To replace Nathan, it was announced a new character called Rudy would be joining the show, with casting still ongoing.

[3] Misfits creator Howard Overman said he created Rudy as a "new funny man" to replace Sheehan, whose character Nathan previously held the role.

[7] MSN News described Rudy as "foul mouthed" adding he "seems to be a man with no interior monologue - he just says it all out loud".

On the two sides of Rudy's personality they stated: "Rudy's split personality manifests itself in the power to split into two versions of himself - one endlessly confident and cheery, the other depressed and consumed with self-pity, melancholy and, watch out Simon, unrequited love for Alisha".

This is witnessed by Kelly Bailey (Lauren Socha), Simon Bellamy (Iwan Rheon) and Curtis.

Rudy sets up Tanya for stealing the charity box from the community centre but after she is arrested, she escapes the police car.

Rudy kicks Tanya who falls over Charlie's body and cracks her head open on the floor, killing her.

[9] Rudy gives Curtis in his female form, who goes by the name of Melissa (Kehinde Fadipe), oral sex although he is unaware she has been given the date rape drug.

[12] An alternate timeline is created when a man travels to the past to try to kill Hitler, although he accidentally gives the Nazis an advantage and they win the war.

In the present day, Rudy along with Curtis and Kelly are trying to prevent the Nazis using Seth (Matthew McNulty) to steal their powers to gain more force.

[14] Michael (Nathaniel Martello-White) arrives at the community service and Rudy, Curtis and Seth are infected with his power of an infectious greed which makes those around him desperate to get his briefcase full of money.

While dying, he asks Jess to kiss him and get over her intimacy issues and in return, he will release the two other Rudys from his body.

[10] Rudy later finds out that his friend Curtis, who subsequently is also the final member of the original ASBO Five, has become a zombie and therefore decides that he must kill him.

After saving her, however, it becomes apparent why the Nuns left her imprisoned as her power is unleashed after she witnessed several sinful and disturbing acts committed by the new Misfits including violence and casual sex.

Her power releases the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse as they attempt to slay everyone present, effectively injuring Alex, Jess's lover.

Nadine sacrifices herself after Rudy and Finn confirm they'd willingly die to protect her and the Four Horsemen disappear.

[18] MSN News felt Rudy was a "perfect replacement for gobby, irritating Nathan in the group dynamic".

She felt that Rudy "fulfills the role of the childish, sex-obsessed member of the group and has an endless stream of filth which he shares with the others much to their chagrin and disgust".

He was a real success last year, although some fans persisted in comparing him unfavourably to the recently departed Nathan.

[22] Debnath felt that a storyline involving Rudy flirting with Alley was "the more amusing thread in this episode".

[23] SFX journalist Jordan Farley felt that during the second episode of series four Rudy is not "on the best form (though he has his moments, of course)" but that he is "on hand for a bit of split personality fun".

[24] Claire Crick of Radio Times said it is still Gilgun as Rudy "who gets the lewdest, crudest gags and all the best lines".

[25] Crick felt that when Gilgun is "on screen it’s difficult to take your eyes off him – so mesmerising is he as split-personality superhero Rudy.

[26] The Metro's Keith Watson felt that Gilgun "acts up a storm as, not content with splitting his personality in two, he now has a third alter ego to contend with – and the latest one is the most demented of the wackjob bunch.
