There actually is a character named James E. Reilly? LOL

JER really does have a massive ego to feed doesn't he.

[PhoenixRising05]

There sure is and he is a corrupt judge. It's hilarious

Lindsey once again leading, which is no surprise. I am kind of shocked that Galen and Emily are that high. They have been off alot lately. Heidi was off for a bit too but now she is frontburner again. I like seeing Juliet so high up for June. I wish she was higher overall. Great to see Ben getting so much airtime too.

[nassaunew]

I think Lindsay's awesome, but she's been shown too much this year. I've become tired of Theresa always on the screen. 5 episodes missing over 6 months?

Emily was in all the episodes from January to end of February. Galen was in a lot, too, until May when the prison plotline began. So, even though they may have been off over the past week, they were so far ahead of everyone that there's still a huge gap. Eric was lagging until 3 months ago, but now he's on just as much as Lindsay.

Thanks, Jason!

[PhoenixRising05]

I love Lindsey too and she is long overdue for a break. Passions will never do it though.

It's wrong but the show relies on her. It used to rely on Galen and Mac but now I don't think it does. I think alot of it is Lindsey. They basically trained many fans to watch her day in and day out. Passions used to have better balance when it first started but the last few years it's the same characters over and over only now Emily gets the same amount of episodes that Mac used to get.

It's weird to see how Passions has the same people day in and day out. There are also times when people go missing for months on end. Silvana was missing for a long time until last year with Vendetta. I wish they would alternate characters but when they only have 3-4 main stories they can't. They also have a small main cast so I no longer expect the balance to be good. It will be the same every month. Lindsey, Emily, Galen, and maybe Mac will be up there and the rest will vary at times between Heidi, Brook, and Adrian (ugh).

[Toups]

James E. Reilly rocks - the writer and the soap character!

[nassaunew]

Oh, I agree, but Lindsay was not in as many episodes at this point in 2006. She had been in 109 out of 128 episodes, which I think is much better than 124/129. It was like that in prior years, too. I've read a lot of message boards lately, and it seems like Theresa's been getting on the nerves of even those who are fans. I think that the increase in screentime plays a part in this feeling, especially since Theresa's spark seems to be gone and she's like a sitting duck.

It's funny, though, how the Top 3 in 2006 by the end of June is the same:

Your right nassaunew but didn't Lindsey end up with just as obscene a number in episode counts at the end of the year?

The last 3 years her episode count has been enormous. I love the girl and even I am getting annoyed seeing her every day. This story with Theresa being blackmailed is just like the EJ/Sami story earlier this year. Sami lost her spark with that story too because she was always weeping and going on and on about the secret. Same goes for Theresa. Both stories went overboard making the characters into victims and the characters began to become grating despite the effort of both actresses.

I hope this story ends soon because I am missing the fighting Theresa I love so much.

[nassaunew]

Yep, Lindsay/Theresa ended up in a lot of episodes...233/254, but even so it was more balanced than it's been this year. If not for the move to DirecTV, at this pace I think that Lindsay Theresa probably would be featured in all but 10 episodes this year and make a soap opera record (number of episodes featured a year). Fewer episodes will be shown on DirecTV, but she'll probably still be in as many episodes percentage-wise.

Eric actually was number 1 in 2005. He beat Lindsay by 1 episode. Eric was in 224/254 episodes:

Re: Theresa losing her spark yet still being featured so much

I think this is what annoyed people about Sheridan so much. There was a time when she was on screen more than Theresa, and it was always crying and being in danger. It caused a lot of viewers to grow tired of the character, and I think the same is happening with Theresa. Lindsay usually brings it, though, so that's the difference from how Mckenzie was before she went on maternity leave.
