Yeah. I reconsidered leaving Dave out. I decided to replace him with Noah for two reasons:

1. If I felt that I could do more development with Dave if I had him debut first. I mean, Noah could still have his relationship with Emma and potentially a friendship with Owen later on (depends on how I end up developing Dave). Noah could also end up having his orignally intended plot with Heather.

2. I wanted somewhat of a balance in representation between the generations.
