Joshua was soooo close to being #1 for the year...and then December happened. LOL....thanks for the list. I love the top 5.

[Andrew]

Thanks for this list, nice that Katherine, Gloria & Jill was used a lot this year!.

[dm.]

Esther, Jill and Kay had the highest amount of appearances since...... I don't know when! My archives go back to 2001, but I don't know when was the last time either of them had so many appearances before.

[sheilaforever]

Should be since 2000.

They were even higher in 1998 and 1999 but still - what atreat this year has been for those three actresses. Fabulous material in their 3rd/2nd decade on the show... And viewers seem to be digging it: for a while now CBS.com and Global often have screencaps of Jill/Kay/Victor to highlight their episode recaps/links...

The ep count pretty much shows what to be expected when one actually watched the show. There was great balance and basically it was a vet feast all year. Michelle Stafford and Amelia Heinle are to high on that list but just me being picky.

[jcar03]

Well, Kate Linder had more episode in one month recently then she had all of last year!

[lmfan]

The balance was much better in the second half of the year, but way too much Newmans. I can see Victor and Nikki since they are the stars but Josh Morrow and Amelia Henle being that high? Please.

They need to also have CLB on more than his other family members. No way should Michael be on fewer episodes than Gloria, Kevin and especially Jeffrey. I think Maria Bell is finally treating him more like lead based on this past month. Let's hope she doesn't make him mere supporting again. Because of his role, he will always be supporting others' stories, but an actor as good as him should be used as more than a prop which was how he was used from January to July of 2008.

I like the increased time for Jill and Katherine also. Thanks for the count. It is always interesting.

[dm.]

It really isn't that surprising or anything to have that many Newmans, it's almost always been like that way. But I wouldn't have anything against a little less Morrow and Heinle.

[Becki]

The only thing that really surprised me from the yearly totals was that Chris Engen was so high on the list. It didn't seem like he was on all that much to me.
