Let's not forget Charity Rahmer.

Tracey Bregman has been on Y&R and B&B since 83.

Ellen Demming played Meta on GL from 52 till 74.

Kathleen Widdoes was Emma Snyder on ATWT from 85.

Y&R's top 4 are Jeanne Cooper (December 1973), Doug Davidson (May 1978), Melody Thomas Scott (March 1979), and Eric Braeden (February 1980).

Melody was technically off-contract last year. And it wasn't the first time, was it?

But...I do believe these little lapses should be overlooked.

Ellen Demming last appeared on GL as Meta in 1974 but I'm pretty sure Meta and Bruce left Springfield for NYC in 1971. Ellen made visits afterwards.

Kassie DePaiva on OLTL: December 17th, 1993-January 13th, 2012 (or her tape dates: November 29th, 1993-November 18th, 2011) . Just a little over 18 years airwise, and just short of 18 years tapewise!

He was fired during the serial killing story. His current run is only 8 years. Had it not been for that, he'd be at 31

Then is it Alison Sweeney?

Erika Slezak 1971-2012
