Bringing back part of the cast from TDI for TDA. I would've had an entirely new cast go through the filmlot, and I believe that would have solved a lot of the issues people have with TDA. TDA was a fun season, but one of the huge flaws I saw with it was that it was destroying certain characters like Courtney, Gwen, Leshawna, Trent (even thogh there wasn't much there to begin with), and Owen (second half Owen is his worst iteration honestly). While it was a great season for characters like Lindsay, Beth, Justin, and Harold, I still would've prefered to see an entirely new cast fill their shoes in appoximately the same roles they had. Since TD has established that characters can know eachother prior to the show (like Katie and Sadie), I don't think much in the way of interaction and plot has to change... though I'd prefer a few interactions just not happen (9). Having the old cast return did set up good things to come in WT... however, I think it would've been a better season with just new characters.
