| Renée, Dominick’s caregiver, portrayed by Elea Oberon |
Archive footage: Macy Alexander portrayed by Bobbie Eakes, Saul Feinberg portrayed by Michael Fox, and Dr. James Warwick portrayed by Ian Buchanan appear in flashbacks during this period. These appearances do not constitute present-day returns. boards.soapoperanetwork.com
Unresolved credits: Joanna Manning portrayed by Susan Seaforth Hayes is listed in some sources as appearing in B&B in 2005, but I could not securely place her appearances within these season dates. I also could not establish a credited infant performer for Nicole Marone. en.wikipedia.org

New characters
Returning characters such as Felicia, Stephen and Donna are listed separately below.

Dax Griffin is also credited in July accident-story episodes, before Shane’s established September introduction. Consequently, September 12 is best treated as the introduction of Shane as the named character, rather than necessarily Griffin’s first screen appearance. IMDb
