Number of Tables

Maintaining this article (which has so far not involved me) appears to be a major enterprise, especially given the tendency for the show's producers to pop characters in and out on a regular basis. Not much more than a year old, the article is contsantly changing as entries are moved from one category to another routinely, causing confusion as different editors come in on top of erroneous/malicious edits. This creates the ideal environment for idiots like our persistent "Billy Walker" vandal to bury his/her edits - in January one stood uncontested for 9 days, which will have pleased him no end and encouraged him to stick around. Furthermore, the Garveys currently have the distinction of being in two categories at once as we fall over ourselves trying to announce stuff that hasn't even been filmed yet, let alone broadcast. Surely the time-line of the fictional universe is determined by first airing, and events, however expected they may be, happen when they're televised.

Does anyone else feel that reporting the future, howsoever sourced, is not part of Wikipedia's job? Especially since it can only be the future for so long and then needs re-writing to make sense. Does anyone else feel that the casting on this show is such that the distinction between past and present characters is somewhat hazy? Does anyone else feel that the article would benefit from reducing to just two lists - regular cast and guest stars?

Recurring characters

Is there a way to tell who is recurring and who is main? As I've moved Monty from returning characters but moved to main, and now i'm wondering is he classed as a main character or guest/recurring? Rhysy54 (talk) 20:53, 26 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

It could be argued that (from series 3 onwards, at least) the main characters are those who appear in the opening titles; and on the closing credits the guest/recurring characters tend to be listed separately after the main characters. 31.185.183.26 (talk) 21:04, 29 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
