We review the recent progress which has been made in searches for and identifications of flaring, fading, and quiescent gamma-ray burst counterparts in the radio, optical, and X-ray bands. Although great advances have clearly been made in the past year with the detections of counterparts to two bursts, there are still many fundamental questions which cannot be answered. Among them are the behavior of flaring radio and optical counterparts, the characteristics of fading counterparts at minutes to hours after the burst, the long term evolution of fading counterparts into quiescent counterparts, and how to predict the intensity of fading counterparts based on the gamma-ray emission during the burst. Only the detection of a large sample of new counterparts will answer them.
