Yeah, I do too. As you mentioned, even way back in the very first episode, Nick took notice of Adalind (and yes, even *before* she ‘woged’). Honestly, that shot of her was the part which stood out to me the most when watching the trailer for the show. I thought, “Who is that?”.
I agree that she had bad stuff happen to her, which at least partially explained some of her actions later on (though I don’t think she was exactly ‘blameless’ either, it’s just that I could see things from her point of view and therefore understood why she did...what she did). Way back when Nick took Adalind’s ‘Hexenbiest’ from her, to me it felt a bit iffy/sort of like a ‘violation’ of her in a way. Especially with how she reacted to it after it had happened. Yes, I get he was fighting her and it was the only way to weaken her, but I always remember how she reacted to that event, so when she later slept with Nick in Juliette’s form and took away his ‘Grimmness’...I always saw that as Adalind (in her mind) getting Nick ‘back’ for what he’d done to her in the past (not to mention the baby thievery - though, yes, I do get that they did that for the child’s safety/well-being...but still, I could understand Adalind’s anger).
I do think Claire Coffee has a more interesting chemistry with David Giuntoli than Bitsie Tulloch does. We just started Season 5 on TV here last week (yes, we’re WAY behind with the show where I am), and just in the brief scene/s Adalind shared with Nick, I got more from them than I ever really did from Nick and Juliette (though I never ‘hated’ her character as such - at least not until the end of Season 4 anyway - I just always found Adalind so much more interesting/intriguing).
I have spoiled myself somewhat and know that Nick and Adalind more or less do get together - though I don't know the details. Every season I’ve held out hope that Adalind’s character would survive (despite the haters wanting her gone). I’m glad she has survived this long. I just hope she makes it to the series final (which I likely won’t be seeing for another year or so where I am) and survives that as well. Personally, I think that such a great character (with the awesome name of Adalind Schade, played by an actress with the equally awesome name of Claire Coffee) deserves to survive the series, since she was the main reason I watched after all.
