I mean, I don't care for Lily whatsoever but I do think that it's a shame  Mal didn't get a proper backstory during her 4B episode and so I would totally take her back if they wanted to bring back Stefan and introduce the Briar Rose that Mal hated so much.

And I'm not even sure if there are actually lot of fans are asking or that select reporters just keep asking A&E directly about it, but in the grand scheme of things, I struggle to see why "Lily finding her father" is the one that keeps coming up. They've picked up and left quite a few loose ends over the years - surely there are other more interesting ones that people can annoy the writers about. Their answer for this comes off as "We might cover it someday just to quiet the ones who keep asking but there are other things we'd rather focus on," so yeah, I wouldn't exactly get my hopes up.......though we are in the LoUS so they can really pick any dragon from literature to be her father if they need some material for another episode this season. And I would probably be more interested in this dragon's backstory than the Mal & Lily part of it lol. Hope they pick a good one!

I don't care about Mal and Lily either, but they did something they should have never done and that is starting a new plot thread without any guarantees that they would be able to continue it. They should have wrapped things at the end of season 4B and start this Lily's father nonesense when they know they will be able to follow through with that, but now it's just an unnecessary open thread (memory leak XD) that nobody cares about(and it's not the only one, we still have Mulan, Lancealot, Guinevere etc... They just don't know how to handle their storylines and that is the result of adding millions of pointless characters just for the sake of having them).
