As H.R.G (guest star Jack Coleman) sets up a meeting for his daughter Claire (Hayden Panettiere) with her biological parents, she hopes that questions about her newfound indestructibility can be answered. Meanwhile, Isaac (Santiago Cabrera) receives another confusing call from Hiro, but Peter (Milo Ventimiglia) is there this time to pick up the phone and relay a life-saving message.

I can't believe D.L. doesn't show up until the 6th episode. Oh well, at least the episode sounds pretty cool.

^Not necessarily. In "The West Wing" Bradley Whitford's "secretary" wasn't listed as regular for Season 1 even though she was in almost every episode. For the next season, she was no longer listed as a "guest" and had her name on the intro and was considered a regular for the rest of the series. That's just the most apparent.

Oh, also "Chevron Guy"(Gary Jones?) on Stargate SG-1 has been on the series for all 10 years, but has never been considered a regular. He's been a guest since he only appears in about 1/4 of the episodes. So, considering my limited mind can recall 2 instances off the top of my head, this stuff must happen all the time.

Oh, and this is a bit different, but Lost has so many repeating characters that only are in flashbacks, but for 3 seasons now some are still playing their roles.

I wasn't sure...I remember in 24 all the guest stars would get killed off. Then again, it seems like all their characters eventually get killed off. That's the only reason I thought about that.
