Great that Anna & Tony finally where used, plus great that Max, Melanie, Chelsea, Daniel & Stephanie where more underused. Nick has had little appearences this year but who cares, he is boring!.

Thanks for this list!........

Days has had a really good balance for the last few months. Some chars will be on a fair amount of time for a few months then less for a month or so. it all works out well.
