Wish List for Season 9

[The Grid]

A lot of things that have already been mentioned I completely agree with.

- The development of Tariq as a character is a must. One episode should centre around him in some way. Maybe a storyline which makes him realise how serious his role in the team is?

- Two new agents to arrive and join the team. Not another two journalists who wanted a career change, but a woman and a man who have come out of training. I'd like the man to be the opposite of Lucas, maybe put his nose out of joint... similar to the brief Tom/Adam rivalry we seen at the beginning of Series 3. He should be a sensitive man, not your stereotypical tough male agent.. I'd like the new female agent to be bright and cheerful, but she can focus on the job at hand when needed.

- I'd like Lucas to still be an enigma to us, but for secrets from his past in Russia to slowly unravel. Some twists and turns regarding his character would be really nice, so we start seeing him from a different perspective - I don't want the writers to be lazy though and just make him a traitor as a twist to his character. I want them to be less obvious...

- Some more screentime for Harry and Ruth. Don't restrict them to just staying on the Grid. I don't want a romance to take over the series, so I don't know how they could carry on the Harry/Ruth story. Maybe have them go on a date and Harry to admit his feelings to Ruth, but they both agree they can't commit because of the pressures of their careers... it would give them a brief story where their relationship is moving forward, but carries on the will they? won't they? thing..

- More humour and one liners. I want different characters to interact with one another. Tariq/Ruth, Lucas/Ruth, Tariq/Harry... don't just make them interact if they are working on an operation together. Make them interact on the Grid generally. I want some unexpected interactions between different characters.

- Make the Grid more of a 'workplace' environment, give it more atmosphere.

- Give us some more undercover stories, where simple gadgets are used. Give us a Grid-centric episode where we see the team working together as a whole, to prevent a crisis e.g. 2.5, 4.10.
