Homeland TV Wiki

A recurring character is a fictional character, usually in a prime time TV series, who frequently appears from time to time during the series' run. Recurring characters often play major roles in more than one episode, sometimes being the main focus.

Overview[]

A character that does not appear in every episode, but is in enough of them to affect the storyline on a regular basis. Sometimes called a "semi-regular" character to contrast with the regular characters.

A Living Prop or Spear Carrier who appears repeatedly may become a Recurring Character.

A character that starts out as a recurring character but eventually joins the main cast is a case of them getting a Promotion to Opening Titles. If this promotion happens mainly because of fan popularity, then you've got yourself a Breakout Character. Conversely, for a character who starts out as a regular but becomes recurring over time, see Commuting on a Bus. Finally, if they appear in so many episodes that they get more appearances than even some of the show's regular characters, yet the credits insist on only giving them guest billing, then they're a Fake Guest Star.
