Bobby Briggs is one of the most divisive characters in the Twin Peaks original series. Bobby's character development is a testament to the show, and part of the well-written web of characters in the series. This is the aspect Dana Ashbrook says he enjoyed the most as opposed to the overarching mystery (per Welcome To Twin Peaks). Whether hes causing trouble around town with Mike Nelson, crying on Dr Jacobys therapy couch, planting cocaine in James motorbike engine, or promising Shelly he will take care of everything, Bobbys multifaceted character is among the most enjoyable to watch.
