what a fantastic, balances list. Rogers in the top 10?

this is also why i dont get it when people say the teens are gearing up for a takeover. they are hardly on!

Reynolds & Jones need to be on far more.

More Lauren Koslow, please.

Otherwise, fabulous balance.

Rogers in the top 10, tying with Alison Sweeney! FANTASTIC!

It's great to see Suzanne Rogers, Louise Sorel and Leann Hunley in the top 10. I'd like to see more Koslow and Mascolo and think they will probably be higher on the list in February with Phillip's wedding. It's a shame that Days hardly uses Renee Jones and James Reynolds.

I agree with DaytimeFan, more Lauren Koslow, also more Joseph Mascolo!

This is a really balanced list, I'm glad to see Suzanne Rogers and Leann Hunley in top 10. Wow, where has Caroline been?
