Line 44:
* Carson Beckett from ''[[Stargate Atlantis]]''. So much that fans [[Torches and Pitchforks|mounted a protest outside the studio]] near Vancouver, BC and ended up making the local news. And it worked.
* Spike from ''[[Buffy the Vampire Slayer]]'' was going to last only five episodes, but proved so popular that he was spared and went on to become the show's [[Breakout Character]].
* Helo from the remade ''[[Battlestar Galactica]]'' was only supposed to appear in the pilot episode and get left behind on Caprica. Fan response to the character ensured that he began a main character in the series, to the point of being part of one of show's most important [[Story Arc
* Methos from ''[[Highlander the Series]]'' was only supposed to be around for part of season 3, but the fans liked him so much he was kept.
* Barnabas Collins from ''[[Dark Shadows (TV series)|Dark Shadows]]'' was brought in only as a temporary villain to attempt a revival of the show's ratings. He became incredibly popular with fans, went from [[Jerkass]] to [[Badass]] (or sometimes [[Woobie]] or even [[Jerkass Woobie]]) and is essentially now the face of all permutations of the franchise.
