Dawn is only popular within the fan base, in the show she was complete fodder. And I don't think the creators expected her popularity. Ella's a similar situation. I think Heather and Alejandro are pretty much on the same level. Alejandro was the most focussed on character in TDWT and got further than Heather in AS. Owen and Duncan are the biggest writers pet. They got extremely far 3 seasons in a row without having interesting plotlines. I think that's a bigger sign of writers favoritism then when characters with a lot of dramatic potential make it far.
