Final Draft 10: My character (or cast) report lists certain characters as non-speaking in scenes but the characters are not actually in those scenes in the script anymore. How can I fix this?

If a non-speaking character has been manually added to a scene, it must be manually removed or edited to reflect changes made to the script later (such as deleting a character from a scene or changing a character's name).

To remove a non-speaking character from a scene:

1. Open your file;
2. Go to Tools > Show Navigator to bring up the Navigator window (if it's not already open);
3. Click on the Characters tab;
4. Select a scene in the Navigator list;
5. In the box at the lower left, all characters in the scene will be listed. If a character has dialogue in the scene, they will have a dialogue bubble next to their name. If a character has been inserted as a non-speaking character, they will have a dialogue bubble with a red X next to their name;
6. Select the non-speaking character you want to remove;
7. Click the minus sign (Mac) or Remove (Windows) to remove the non-speaking character.

Once you've removed the unwanted non-speaking character(s) from any scenes they're in, the reports will be accurate.

Final Draft 12 has a command to quickly remove a non-speaking character from a script.
