I'm not hating on the character of Will or his portrayal on OUATiW, but so far during season 4 he has had hardly anything at all to do!

It makes me think the writers simply brought him over to Once as an attempt to appeal to fans who were upset at the spin-off's cancellation and now they have no idea what to do with him.

I've felt similarly about Belle - she's a character that could have great potential on the show, but the writers make her a complete non-presence on the show, save for the odd episode here and there.

Even if there is a future episode focusing heavily on Will's story, I feel like it's not enough to justify throwing Michael Socha straight into the show and into the main cast no less.

So far his role has been 'the town drunk' or 'the clown' and it's kind of annoying to watch, save that role for a guest star, not a main cast member!

In short, I wish they would have given him something more substantial to do.
