I wonder how much a character's development (as from nasty to nice) is a matter of natural development and how much is due to an actor wanting his character to be liked.
Lorne: My little prince. Oh…what did they do to you? Angel: Nina…tried to…eat me. Lorne: Oh, you're--medic! You're gonna make it Angel. Just don't stop fighting. Doctor! Is there a Gepetto in the house?

A topic for the discussion of Doctor Who, Arrow, and The Flash. Beware possible invasions of iZombie, Sleepy Hollow, or pretty much any other "genre" (read: sci fi, superhero, or fantasy) show that captures our fancy. Expect adult content and discussion of the Big Gay Sex.
Marvel superheroes are discussed over at the MCU thread.

Some actors really like playing villains. (often they're some of the nicest people you'll meet). I expect tho that their ability to find empathy for the bad characters seduces the writers and creators.

I always figured that anyone who plays villains a lot gets all their evil impulses out on the screen (or stage), leaving them with nothing but niceness when they're off. I've heard that Boris Karloff was a charming man in real life.

Poor Fargo.
I'm glad that storyline is over. It was very clever, but I can't say I liked watching Jo and Henry be all evil.

And poor Holly. Though, I'm going to convince myself that she survived but with a changed personality, disappeared, took on a new identity and the name of "Charlie".
