It would have been awesome had they kept Schanke. He was such a great counterpart to Nick and much more than just comic relief. Just to add a bit to the "how it could have gone": Vachon was on that plane too, right? And maybe he was seated near Schanke and Cohen and well, he had to get back to health after the crash, so he needed blood. Maybe Schanke wanted to defend himself and just bit back and ended up becoming a vampire on accident? I think there's potential for serious stuff, crack and "Major Canon Divergence on the bridge!" definitely something I'll want to explore.
