Series page shows "wrong" author on many works

I spent a while yesterday attempting to clean up the series page for the Friends TV Show
https://www.librarything.com/nseries/15279/Friends-%5B1994-2004-TV-Series%5D

Finding uncombined works for each season, etc. And attempting to set Main Authors on each as the two people wikipedia lists as Creators. Before I made most of those combinations and set Main Author, I think David Crane was listed as the author of most of the seasons. Since I finished working on it Jennifer Aniston has taken priority.
On the work pages she shows as an Other Author (Actor), on her author page she is listed as "Creator, Actor" for most of the seasons even though the work credit is always just Actor. 3 of 10 seasons do appear in the Associated Works so it's not consistent.

Nevermind, caching took longer to catch up than I expected. Although why Aniston was showing as "Creator, Author" seems like an issue.
