Re: BIG MISTAKE…
Tanya Allen is a fine actress. A big reason I got into Starhunter was because of her — used to like her in a show called the Newsroom.
I definitely would have liked to see her given more screen-time. For one thing, her character never fully developed. Percy sometimes seems a bit two-dimensional — always a bit of a brat, petulant, and moody. Would’ve liked to have seen more complexity, and that required more screen-time, and more plots that directly revolved around her. I know she’s a good actress, and for what time she does have, she is still a pleasure to watch.
I’ve wondered why Percy wasn’t a more obviously central character (more of a supporting role)… Perhaps the producers/writers wanted her to have more time, but she had other commitments/projects, and therefore she wasn’t able/willing to devote as much time and energy to the show as some of the others. She’s a well-respected actress, especially in Canada.
She is the major character that ties the seasons together — a very important role for the series to remain coherent.
Yeah, definitely wish she was in it more… She remains my favourite character in the show.
By the way, welcome to the board. 🙂
