Good golly, no!! I love Molly Shannon, but she’s best in short doses. Maybe a recurring character, once or twice a season. If scripted shows ever go back to production.

I love the character and it would be great to see her on a regular basis, as a more thorn-in-their-side type character than a full-blown nemesis. I’m sure Bryan Fuller could come up with something excellent for her.

i thought molly shannon did a wonderful job and it great to see her in TV again. I loved the spoof on the birds! Classic hopefully she could even join with the pie hos that would be very interesting

Yay! I love that actress. She was so funny on SNL and Will and Grace. I would consider it an honor to have her be a regular on PD. I am not worried of her character ever becoming boring. I have yet to see Bryan Fuller writting something that is not incredibly creative, smart, entertaining and fascinating. Molly Shannon is a very good and funny comedian. Team her up with Bryan and the incredible team of PD and you can only get some most watch hours of television entertainement. Even if she only got the part of the always there Bad guy, I know, the writers of this show would spin it in a way that can only be amazing. So again. Yay!

Is she REALLY a nemisis anymore? I mean they helped her out in the end, and Candy shops and bakeries don’t really compete… although I know Ms. Life-Tastes-Sweeter-with-a-Bite-of-the-Bitter was really just after the location of The Pie Hole.

I think that some really interesting things could happen with her, as a fair-weather friend and/or nosy neighbor. Currently the team is pretty secluded, Chuck doesn’t have any friends outside of Emerson, Olive, and Ned because, well, she died and that does tend to ruin a relationship. Ned doesn’t really have any outside friends because he’s all weirded out and hermit like. I suppose Olive has more interesting friends like Pinky lurking around somewhere though, and Emerson doesn’t seem like the type to make friends for any reason other than personal gains in the monetary sence.

I guess what I’m saying is a little more interaction for the group could be a great thing.

I don’t know. I hope that they put as many twists and turns as they have in previous episodes. It adds flavor.

I’m not sure what role she could play. I agree the vindictive competition would get old. They already have the suspicious character who is trying to get to the bottom of things, so I’m not sure what more they could do with her character.

I think that most tv series need a main nemisis for the season’s story arc. Like Buffy the Vampire Slayer and the seasonal “Big Bads”. It just makes the season more cohesive (sp?). But I also agree that her character can get old if kept as is. I see her as maybe being on for the rest of this season (if there is one) or for some or most of next season. But not for the long haul.

I’m impartial. However, I’m SO glad Oscar V. will be back next week! Dilly’s character was nothing compared to him. (Sorry, Molly.)

i’m all for it as long as it stays creative- not 101 ways to get rid of the annoying business competition. i’m definitely not seeing her character as another olive (enemy turned friend)- dilly is waaay to vindictive for that.
