The Dresden Files > DF Spoilers
Is there any character who didn't show up in PT that you'd like to see in BG?
ClintACK:
Yep. So I'd be surprised if we see Rashid at all in Battle Ground, unless there's an "aftermath" meeting of the White Council at the end of it, where Rashid shows up late to give us one of his special "How do you vote?" "With deliberation." moments.
Direwolf513:
I'm always up for more screen time for the Gatekeeper.
It'd be neat to see how big Toot-Toot has gotten by now.
Regarding the Genoskwa, I hate the thought of him being alive. Harry beat him, fair and square, and to go from flattened into two dimensions to alive and well really does seem like cheating.

It does seem really weird, but IMO that's more because of the Hades' vault aspect.
Actually surviving being squished is pretty extreme, but not unprecedented in the series. Any Immortal could do that, but that's arguably not really comparable. Nicodemus could certainly do it. The "uber-ghouls" from WN might well be able to; I don't think any of them were actually confirmed to be killed by anything.

It doesn't make sense to think it was just an illusion that got splattered, because if the genoskwa was still active at that point, he could have easily killed Harry and gotten all five weapons for the win. So something hinky is going on, but we don't have enough information to narrow it down. (Do all Denarians regenerate even from goo if you don't take the coin?

I don't think all Denarians do, because Kincaid, Harry, and Luccio killed some in SmF and the coins seemed to be "seeking a new owner" afterward.
But given the strength of "life aura" Forest People are shown to have in the Bigfoot stories, regenerating from goo doesn't seem that implausible of an upgrade from what Tessa has been shown to do (when Harry blasts through her with a spell and she survives by dissolving into a swarm of bugs and re-forming).

I suppose I meant cheating from a writing standpoint. I'm willing to suspend disbelief to allow for damned near anything in the books as long as there's some framework for it that makes sense - the "fact" of him regenerating, I can deal with. But bringing back the character seems pointless. He wasn't that interesting a character in Skin Game and Harry and Goodman Grey won a pretty decisive victory over him ("splat" is pretty definitive). Having him pop back up just seems kind of lazy to me. I suspect we're going to get a Harry and River Shoulders vs. Genoskwa throw-down which isn't something we needed. Meh.
