Not quite sure what to do about this, currently there's Category:Doctor Who guest actors (and Torchwood and SJA permutations), which are good for actors who have appeared once in a story. I've been working on and off through the Category:Doctor Who cast moving actors over to the 'guest actors' category.

What I'm not sure about are the actors who have appeared twice (or more) in different stores, sometimes with considerable time passed between them, they're still guest actors, but I was thinking maybe they should be in a separate category to the 'one time' guest actors category. I'm just not sure what to call it. Thoughts? --Tangerineduel 17:08, 11 November 2008 (UTC)

I think the people who only show up a few times still count as Guest Actors and would be in that category. I'm not sure what the cut off point would be though. Probably 4 or more times, then they might go into cast.

Of course, I assume we're talking about people who play the same character twice. Otherwise, I think they would be a guest actor every time, since it's just a guest character each occurrence. -<Azes13 18:15, 11 November 2008 (UTC)
