Deidre Hall has allready appeared in one more episode then last year.

I am actually rather tired of Bo & Hope so i am happy they had less episodes in June.

Maggie in 0 Episodes, Buuuh!

Happy Nicole is one moore, but more with Kayla & Steve!

What a good list. Sure people at the bottom could be used more.. but look at like the top 15. a great miz of age ranges and storylines. love it.

Jason...what happened to Dr. Amber (Erika Page)? Was her appearance (in May) just a one-time deal?

For the ratings to be down, this show is a lot better balanced than most soaps.

Looks like it. I never heard of anything much planned for her. You can never tell with guest stars though. Characters like Eugene Bradford, Larry Welch, Celeste, Bart, Rolf, etc... all started out as just a one-time thing and lasted years.

Kayla and Steve are being horribly wasted. I'm so disappointed. I bet Mary Beth and Stephen aren't very thrilled. They're pretty much getting Higley's "Jack and Jen" treatment. Once a week, at best.

l,ets not forget how much they were on for the 5 months...

I think I'm just annoyed at the fact that the characters were never allowed to deal with the Ava fall-out.

And yeah, they dominated for most of the time they've been back on the canvas so ... it's not like I'm upset they are being sidelined but I think they could be given something more substantial. And hell, they weren't even at the Brady/Horton BBQ!
