In general, I think characters should usually be listed under the predominant name from early in the series – an exception might be a character that was unmarried for a TV show's first season, but then was married for the remainder of the series: in a case like this, you would likely list the character by their married name.

is not how it should be. I would have to find the article but I know for a fact it was agreed nowhere on any media page, not just this one, that marriages of characters are not to be spoiled in the cast sections. I went ahead and removed the married names from female characters in the cast list.

is in desperate need of a couple of cast tables – one for the main cast, and one for recurring cast. The cast table for 'Main' cast should be moved from this article to List of Characters article, and then a cast table for the 'Recurring' section created there too.

It's my understanding that wikipedia is completely immune to the concept of 'spoilers', as a matter of long standing high ranking policy.
