"Supporting Characters" to "recurring characters"

Shouldn't "Supporting characters" be "recurring characters"? I'm not nitpicking, but Doris Roberts won "Best Supporting Actress" a few times. Her roles is a supporting character, while Ray Romano and Patricia Heaton were considered lead. However I would divide them into lead characters and supporting characters. I would just change the "supporting characters" to "recurring characters"

There already is a recurring character section, which addresses "true" recurring characters, or characters that appear very infrequently. Supporting characters have generally fixed roles in the series, and could not simply disappear without explanation (as recurring characters often do). --Florida Is Hell (talk) 21:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Peter Boyle's death does not equate to Frank Barone's death.

It makes no sense to keep adding a death date to the Frank Barone info box or section of the article. Yes, the actor died in 2006 but when we last saw the character, he was still alive. So in the Raymond universe, for lack of a better term, Frank Barone is alive for all we know. Using the logic of equating the character with the actor, this means we should go through every TV show or movie article with recurring characters, played by now deceased actors, and add death dates to their characters. It's a ridiculous notion. Unless there is a Raymond reunion show that addresses the character as having died, that character remains eternally living, so to speak.

D. Litt.

Raymond does not have a D. Litt. degree, however, it is often listed on the characters page that he does. In episode 91, "Debra Makes Something Good," it is stated that Ray does not have a Master's degree. He does not even know what Debra is talking about when she says she lies to her friends, telling them that he has a Master's. If he does not at least have a Master's degree, then he cannot have a D. Litt. He merely has a Bachelor's degree. —Preceding unsigned comment added by TisMoi (talk • contribs) 01:44, 5 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ray definitely does not have a doctorate, but does have an honorary doctorate. See "The Ingrate" (Season 8, Episode 18) where they discuss his college education in full and he receives his honorary degree.MagnoliaSouth ^(talk) 17:27, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

What episode was that?

Does anyone know what season and what episode it was that Ray & Deb were trying to figure out where to live and they had a map and made a circle around a 2 hour radius of Frank & Marie's house to see if it was over 2 hours it would have to be an "overnight" trip but to stay within the 2 hour radius they would be able to return to their home. I think at the end of this episode is where they wound up living across the street from them.

Thanks for all help! —Preceding unsigned comment added by 130.156.111.2 (talk) 18:16, 14 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]
