Rebecca Hopkins/Anthony Stephens
I recently created list of appearances pages for these two characters. Rebecca is currently regular and Anthony guest (I created one for Anthony as he appeared in 50+ eps). I think that Rebecca could possibly be demoted as she appeared from December 1999 - June 2000, before returning briefly in December. She also appeared in an ongoing storyline and never lived in the street. Anthony on the other hand maybe promoted as he appeared for a year (July 2000 - 2001), and also lived at No.12. Thoughts?

 * I think the sheer number of episodes they appeared, if for no other reason, in makes them regulars.--Jtomlin1uk 09:40, September 29, 2011 (UTC)
 * Fair enough, but then Frank Foster has surpassed both their episode counts and is still guest. There's also Dave Smith, but his appearances weren't all together. Maybe definitely regular if they hit 100 episodes (except people like Dave)? Notdoppler 19:37, September 29, 2011 (UTC)

I would move Anthony but I'd need to place him as credited! I still think that Rebecca should be guest as she played out in a similar fashion to how Frank Foster has (one storyline - although prolonged!). Notdoppler 18:47, October 4, 2011 (UTC)


 * For Anthony you can find the cast order on ITV Source. I agree about Rebecca being a guest. David 16:34, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I have moved Anthony in the episode pages for which a cast list is available on ITN, although I could only find a handful. However, there are none I can find on there with cast lists for episodes with Rebecca. Is there any way of accessing them easier, or are they just not on there? If so, how can I get hold of the source for the episode cast lists as the cast lists in question have clearly been filled in on this site? Notdoppler 17:42, October 6, 2011 (UTC)
 * I'm going to use the corrie.net recaps to make an "educated guess" on where they should be, or at least Rebecca for now. Notdoppler 18:01, October 6, 2011 (UTC)

Frank Foster
Has Frank Foster left yet? Is there any indication he's leaving in the next few weeks or is his storyline being dragged out? David 18:29, September 30, 2011 (UTC)
 * Based on this source, Frank definitely hasn't left.  Also, his future is uncertain and if he is still around in the New Year we should probably promote him to regular. By then he will have made 100+ appearances anyway. Notdoppler 23:47, October 1, 2011 (UTC)
 * Bear in mind that a problem in doing that is that you have to place him in the regular cast in the same position as he was credited on screen - we do prefer our cast credits to be in the original transmission order.--Jtomlin1uk 09:36, October 2, 2011 (UTC)
 * We can always use IMDB or for more accuracy the cast credits. But he may even be gone before that and still be deemed a guest! Notdoppler 09:40, October 2, 2011 (UTC)

Adam Barlow
I feel that Sam Robertson as Adam Barlow should remain regular, but Iain De Caestecker in the role should be guest because he appeared as Adam irregularly during his time in the role. Thoughts? Notdoppler 17:10, October 9, 2011 (UTC)
 * No, our usual convention is that once a regular, always a regular.--Jtomlin1uk 12:11, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * No I meant just one of the actors - i.e. Linus Roache as Peter Barlow is guest is he not? Notdoppler 14:42, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
 * My understanding is that the regular/guest status is applied to the character rather than a specific actor who is playing the role. Therefore, Adam Barlow would remain as regular cast. --Karen2310 17:53, October 11, 2011 (UTC)
