Long-term characters
How long does someone have to be in a soap to be considered a long-term character?
Who on EE would you consider long-term? |

Long term for a soap would probably be any character 5 years plus, in my opinion. Given the 'average' story time for soap character is approximately 2-3 years (although tellingly given the British economic downturn, this seems to have lengthened lately) - 5 years is enough to be 'long term'.
I would also add that long term does not mean iconic,... |

Kat has been in the show for 8 years overall and David was in the show for 3 years in his original stint.

No...Kat came in 2000, before Patrick. And he still arrived on the show before some of those characters.
