663:, from an in-universe perspective, Sarah Paulson played Audrey Tindall who played Shelby Miller. But Knowledge must be written from an out-universe perspective, so while when describing Audrey on this website we say "she is the actor who plays Shelby", we list them as two separate characters, as in the show Audrey and Shelby are not the same person, and are instead two characters played by Sarah Paulson. This is different to all the other cases listed i.e. Rita is the same character as Donna, because Rita is Donna's pseudonym.

In Sidibe's case, I also think being listed as a special guest star is a prestigious title, as it means you have some clout in the acting industry. Moreover, using your argument, why then have black actors such as 696:
Gabourey Sidibe and Jamie Brewer are either listed as special guests or recurring characters, despite the fact that they are both main characters in the third season. Why is this? Not listing them as main characters for those seasons is ridiculous and smacks of racism/ableism.

been cast as main roles in some of their respective seasons? Lastly, Jamie Brewer has appeared in five seasons, so it makes no sense that there is ableism going on if she is repeatedly cast.
