"A script is never finished, it is abandoned." Millard Kaufman

So true. That's why all directors will tell you that they are heart broken by their movies. It is never as good as you want. Do the best you can with what you have. You'll have more at-bats.

The character Rebecca Bloomwood is drowning in debt and just cannot control her shopping impulse. This character flaw made Rebecca relatable and memorable. Similarly, you can create characters that have weaknesses and flaws so that they have more depth and seem more realistic to the audience.
