I don't think it's that difficult. Just take a look at the characters who have been in the most episodes over the course of the series (Tyrion, Cersei, Jaime, Dany, Arya, Sansa, Bran, Jon Snow, Samwell, Theon). They also tend to be the ones who receive the most screen time, although there are sometimes exceptions as you note (which likely have to do with the source material not having a lot on them for a particular season, like Jaime in S2).

I haven't seen a ton of character development out of these people. Maybe it's coming. But it's certainly not anywhere near the extent of Jaime, Dan, or Tyrion. I mean, unless you count Reek. But if you wanted some real character development, you would have had him slit that idiot's throat while shaving him. That would have made the storyline seem worthwhile, but for now, it is rather boring. Maybe that's because I haven't read the books and don't know how it all ties together, but it seems largely irrelevant right now.

Nobody is really going to match those major transformations, but Sansa, Bran, Theon, and Samwell have changed significantly from what they were when we first met them. Perhaps Davos hasn't yet, but he's still a pretty interesting character to me (far more than than perpetually grumpy Stannis anyway).
