Agreed.
I was hoping with Martin being in the political sphere that we were going to get a Capitol-lite story with Martin on Capitol Hill getting involved in all the shady sh*t that goes on. I still feel like it is a plot that can write itself with all that is going on in the political sphere now. At times, I wish they would've made Joey a fellow politician/Martin's rival instead of a mobster. Hell, many politicians move like mobsters, so why not do that? I was also hoping that Martin's secret would've been a Chappaquiddick-esqe incident where he accidentally killed a lover in a drunken fury and Vernon and Anita covered it up.
I think Dani would be a good internal rival for ChelseaKat, as early on they teased that Chelsea v. Dani tiff, but it was dropped. As aforementioned, it would be fun to see Dani infiltrate the brand (in hopes of finding herself after Bill) and cause tension with Chelsea AND cause it between Chelsea and Kat.
Lastly, Bill's business partner could've been the first major arc villain on the show outside of Leslie; he should've been knowledgeable of all Bill's antics (more specifically threatening to harm Eva/Leslie) and blackmailed him into defending him. He could've learned of Hayley's true identity. And learned of Martin's incident, Vanessa/Doug's issues, and dangled Ted's affair over his head. I would've had him assault (not r*pe) Naomi, which rattled her initially but eventually light a fire for her nail him. However, we'd end up in a classic "whodunit" with someone like Doug or Randy (Hayley's cousin) being the true killer.
And I am sure that a lot of it might do with budget constraints right now, so I am hoping that the budget gets expanded.
Again, these are suggestions they could've taken, and I adore the show for what they do give us. I just want more for it.
