Talk:List of Royal Pains characters

Recurring Characters
Maybe we should have a section for Marshall David Bryant IV (Tucker's father, portrayed by Andrew McCarthy). He's been in multiple episodes now. Kevinbrogers (talk) 21:34, 14 August 2009 (UTC)

Boris' last name
I whats just wondering where is the mention of boris' last name posted.... My understand it was like 8 LONG names, from the pilot. Tj21 (talk) 18:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * It is. In the episode where Evan speaks bad Italian (see List of Royal Pains episodes to find out which that is), Divya rattles it off.  It's Boris Kristoff von Something-or-Other Rabanisch, and since I've only heard it spoken, I can't spell it.  I truncatated it to the first name and the last last name Purplebackpack89 (talk) 18:54, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
 * ah okay, didnt catch it until i rewatched it another time. Tj21 (talk) 16:09, 22 August 2009 (UTC)

Boris' name is Boris Kuester von Jurgens-Ratenicz. Seriously all you had to do was look up Campbell Scott, the actor that plays Boris on IMDB —Preceding unsigned comment added by Soma90405 (talk • contribs) 02:47, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

Raj
Add him to the list of recurring characters? He's been in two episodes, alluded to, and now that he's officially Divya's intended, he'll probably be back for Season Two Purplebackpack89 (talk) 17:14, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I say yes. Kevinbrogers (talk) 17:20, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Agreed. --Evb-wiki (talk) 17:37, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * Well i think we should also consider adding divya's parents after the finale i wouldnt be surprised if we see them more now.Tj21 (talk) 18:01, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * I also thought of that. However, as of yet, they have had hardly any dialog, while Raj has had a significant amount during both of his appearences. --Evb-wiki (talk) 18:06, 29 August 2009 (UTC)
 * thats true about dialogue. But it has been a significant point from about the second ep. via her phone calls with them. Tj21 (talk) 18:09, 29 August 2009 (UTC)

Hank have his own article?
Why not? The protagonists of many other cable TV shows have their own articles Purplebackpack89  (Notes Taken)  (Locker) 01:07, 31 May 2010 (UTC)
 * Sounds good, but maybe after a few more seasons. Note that Mary Shannon (In Plain Sight) does not yet have her own article (IPS is in season three), while Michael Westen (Burn Notice) does (Burn Notice is in season four).  From my experience here, characters usually don't get their own articles until around season four, sometimes even later or not at all.  There simply isn't enough information to fill it, so it would be better in List of Royal Pains characters. Kevinbrogers (talk) 03:02, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * Looks like I was wrong about Mary Shannon. However, I still think more time should be given before creating an article solely devoted to Hank. Kevinbrogers (talk) 03:03, 3 June 2010 (UTC)
 * I think his character does need an article but there isn't much to fill it yet. The second season will be airing soon and I'm sure that we will be getting a lot more background info on him.  Maddie  talk 03:08, 3 June 2010 (UTC)

A couple suggestions
I want to applaud the work that went into gathering this article and the editors who did it -- great job! I have a couple suggestions I think will make the article more accessible, but didn't want to charge in and make the edits until they are discussed. First, I think the infoboxes should be oriented to page left. They set up the page spacing, and will make the long runs of white space between the narrative sections less prominent. Second, the individual characters are sorted by point of introduction rather than importance. That doesn't work. A reader is more likely to be looking for key characters appearing regularly, and has to hunt for them this way. We need to arrange them in a way that the prominent characters seen the most, such as Eddie R. Lawson (which is how his name should read, since that's how the show identifies him) and Paige are at the top of the article with Boris. Finally, I'd suggest incorporating the description of Dieter into Boris' article, since you have a whole section effectively in service of one sentence, and he's just lost. Moreover, that would help people who know the character but not his name find him. Drmargi (talk) 15:03, 6 August 2011 (UTC)

Update, add move
I think a few things need to happen here:


 * 1) Season four info needs to be added
 * 2) Paige and Boris have been promoted to main characters
 * 3) We need articles about a few more characters, such as Dr. Zuccotti
