She, like Lauren, also pushes past her insecurities and makes an effort to change, and in so doing becomes one of the better characters on the show. However, in Season 2, where we see more of her, we find out that part of her nature is from her overbearing mother and the absence of her father, which makes us see her as more sympathetic. The viewer is automatically inclined to dislike her. Kelly, like Lauren, was a trash-talking and cut-throat and a generally mean and not very nice girl. In my opinion, Lauren showed the most growth, and therefore the most character development, out of all the four girls. This is further witnessed in Season 3, where Lauren became my favorite character because she actually took responsibility for her actions, confessed them, and asked for forgiveness. And it is when she confesses what she did to Sasha that I see that she is developing as a person, and as a character. The video that she sent to Ellen Beales with the cut footage of Sasha and Payson was a terrible thing to do, yes, but she did it out of that desperation and insecurity and not out of sheer malice. However, as the episodes progressed, I started seeing her hidden insecurity and desperation. She was manipulative, petty, and just an all-around brat. Lauren was my least favorite character in Season 1 and most of Season 2. Here’s two of those ‘some’ that really stood out to me: 1. However, it is those ‘some’ with which I am concerned. Sure, not every character was developed as well as some-Payson, for one, and to some extent Kaylie-but there was at least a little bit of development involved in everyone. If you say that there was absolutely no character development, that the characters were stale and flat, I will call you a liar. Let’s dive right into this, shall we? What MIOBI Did Right:Ī.) Character Development. Today I will be discussing what I think it did right. Yesterday I discussed what I believed Make It or Break It got wrong. Also, please remember that this post was written in 2012, so it refers to things current to that time. As a result, I’ve gone through and cleaned up the layout, getting rid of broken links and making things look nicer. I’m not sure why, but I’m going to say it’s because of the great love/hate relationship the gymternet has with this TV show. Originally slated to air on the WB Network, Wildfire was deflected to the ABC Family cable channel, where its debut episode on June 20, 2005, posted the highest ratings of any premiere in the channel's history.Update note, 12/2018: This post remains one of the top-viewed posts on my blog. During the series' first season, Dennis Weaver was seen as Jean's venerable father Henry Ritter, a role that turned out to be the actor's TV swan song (he died in March of 2006, just as the second season commenced). Featured in the cast were Nana Visitor as Raintree's owner Jean Ritter Micah Alberti as Jean's son Matt Ritter, who fell in love with Kris Nicole Tubiola as the scheming and snobbish Danielle Davis, who went out of her way to discredit Kris in Matt's eyes Ryan Sypek as Danielle's brother Junior Davis, who rather surprisingly became one of Kris' best friends and Greg Serano as amiable horse trainer Pablo Betart. Written off as an outcast by society, Kris formed a strong bond with a horse named Wildfire, who had likewise been dismissed as a "loser." Through love and patience, Kris challenged conventional wisdom and trained Wildfire to be a winner, in so doing also bringing a new hope to the Ritters in their perennial cutthroat competition against a rival family of horse breeders, the Davises. As a condition of her parole, Kris went to work at Raintree Horse Farm, run by the Ritter family, a once-prominent horse racing clan now fallen upon hard times. Set in Northern California (though filmed in New Mexico), the weekly, 60-minute drama series Wildfire starred Genevieve Cortese as a troubled teenager sent to juvenile hall for her alleged participation in an auto theft.
