Regular characters are those that appear in every episode - or the majority of episodes - of a series. The actors that play regulars are usually contracted into every episode of a series, although they may drop out of an episode from time to time, either because of [[RealLifeWritesThePlot outside forces]] or because the writers simply can't think of anything to do with them. (When this doesn't happen and the actor makes a perfunctory appearance anyway, the MandatoryLine is usually the result.)

However, dropping them entirely from episodes is currently more common than having token appearances, with shows like ''Series/{{Lost}}'' and ''Series/{{Heroes}}'' only having a handful of episodes each season-if any-featuring all regulars. However, this is down to those shows have starring casts that at their peak can reach 16 people or more. The number dropped can be extreme: The ''Heroes'' episode "Company Man" features only three series regulars, for example.

Usually, though, even if a RegularCharacter doesn't have a big role in the story, they will get at least a few lines or background appearances to comply with their contract. Sometimes a regular character will be shifted to a sister show on the same network (for example, Spike and Oz crossing over from ''Series/{{Buffy|the Vampire Slayer}}'' to ''Series/{{Angel}}''), allowing them to fill out the contracted ''number'' of episodes even if they're not in every episode of that one series.
