Written for: Friday Writings #5: A Second(ary) Look Who are your favorite secondary characters? Well-done secondary characters are like the seasoning in a good meal. They aren’t the focus, but they add so much richness to the final product. Who are your favorite secondary characters? (posted by Rommy) Dealing with Dr. Watson is a delight. Though a bit different in books, his character on screen was more of a bumbler. Always polite, even when Holmes was frightful to him, or in a sullen mood. Affable Dr. Watson, dressed in a different wardrobe than Holmes, especially in the hat department, deferring to a derby. Loyal and lovable, he would placate Mrs. Hudson, their landlady, when Holmes had been rude, leaving her prepared foods uneaten, when swept up in a new case. Instantly liked by everyone he met, and of course, me. https://poetsandstorytellersunited.blogspot.com/

I thought of Holmes as well, when this prompt came up at PSU. Thank you for giving his perspective.

The Watson from the TV show is my favorite, too. Many times, I was more interested in his story than in Sherlock’s. And yes, he is such a likable guy.
