Talk:List of Emmerdale characters (2014)

Daz, Tracey and Carole

I was just wondering if there was any confirmation that these three characters are recurring? Is there any valid sources mentioning this or the length of their stay in the programme? I would at least think that Daz was going to be a major character! 173.179.185.186 (talk) 16:05, 25 July 2014 (UTC)samusek2

Usually the casting announcements say whether they are going to be regular, recurring or guest characters. For example, this source - [1] - for Kirin states that he is a new regular. - JuneGloom Talk 23:36, 25 July 2014 (UTC)

Yeah, I saw that about Kirin. However, I saw the sources linked for Daz, Carole and Tracy and saw no mention if they were regular or just recurring. (I would gather some are.) I was just curious as people have immediately put them as recurring in the "Current characters" page. There must be a way to find out easily what an actor's status is right from the start like they do for the American soaps. Thanks173.179.185.186 (talk) 15:55, 26 July 2014 (UTC)samusek2

The English soaps don't make it that easy to tell the status of a character. Unless it's been mentioned in the casting announcement or subsequent interviews, it can be tricky to work out. The Aussie soaps make it easier by adding all the recurring/guest characters to the end of the credits (in fact Home and Away has a labelled "guest cast" section). I'll keep an eye out for anything that mentions the statuses of Daz, Tracey and Carole. - JuneGloom Talk 16:39, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Lachlan

Given the sheer amount of things that have been going on with the character and the outside coverage in various sources, wouldn't it be worth giving him his own page now? CallyMc (talk) 22:24, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Sure, if someone puts in the time and effort to create one, which uses those sources to establish notability. - JuneGloom07 Talk 23:29, 6 September 2018 (UTC)

Tracy

I thought I'd start a discussion to saoid future exit warring. Per WP:COMMONNAME, Metcalfe is Tracy's common name. The lead of that section does have "Tracy Robinson" as the first 2 words but the name should remain is Metcalfe until she becomes more known in sources etc by Robinson (if that ever does happen). Changing the name of the section/infobox also means that the links won't work if people see her on a page. DaniloDaysOfOurLives (talk) 21:15, 5 July 2023 (UTC)

Agreed - Metcalfe is her common name and it shall remain that way. – Meena • 22:21, 5 July 2023 (UTC)
