Should David Trueheart have become Gold Ranger?

Thanks, fixed. Meant no disrespect to Erik.

I'm surprised they made him such a big deal and never did anything with the character again. I thought for sure he was gonna be a Ranger.

Perhaps there were more plans for the character. But I doubt he was ever supposed to be a Ranger.

I don't really think just being Tommy's brother would have been a good enough characterization for a Ranger. The Gold Ranger plot was much better with Jason and Trey.

Agreed, the whole storyline was about Tommy. David wasn't really supposed to become a major character.

Sorry can't accept that. They spend several episodes building to the Tommy Arrowhead Storyline. And then they gave us his brother and resolution to the plot. But the whole thing ended up being a waste as David is barely seen again and the arrowhead is never mentioned.

I am going to say no. David was just a one off guest star who had a small role in another episode. I don't see the character getting very far.
