3. Dolores Abernathy

From helpless victim to ruthless antiheroine, Dolores has had quite the journey on the show. Although Westworld is an ensemble show first and foremost, Dolores is the closest thing to a main character, in Season Three especially.

Watching her suffer through all the horrors she experienced before she achieved consciousness was hard and you feel conflicted when she enacts her brutal revenge on humanity in Season Two. It's the actions of a villain but you can understand why she would do the things she does.

Evan Rachel Wood is exceptional in the part, as Dolores has cycled through several emotions over the three seasons and she has impeccable chemistry with every one she acts opposite. Her Season Three arc is substantial and her apparent demise leaves an odd feeling with the audience that makes it hard to judge the creative decision.

Whether Dolores comes back or not, in whatever form, Evan Rachel Wood solidified herself as not just a dramatic powerhouse but a capable and captivating action hero. The whole show converges around her in Season Three and she is a captivating lead character. If Dolores is gone as we knew her then she will be missed.
