Example:

Raphael Sbarge was billed as starring every episode of Season 1. However, his characters appeared in the same number of episodes as those portrayed by Giancarlo Esposito-- a total of 9. I think we can all agree that Archie/Jiminy was not a main character.

As Giga said, just because the actor is given star billing, which is often a contract thing, does not make their character(s) major.

Even according to the creators, this show is about Snow White, Charming, their daughter, her son, and their relationship with the Queen and Rumpelstiltskin as the Curse gets enacted and then broken. ''Those" are the major characters.

At any rate, it should be decided by the community, I suppose, as Giga suggest.
