Is anyone else a huge Dougie fan and would be sad to see him gone? (SPOILERS)
I have never seen a character as a blank state filled with such innocence and optimism like an infant.
He has had so many funny scenes so far
The tie worn sideways across his head
Laying the potato chip on sonnys bed
Jade gives two rides
Helooooooooooo
Slurping coffee like a baby from a bottle
Chasing the assistant around with coffee
Janey e propositioning him and he returns to eating chocolate cake the driest on the planet
Flipping bed arms
Will anyone else be sad to see him gone from the show if the real cooper returns at some point?

I think it's just about striking the right balance. If Dougie outstays his welcome (which for many he has) then he won't be, but if his transition to Coop is done at the right point than there will be deserved melancholy about losing him.

I will miss him, but I am missing Cooper too.
We need a Dougie spinoff.

In a word, yes.
Not only because he has formed relationships and attachments which his re-entry as Coop does not guarantee any further commitment to (unless DougieCoop's experiences also manage to be integrated into a new, third personality -- a nice idea), but also because I think in some ways DougieCoop has been my on-screen counterpart. Not just a protagonist, but a material embodiment of my own bewilderment, stuck-ness and absence within the framework of this piece of art. To lose all that is in some way to lose my place in it, even if it was a place mostly of void and distance. To then have to sympathise instead with a dextrous, knowing agent with full (or somewhat full) faculties is, for the same reasons, going to feel not like a gain but like a deep loss.

As a matter of fact, 'Chalfont' was the name of the people that rented this space before. Two Chalfonts. Weird, huh?

Maybe... I'm ready to 'lose' him, but perhaps I'll miss him if/when that happens.
Re: Is anyone else a huge Dougie fan and would be sad to see him gone?
While I kind of view Dougie and Cooper as the same person, I think I'm ready to see our Cooper return with all his original memories. But I'm going to miss this phase of Cooper. It's bittersweet because Cooper HAS to come back, he's too important not too. But on the other hand, Dougie's life with Janey E and Sonny Jim feels like a perfect ending to Cooper's journey and it's a shame it can't end here.

If we 'lose' Dougie, I'll feel sad for Janey-E and Sonny Jim if it means he has to leave that life . I miss Cooper, but I'll also feel sad for Cooper's sake when/if he regains his memory. It will be trauma upon trauma for him: he lost 25 years of his life, people he loved might have been traumitized by a person that looks exactly like him and acts in his name. And the life he's starting tp discover - a son and a wife, is really a fraud since he's an impostor in their life. Imagine having all that come down upon you
Re: Is anyone else a huge Dougie fan and would be sad to see him gone?
And honestly... he just seems so happy. And everyone around him just accepts that he's like this and gives him a little hand to get through his day. He's so content with this life and soon the plot is going to show up and ruin it for him.

I wouldn't be sad at all to see him gone.

I have warmed to Dougie - it's the blinking lights and bright sunshine of Vegas I'm not too fond of.

If Coop does snap back - what will his first words be...?
"How's Annie?" perhaps?

I´m very fond of Dougie but if the story turns him into Cooper again at some point and it works, I won´t complain.
