hlh_shortcuts, certain thought trends seem to emerge through the stories, particular themes or questions or canon moments that pop up independently in multiple unrelated, unalike stories that year.
This year, so far, "Richie & Connor after Tessa's death" seems to be a biggie. I have not yet read all the stories released to date, yet I believe I've already bumped into this concept four separate times, one way and another. (See the list of works.) I wonder whether there was a conversation about it somewhere that planted and nurtured these seeds, or whether the thought was carried on the wind long ago and only finally now the conditions for sprouting have arrived. As a trend, I'm certainly enjoying it!
Another trend this year, so far, seems to be very little Duncan. Few appearances, fewer as the perspective character. This is not as new or distinct. I suspect that, at this end of history, many folks find more unplucked story fruit with other characters.

My own favorite seasons are the first two, so Duncan, Tessa, and Richie are my personal core that the rest of the series simply fails to respect as I feel they are due. ;-)

Going by opening credits, I think Tessa beats Anne and Charlie? She had an entire season plus four episodes.
I think if I had to choose four, the ones who I felt made the largest impact on the story were Duncan, Richie, Tessa (her loss altered the tone and Duncan's subsequent choices massively) and Joe.
