I actually don't think they've done much with anyone's character development lately except for maybe Stiles.

Allison had a lot of character development over the first couple of seasons when she learned about her family's history, then embraced it hard before later rejecting it. She dealt with family loss, a relationship's complexities and the gaining of responsibility. However, not much was done with her this season.

Lydia has changed in our initial perception of shallow to someone that is pushing the fight vs those that seek to harm those she cares about. I expect much more about her in Season 4 and even little asides of her dealing with her mom teaching at the school.

I actually don't think Scott has gotten much character development this season either. He's constantly running from "fire" to "fire" to put them out but IMO he's shown nearly zero growth this season. That whole True Alpha thing has meant nothing. Because he hasn't shown growth, the whole Kira relationship thing seemed forced to me and didn't seem to come out of any growth of him as a person.

Stiles by far has shown the most this season with discusison of his mother's passing and his acceptance that they may have to kill him to prevent the Nogitsune from hurting anyone else. I think the writers have realized that Stiles is probably the most liked character and Dylan is probably the best actor on the show so have given him much more.

Hell, I feel like 3b reset Scott back to s1, between the New Girl crush, not trusting the twins (like he didn't trust Derek), and not embracing his powers.

As far as Allison's lack of development this season, well, they were killing her off, so that's expected. Especially seeing as they gave her the whole gamut of discovering werewolves and hunters, embracing the hunting, then rejecting it, all in s1 and s2.

Lydia had good development this season, and we've been told to expect more in s4.

Erica never really had time to be developed more than she was, but she had a decent back story built.

Derek hasn't gotten development so much as more screen time, and nuggets of mysterious info about his past ("you're a man of many languages Derek Hale") but they definitely seem to be setting him up for something important next season.

But yea, Stiles by far has the most development this season. Or, well, this half of this season.
