DAYS: December 2023 Episode Rankings & Stats

[DaytimeFan]

I fear for Lauren Koslow on recurring. 2 episodes in December. 1 of which was for Christmas, where her absence would have been glaring. 

I wonder if the exit of AA might be helpful for her in the long run?

[Lye-C]

She needs to be fully written out. She hasn’t added anything to the show IN OVER TWENTY YEARS!!!!

He worked at Tuscany.

Damn.. Chloe has been in this show for nearly 25 years and yet Rage appeared in more episodes. Talk about overused lol

@JAS0N47  Can you post the December and Year End stats for the directors and writers, so I can compare it to my stats?

Thanks!

[Antoyne]

That was pretty troubling to me as well as a huge Koslow/Kate fan.

[DaytimeFan]

It's going to be hard to tell until we see:

1. Episodes where AA is no longer involved;

2. Episodes where the Writer's Strike is over. 

The December numbers for her are dreadful and I hope things turn around.

@Toups listed for the Dec. 28, 2023 end credits:
Writers’ Assistants
Tyler Topits
Kirk Doering
Isaac Francis Tackman

I assume that the show listed the writers assistants in error, since they would have been on strike. @JAS0N47 has the show been listing the writers assistants since the strike material began airing earlier in December?  Or should the assistants' work still be reflected in the credits?

Doering on the strike line, May 10, 2023, via Christopher Sean ig stories:

They've continued to be listed since the writers were removed from the credits. That position isn't part of the WGA: https://www.latimes.com/entertainment-arts/business/story/2023-09-22/sag-aftra-strike-writers-assistants

That's an additional position that Kirk has, so I guess he was still doing that part of his job, but not writing for the show.
