Oh, Cabana Boy!
Yes, mostly everyone wants to see Murray and Stan return.
However, I'd love to see some random people from previous games make appearances as well. I'd like to see some other minor characters though, such as Largo, Kate, Kenny, and even the Cabana Boy.
Who would you most like to see?

Maybe Telltale can squeeze in one more guy. Maybe. We can hope.
Stan is also a one-joke character, but it's almost as if being one joke is his joke. When playing a Monkey Island game, I can never wait for Stan to turn up and be doing the exact same routine as he does in the other games: you always know he's going to appear, and you always know he's going to be selling something stupid.
Murray doesn't have that: he was one of the best things about Curse of Monkey Island, but please, leave the classics alone. We don't want Monkey Island to turn into catchphrase spewing rubbish like Little Britain.
Yeh it would be good to see Governor Phatt again since the only time we've seen him was when he was being fed "stuff" through them tubes but then again I guess he is so fat that the only way we are guna see him is if they have him on a bed with wheels
And I never even thought of the Men of Low Moral Fiber. Hope they make a return
I thought one of the few weak points of LeChuck's Revenge was how they built up Phatt Island to be some awesome totalitarian dictatorship, but in the end all we got was being arrested once before it turned into a pleasant wharf with a library and gambling, with the only other notable place being Rum Rogers' cottage. Not that I didn't like Phatt, I just felt they never milked the idea of an island with a corrupt governor to its full potential. I'd really like Telltale to revisit it, actually.
"You're annoying. But hey, so am I!"
If anything, I didn't think that he was annoying enough in the later games. I didn't like how in Curse he just lets you walk around his office without so much as looking at you until you approach him. In the first two games he's constantly pestering you, won't let you walk around in his shipyard/shop, barely lets you speak and taps his foot impatiently when he does, and doesn't even let you leave the conversation without great difficulty. Hell, the whole purpose of his appearance in MI2 is to be so annoying that you have to lock him in a bloody coffin to shut him up.
So Stan, Wally and Murray are okay (allthough Murray was just later added), but none other... so no cabana boy, no Kenny, no LeChimp, no Palido Domingo, no Blondebeard, no barbershop trio or NO GHOST GAZILLIONAIRE OZZIE MANDRILL...
The Welshman would be kinda funny to see again, but only a VERY small part... no more than one small line and maybe even just a small visual part.
We have enough recurring characters, though. Guybrush, Elaine, LeChuck (who Escape could actually have done without), the Voodoo Lady and Stan are enough. If people are determined to add Murray, then yeah, okay, but that makes even more characters we're obliged to have every game. I'd actually far prefer to have one-game characters make reappearances than to have Murray turn up and do his "MWAHAHAHAHAHA I'M EVIL... *insert considerably less evil comment here*" routine again.
Maybe that taught him a lesson and caused the attitude change.
PLEASE LECHIMP?! Puhlease?
Stan doesn't just appear in more than one game, he appears in every game. When you get to four games and you know this bloke's going to turn up at some point, it becomes one of the staples of the series. I never said he was a main character, but that doesn't make him any less important to the series.
Wally was a great character I agree, I really liked his return too, one of Curse's funniest moments. Lemonhead not so much, I thought he was an odd choice to bring back, particularly when the other two cannibals were more interesting. In Secret they had this edge, like they were trying to be on a diet but could snap back any minute. In Curse he's just a frightful bore who moans on about theme park noise and rehashes the same "Cannibals stop eating humans" joke. The volcano god was funny, but when I'm talking to Lemonhead in Curse I tend to get bored and start wishing I was back in the Goodsoup Hotel, walking around the crypts or gambling on Skull.
So if Murray wasn't in EMI he'd not be ok? If Kenny was in EMI he'd be ok? I think using EMI as the basis for who can be in future games is kind of silly. What about Carla, Otis, and Meathook...they were in two games like Murray. Would they be ok? Would Governor Marley/Herman be ok? Where do we draw the line?
There's nothing against returning a character if it actually makes sense for them to return and not just unneeded fan service.
Poor guy is still probably stuck on the Roller Coaster of the Damned...
Some of those more memorable minor characters could come back in a small way, more like a cameo or something. I think it would be alot of fun to see some of those characters at least make a small appearance. Telltale just has to find a good balance between returning/nostalgia characters and new and fresh characters.
A agree with some of the earlier posts, please no ozzie mandril or lechimp!
No I actually don't think murray is that okay to be added... that's why my comment is between brackets.
Murray was fun in Curse, but his appearance in 4 was useless.
I hope he will be properly used in Tales.
Currently if he made an appearance it would make to little to no sense since he'd only be in costume at the theme park. Stan and Murray have already established themselves as "random" characters that can appear anywhere but no other characters should have that luxury or it gets real old.
That said, Dinghy Dog was awesome.
