Wow...the name that stuck out to me was Arianne Zuker. She really worked her way up there in her time at Days.

The rest not surprising. Thanks Jason

[Toups]

Way cool! Thanks, Jason.

Drake.

[Shawn]

And John Aniston. Where is he now?

It is never about how many episodes a thespian is in, it is about the material they are given. Reid is in 14th place, but Taylor has been given much more to do. People are always whining that [insert Thespian Name] is on way too much. What do they mean by that: Lead or Episode Count?

Do people want to see Zeman or Charleson laying in bed, unconscious with no lines for 20 episodes? A real fan would not. Elliot is not seen often, but when she is, she makes her presence known with the material she is given. The battle is between count and material.
