Don’t you ever wonder what happened again with all the characters which have come by in the many episodes that Gotham has had so far? Many of them were only present for an episode or two and that while some of them had so much potential to be more than ‘just’ an episode filler or a name mentioned a couple of times. But without further ado, here are a couple of characters that you might have forgot existed in season 3.

Valerie Vale (Ep. ‘Better to Reign in Hell…’)
Valerie arrives in Gotham City to uncover the activities of the Indian Hill facility after it got out that they did experiments on humans. Her and Gordon Gordon start to work together, but their trust in each other is not mutual and they betray each other a couple of times. However, when Valerie shows up at Gordon’s apartment and flirts with him, they kiss and it turns into something more. They start a relationship, but Gordon confronts Valerie about separating their work from their relationship, especially since she is so intent on getting to the bottom of the rumours surrounding Alice’s poisonous blood. Later, Jervis Tetch kidnaps both Valerie and Lee and Gordon has to make a choice. Gordon told Jervis to shoot Lee, but Jervis did the opposite and shot Valerie instead. Gordon and Lee rushed Valerie to the hospital, where Mario operated on her. Gordon visited Valerie in the emergency room and broke down at her state. Valerie awoke and made fun of Gordon’s crying and they shared a laugh before he left. He returned and she told Gordon she knew what he did – Gordon told Jervis to kill Lee because he knew that Valerie would get shot instead. She knew that Gordon still loved Lee, which meant that her relationship with Gordon was over. Assumingly she left Gotham and her current whereabouts are unknown.
