A few days ago we were using the term "legacy" character, which users use in different ways.
Everyone can agree that a character born on-screen and raised on (or just off-screen) the show is a legacy character (I think).
Most folks would agree that a character who enters Salem as an adult and is not directly related to another character is not a legacy character - no matter how long they stay in Salem.
Anything in between that...gets murky.
So just for fun, how do you define a legacy character? Would you use other terms to describe characters, either in addition to legacy or instead of it?
What might you call the following characters... Will - Julie - Victor - Rafe - Sonny - Nathan (Horton) - Chanel - André - Tripp - Lani - Theo - Abe - Sydney
I don't believe there's a right or wrong answer here - the soap press isn't consistent with usage (and fan boards even less so), so all definitions - including ones that might be a little wacky - should be considered a possibility!
