People DO change. You stop changing when you're dead.
I agree.
To some extent it might be a semantics argument. Do we call it "growth" rather than "change". Or is it "revealing" layers we didn't know we had before, or "reacting" in new ways, or whatever. But my feeling is if you would have handled something one way at some point, and now you handle it in another way, that is change.
I believe a lot of change is on the edges, and very subtle. Eventually though if you put it all together it adds up to real change. I once wrote a fic about House changing so subtlety that Wilson didn't even notice. Of course IMHO the show hasn't really done that nice subtle thing with most of the characters. Perhaps a bit with Chase.
