Laura
Cooper
Major Briggs
Bobby
Truman

The funny thing about the Major is I didn't appreciate him at all at age 10, but on my first rewatch in 10 years this summer I couldn't believe how awesome he was! His conversation with Bobby in season 2 usually gets me misty.

Always loved Laura. Gotta have Coop. His friendship with Harry is one of my favorite things in life. Not gonna lie, I'm sad that Michael Ontkean's nose isn't going to be tweaked in season 3.

(Honourable mentions have to go to Sam Stanley and Chet Desmond, who I initially hated for taking the place of Coop, when coming off of the first watch through of the series, and I have grown to really respect for how they make the world of Twin Peaks feel so much more sprawling and less confined. Shame none of them seem to have a role in the upcoming series)

Bobby and the Major's relationship is one of the greatest things in the show. It has heart, feels really genuine, and is one of the aspects of the teenagers that they got dead on. Beautiful stuff.

I also am tremendously bummed that Ontkean won't be in it. I've for the most part made my peace, but, every once in a while it still pains me so.

Yesss! Stumping you, of all people, is maybe my proudest moment yet on this board.

But I have to admit I had to google to get the name of the character. I just knew him as "Chippendale Mountie."

I hope that's the term you googled!

I'm really hoping Ben has a nice size part. No Catherine, Pete, and limited Audrey. So I sure hope they've found some good stuff for Ben!

Ross, we'll see. I'm pretty optimistic ...possibly even with Catherine! Maybe not with screen time with all of them, but content. (I'm not even ruling out Annie too!)
