Deidre Hall's been in 2000 more episodes than Suzanne, so at over 5000 episodes, even if Dee averaged only 4 scenes an episode, that would put her at over 20,000 scenes.

Are you saying someone kept track of the # of scenes that Helen Wagner was in? There was an ATWT stats person doing that since the 1950's? Or has a fan at some point checked all of the scripts to figure it out? Today was Suzanne's 3,101st episode.

Scenes? It took me decades just to compile the episode count!! You would need the complete scripts from 1973-1983 to see how many scenes she was in. Plus, you wouldn't know which scenes got cut and didn't make it to air. My data is # of episodes.

WGA East directory lists him as deceased: https://findawriter.wgaeast.org/member/michaelrdavid/ An article from 1974 lists him as 41 then, so he was born around 1933. But that's about as much as I can find on him.

The ABC Special Report is listed as starting at 3:38PM Eastern, so that's why AMC got a breakout at 1:38PM. So we can deduce from that that AMC aired in Eastern and Central, but got the special report in Mountain & Pacific. One of the NBC Special Reports is listed as HR Clinton. So looking up 4/22/94 and Hilary Clinton on Google, that shows CSPAN listing a Whitewater investigation at 3:45PM Eastern, so that was the special report reason. Richard Nixon died at 9:08PM Eastern that evening.
