I think I would have an orgasm if her numbers were this high in 2007. lol I love episode counts.

Is there any chance anyone would have a yearly count for anywhere from 1997-2004 (Helena's years).

wow.. there's quite a difference.

see no one is on everyday.. unlike now with SB on everyday

I love John J. York.. he was #3.. he needs a real s/l

and ITA about Carly, oh the glory years.

Guza was writing in 1998?! Why the hell did he stop using Helena?! And yes, I love reading these!!

Guza returned to GH on December 1997 and in his first month he brought on Constance Towers as Helena. But Constance was used the most under Megan McTrash in 2001.

And that's why I love McTavish You wouldn't happen to have yearly counts would you?

And that's why I love McTavish You wouldn't happen to have yearly counts would you?

I will post specific information on Helena/Constance Towers tomorrow. I don't have her whole run from 1997 - 2007 but i have the most of it.

Thank you so much for posting these

I miss Brenda too. I forgot about V, I enjoyed her at the time.
