Thanks @YRfan23! I think Donna appeared once or twice last month but maybe I’m misremembering I’d have to go back and look for sure. 

A second month with no Wyatt lol. Not that I’m complaining but I suppose that is probably just about it with Wyatt and the Fulton ladies now that both Bowden and Richards are off contract. Or next time Wyatt does appear he’ll announce him and Flo had an offscreen breakup lol.

[YRfan23]

Your welcome! It's always hard to be certain, but I don't think we saw Donna since around Thanksgiving? I could be wrong though. 

Not only Wyatt, but we haven't seen much of Bill either....For as much as Thudley seems to value Don Diamont and Dollar Bill as a character, I wouldn't be surprised if he gives him a sudden illness or something to kill him off....

[soapfan770]

Maybe that’s what I’m thinking of or thinking Donna was alongside Katie during a visit from Brooke about family drama. Like I said I maybe misremembering.

The Spencer clan has petered out for sure.  I wouldn’t be shocked if Thudley has finally become bored with them….I remember when Thudley wrote out the entire Marone family in a single episode back in 2012 out of the blue lol. 

[sheilaforever]

For B&B this has been a pretty balanced year. Liam is relatively low in the totals, John McCook and Rena Sofer has way more action than to be expected. And of course: Sheila, Deacon, Taylor all back is a stroke of genius.

 

EDIT: is wouldn’t mind for Wyatt to get the axe… Don Diamont and Heather Tom surely had their contracts renegotiated. There’s no way that they still got pay for 2 eps a week and barely appeared in 60 episodes the whole year. They should stay around on this lower capacity, though, cause there is now way for either of them to return to Y&R.

@sheilaforever Not sure about Diamont with Tom it could be the case. I know Heather Tom has been directing episodes of Dynasty this past season and has done a wonderful job. Given that show is filmed in Atlanta I’m quite sure that took up a lot of HT’s time. Given Katie hasn’t had any decent story in years except for when Thudley needs some Emmy bait material I doubt she is losing any sleep over decreased airtime. 

[FrenchBug82]

As a matter of fact, I have always been under the impression that the low work load is part of why HT is sticking with B&B. She wants the freedom to do other things - mothering and other projects - and light workdays and only being frontburner for a few weeks a couple of times a year work for her.

It is a horrible waste for the rest of us because she SHOULD be one of the pillars of Y&R as Eric Braeden turns 80yo but that's another story.

I was more surprised to see DD"s Bill be barely used this year. He had been driving story for years and a lot longer than I would have foreseen. But after what happened at Y&R and his unexpected second wind, I figure he is grateful to have a job and enjoying the ride.

[jcar03]

Let us know if there is a mistake.  I don't actually watch just use transcripts/recaps and I could easily miss someone (heck, I miss people on GH and I watch that one).

[Slutty Shauna Fan]

I'm very behind at the moment so I'm not up to December yet but no Shauna for December

 She's gone for good then.

 

I guess the positive is less Bill and a lot less Wyatt. Long may this trend continue for 2022.

[YRfan23]

Denise Richards was recently dropped to recurring. 

[Slutty Shauna Fan]

I know but I still hoped that she'd be used at least occasionally going forward. 

 

Probably should count my lucky stars she lasted as long as she did given Bradley's attention span.

@YRfan23 Thanks for doing the stats.
Fyi, Katrina Bowden was listed in the closing credits through 3/12/2021 as "Florence Fulton".
And then changed to as "Florence Logan" since the credits of 3/29/2021. 
The character name was legally changed in episode of 3/25/2021 when Brooke, Donna, and Katie presented her with a surprise document with name change from Fulton to Logan.

Bowden was listed in the contract credits as "Logan" since 3/29/2021 until end of Nov. 2021 when she was removed from contract credits.  But the character name change wasn't updated in the episode count archive. (I didn't check every week, so I'm only assuming that the credits showed her consistently as Logan).

LOL, I didn't notice it before, probably because I didn't want this retcon to her being Storm's daughter.

My guess is Darin Brooks is probably out soon and I'm not particularly sad about it. 

[soapfan770]

Apparently Bowden and Brooks are currently doing other projects with Bowden currently filming an indie flick while Brooks got cast as a lead in an upcoming AppleTV show called Amber Brown.

I very much doubt either Bowden or Brooks are going to be rushing back to B&B soon.

[YRfan23]

Neither are needed, let Wyatt and Flo ride off in the sunset, or better yet, have them break up offscreen, and both leave town to 'reflect".
