This reminds me. When I was updating the character rankings this week, I noticed this stat: Josh Taylor is at 1916 for Roman, Wayne was Roman for 918 episodes. So, when Josh appears 2 more times, he will have played Roman in 1,000 more episodes than Wayne did.

Me getting busy is what happened! I do those when I have time, which I have not had in the past month or so.

I've never been called a font, but there's a first time for everything! A nice compliment to start off 2024. 😃

Julie mentioned in one of the recent years that a Mr. Early makes them (Tom Early is the art director who actually makes them in real life, so that was a nod to him).

HORTON ORNAMENT 2023 DEBUT: VICTORIA Was so busy getting the end-of-the-year rankings tallied up, I forgot to post the new Victoria ornament photo. Thanks as always to "Days" for the nice close-ups of the ornaments!

Maybe his last episode? I remember when he died and checking what his last episode was, it mentions Kate's Old Apartment, so maybe they had a Kate/Curtis newly-created flashback, which ended up being his last Days appearance. 9071...6/5/01: Cast: Austin, Brady, Chloe, Fay, Jan, John, Kate, Marlena, Mimi, Philip, Sami, Curtis, Carl, Mona/Woman at Shelter, Boy/Ned, Girl, Cop, Belle (FBO), Jason (FBO), Shawn (FBO).

12/29 UPDATE... Add Stefan; Remove Harris. Updated chart & final numbers to post.

Chart Updates for the weeks of 9/17/90 and 9/24/90. No preemptions, no changes to what SOW had listed: Chart Update for week of 3/18/91. No preemptions, no changes to what SOW had listed.

9/10/90-9/14/90 NIELSEN BOOK: Update with Nielsen book ratings for the week of 9/10/90. The "Days" breakout made its weekly average rating jump from the 4.2 listed in SOW to the final of 4.7 in the Nielsen book. All of the other numbers matched SOW.

Don gave me that number, since Dave was not always listed in the scripts (he'd be lumped in with the extras a lot). But, he kept meticulous records and knew exactly how many episodes he had been in! He was going to try and compile a list of his airdates (or at least the Episode #s) for the missing ones I don't have), but never sent it.
