What happened to Eomer???? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

I remember the words, from many a year ago, of one Barrowdowner (might have been Bethberry) about how Tolkien seemed to have lost interest in Gimli & Legolas as his book progressed; and that he seemed to prefer the newer characters—Éomer & Faramir. Peter Jackson, understandably, preferred to keep Gimli & Legolas as Aragorn's main sidekicks for all three films.
