I will have undoubtedly missed some characters out, so I welcome suggestions, and I will keep flicking through various Wikipedia categories and lists to make additions for shows I haven't watched myself.
For shows where the cast of characters are heavily LGBTQ (read: The L Word) I have listed as many characters as I felt were important to the story.
