This is a really good point. I guess, to me, the buildup to Haley's death made more dramatic sense, as there was a longer arc and she had reasons of her own to exist, whereas I felt with Maeve it was more clearly to me just creating a character and killing her for the sake of wounding Reid. I think I initially objected to her as a disposable character. But she did get a reasonable amount of screentime for someone like that - maybe not ep for ep with Haley, but maybe enough to establish herself independently. So I will reconsider in that light - thanks for the thought!
