When i was looking at my work from pre production work into the series arc's it became clear that some characters, weren't really highlighted in the episodes. For example, in episode 6, Ollie doesn't have a storyline at all and he doesn't have a series arc. I decided to go into research mode to find out a bit more about series arc's in general and how they work.
Here are some videos i found useful:
I thought of the idea of having Ollie, grow as a player from episode 1 to episode 6. have him sit out the game due to his clear ineptness and then have him come back and provide an assist for the winner was a big deal. It gave his character a sense of closure from the start of the series where he ends up missing a penalty to this moment was a great idea.
The idea that a long arc is the best was really interesting, i also liked the idea that along the way the character changes but could also relapse was something really interesting. It is actually what i had in mind for Dean's character, It was always too easy to make everything go along swimmingly for him in his first proper relationship. He is still a baby in that respect and finding his feet in the dating pool, so having him revert back to his 'safe' place and sleep with Hannah felt like the perfect choice for his character.
