This 100%. To me it feels like BD gets bored of his characters because he doesn't flesh them out and just adds more after the initial thrill of a new character has worn off and tries to square peg them into the story to justify their existence. Had he limited to cast like he SHOULD have most of his problems wouldn't be there. One of the stupidest moments of this for example is the whole Stacy debacle. Stacy started out as the MCs long lost sister, oh but wait, never mind actually she's not, that's this other background character that was initially just a bitch to Jaime for no reason SHE's the actual long lost sister!
Ok, so now who is Stacy and why does she and the MC feel such a strong connection to each other that they thought they were siblings? Oh shit. There ISN'T a sensible reason? oh wait, uh, Stacy is actually MCs long lost childhood best friend! That's why! All cleaned up! See how stupid that sounds?
