![Recap: 'Big Love' - 'The Mighty and Strong'](https://web.archive.org/web/20100201093529im_/http://images.hitfix.com/photos/307951/biglove_ginnifergoodwin_article_story_main.jpg)
Ginnifer Goodwin of 'Big Love'
In its long run, "Big Love" has never defined Margene Heffman as handily or specifically as it has Barb Henrickson or Nicki Grant. Both Barb and Nicki are wonderfully complex characters who can't be easily pinned down, but both have had their complexities plumbed and examined by the series. Margie has always played around the edges of the show. She's the youngest wife, the one who most obviously turned to Bill because she just needed somewhere to belong. She's the one who's often able to build bridges between the different family members. And Ben has a crush on her. We know other things about her, obviously (like the fact that she has a sometimes alluded to dark past), but the writers have chosen to keep Margie mostly in the background throughout the series.
