Matt came on late in the year and I'm guessing the first 2 Jacks didn't get that much airtime. Peter, Kristian & Deidre were written out early in 87 so I doubt any would have cracked the top 10. Though the teens were used in moderation back then, there's an outside chance Reeves or Warlock might be in there.

Thanks Jason.

I am interested in this because SN has said the balance on Days would start being 80's-like. I look forward to this. From what I remember, I think the order of the top 10 may go:

Stephen Nichols

Mary Beth Evans

Drake Hogestyn

Patsy Pease

Charles Shaughnessy

Genie Francis

Judi Evans

Wally Kurth

John Aniston

Melissa Reeves

I may be wrong on the order but I think these might be the ten.

Hi JCar03. That's something I did not add up. I just checked my master episode list for you and 1987 begins with # 5389. Preemptions on 1/1, 7/3 and 11/26. The last episode in 1987 is # 5646. So that would be 258 episodes in total for 1987. Jason

Thanks for that number, hope it wasn't to much trouble to figure out, I was just curious. It would mean that Mary Beth Evans being the leader in the count appeared in 64% of the episodes that year. Compare that to last years ep count leader Peter Reckell who had 193 (of 253) and a 76%.

No trouble to look it up, Jcar. Just had to recheck my math to make sure I got the correct amount of episodes. My master episode guide file has a complete daily airdate listing from 1965 to the present, so I can easily look up any episode # or airdate and see what it is, as well as all of the preemptions.

    • Don't know if this has been posted; however, it appears the story bible, Shadows on the Wall, has been uploaded for anyone to snag here:  https://archive.org/details/shadows-on-the-wall-1 (rough draft) AND  https://archive.org/details/shadows-on-the-wall-1/page/91/mode/2up  
    • Major flaw! And that's why I said Dani would've been better off an screwed up kid (black sheep). Nicole got an award because she's doing important work. Depression is real, Mental illness is real. People are homeless and committing suicide in jails because they lack proper help. Yes, she modeled, but I mean, even Tyra pivoted into acting, talk shows, her own company, managing other models, etc.
    • I will admit to not liking John Bolger in the role of Phillip, but on rewatch, he has a really nice friend chemistry with Michael and Krista. And I think it's the only period of time where Phillip hasn't pulled Rick into some stupid scheme that ends up hurting the friendship.

      You're right about everything! The casino needs to go and it's ugly! The ugliest set on BTG.
    • Jayne Bentzen is the actress who played Nicole at that point. She joined Edge the year before, replacing Maeve McGuire.
    • Wait.....Anita is an EGOT, Vernon was an important Senator, and Dani was an international model (no matter how brief, although I thought she said she was on par with Tyra Banks(or someone)...meanwhile, Nicole's some nice psychologist/psychiatrist with an award on her wall...but Dani's hasn't added to the Dupree mystique?  I don't think the writers considered ever having any Dupree be less than utterly fabulously successful  and that's actually flaw in the structure of the show.  Oh, I forgot to say...Smitty acts like she stumbled into Vanessa's Only Fans account and paid for a picture of her dirty undies before realizing it was her.
    • I watched another batch of episodes and I have a sense of dread. I fear they are setting up a murder storyline with one of my favorite characters as the victim. I don't know if that would be considered a spoiler so won't reveal the character. If that's so, i will be extremely disappointed as this person has done Emmy caliber work and would create such a void on the show.  If I'm right, I think I know who the suspect will be and I would rather the suspect be murdered.  Joel Crothers's Miles has had more of a presence with his wife Nicole and I enjoy both actors. Crothers is just so yummy and charismatic. Don't know who plays Nicole but I like their relationship.  Ann Williams has been phenomenal as Margo. Margo is desperate to keep Eliot and make April happy. Williams had a nice scene with Kibbee's Geraldine about Logan and the baby. Eliot has been so slimy and menacing but he's so watchable. April and Draper are still fighting over the baby and something has happened to April to land her in the hospital. I just keep hoping she'll kick Draper out. The man is such a pain. Raven needs to come back and sleep with him. She can liven him up. Ann Flood and Frances Fisher had a wonderfully written scene where Deborah confesses her feelings for Owen. The writing and acting for this scene was first-rate. I want more of Flood. It's good to see Fisher getting more to do. Steve and his low cut shirts have been sidelined lately. The writers are setting up a Deborah/Nola confrontation.  Paige and Brian are still pretty much an afterthought. The movie plot is coming along nicely and there was a great episode where Margo had a party for the movie at her penthouse. Still enjoying the show. 
    • See, I imagine it as some kind of "private" room within a bigger casino.
