Katie Lloyd

Shouldn't Katie Lloyd have a section here? The character was a large part of the last two seasons.N9jig (talk) 10:17, 13 April 2017 (UTC)Reply


Jeffrey Coho as a main character

edit

Until an episode is actually aired to show otherwise, I think it would be prudent to leave him in the main characters section. On more than one occasion characters have "left" their position on a show only to either return within a couple episodes or remain just as prevalent in a different role. If you need a good example, consult NCIS (TV series). The character Leroy Jethro Gibbs "left" the show in a season finale, only to show up as a character in the season premier and return to his position within NCIS within 3 or 4 episodes.--Oni Ookami AlfadorTalk|@ 05:08, 14 February 2007 (UTC)Reply

I believe that the definition of a main character corresponds with the opening credits, does it not? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 22:49, 6 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Carl Sack

edit

It is rather odd that Carl Sack is not listed anywhere in this page. I added him to the main characters section. --144.36.234.233 (talk) 06:17, 11 February 2010 (UTC)Reply

Auberjonois

edit

He was not in the main credits of the first season, how come he appears as "main" in the table? Hearfourmewesique (talk) 16:32, 6 May 2012 (UTC)Reply

Notable versus Recurring

edit

There seems to be many "Notable" actors in this series who could be acknowledged even though they are not "Recurring," but this article lumps Notable & Recurring into the same heading. The implied suggestions is that one should not add any new "Notable" actors unless they are also "Recurring." My question is, shouldn't there be Separate Section Headings to List the Notables by themselves? I guess I'm suggesting a "Notable actors" Two-Column list similar to The Practice where you just have the Actor's name/link followed by their Character name, to simplify the list. If they are also Recurring, this article could keep the existing Prose in a "Recurring"-only heading, to summarize the Character's Role & Story-Arc. In any case, I added Heather Locklear to the current list. I'm not going to follow up on separate headings myself, it's just my 2¢ for any others who might want to take that on themselves.

OK, I did a follow-up anyway... there were just too many good actors to ignore listing them. I therefore added a Sub-Heading, "Other notable actors", as a 2-col list (including 16 actors I noticed in my binge-watch so far), mainly to list 1-Episode appearances. It may also have others who appear in more than one episode, but have the same character role (e.g., Jeri Ryan), just to simplify it. If anyone wants to pull out the multi-episode Actors from the 2-col list to put them above with Prose describing their Character & Story-Arc, feel free. GreyElfGT (talk) 00:39, 29 July 2024 (UTC)Reply
