** The Seer was only on for ten episodes and yet nearly everyone loved her. Mostly because she was always snarky, awesome and [[EvilIsSexy deliciously evil]] but partly because she had more chemistry with Cole AND the [[LesYay sisters]] than any of the proper pairings were supposed to have.

** Alzheimers patient Howard Buss only makes scattered appearances across the first two seasons, but the way his tenure as mayor (where he proves to be a refreshing ReasonableAuthorityFigure in comparison to his predecessors) and struggle with Alzheimer's combine remarkably touching pathos and the occasional comedic moment make him a fan favorite.
** K.C. "The Snake Lady" Barrett, a python-draped FemmeFatale, only appears in one episode, [[spoiler:at the end of which she is PutOnAPrisonBus]], but is one of the more iconic EccentricTownsfolk.

** Deputy Marnes is an enormously popular supporting character due to his BruiserWithASoftCenter moments, how he is a good {{Foil}} to both Holston and Juliette, and how he is played by Creator/WillPatton.
** Easygoing FriendOnTheForce Hank and highly dependable (both as a friend and an engineer) WrenchWench Shirley are probably the best-liked of the lower levels-dwelling secondary characters.

** Out of the child characters, Michael Lee is probably the only one with a significant fandom, thanks to a combination of his warm-hearted personality, [[TheWoobie tragic childhood]] and signs of genuine badassery. His [[KickTheSonOfABitch pounding the shit out of]] [[TakeThatScrappy Kenard]] didn't hurt, either.

* ''Series/PeakyBlinders'' has Alfie Solomons, the head of a [[KosherNostra Jewish crime syndicate in London]]. He first appeared in season two and has less than an hour of total screen time over six seasons. And yet he's one of the most popular characters on the show. This is in no small part thanks to Tom Hardy playing the character with chaotic aplomb, which perfectly complements the quiet intensity that Cillian Murphy brings to the lead character [[TheDon Thomas Shelby]] when the two are onscreen together.

* ''Series/TheLastManOnEarth'':
** Seafaring CrazySurvivalist Pat, GildedCage bunker survivor Pamela, and imprisoned ReluctantMonster Karl all have their antagonistic moments and their combined number of episodes aren’t enough to fill a season, but all are seen as delightfully colorful and able to rival or surpass the main cast in entertainment value.
** Martinez, the prison guard played by Creator/GeoffreyRivas, only appears in one WholeEpisodeFlashback, but makes a good impression for being a warm-hearted but pragmatic ReasonableAuthorityFigure who treats the only other survivor at his prison (SerialKiller Karl) nicely but is ProperlyParanoid about the dangers of letting a murderer out into the world.

** Brother Mouzone, for much the same reasons as Omar. Appeared in six episodes of the whole series, but his popularity rivaled some of the regular characters. And then taken up to eleven when he first [[CoolVsAwesome fought Omar]] and then [[EnemyMine teamed]] [[DreamTeam up]] with him to [[spoiler: take revenge on Stringer]].

* ''Series/TheMentalist'':
** Walter Mashburn, the bored billionaire with an interest in Lisbon, is only in two episodes but is a major scene stealer who is almost unaminously praised and who a lot of fans vainly hoped to see play big roles in the Volker and/or Red John arcs.
** The combined episodes featuring [=LaRoche=], Hightower, and Wainwright don't even add up to 1/4th of the show's episodes, and none of the three ever warrant main billing. However, the characters are all very well-liked by the fanbase by the end of their runs on the show, rivaling several of the more prominent characters in popularity. Put it down to all three of them getting some decent HiddenDepths and/or CharacterDevelopment and [=LaRoche=] being a TheComicallySerious ByTheBookCop, Hightower having some ActionMom and PragmaticHero tendencies, and Wainwright being a SharpDressedMan who is one of the few bosses to actually punish Jane when he really crosses the line.
** Patrick's old carnie friend Pete Barsocky is only in three episodes, but is very popular for being a humorous GentleGiant played by [[Creator/McGainey [=MC=] Gainey]].

* For ''Series/LockwoodAndCo2023'', there's a contingent of the fanbase who wants to see more of Lucy's best friend Norrie White, who is ghost-locked in the premiere episode and is said to be in a coma from which she will likely never awake. Following this, Lucy occasionally looks at photographs of her and records messages to her. Given that she isn't actually dead, it's not outside of the realm of possibility that she could recover and be seen again.

** Eugene spends most of the season in a coma and overall doesn't get much screentime or development, but is quite popular with fans, mainly due to his cute friendship with Wednesday, hopeless crush on Enid, and overall {{adorkable}} nature.

* ''Series/{{Jeremiah}}'': Several one-time characters are quite well-liked and fondly remembered.
** Claire, the poetical woman who wants to sail to Europe and see if anything is left there in "To Sail Beyond the Stars."
** Eddie, the KnowledgeBroker who collects $100 bills, and his contact William (a witness to the Burners' atrocities).
** The three main kids at the colony in "Red Kiss," due to their strange but earnest beliefs and BadassAdorable moments in the climax.
** Edgar, the young man from "Out of the Ashes," who is protecting a library from book burners despite being unable to read.
** Michelle from "Mother of Invention," due to being a no-nonsense faction leader who nonetheless has some interesting chemistry and history with Jeremiah and [[HiddenDepths has a surprising passion for old artwork.]]
** Wylie, The BunnyEarsLawyer ConspiracyTheorist from "Things Left Unsaid Part II," who sheds light on all of the seasons' unexplained mysteries in a dynamic, methodical, and engaging fashion that provides a lot of help for the heroes.

* ''ComicBook/{{Darna}}'': For a supporting character who hasn't even had his backstory revealed much at all, Ali from the 2022 version is surprisingly popular. He's even earned a popular FanNickname, "Ali Best Boy". Many fans latched onto him being one of the few characters who puts Regina's well being first and formost, along with being the one of the few recurring male characters who has a purpose beyond being a love interest (though he does have feelings for Regina, it's not often focused on). It helps that his actor Mark Manicad has considerable natural charisma despite not being as well known as his co-stars.
