Except for Harris, who is gone now, Danny is the only extra that actually had any sort of screen time isn't he? Or is Chris considered an extra?

Anyway, I really like Danny, and hope he gets some development, next Darach or not...ok I hope he isn't evil, I don't want to start disliking him, and he just doesn't have that bad boy/evil sexy thing going for him.

Someone once did a tally and came up with 12 minutes as the total amount of screen time that Danny had appeared in both seasons one and two. I don't know how much that increased in 3a, as I don't have leisure time to rewatch and count. But I don't believe that it was that much in total.

In terms of sheer number of lines, I think that Coach Finstock and Victoria Argent are ahead of Danny. So were Boyd and Erica. Chris is a secondary character, not an extra (and has a LOT more screen time and lines than Danny).

The weird part is that Danny is a fan favorite character, but Jeff does nothing to develop him. Hence the allegations of gay baiting. The show has a diversity problem generally, but this one is particularly glaring. At least Boyd got a storyline.
