This has been discussed in many other threads a lot, so I feel that it is something that deserves it's own thread.
Many of us think Juliette's character is going to exit the show soon, based on recent events on the show and the characters low popularity. Let me make clear that I disagree with the hatred thrown at this character and even more so with that thrown the way of Bitsie Tulloch, the wonderful actor that portrays her (but lets keep that discussion in other threads).
I feel that the main problem with the character, as a good friend has helped make clear, is that her entire reason for doing everything is attached to her relationship with Nick... Rosalee has Monroe, her family and the council, at times, urging her in different directions, Monroe has Rosalee as well as his own strong will, Hank has his duties as a policeman that at times com into conflict with Grimm matters... In short every long term scoobie has other influences other than Nick. The writers have failed to give Juliette any other attachments or influences and thus made her hard to like and hard to play.
I feel that this is the main thing I want to see in a new interest for Nick, other influences, i want to meet her family, i want to meet her friends (possibly past love interests) and I want her to be a member of the Grimm world already (if we have to go through another season of Nick hemming a hawing over how to tell a new girl about the Grimm world my head may explode.
Ideas from current/past characters I've heard about are in other threads are...
1: Adalind: I do not feel that this is a realistic option: too much baggage, the characters are too different and the show runners would never do it.
2: Trubel: Ick is all I have to say. Two reasons for this are: A: while she may or may not be biologically related to Nick she is more little sister than Peer for Nick... B: she has the emotional maturity of a 12 or 13 year old girl, which only supports point A.
3: Ariel Ekhardt: NO NO NO... Too crazy, Nick would never go for a girl like her... Plus the actor is about to start a regular role on "the flash: on CW... It may be fun to have a 2-4 episode arch where she shows up as a guest star to bug Nick and maybe a romantic interest.
4: Valentina Espinoza: This I could get behind. The character from La Llorona was strong willed and a little wild. She was well played by Kate Del Castillo. Kate I understand is a very popular actress in Mexico and is involved with a lot of projects still... Still she might be available AFAIK.
More than anything I'm looking for several qualities in Nick's next major romantic attachment A: Good in a fight B: Strong willed (Willing to disagree with Nick and not let it slide or wait) C: a Wild side D: As I said before already involved in the Grimm/wesen world.
And one more thing, I think I would like to see at least 2 or 3 rebound/failed relationships before any new long term relationship begins... Maybe Ariel Ekhardt could be involved there.
Thoughts?
