The biggest problem the show is you have to balance between the popular and well known characters and the forgotten or lesser used ones. But they have to be used correctly or else it would just be a waste. Honestly, I loved Beth's evolution in the season, but thought Justin was a waste as a villain. (in fact it was hard to say there was a villain until Courtney finally came back, just a bunch of mental cases) On the other hand, there are good stories and concepts that were used from the older characters as well, such as Owen's "payback sabotage" plot and the Duncan/Harold development...but unfortunately I could have done without the blowing up of Gwen/Trent.
