Seen this on another site.
At times, a very good character on a TV show wasn't there from the beginning. I'm excluding characters just brought in for one season or a single story arc. Think Phil Leotardo from The Sopranos or Frank Sobotka from The Wire. A few examples...
Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer
Norman Buntz from Hill Street Blues
Ben Linus for Lost (it was good then)
Gustavo Fring and Saul Goodman from Breaking Bad
Marlo Stansfield from the Wire

Ensign Ro Laren in ST-The NG.
Ro Laren has placed in several polls featuring the characters of the franchise over the course of several years. In a list of the strongest female characters on the official Star Trek website by Jordan Hoffman in 2012, Ro Laren was placed second behind Edith Keeler from the Star Trek: The Original Series episode "The City on the Edge of Forever". He said that Ro was one of the "richest figures in Trek", and wished to be able to see an alternative timeline where Forbes had accepted the main cast position on Deep Space Nine.[46] A poll at the Creation Entertainment official Star Trek convention in 2013, conducted by Hoffman, placed Ro Laren as the fifth most popular recurring character among fans, behind Elim Garak, Q, Gul Dukat and General Martok.

First thought was Marlo in The Wire but it was already said. Also agree with Andy/Office.
Fawkes - The Guild
Zorro - Meerkat Manor
Miles - Living with Yourself
Ruth - Doc Martin

Newman in SEINFELD immediately comes to mind. He was always listed as a guest actor, but he was essentially the 5th main cast member. Also Desmond Hume and Daniel Faraday. |

I assumed Garak from Deep Space Nine came into the show later but only after the second episode of the first season?
