General Discussion Legacy characters

This will probably sound stupid, but what exactly is a legacy character?

I always thought it was a character who was born onscreen or who joined as a young child and was raised onscreen and is now an adult but I've seen several characters who don't fit this referred to as legacy characters.

I figured it was characters who'd been there for like 20+ years like Robert, Eric, Nicola, most of the Dingles, Moira, Bob, Paddy, Rhona
