  • Heather Locklear was also billed as a Special Guest Star the entire time she was on Melrose Place, although she was effectively the lead actress. Commented Feb 21, 2019 at 22:54
  • Rule of thumb: "Special guest star" vs. regular cast member is only very loosely related to actual frequency of appearance. It's usually got more to do with negotiations between the actor('s agent) and the producers, the timing of when an actor joined, marketing concerns ("and special guest star [bigname actor]"), etc. Commented Feb 22, 2019 at 22:30
  • On a point of clarification, the facts are these: the tv show comprised a 60 minute pilot plus three regular seasons. Jonathan Harris ("Dr Smith") was not in the 1964 pilot, but was in every episode of the three seasons, made between 1965 and 1968. Commented Feb 24, 2019 at 15:21
