Strange. I agree with livelikemusic and think years should be added for recurring characters. If they were to quit the show, we would move them to the prior cast members section and any years they were recurring would be mentioned there, right? I was going to add Eileen Davidson's previous characters to her section (as is done with Kristian Alfonso and Galen Gering and has been discussed and agreed should be done for actors who have portrayed multiple characters) but, don't want to as it is because it would just be too confusing without dates.
