I agree with those who say that purely archival footage or still photographs should not count as "appearances." It's just wildly misleading to say that Susan Foreman has an appearance in [[The Day of the Doctor (TV story)|The Day of the Doctor]] just because there's a still photograph of her in the UNIT archives that you can catch if you pause at just the right moment. What's to be done, btw, about "appearances" where an actor returns, but is not actually playing the character. For instance, Caroline John has a cameo in The Five Doctors, but she's playing some sort of illusion made to look like Liz Shaw, not the actual Liz Shaw. Or Billie Piper in Day of the Doctor isn't actually playing Rose, just the Moment making itself look like Rose.

I agree with those who say that purely archival footage or still photographs should not count as "appearances." It's just wildly misleading to say that Susan Foreman has an appearance in The Day of the Doctor just because there's a still photograph of her in the UNIT archives that you can catch if you pause at just the right moment. What's to be done, btw, about "appearances" where an actor returns, but is not actually playing the character. For instance, Caroline John has a cameo in The Five Doctors, but she's playing some sort of illusion made to look like Liz Shaw, not the actual Liz Shaw. Or Billie Piper in Day of the Doctor isn't actually playing Rose, just the Moment making itself look like Rose. Jlk7e 02:34, January 20, 2014 (UTC)
