DAYS should be ashamed of themselves. Pocket's (who's bloody adorable, but still) had more screentime than Marlena, and I'll bet your ass China Lee's kids have had more than John. It's pathetic.

Thank you Jason!

I'm sorry, that made me laugh out loud!

Damn, I hope it's a good laugh. I mean, you gotta admit that's just, if not pathetic IYO, just plain *wierd*.

Damn, I hope it's a good laugh. I mean, you gotta admit that's just, if not pathetic IYO, just plain *wierd*.

The way you said it made me laugh. But it certainly is weird. At this point, it can't possibly be about the budget. Sheffer just doesn't seem to want to write for them. I would think Reckell and Alfonso have to make the same kind of money as Dee and Drake, and Bo and Hope are certainly getting airime this summer...

Days deserves the ratings it is getting. Showcasing as these new characters. Dumb ass Corday . I hope Ed Scott changes things

Wasn't Hall on vacation part of the month? Not that it mattered it would of probably been the same number.

If by vacation you mean not working by TPTB's choice? Sure.

Wow. Overkill on some characters

And I'd be happy to mention which I think are Kyle

What's so sad is that even though Peter and Kristian are quite high considering, they've not really DONE anything.

If by vacation you mean not working by TPTB's choice? Sure.

Well Hall has a vacation every summer normally around this point.

Well Hall has a vacation every summer normally around this point.

She has vacations when she can take vacations. Of course, she wants time with her children when they are out of school. She asks and they give it to her if they give it to her. There's no month long vacation clause in her contract.

1. Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady Roberts-121/Colleen Brady-10) 123

2. James Scott (E.J. Wells-109/Santo DiMera-11) 114

5. Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady) 98

6. Martha Madison (Belle Black) 96

7. Blake Berris (Nick Fallon) 95

^^ why the ratings are so low

Here's how the top 7 should be:

1. Deidre H

2. Drake H

3. Kristian A

4. Peter R

You can rotate these 4.....but they have to be the top 4.

5 and 6: Stephen N and Mary Beth

7. Alison S

No Suzanne Rogers at all this month...what the hell...she's got a guarantee of 4 shows a month in her contract, they're wasting her and for what? More scenes for Shelley Hennig?

And yeah when you take a look at those top 7 actors...no wonder the show's ratings are in the toilet.

top 10 should be this.

1. Kristian Alfonso

2. Peter Reckell

3. Alison Sweeney

4. James Scott

5. Deidre Hall

6. Jay Kenneth Johnson

7. Brandon Beemer

8. Martha Madison

9. Lauren Koslow

10 Renee Jones

A variety of ages, the way it should be!
