Bud is the one member of the cast who should remain fundamentally the same throughout the series, since he often provides much-needed comic relief in a very gloomy show. But there hasn't been anything too interesting done with Nick lately, at least in terms of what we've seen from protagonists in a hundred other TV shows. (That ISN'T a suggestion to turn Nick into a villain, by the way! Between "Grimm" and "Terminator: Genisys", I've had enough of seeing formerly heroic characters pull a Darth Vader.)
I don't consider Bud a major character. Every time I see him, I like him more and more though. In my opinion, he is the one character who has grown and become more complex since day one. He had a real fear of Nick and learned to overcome it. He also showed real courage in the episode where Monroe was kidnapped. Of all the characters, he turned out to be the real standout in that storyline.
I agree with you about Juliette. She is probably the worst example of a character with potential who was flushed down the toilet. When I saw her turn into a hexenbiest and scream at herself in the mirror, I was really excited for a new and different storyline. I actually could see some comedic moments with the hexenbiest vet treating patients' pets. Or, as a hexenbiest, being able to develop some concoction to treat some terminal pet malady like Parvo. Of course, actually being part of the Scooby gang would have been a good plotline for her as well.
The Juliette-now-becomes-a-hexenbiest-slut was also completely wrong, unbelievable and not worthy of her character.
The best way to frustrate a cyberbully is to ignore him.
