Pretty sure it's Koslow at 18 years this year.

Yup - I believe once Ali last airs this fall the longest serving vet without taking a break will be Lauren.

Kristian Alfonso has been back consecutively since 1994. (Her 2002 maternity leave wouldn't count)

Wow I've been watching this a long time. I remember when Koslow was the newbie, fighting her way back to Salem from a fishing boat

Historians, is Ali the only actor to be on DAYS consecutively for the past 20 years? Wait, I guess it'd be her and Kristian Alfonso. All the others were briefly killed off in 2003/04.

Technically, yes. However, Suzanne Rogers, Peggy McCay and Jim Reynolds all retained their seniority positions in the credits after their brief "deaths" in 2003.

@Ali_Sweeney I KNOW, RIGHT???!! I may be Team Ali, Sami, Lumi, BUT I LOVED ALL THE PICS because each one told a story LONG LIVE SAMI! xoxoxo

Thanks for posting that here. I saw Ali's reply last night and posted it on my FB page. She was the person I was most hoping would get to see the photo montage before she leaves today, so I'm glad she got a chance to see it last night.

So glad Ali saw the tribute! And yup - you're right Gray Bunny - KA beats out LK by 2 years for uninterrupted time on the show.
