But I do hope that Harper will be a main character in season 5, since she's my favourite, but we'll see... She's said she'll be a main. Echo.

Where? None of the news articles or Tasya's tweets have said anything about being a main, only about a series regular. Series Regular means a main. Those articles about Harper and Nathan were reported by fansites. TV Guide is a very reliable.

Chelsey herself confirmed it, for example in this: http://www.hypable.com/the-100-season-4-chelsey-reist-interview-harper-marper/

But I guess we'll see, whether or not she is indeed a main or still a recurring character with more screen time (what I still think is the case), when the next season starts. There is a difference between a main character and a series regular. In the walking dead there is almost 20 series regular characters, yet only 12 appear as main characters in the opening sequence. I don't really know the difference but from what I understand a series regular appears more consistently throughout the season, whereas a recurring character like Jackson just appears here and there throughout the season. For me a series regular just means they will appear more often, but not be a main character.
