Ugh.

[slick jones]

Yup, I knew they'd be 1&2...it is their show, after all...goes out and jumps off bridge...

Congrats to Ari Zucker who on December 22nd became the 18th member of 2000+ actor club by appearing in her 2000th episode! Via her appearance, the character of Nicole Walker also becomes only the 20th member of the 2000+ character club! Congrats Ari and well deserved!!

A few extra notes on movement in Dec 2014 of those actors/characters appearing in at least 1000 episodes.

1) The character of Lucas (with 2020 episodes) passes the character of Doug (with 2019 episodes) to become the 18th most appearing character in Days history! This knocks Doug down to 19th most appearing character.

2) The character of Abby (with 1018 episodes) passes the characters of Vivian (1008 episodes) and Susan Hunter (1006) episodes to become the 46th most appearing character in Days history. This knocks Vivian and Susan down to 47th and 48th respectively.

3) Just a minor note, but Guy Wilson (with 108 episodes) has also surpassed Dillon Patton (with 106 episodes) to become the 4th most recognizable Will Horton.

Here's to a Happy and Healthy 2015! For both all of us and our show as we celebrate the 50th Anniversary!
