it feels like you are less constrained in who you introduce, and can rely on the reader keeping up to a greater degree; but you're also fighting a much more uphill battle to justify why you've introduced someone new when you could have used an existing character.

Seconding some of what's already here: character first, celebrity waaay back there. Celebs who can stick around for more than one ep would also be nice.

Happy birthday, Terry! Hope you both have a great year.
