Episode 28: Second Time’s The Charm! Part Two: Main Character Energy.

What makes a supporting character so interesting that someone decides they deserve a story of their own?

This week on Life According to Lisa (and Jim too!), we're picking up where we left off with our conversation about spinoffs, prequels, and the characters who step out of the background and into the spotlight!

Huckleberry Finn started out in Tom Sawyer's world. Neagley was Reacher's trusted investigator. And what about Dr. Watson? Could he carry a story without Sherlock Holmes?

We're also talking about The Other Bennet Sister, which takes Mary Bennet, the often-overlooked sister from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, and finally gives her a story of her own. Sometimes the most interesting character isn't the one everybody notices first!

Then we take a few turns into familiar storylines, from Trading Places and Quantum Leap to the changing worlds of mystery, romance, crime fiction, and romantasy. Can you take a character out of one genre and drop them into another without losing what makes them special?

And naturally, Jim turns the question on Lisa. Could someone from The Brooklyn Witch step out of Speranza's shadow and become the star of their own book?

Because there's a big difference between a character you want to see more of and a character whose story you actually want to follow!

So grab your coffee, get comfortable, and join us for
