Amanda

Okay so can we discuss the whole including or excluding Amanda Grayson thing before it becomes a full-blown edit war?

If the rationale for including her is that she's a legacy character then we should include Scotty as well, since he appeared as a disembodied voice in the season 1 finale. However since the table specifically just says "special guests" then i think we should keep it confined to characters credited as a special guest star. Either that or just bring back the entire long list of guest stars. Goweegie2 (talk) 04:24, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

All legacy character are included in all Star trek series character list (example - List of Star Trek: Picard characters).

Scotty must be included too, he appeared in s2 finale too. Lado85 (talk) 08:46, 10 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

A bit late to this thread but I have just updated the list to reflect the full credits for each season, so both Amanda and Scotty are now listed appropriately. - adamstom97 (talk) 16:29, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hemmer is a recurring character

I'm going to broach this subject here and allow some time for discussion before making the actual edits.

Bruce Horak was not a series regular in season 1; he was a guest star. I have two pieces of supporting evidence:

1. He was only credited in the episodes in which he appeared; series regulars are credited in every episode of the respective season (e.g. Denise Crosby was credited throughout season 1 even after Tasha died).

2. He was credited out of order. The secondary cast is listed in alphabetical order (Bush, Chong, Gooding, Navia, Olusanmokun). If Horak were a series regular, he'd be placed between Gooding and Navia. Instead, he appears after Olusanmokun and before Romijn's "and".

As such, I propose Hemmer be moved from Main Characters to Recurring Characters and all appropriate revisions be made. I'll make these changes 30 days from now if no one objects. Zelani (talk) 14:10, 30 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Not sure what happened with this plan, but Hemmer is a main character / series regular in the first season and should not be moved to the recurring section. - adamstom97 (talk) 16:30, 24 June 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Season 4

@Lado85: The cast details for S4 that I added to the table are all sourced at the S4 article. If you think it is necessary, we can add the sources from that article to this table until the season comes out. Doesn't change that they are all already sourced. - adamstom97 (talk) 17:42, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Source does not specifies number of episodes for guests. They can be listed as guests (1-2 episodes) or as recurring (3 or more episodes). That's why we can add them to table now. Lado85 (talk) 17:48, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As is standard, they are all listed as guests until we get confirmation that they are recurring. We don't leave them out altogether. Again, see the season 4 page. - adamstom97 (talk) 17:51, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

They all are listed as guest in episodes credits. Here we list them as recurring for 3 or more episodes appereance. It only confirmed that they will appear in season. Lado85 (talk) 18:17, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, and until we know whether they are recurring or not we list them as guest. I don't understand what your issue is with that. - adamstom97 (talk) 18:29, 20 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
