Yes. Because it'd be a "cheat".
(And this is one viewer that is very, very hostile to "cheats" like
that...)

That's why it's called "character development".
You "dance with the one that brung you". These are the characters they
introduced to us (as credited cast), from Day One.
So the writers are going to have to make it work with either the Doc,
or his partner. Anything else would be a massive cheat, and would
destroy my confidence in the show.
Ian (One caveat: if one of the other women they showed us in the
pilot, in the videotape of the crowd scene, is brought in later (but
within the first couple of seasons) *with the same actress*, then I'd
probably be OK with it. But it seems non-sensical to make the Doc a
cast member, and then have her not be im****tant to the show's primary
storyarc...)
