A recurring character refers to a character from a film series, television program, comic book title or volume of novels who makes multiple appearances, but not so many that they could be considered either a main character or a supporting character. Recurring characters make at least five guest appearances in a TV show/comic/novel series, but can make up to as many as twenty or more appearances, depending upon the longevity of the medium in question. Certain antagonists may also be construed as recurring characters as well.
