19 - Paul, Meg

17 - Emily

14 - Nick

13 - Jennifer, Gwen, Hal, Will

12 - Carly, Dusty, Holden, Jack

11 - Lily, Luke

10 - Barbara

9 - Casey, Henry, Maddie

8 - Katie, Susan

7 - Mike

6 - Kevin, Lucinda, Margo

4 - Faith, Keith, Lisa, Minister

3 - Emma, Kim, Tom

2 - Burt, Nate, Dr. Shiller, Java Manager

1 - Bob, Sean, Daniel, Eli, Parker, Skylar, Vanessa, Mrs. Lombard, Meg's Maid

Nick had more airdates than Nancy, Bob, Kim, Lisa and Tom combined.

Just a question: Which episodes did you count (I took them from January 2th to January 31st).

[Adam]

Its pretty sick how within a week he was involved in many of the major storylines.... lol I hate him.

[darraholic]

I love seeing Marie Wilson at #1

[WTGH]

I don't have a problem with Marie Wilson being at #1.

I love how she was frontburner for January, but has been MIA for a while. It makes me want to see more of Meg and not have her overexposed.

Still too much Will and Gwen.

[Ms. Walsh]

I'm glad to see these a little balanced, but still...

these are awful. Can we all say BACKBURNER please?!?!

I don't mind seeing Paul, Meg, and Emily up top, though, because they do have the main storyline right now, so it's understandable.

[SpiritualJunkie]

I'm happy with the Top 3 but the #4 spot makes me go WTF? All three need to be backburned ASAP or given personality transplants.

[dragonflies]

No one has a problem with Marie Wilson being #1 but yet Jennifer, Jesse and Jordan are overexposed? *scratches head*

Anyways it is sick how much screentime Nick has had, he's got no purpose whatsoever.

[SpiritualJunkie]

That's because Meg is actually an interesting and likable character.

On the other hand, I find Gwen, Will, and Nick annoying. Gwen & Will have had too much airtime for characters who whine about the same stupid things day in and day out and make the same stupid decisions time and time again. Nick has already proven to be a boring, one-note character in the short time he's been on the show. I know Gwen & Will don't have as much airtime now but they are still boring and each day is one day too much for me.

I have no problem with a character having tons of airtime just as long as they remain interesting.

ICAM!!! I do disagree about Nick though- it's not that I like his character, but I've certainly encountered people like him in life. That makes him a bit interesting for me. While I still love Gwen & Will individually, I've officially jumped off the Gwen & Will boat- their relationship is unhealthy on so many levels. I hope the show actually explores that angle of it, which it seems they are with Barbara's recent tumble.

[Ms. Walsh]

Meg is enjoyable to watch, and as long as she's not front-burner for too long, I don't mind her being #1.

However, Nick, Gwen, and (unfortunately) Will are annoying as hell. If Gwen and Will separated, I think I would enjoy them. Before they got together as a couple, I actually liked both of them. Their relationship is just wrong, and I find it hard to feel bad for them. In fact, I don't feel sorry for them...they've brought everything on themselves. Nick, on the other hand, could be paired with Nancy Hughes and I still wouldn't find him slightly interesting.
