From memory it was a voice actor which said was TDPI didn't exist at the time the RR cast was being decided, which implied there couldn't be any TDPI characters in it. But they never actually said there wouldn't. I suspect Leonard is a late last minute addition into the season like B or Blaineley. But yeah, on at the moment he definitely feels like a mistake considering he's the most consistently disliked TDPI character.

I was really hoping the other returnee would be one of the underused, popular ROTI characters. Instead we got the Hogwarts reject.

Owen and Noah was practically confirmed last year, and considering how well their friendship was received in TDWT, it seems like the right decision. It should be interesting to have Geoff paired with someone new, explore a non-Bridgette side of him we haven't seen since TDI. I'm haven't got high hopes for Leonard's LARPer friend either.
