Actually in his Series Four episodes, he does quite a good job on sharing
out the action; in Traitor, Tarrant/Dayna are in the spotlight, while in Orbit it is Avon/Vila. Only Soolin gets neglected, presumably because she was something of an afterthought (didn't they originally want to retain Cally, but Jan C didn't want to continue?) and there wasn't much for RH to go on with her.<
IMO Soolin got neglected because in a crew of five there wasn't anyone left he could pair her with. Holmes seemed to think in pairs: Blake-Jenna, Avon-Vila, Tarrant-Dayna. In "Killer" Cally falls victim to this and I suspect that in "Gambit" she gets to accompany Blake and Jenna solely because Avon and Vila need to remain alone on Liberator and Holmes didn't know what else to do with her. :-)
