I just happened upon this thread and as we re-watch into S4 I have been thinking more and more about Fiona. For me, Fiona is a friend. While I agree that the main reason for her being there at all was Adam, I thought she brought an original female dynamic to the team - something in between Zoe and Ros - and an interpersonal plot line that was worth exploring and well executed.
I have lived a similar kind of high intensity relationship for the first 10 years of my married life so I can relate to the Adam/Fiona dynamic. While admittedly not nearly as dangerous, working and living in each other back pockets with no real home creates a intense and different kind of relationship. The adjustment came when that life stopped.
I have also kind of felt that Fiona was a work in progress that was interrupted. She felt a bit like an unfinished novel that had to be wrapped up quickly and plausibly. I have always wondered if the producers/writers knew where the Fiona plot was going to go from her introduction - they do hint at it early on - or if it went the way it did out of the necessity of OS's personal life at the time?

i agree to a certain extent that she was unfinished, perhaps because she didnt have closure from her life before adam. she does mention it was a mistake to have wes because of the job they did. but i think she wa brought in as you say to show a different side to adam. they were both so alike yet so different

That is a really good point, Kazters. She came in with a lot of unfinished business and personal baggage and it all eventually took her down before she could really address them. Tragic, really.

it really is, but then i think there is something tragic and flawed about all the charactors in spooks!

I like Fiona because she's got this smooth way of dealing with things, she's also there so we can see another side of Adam. I think she was a good move for the show.

I agree with picard... She wasn't one of my favourite characters, but I didn't *hate* her.
