I understood the point you were making. And I don't think anyone on the show left out Simon because his portrayer was black or killed off Dee for the same reason. But I do think an argument could be made, and you'd probably agree with me, that they could put more consideration (as could many other series) into the limited role of some characters and how their lack of presence or a death might be perceived. And I generally look to what the show has done well - a Hispanic lead, two stars over fifty, half the cast being female, etc.
