I added Dr. Sanjay Gupta using the bulk add to https://www.tvmaze.com/shows/9072/erin-burnett-outfront earlier today (3 episodes, May 4, 5, 6) as well as individually to to-days episode as well as individually in the past. It appears to have split his appearances into 2 ... I can't see what the difference is and/or if I somehow messed up? Any ideas/help? TiA

That's the reason why it's created another.

Not sure why though, I currently see two 'Dr. Sanjay Gupta' when I search for it, so not sure why you had an issue before (maybe just temporary issue in the search).

Would you like me to merge them?

Sure, appreciate it.

When I normally add a guest cast who has appeared before, the character will pop up pre-filled. Using the bulk add today it did not and as I typed nothing popped up similar to how after typing part of an actors name, suggestions appear. I assumed using the bulk add somehow altered that behaviour and it wasn't till tonight I saw the results. If it doesn't happen again or can't be replicated then it's likely I messed up or my browser had a brain fart.

Done.

And I've checked, looks like you're right that it doesn't automatically select the character on bulk guest cast so you'll just need to search for them yourself.
