I don't see you have Sophia Pernas(Kelly Spencer) listed for the yearly count or am I overlooking it?

If my math isn't completely off this means that one third (33%) of the contract members on B&B had zero appearances in December!

Some of the recurring/guest actors are missing from The list, I can go back and and add those names a little later

Yeah we haven't seen Liam since mid November(YAY WOOHOO) same with Sheila and Deacon. 

No follow up to some thing's either. No follow up to Steffy punching Sheila. No Follow up to Poppy possibly knowing Bill and so on. This Eric is dying story was so bad and it ate the show for over a month

JMW for the WIN! Emmy winner, Baby #4 and even with Maternity Leave leads the year.

I feel like ever since the writer's strike ended and BB came back, the show has gone back to that one storyline dominates everything formula which I am so not a fan of.

I feel like the show missed a beat with Sheila and Eric's illness, too.

 

@1974mdp Agreed on Sheila/Eric. Certainly, there could've been a scene between them. It wasn't that long ago when Eric/Sheila were reconnected and, ironically, Steffy shot Sheila. Has that even been mentioned since the Steffy/Finn shootings?

In a perfect world, Sheila would've somehow been Eric's unofficial nurse - even for a short period of time. So much history that could've been mined - especially with years of relevant archival footage.

ITA. I think it would have been interesting if Eric had had a memory lapse and still thought Sheila was his wife. So many great flashbacks could have been used.

With Paris appearing in all of 11 episodes last year, is she really still on contract? If so, I wonder why???

Diamond White isn't even in the updated opening. I wonder if she still is on contract?
