Series 10 Casting Discussion

[A Cousin]

S10 characters for sure: Harry, Ruth, Dimitri, Beth and Tariq.
Those crossing over: Towers and Alec

I think the end of S9 set Towers up to cross over for sure. Absolutely. No doubt about it. I love SRB as an actor and he had some great chemistry with PF.

I re-watched 9.8 thus Alec's intro scene last night and there is a whole lot of back story crammed into that one little scene for him to not be in S10. Add to that the "history" with Beth, whatever the heck it is. I really think he is being set up to at least be a field officer if not section chief. His intro felt familiar. I was reminded of Adams intro to assist when Tom went bad. The Alec character amused me greatly: I thought he had an interesting mix of insolence and sincerity that has great potential. Besides, Harry is looking for a "different kind of person" to do the job. Alec is certainly that. And he has nothing to lose. While Harry now has everything to lose.

But that still seems a bit thin to me. There needs to be at least one more, IMO. I can *hope* that it is Malcolm, but am not holding my breath. I do hope HS continues to make guest artist appearances at least. I really want new characters and new actors though.
