Talk:Character appearances/@comment-1034487-20110928054206

I think there's confusion on what makes a background appearance. I see it as an actual physical, non-speaking appearance. Flashbacks should count if they're physically appearing in it.

Photos, drawings, artworks, etc however, should not count, because they are not physically there. it is a frame, canvas, or whatever depicting them, but they are not actually physically on such things, and thus, aren't in the background themselves.
