Season 1: Lana, Robert, Ginny, Josh, JMo, Jared. (I think Eion may have been main halfway through, but not sure) The rest were Recurring

Season 2: Add Emilie and Meghan at the beginning. Drop Meghan and Add Colin Midseason.

Season 3: Add MRJ as Main

Season 4: Drop MRJ, Add Michael Sosha.

Season 5: Drop Michael Sosha, Add Bex and Sean.

So basically 8 of the 10 current "Mains" have been with the show since season 2 (6 from the very begining). and the other 2 current mains have been affiliated with the show since season 3. It has really been a very strong and unchanging cast. If the show is to have any chance at multiple seasons, though, they probably need to start replacing some of the other mains. Really, I think that the ones to keep until the very end are Robert, Lana, and JMo. Any and everyone else is subject for swapping out.

Honestly, I think Ginny and Josh could be moved to recurring characters, (Give MM her old teaching job back, and let David run the Sheriff's station). and then make room for a new FT couple (or other FT characters) to become the center of the show for a bit. A few corrections. Rapheal and Jamie were mains in Season 1, Jamie was dropped after his character died, Rapheal was dropped at the end of the season. Eion was added to main in the middle of the season, but then dropped at the end of the season. Meghan was not dropped until the end of Season 2. Everything else you said is correct.
