I agree! Maybe I'm biased because I actually REALLY like Beckett, both as a character and a LI, but I doubt they'd make him a villain. Especially because I doubt they'd honestly go he "He was a jerk, then he redeemed himself and now we make him a villain, mwahahah SUCK IT" route. I just can't see it!

I think he gets more diamond scenes now because of two reasons. A) they wanna flesh out his character and show that he is no longer the jerk he was at the beginning and that he is sorry for how he acted and that he's actively trying to become a better person and all that and B) from a purely business perspective .. these scenes make them money. This isn't PB's first book, they KNOW what kind of character will be popular and therefore will make people wanna spend diamonds on them .. and (unfair or not) these characters will get more diamond scenes so people, you guessed it, can spend more diamonds and potential money on them. Which means more money for PB. I mean they are not dumb .. they know their audience and I'm willing to bet that Beckett IS the most popular LI of this books so they're just giving the people what they want so they can make money off it. Simple as that imho.
