Will season 6 bring classic and better characters?

Gene Vagina was one of the compelling and memorable characters of the show. It would be better if makers brought characters like her back. Jessica also proved her worth. However, the audience is expecting the lesser-known characters to come back again. It would also be good to see them participating in important events. So hopefully, they will not be left out of the show.
