[ChitHappens]

Paevey's eppy count makes me barf!

[AlexElizabeth]

Eww at Easton and Paevey being in the top 5. I honestly don't feel like Easton is on nearly that much though. But Paevey in the top 3 is just insane.

RIDICULOUS that Stafford is that high when she only started in June. She was on more in 6 months than some of the contract cast was in an entire year.

Mo was in so many more episodes than the other people at the top of the list... just crazy.

[cassadine1991]

Talk about an unbalance

[DaytimeFan]

But how nice for Jackie Zeman to have 37 episodes!

[quartermainefan]

35. Ian Buchanan (Duke Lavery) – 43

38. Kin Shriner (Scott Baldwin) – 40

41. Jacklyn Zeman (Bobbie Spencer) – 37
42. Lynn Herring (Lucy Coe) – 36
50. Robin Mattson (Heather Webber) – 31
51. Leslie Charleson (Monica Quartermaine) – 27
54. Kristina Wagner (Felicia Scorpio) – 24

That's pretty good for the non-contract vets. Not a single one of them would have been given three seconds under the previous regime, and here we are in 2015 and Duke Lavery is fronting the mob for Sonny. I wish Felicia was on more but other than that I am quite pleased with how the show treats its army of oldtimers.

[cassadine1991]

they are only used to prop their creations or to window dress

[jcar03]

This year was Jackie Zeman's highest appearance since 2007 when she appeared 42 times.

[quartermainefan]

Which is a lot better than the glory days this forum clamors for, when they were only brought on to be killed.

[Cheap21]

The difference between 1st to 2nd to 3rd place is astounding

his airtime took a nose dive after they moved Sam out of his sphere. He really hasnt had much story this fall outside of being played by Ava

[cassadine1991]

Whoa,

[quartermainefan]

Not a single actor on this top 10 list ever contributed a single episode to GH's successs. This is the legacy of Guza that not a single remnant from the time when the show actually had more than six people watching were on. Each and every one of these people could disappear tomorrow and the show would be improved.

[Cheap21]

Maurice has appeared in 78% of the episodes in the last 12 year

Assuming the show doesnt get cancelled and she's still on, Kelly Monaco is set to surpass Steve Burton for that #2 spot within the next 2 years

IDA with that. The Sonny/Brenda/Jax story was highly successful and popular in the 90s. I think its a discredit to Maurice and Ingo to disregard their contributions to the show. The case could be made for many of the rest of that list, especially Rebecca Herbst as well
