Great job.  Thanks for doing this. Is there a list of the all time episode counts anywhere?

[jcar03]

I only have to 2000.  I have not found any reliable daily recaps or transcripts for any year prior to that.

I believe one of the main reasons episode counts fell for some *ahem* actors is due to episode guarantees being reduced in contracts over the years and Frank Valentini taking over as EP in 2012. Previously, you could see out of hand it was to have actors appear in roughly 95% of every episode aired in a single year.

[Dion]

I remember that for years and years Sonny would always seem to have Wednesdays off...no such luck with Jason though lol

Thanks @jcar03

Wow TempJoss IMO is a huge step up from EM. I wish we could keep her
