DAYS: January 2006 Episode Rankings

[JAS0N47]

Toups, who did these episode rankings through December 2005, has asked that I continue that tradition for both "Days of Our Lives" and "Passions" this year. I've been tracking episodes since 1988 and started my Days website in 1998. If you have yet to visit it, please do at http://members.aol.com/jason47b If you happen to share this list with anyone, please credit my website for the info. The Passions rankings will be released tomorrow. Thanks and now on to the January rankings.

2006 Episode Rankings. Here's how many episodes each actor has appeared in this year (1/1/06-1/31/06), out of a total of 21 episodes. Ties are noted with an asterisk. Actors who appeared in at least 5 episodes are listed, along with those appearing in other years but less than 5 episodes this year. Starting this year, an alphabetical listing of credited guest stars who do not qualify will also be included below the ranking.

you know it really did seem that Renne(Lexi) appeard in more than 10 episode.

Can't believe that the two officer and Lois who are all recurring appeard in more episodes than most of the contract actors/actress.

[DrewH]

I can already see where this is going. By May, Rachel Melvin will be at number one.

[Mitchapalooza]

Good to see Alfonso and Reckell in the top 2 spots.

[FanSoAp07]

Fairly good balance.

[PhoenixRising05]

Not too bad-I hate those rookie cops though. I hope we don't seem them again.

So good to see Bope at the top. Melvin is expected since she is part of their story.

Renee felt like she was in alot more but we should be seeing more of her too.

Not bad though-much better then this time last year.

[Keith]

For DAYS this is decent.

[DaysnPassionsFan]

They're definitely building up their resumes

[David_Vickers]

Monday was only 1-30. How do you know who's gonna appear on DAYS on today 1-31?

[Chanel]

by reading the EE(early edition) or prevuze

[PRFAN]

Awesome The way it should be

[xDaysAddict]

ugh.why does Jason is always at the top of those lists? he's been there for years.he is a terrible actor who gets way too much air time.

Matt and Missy should be higher as well.hopefully they will be during the upcoming months.

[PRFAN]

I Disagree

I Agree.

I Agree

Mulder: I like to get the rankings out as soon as possible, so I use the last day of the month information from the Early Edition and Passions previews, but I will make alterations this afternoon as needed after watching the episodes myself. I'm not 100% sure that the baby Jane appears today on Passions (perhaps you just see Gwen holding a blanket), so I'll deduct an episode from her today if that happens. Also, I'm sure the clerk that flirts with Patrick on Days today will be credited at the end of today's show, so I'll add his name to the credited guest list later this afternoon when I find out who it is. But from the info the preview pages provide, other than those 2 items, the lists should be 99.9% correct and I don't see a reason to not get them out a day early just for those 2 minor corrections.

[David_Vickers]

Cool, Jason. Didn't mean to piss anyone off, just was wondering.
