[P.J.]

Three months on, and Maura can't beat out that twit Summer in appearances. OY.

[soapfan770]

Great--at the start of the year Braeden wasn't even a cast member now look where he is at.

They should be ashamed for these numbers, ESPECIALLY for Williams!

[DRW50]

I'm surprised Tonya was in even that many episodes.

[dm.]

Just look at Bryton's numbers. 20 appearances for a contract player? Not even long running ABC veterans get this kind of treatment.

[DeeeDee]

Coincidences.

It's all coincidences.

[ER Tosh]

Is Kate Linder on contract?

[ATWT_GL_fan]

Well it's actually a good thing cause people would be bashing Maura for having so much air-time like on ATWT. I do want to see alot more of her, but I am tired of all the bashing for a very good actress. At-least she has a job. They should hire Michael Park and pair them up or make them related or something. How are you liking Maura as Diane?

[dm.]

Yes. Since 1986.

[P.J.]

I love Maura. I'm slowly getting invested in Diane. I'm not thrilled at the story or where it seems to be headed. I'm trying to have faith that Y&R will use her talents to their advantage, but IMO, the show's a complete, bloated mess.

[RavenWhitney]

interesting to compare to 2009 totals..huge reductions for Jeanne Cooper and others...cuts of up to 30 or more episodes...only major players who increased were Michelle Stafford, Tracy Bregman and Christian LeBlanc.

[DaytimeFan]

It is very telling. Jeanne Cooper lost nearly 40 episodes, Jess Walton 20, as well as many other actors.

[dm.]

Here is the difference between this and last year.

37. Michael Fairman (Patrick Murphy) 41 (-37)

38. Darius McCrary (Malcolm Winters) 39 (+37)

WONDERFUL, HIRE A BAD ACTOR/MISCAST HIM AND TAKE AWAY 37 EPISODES FROM THE ONLY SENIOR WHO'S MARRIED TO THE MOST POPULAR VETERAN ON THE SHOW..GOOD WORK MAB

47. Bryton James (Devon Hamilton) 20 (-19)

LET'S CUT MORE PERFORMANCES FROM THE TALENTED AFRICAN AMERICAN HUNK AND GIVE IT TO DARIUS!

60. Thom Bierdz (Phillip Chancellor III) 11 (-14)

WHO HAD A SANE MOMENT IN THE WRITER'S ROOM AND SPARED US 14 MORE EPISODES OF THIS ARTIST AND LOVELY PERSON WHO CAN'T ACT? THANKS FOR THIS SMALL GIFT AT LEAST

[ATWT_GL_fan]

I agree it is a bloated mess. I am wanting the same thing for Maura but I don't think it will happen.
