Talk:List of Neighbours characters

Mischa

Since there seems to be a bit of an issue with Krista and Reece being regulars or not, I wanted to start a discussion here. The sources have started that Reece is a limited time role (or at least from what I saw in the ones about her introduction), so I do not know about her role in the credits. I think keeping Reece in recurring for now would be a good idea until a source says otherwise, but I thought I would open this up now to see what people think.

See the "Melanie and Reece" section above - the closing credits make a clear distinction between main and guest cast, and Barton remains credited as a guest. Krista is credited as part of the regular cast from her first appearance (I wonder if she might not be dead!). U-Mos (talk) 22:51, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Exactly. Krista is listed as a regular in the end credits and Reece is not. I was surprised by how much background scenes they included introducing Krista. I was less surprised when I saw she was credited as a regular and it became clear she may not have died. Then we saw Eden alone, having supposedly moved and disposed of her body in ten minutes from the top of Lassiters?!Rain the 1 23:24, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

Recurring cast

On the closing credits Abigail Tanaka And Isla Tanaka-Brennan are always listed separately from the main cast names and are always listed next to guest/recurring cast like Chelsea or Eden which would mean these 2 characters are recurring cast not main so they need to ideally be moved from main list to the recurring list of cast.

I've been merrily ignoring this for a while, but you're right and it's hard to figure what to do. Abi, Isla and Sam were for a time listed with the other (let's call them) semi-regular characters of Nell, Hugo, JJ and Dex, but that has changed as of late. Now they are placed below guest characters (e.g. the 4 April episode listed JJ [space], Chelsea, Felix [space], Abigail in that order). Generally we don't downgrade, but perhaps this is an exception?

And right after this was implemented, Nell and Hugo were credited below the guest cast in today's episode. I'll keep an eye out for consistency. U-Mos (talk) 12:44, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

I added Abigail, Isla and Sam back into the regular cast section because they still in the show's opening titles alongside the other regular characters, and are credited for the episodes that they appear in. They appear more regularly than permanent recurring characters such as Vera Punt, Katrina Marshall and Curtis Perkins, and are not in a guest capacity like Chelsea Murphy and Felix Rodwell for instance. They still have storylines that revolve around them, for example, Isla being kidnapped, Sam's job at Lassiters, and Abigail's upcoming storylines involving her hospitalization. And all three are still treated like regular characters in the show's promotional photos and social media posts. They should be kept in the regular characters section until they have a confirmed departure or downgrade.— Preceding unsigned comment added by Fluffycat345 (talk • contribs)

These aren't good reasons. The only valid reason for a character to be listed with the main cast is for them to be credited with the main cast (see the Mischa Barton discussions on this page). There are multiple blocks of cast credits, and no issue with the second of these (being clearly above guest cast) being categorised as main cast. The issue we have is the characters discussed here used to be credited in this section, and are now not. (Of course Nell and Hugo were consistently main characters for years before the revival, so wouldn't be downgraded anyway - Isla, Abigail and Sam are more uncertain; Isla in particular was credited with the main cast very briefly).
