Outlander: Blood of My Blood Season 2 introduces Grace without giving her the kind of grand entrance normally reserved for an important new character.

Best Medicine returns for Season 2 with several of its characters considering lives beyond Port Wenn, but one of the premiere’s biggest decisions comes from Elaine Denton. Martin’s endlessly energetic assistant has always talked and behaved like someone whose ambitions are larger than the small Maine town around her, and Episode 1 finally gives her…
Karen Wheeler is never one of the people Mike wants involved when something strange begins happening in Hawkins. That makes her relatively easy for Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 to keep outside its supernatural adventures, but the character was still present when the animated series began. Alysia Reiner voiced Karen in Season 1, and she…
Steve Harrington was one of the more recognizable supporting characters brought into Stranger Things: Tales From ’85 when the animated series began.

Aimee Garcia’s arrival as Renata gave Dead City Season 3 one of its most important new characters, with the leader quickly becoming an ally to Maggie and the center of the hospital community trying to build something lasting in Manhattan.
