Sometimes there are characters side stories – and I'm not against side stories – the echo absolutely nowhere. That latest example of that is Chick and Romero. In general, there isn't much point to either character, even if I do think they are very well acted.

Because a well rounded story has other characters. Although both Chick & Romero will have to do with the ending.

They are both annoying at the moment, but I'm waiting to see how it all ties together....

I don't think any of us knew going into it that there would be this much happening in White Pine Bay. But certain situations, like with certain characters or subplots, take it a little too far. There's so much going on that certain things don't make a whole lot of sense were really serve any greater purpose. Romero and Chick, as well as they both think the actors portray them, they are not necessary at all. Romero's character has been all over the map since the very first season. he doesn't care about sex trafficking or drug cartels in his own town for the first couple of seasons, somewhere along the line decides he has to pursue putting Norman behind bars, and then goes on to marry his mother? And Chick might even be more useless and unnecessary. When he was introduced, I thought perhaps he would become an nemesis for Dylan and Caleb; especially after what Caleb did to him. Not only does he not want revenge against Caleb, he prepares an extremely intimate and well thought out burial ceremony for him when Caleb dies. And moving in with Norman? That served no purpose whatsoever.

Ok-but to me they do serve a purpose in this story. You can have a series revolve around just a couple of people. But to make it a little more realistic it helps to have "side" people. Not everyone has to connect to the main story line. But it is just my opinion. Romero didn't give a crap, until Norma. And Norman took that away. Romero sees that whether he dies, Norman shouldn't get away with it. And Chick is a stand in for Robert Bloch, hence the novel.

Their roles are yet to be fulfilled. Perhaps we'll be treated to Romero taking a header down the stairs, ala Arbogast. And I believe when everything is over, Chick's papers will be found and will become Psycho.

sigh! characters that are interesting to one person might be as boring as fuck to someone else. the best thing to do is to give an example that proves your point.
I tried twice to watch this show but I just can't. however, in a broader stance, there is something said for character depth. that is where the side stories -- character arcs come into play. everyone alive is multi dimensional so it only makes sense for a character [even Data on Star Trek TNG] to have something going on other than work or whatever. It makes them human. It makes them relatable.
[this is something lacking in some shows today -- the middle for example]
