Heather's redemption in TDWT was only because of Alejandro's "eviler than you" presence and she took the protagonist role against him rather easily (who could have been else, Cody?)...However, TDAS's finale crowned up her new attitude that it's not totally good but sure far better than the beginning. Same story for Alejandro that overall was never mean without a purpose. Justin redeemed himself by simply standing aside forever after TDA, and that's pretty much what to say about him.

Courtney NEVER REDEEMED in TDAS. Her friendship with Gwen was shoved down all the time  and was only because Gwen excused with her ton of times while Courtney never tried to give her a single chance, instead mistreated her (Blue Moon, anybody reminds?) and then came SMS that "ruined all her redemption". Tsk. If that was redemption...

Jo wasn't mentioned in your blog but she could be redeemed in a way similar to Heather, however it's hard to imagine her losing the competitive-bossy nature. She's also a little of a bully to people in generally. Heck, she and Josee are the most competitive seen in all TD.

Scott healed his mischievousness with his idiocy. Hard to say this is an improvement since he was already dumb in ROTI but this was hidden by his antagonistic role (like Justin in TDA). He redeemed himself just giving out the antagonist role, simple and square.

Scarlett: too few known about her true personality and past to find a justification for her sociopathic evilness. Then I can't see any redemption for her at the moment.

Mal: same as Scarlett, we didn't get to know how Mal was born inside Mike and he's the personification of a dark side, not a true persona. Redemption could have been possible if we knew more of him maybe through a flashback but the writers didn't do any effort in this direction. Pity.

Sugar: I can't justify the majority of her mean acts through Pahkitew, and the paegant excuse doesn't work ehough. Impossible to be redeemed in my opinion, unless they skip the problem like they did with Scott and Justin.

Amy: her redemption is impossible for much we know about her at the moment.

Josèe: she's the true evil of the Dancers because Jacques recognizes the limit between competition and free mischievousness and doesn't understand the second. Josèe is likely evil by herself but I agree with Art that may be because how she was raised, furthermore she's mischievous mostly when she gets a grudge on someone. Overall, she was evil almost all because she wanted to win and admitted it in the end of RR promising to become a better person. We'll see if she keeps her promise or no...
