Who is everyone's favourite bit character? I made a rough list of the main ones. VICE PRESIDENTS John Hoynes - Vice President. I originally thought he would be the main villain for the show so was pleasantly suprised when he turned out to be more of an obstacle. Has professional history with Josh. "Bingo" Bob Russell - Vice President. Is supposedly a lot brighter than people give him credit for but never really shows it. Impresses the President. Glenallen Morgan - Acting President John Goodman demands cakes and snacks for all. SECRETARIES Delores Landingham - President's Secretary, doting mother to all. Deborah "Debbie" Fiderer - Landingham's replacement and a dirty hippy. Margaret Hooper - Leo's Assistant. Says something weird. Then Leo says MARGARET. PRESS Danny "The Cannon" Concannon - Reportewr and CJ's original squeeze. Awesome character with amazing hair who disappears and reappears throughout the show's run. MILITARY Admiral Fitzwallace - Awesome Joint Chief. Chief of the Joints. Dr Nancy McNally - Head of the NSA or something. Also awesome. Kate Harper - McNally's deputy. Gets a suprisng amount of screen time in later seasons and is involved in one of the stranger realtiosnhips in the show. Lt. Commander Jack Reese - Christian Slater, dates Donna for a while. I honestly can't remember anything about what he does. Simon Donovan - That guy from NCSI, assigned to protect CJ. Teaches her how to shoot a gun and stuff. Gets written out of the show in one of the most needlessly melodramatic ways (but at least we find out what happens to him amiright). POLITICAL Mandy Hampton - Media Consultant. The original dropped character and first of many "showing how they got the job then forget about them". Josh's ex. Works under Toby. Bruno Gianelli - Barlett's campaign manager for relection and Vinick's campaign manager. His change on the show mirrored Ron Silver's political swing from democrat to republican in real life. Best goatee. Joey Lucas - Hard of hearing congressional campaign manager and polling expert. Impresses the president. Has a love/hate relationship with Josh. Followed by interpreter Kenny. Got pregnant. Had fling with Q from Star Trek. Lord John Marbury - UK Ambassador, Leo's nemesis due to his constant reference to him as Gerald, Earl of Croy, Earl of Sherborne, Marquess of Needham and Dolby, Baronet of Brycey. A salacious and eccentric character, a true brit. Annabeth Schott - CJ's deputy and later Leo's assistant. So small the cameras have difficulty when she and CJ are in the same shot. Gets some great lines and one of the highlights of the later series'. COUNSEL Cliff Calley - Senate Majority Counsel. A dirty republican who CJ pegs to replace Josh. Stands up a bit for Leo in his hearing and helps Santos with a stem cell vote. Ainsley Hayes - A another dirty republican. A firey southern counsel who does the "gets the job by impressing the President with an impassioned speech" thing. Disagrees with Leo a lot. Reappears at the end of Season 7. Joseph "Joe" Quincy - Associate counsel. The third of the dirty republican counsels. Matthew Perry in his Studio 60 rehearsal slot. Again, his story arc is basically him getting the job and then disappearing. Oliver Babish - White House Counsel who gets one of the best show openings when the MS case breaks just as he's about the leave for his holiday. Generally the buzzkill who reminds everyone about THE LAW. JOSH'S BITCHES Amy Gardner - Josh's squeeze and womens' rights lobbyist. Works for the First Lady and later the Santos administration. Annoying at times but super hot. Ryan Pierce - Josh's intern who's a pain but then redeems himself. Josh dislikes Pierce's success on the back his father's name. The Wesley Crusher of the West Wing (in that he's an annoying young character that we all hate, right?) OTHER LOVE INTERESTS Brittany "Laurie" Rollins - A student/call girl. Squeeze for Sam Seaborn. Later goes on to tell House he can't stop a patient's heart to help diagnose his condition. Then House says a funny. Mallory O'Brien. Leo's daughter, has a thing for Sam which never comes to anything. Colin Ayres - Jason Issacs, has a fling with Donna in the Middle East just so Josh can get jealous and possesive and poo poo.

DrVenkman posted:That's not to say Sorkin was perfect. He has a terrible habit of dropping stories when it suits him. Absolutely, consistency and continuity were not his strong points. I also found his payoffs rarely matched the build-ups. It's funny how his wanton turnover of characters actually matched the realtively short lifespans of White House staffers.

With the Santos/Vinick debate, were there two results shot or some kind of telepone vote or something?
