* TheWoobie: Watch. In the books, his parents are spread out and he states he did not have an easy childhood. He often feels lonely as a result, even with his friends. In the show, he feels like an outcast due to how awkward he can be and his dad died sometime ago.

* CompleteMonster: [[WickedWitch Madeline Templeton]], [[AdaptationalVillainy far worse than in the books]], was originally a witch who was going to be burned at the stake but escaped her fate via the Raven's Eye. Her only living descendant is Ann Templeton, who is really a slave of her supposed [[TheDragon dragon]] Moorpark, who in turn works for Madeline, and makes Ann do various villainous deeds, such as afflicting Adam's friend Sally with a curse that nearly kills her. In "The Dark Corner", Ann tries to use a spell to reunite Adam with Laurel, his MissingMom. The spell takes them to a ParallelUniverse where Madeline rules and has ruined most of the world with a ZombieApocalypse. The gang manages to rescue Laurel, but she remembers little about how she got stuck there. In one episode, we find out a crazy homeless guy who calls himself "The Mayor" really was the Mayor, until Madeline used a spell to [[DrivenToMadness drive him insane]]. At the end, we find out Madeline has survived so long by [[ImmortalityImmorality transferring her spirit into her descendants, which basically erases their personality and makes them a copy of her]], and that all the evil things Ann did were either under duress or an attempt to avoid getting possessed herself. We also find out that Madeline either somehow possessed Laurel or is her in disguise.

** While the cat turns out to be evil, it is still weirdly sweet to see Sally being so nice to another creature in ''The Wicked Cat''. She even says she likes having something to love.
** From the episode of ''The No-Ones'', Watch's mom saying she likes him the way he is, and he doesn't need to apologize for being himself.
** From ''Fathers and Sons'', Duggan putting his life at at risk to save Watch.
** In ''The Witch's Revenge'', Watch says he wants Ann to heal his eyesight, and Sally tells him he's fine the way he is and apologizes for an earlier rude comment she made about his poor eyesight. At the end, [[spoiler: Ann heals his eyes but tells him he looks better with his glasses on. Sally says that for once, she agrees with Ann.]]

** The TV episode ''The No-Ones'' having Watch [[spoiler: pretending to side with villains who want to turn humans into something else, making Adam and Sally think they have been betrayed]] arguably makes it a better adaptation of ''Phone Fear'' than the episode they [[InNameOnly named after it later on]].
