Maybe because she is listed in the opening credits as an actor? 

She may be credited, but she's not involved. In order for her name to count, she has to satisfy both criteria: be credited AND be involved in that episode.

How do you know she was not "involved"?  Were you there on the set while the episode was being made?

We'll just have to agree to disagree on this.

This is going nowhere.

If we are going this way, we have to revisit all DVD's and watch closely who has an actor credited and is not involved. What ever that may suggest. This is not the only case. The ping pong game is open.
Wil Wheaton is another one. Watch your profiles nothing is safe anymore!

This is going to be true of nearly every TV series to one degree or another.

It is a very common practice to list main cast in the opening credits, whether they appear in the episode or not.

Glad I've got all of mine locked!

See my reply to Giga; very few TV series have a full cast list at the end, and so follow the non-standard rules.

I'd really like to see you resubmit the cast list with a link to all the topics in which it's discussed and let Ken & Gerri make the final decision regardless of how many "no" votes you get on it.

I don't think this will cause ping pong if its decided to not include actors in this situation. As long as that decision is officially made.

We also don't need to revisit it because as northbloke said, It could be entered with that actor, and then if someone notices that they do not appear in the episode, they can be removed. nothing wrong with a two step process in this situation (except that by some peoples statements every field needs to be entered once 100% correct and then never touched again). Though I still feel that the re-listing of some of the actors from the opening credits in the end credits would be enough of a reason to not include them (ie treat them as standard credits) and then if someone finds that that person did appear to do the reverse and add them in saying, they are in this episode.

uncrediteds are added to list when people appear in a show but aren't credited, That to me seems that the purpose of the credits is to see what movies/shows someone is in. So why include someone that isn't in the show.

the other option is to add a checkbox similar to uncredited for this situation.

I think the real thing is that the rules were written to deal primarily with movies, but TV shows do things quite differently, if only because there are multiple episodes, so rules were put in to address (some of) these differences using standard rules otherwise, but since not everything had been encountered (and there will always be new situations found) the TV rules didnt address everthing it probably needs to.

But yes hal, i can agree with you that this is going nowhere, and have said that myself. So unless we get comment from the man in charge this can (and probably will) go on forever.

I thought the whole argument here was to only list the cast that actually appeared in that episode!

This is getting curioser and curioser!

No, sorry. The argument here is what defines "standard credits" so we know which set of rules to follow.
As Pantheon says above, had none of the main cast been listed in the end credits, then the non-standard rules would have been followed and Agnes would have been credited for all episodes as per the non-standard rules.
However, because in his (and my) opinion, all involved actors are listed in the end credits, then the standard rules are followed and Agnes is omitted from the episodes where she isn't credited in the end credits.

This is what I'm talking about.  Even the two of you who think you are on the same side of this argument, are actually fighting for two different things.

Northbloke only wants to remove credited cast if they do not appear in the episode AND if they are not listed in what he defines as "standard" credits.

Agare wants to remove credited cast if they do not appear in the episode....period.

I read Agrare's post differently. I got the impression that he would like it if we removed credited cast who don't appear, however I don't think he believes that's what the rules currently say.
Apologies if I have that wrong.

In case you overlooked them and you want to visualy inspect the missing actors from the IMDB database where all the information is and started the credited only theme.
Johnny de Mol, Claire Littleton, Henry Ian Cusick, Emilie de Ravin, Jorge Garcia, Josh Holloway, Daniel Dae Kim, Yunjin Kim, Dominic Monaghan, Kiele Sanchez, Rodrigo Santoro, Cirroc Lofton, Liberty Van Zandt, Julia Parsons, ...

I may be missing something - but what's this list got to do with the subject at hand?
