Where the f*ck is Suzanne Rogers?!

Why is Stephanie on so much

20. Kristian Alfonso (Hope Brady) 6

Utterly wrong on so many levels

No wonder why DAYS sucks!

WHERES OUR VETS!

It's getting a bit better.

Peter Reckell is in the top 5. Also, if you look at Dee's numbers, even though she has been in less episodes, she has always ended up around 12-15 in episode counts in the past few years anyway.

There was way too much Stephanie but I expect that to change.

No wonder i love your posts Phoenix. I like that we're seeing so much PR these days.

The Top 10, the way it should be

1. Kristian Alfonso

2. Peter Reckell

3. Alison Sweeney

4. James Scott

5. Brandon Beemer

6. Jay Kenneth Johnson

7. Martha Madison

8. Stephen Nichols

9. Mary Beth Evans

10. Deidre Hall

11 Renee Jones

12 Lauren Koslow

13 Julie Pinson

14 Trevor Donovan

15 Rachel Melvin

But that's not even the point. The POINT is that when she is on, which is once a week or so, she's NOT BEING USED.

But that's not even the point. The POINT is that when she is on, which is once a week or so, she's NOT BEING USED.

Nor has she been really every year in the past 10 years but 2004 and even then her airtime and usage dropped off halfway through the year.

I want her used too and in story. All I was saying was she is basically in the same position she has finished out the year in the last few years only with less episodes. That's all.

AMEN!!!I was just telling him that the other day

No wonder i love your posts Phoenix. I like that we're seeing so much PR these days.

These episode counts are definitely proof why DAYS ratings are so down. Vets not on enough----John, Marlena, Hope, Bo, Kate, Roman, Caroline, Shawn, Lexie & Abe should be on much, much more, with storylines, same goes for Doug, Julie, Celeste, and where the hell are Maggie & Alice!?!??!?!

Sami, EJ, Lucas, Chelsea, Stephanie, Jeremy, Nick are all way on too much. I'd really like Sami, Lucas, Stephanie, Chelsea to be given a rest, have Sami & Lucas leave town for a month or two, and backburner Steph and Chelsea for awhile or at least not as much screentime. I'd like to see EJ killed off, Jeremy re-cast with a darker dark haired guy playing him. Nick should be axed IMHO, his character has been made such an idiot.

Why is Stephanie on so much

I love Stephanie and i am happy she is on alot. I love love love Shelley Hennig, she is such a beautiful wonderful actress and i love her. I also love Rachel Melvin.

LOL! LOOK WHO IS BACK!!!!

I love Stephanie and i am happy she is on alot. I love love love Shelley Hennig, she is such a beautiful wonderful actress and i love her. I also love Rachel Melvin.

I don't mind Stephanie normally but she shouldn't be at the top more like the middle.
