Friday Five: Characters We’d Like To See Again

Mel July 9, 2010 Uncategorized 2,369 Views

Chuck has had some dynamic characters come and go over the last 3 seasons. Some we were glad to see the back of, some we thought still had some story to tell. Here are the five characters I’d most like to see again:

  1. Bring back Cole Barker!

    Manoosh Depak: We met Manoosh, played by Fahim Anwar, in episode 3.06, “Chuck vs. the Nacho Sampler”. Brilliant but greedy, he built his own Intersect then tried to sell it at Weap-Con. I’d like to see him break out of whatever top secret bunker he’s in and seek revenge on Chuck for burning him.

  2. Jill Roberts: Don’t shoot me! She already came back once, but Jill’s (Jordana Brewster) story still feels unfinished. Is it petty to want her to come back and see Sarah and Chuck all loved up? She claims to know that she gave up a great guy, but I want her to see it firsthand. I think it would be good closure for Chuck, too.
  3. Cole Barker: Speaking of closure – season 2’s testosterone-to-burn super spy from MI6 was pivotal in showing Chuck that he has what it takes to be a real spy. As controversial as he was at the time due to perceived feelings between Cole (Jonathan Cake) and Sarah, he was an engaging character who seemed to care about Chuck reaching his potential. Wouldn’t it be nice for him to get paired up with Team Bartowski again and see just how far Charles Carmichael has come?
  4. Jack Burton: In episode 2.10, “Chuck vs. the Delorean”, Sarah’s dad, played by Gary Cole, gave us a tantalizing glimpse into Sarah’s past and how she came to be the Sarah Walker we know and Chuck loves. But come on, only one episode?!? We need more Papa Burton!
  5. Harry Tang: The CIA whisked the Tang (C.S. Lee) off to “Hawaii” in episode 1.08, “Chuck vs. the Truth”. I want to know if “Hawaii” was actually Hawaii or if he’s been stuck in some cubicle doing data entry for the last 2 years. I vote for the latter.

That’s my list. Who would you welcome back to the show and why?

    Love her to bits! Smart, funny and sexy as hell; what’s not to like. Would love for her to be a regular.

    Jill. She needs to see S/C as a couple and I liked her too much to leave her in the category of BAD GUY. She should have something to do with being vital to reuniting Chuck with Momma B.

    Also I agree with the MI6 agent….can;t remember his name,,,,but he would be great, Like have Chuck run across him in some enemy detention center and rescue him while performing some other mission. make it incidental and an after thought. Then next episode put him with the team for a mission so he can see the chemistry of the team and between Sarah and Chuck.

    BUT PLEASE!! with both these characters,,,no more tension between Sarah and Chuck related to their relationship. I am SO tired of that sub plot. Nearly made me quit watching infact but I started Chuck late and a friend gave me the spoiler that eventually they get together,
