Lindsay Hartley stayed at the Top all year.

May was the only month so far where a non-AMC, GH, or PSNS actor was in the Top 10 overall - that was Jack Wagner (Nick, B&.

DAYS is the only show from Jan-June without a Nation wide pre-emption!

Will Lindsay Hartley be able to keep her grasp on #1 when the show moves to DirectTV in September considering that the show will only air 4 days a week instead of 5?

NOTE: I keep track of each show via watching or reading recaps and I double check all my numbers through those who post theres on here (A BIG THANK YOU TO ALL OF YOU). There may be some editing done because the OLTL and Y&R numbers for June have not been posted yet so my numbers could be off.

[P.J.]

Y'know what's ironic? I think ATWT is one of the worst shows for not having a variety of characters on, and this proves that every other soap (except GL, who doesn't have anyone in the top 50) is WORSE at it.

[dawn9476]

And some Days fans think that it is the worse show when it comes to balance. Alison Sweeny isn't even in the top twenty when it comes to "airhogs."

[PhoenixRising05]

Exactly. Days' balance isn't half bad compared to other shows, who even have better ratings with the shoddy balance.

I am not surprised to see Lindsey and many Passions actors up at the top. They have a smaller cast and use the same people every day. Lindsey Hartley really could use a break.

My apologies for not having the OLTL counts up yet. I have been busy finishing up homework assignments as my summer classes draw to a close. I should have them posted by Saturday night or Sunday.

[dawn9476]

And a lot of the people who are ahead of Alison play characters who have fewer ties to their shows canvas than Sami does.

[All My Shadows]

Wow, thanks a bunch for posting this. It really clears the air as far as balance issues go.

[PhoenixRising05]

Exactly dawn and it also says something when the first Days actor or actress on the list doesn't appear until #26. Yes, Days had poor balance but other shows have it worse and have had it worse for a long time. It really puts things in perspective.

[dawn9476]

I misread. I thought Alison was 23. She is actually 26. My bad.

[nassaunew]

LOL, this is what you and I were discussing a few nights ago.

[jcar03]

Don't worry about it. I was able to catch OLTL most days during June so hopefully my counts aren't off to much. I figured people were busy with the holiday last weekend. Once you post them I will edit the count accordingly. Thanks in advance!
