Great top 10 list..Besides Ashlee Holland and Josh Taylor, this is a near perfect top 10..Hopefully February's is similar with Mary Beth Evans and Stephen Nichols in the top 10 as well..But i love Marlena, Bo, Hope, and John in the top..

Now that's what I like to see.

I don't mind Ashlee and Josh being up there because they're not in the forefront of the storyline. They're just supporting the story which is fine by me.

One last thing, Josh Taylor at number 2 doesn't actually bother me....Having watched every episode this month, i haven't thought that Roman was too overexposed..There were many episodes where Roman just appeared in a small portion of the episodes...

I don't mind Ashlee and Josh being up there because they're not in the forefront of the storyline. They're just supporting the story which is fine by me.

Funny i just posted that i didn't mind Josh in the top because i didn't even notice him being overexposed..And like you said he is just supporting the story..Ashlee is the same, there were many episodes that she was only in 1 or 2 scenes...For instance last week we saw her singing a lullaby to Claire at the very end of the episode..And today she was only in the last scene..

Lauren Koslow has 3 episodes...

And Suzanne Rogers got blessed with 1 episode...

I need a drink!

Along with Y&R DAYS seems to benefit from the strike...

This is what DAYS is SUPPOSED to look like. Great job Hogan Sheffer. Your material stopped airing at the end of this month, but your agenda is clear. The vets are back baby! The way he wanted them to be in 2007.

Shame that Damn Hack is going to be shaping stories for the time being.

Good job Days and all involved.

Loving it!!
