:I think it's a case of people assuming "whenever the Doctor is in a story, the doctor variable '''must''' be used", when in fact (at least that's how I see it) it is merely an equivalent to "main character". So, given that the Doctor is definitely not the main character here, it should be used at all imo.

::There are certainly cases where the Doctor appears but is better placed under <code>featuring</code>. In this story, to be clear, the Doctor and co are narrated ''about'' in a 2-minute segment (and have no dialogue, but are at least briefly ''described'' as having said something), but even that segment is very much centred on Susan's experiences.{{User:SOTO/sig}} 20:32, September 25, 2019 (UTC) | ::There are certainly cases where the Doctor appears but is better placed under <code>featuring</code>.

:::Possibly a missunderstanding such as the one I mentioned above, or maybe an "editing before listening to the story" (this is not meant as an attack btw; most times I create a story page I'm in this situation). Could we change it back to main character being Susan? | |||
:::Also, I'm not sure I feel like the Doctor, Ian and Barbara warrant a "featuring" spotlight. Adding them there indicates to a non-listener that they have a somewhat proeminent role in the story, which is really not true. Once we settle the matters here, I'll do the same changes to ''[[Daybreak (audio story)|Daybreak]]'' - that story is basically Vicki as main character, rest on the background with small roles throughout).
