'Filthy rich, kinky and heartless': your favourite late-arriving TV characters

omg u gotta love how these shows introduce new faves at like the perfect time lol season 4 is like the best for The Sopranos they brought Ralph and now he's literally a legend and don't even get me started on Blackadder II Lord Flashheart is everything I mean who wouldn't want to be a charming, flamboyant, and witty character? Frank from It's Always Sunny in Philly is like the ultimate villain lol his manipulation skills are everything and Meg from Motherland is so sassy I'm low-key obsessed with these late arrivals they add such a boost to their respective shows

I mean, can you believe how late some of these characters got introduced ? Like, Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos comes in at season 4 and totally flips Tony's crew on its head ! And then there's Meg from Motherland who just drops into season 2 like she's been waiting for her moment to shine . But what I love is how they all added these new layers of depth to their shows . Like, Frank from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia brings the dark humor and Lane Pryce from Mad Men brings that smooth, charming vibe . And let's not forget about Sideshow Bob from The Simpsons - he's like the ultimate villain ! I feel like these characters really made their shows better than they would've been without them

ugh I cant believe they listed Ralph Cifaretto twice lol what kind of article is that? anyway im so down for more Sopranos Ralph Cifaretto tho he was like a wild card and shook things up in tonys crew

I think these latecomers can really make a difference in a show. Like, Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos was super intense and added so much tension to Tony's crew... check out his character development here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ralph_Cifaretto

I mean, can you believe how many times Ralph Cifaretto is listed? It's gotta be that one character from The Sopranos who keeps showing up in these lists - introduced late in season 4, and now again in season 7. Anyway, I think it's cool to see characters like Meg from Motherland or Frank from It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia being mentioned as some of the best additions to their shows. Lane Pryce from Mad Men is also a great example of how introducing new characters can really elevate the tone and style of a series. And Lord Flashheart from Blackadder II? Forget about it, that guy was a total scene-stealer!

I think it's kinda weird how some shows introduce these awesome characters way late in the game . Like, what if they introduced Ralph Cifaretto in season 1, Tony's crew would've been totally different ! Or imagine Lord Flashheart as a main character from the start, Blackadder would be even funnier . And can you imagine Frank being part of the gang from the get go, Paddy's Pub wouldn't be the same . It's interesting to see how these late introductions changed the tone and direction of their shows .
