Oh, thank you. I went back/forth with using the Spoiler/not using the Spoiler and just felt the desire to go ahead and do it.

You're welcome, and I know! It still feels surreal.

You're very welcome.

@Liberty City, for rankings, it should be like this:

1. Daphnée Duplaix (Nicole Dupree Richardson) – 5

then

7. Tamara Tunie (Anita Dupree) – 4

then

17. Jibre Hordges (Jacob Hawthorne) – 3

etc.

I made the edit.

It works aesthetically to use spoiler tags -- but then people have to log in to read.
For many years, I would read the SON monthly episode rankings -- for many years before I joined SON.  (If I quoted it elsewhere, I would still credit SON).

Also, the fancy opening font image doesn't display for those not logged in.
But that doesn't really matter at all.

This is what I currently see if not logged in (on all browsers)..
Logged out and then checked this thread on PC browsers and phone browsers, and it's the same for all.  I made this screengrab:

Does SON traditionally credit background actors in episode rankings?
@JAS0N47  sometimes credits U/5 actors for DAYS if they are known; but not sure about background actors?

The actor Aviyon Gilliam (bartender at end of episode 1) watching the Dani/Hayley confrontation

He tweeted that he has episodes coming up.

More info about him on the behind-the-scenes thread at this post:

Wonder when they'll start listing all the writers. Gregori Martin posted the following on social media on 2/24.  Sure sounds like he's either no longer on staff or won't be after season 1?  Odd choice of past tense when you just launched in your new job if it's long term and in the present.....Thoughts?

'A new kinda Dynasty hits the television airwaves today! It’s finally the premiere of @michelevaljean’s @BeyondtheGates.
It was a blast being part of the writing team and helping launch season 1 with this stellar creative team! Catch all the drama weekdays on CBS. Streaming on Paramount +
This is a first collaboration between the NAACP and Proctor and Gamble so feeling very proud!
Thank you Michele, Sheila, Julie, Bob and all deciding parties who allowed me to be a small part of it.
It takes a village so congrats to all the very talented folks involved!'

@Errol already said Michele Val Jean wrote the first 5 episodes entirely by herself from scratch. I am sure that was by design and other writers will start to be credited soon, like next week.

MVJ is one of the few writers left who has experience HW-ing, scriptwriting, editing, and writing breakdowns. With this being her creation and likely not having much of a writing team from inception, it makes sense she would write the first batch of episodes herself.

For the episode rankings I compile, I use the 5 episodes for a character as the cut-off to make the rankings. So the only people I list in the monthly/yearly rankings are characters who have appeared in at least 5 episodes of Days. That's why Felicity Greene, for example, wasn't listed in the rankings for many months until she hit 5 episodes (I then go back and add her retroactively to the earlier months). I did make an exception for Amy Choi, since I didn't want to go back into 2024 and add in her episodes, knowing from that parking clearance leak that she would still be playing the role once Rachel Boyd took over as Sophia, so I put Amy on the list immediately (more so just to make things less annoying for me). If Amy hadn't debuted until January 1, 2025, then I would have waited to add her to the rankings (retroactively) until she had been in 5 episodes.

I also exclude Body Doubles from the rankings. 

But anyone not on the rankings lists themselves, the characters in only 1 to 4 episodes (such as Savannah the stripper) are listed on the cast charts.

In the overall rankings you have Brandon Claybon as Martin Hamilton. Everywhere else, you have him correctly listed as Martin Richardson.

Also, thank you so very much for compiling this information for us.

    • Which could make sense , except that we have seen Mariah function for years w/o any real residue pain from her upbringing. Josh decides to randomly make it a thing, when a good writer might foreshadow that for months. It's not like he's just arrived at the show. He's been there for years . Everything seems to be thought out only a few weeks ahead. It's like Phyllis all freaky from being kidnapped when she has done a million other things that didn't seem to bother her at all.
    • Unrelated, sort of, but he looks absolutely nothing like Amanda Setton or Dominic Zamprogna so it's kind of hilarious they decided to make Gio their kid.  It's very clear this was not the original origin story for Gio when they cast him. He is a very handsome guy though. 
    • I tend to agree, although going back to OLTL, Frank has so often cast guys who are meant to be attractive yet come across as cold and dead, I'm surprised he managed to get one who has a bit of a pulse.
    • For all I care, the boy can parade around in a g-string.  It won't make this show suck any less.
    • AMC was about a decade later so things may have changed by then, although maybe they never approached her anyway. She joined Santa Barbara in 1985, when they didn't seem interested in bringing back Hope. SB ended in late 1992, so JFP could have asked her back, but I doubt she did. For as much as JFP clearly had some use for Rick Hearst given that she hired him on GH and kept him around as often as she could, I don't think she ever used Alan-Michael well. I can't see Elvera as Delia, but she could have worked well as Faith - she had a glimpse of a strong personality alongside warmth, which only one Faith ever managed (Catherine Hicks).
    • IIRC, FC reruns aired for awhile on Lifetime, way before the network became the Women in Peril Channel, lol.
    • PAM!! YES!!! You have jogged my memory. She worked at Cedars. She's mentioned in a write-up of Tim's history in the show. It says she was a nurse, but I seem to remember she was a secretary at Cedars, working for either Ed or Sarah. (It's almost 50 years ago, so I definitely could be wrong). I'm certain she was an unwed mother. I recall reading an interview with the actress, Maureen Silliman (I looked it up, that's her correct name, LOL). She started on the show just before the Dobsons started writing it. She was shocked to get a script that said her character had been pregnant since she hit town. I remember a scene where she told Tim she was going to leave SF for a better job for her daughter's sake (really, I think she was upset he was serious about Rita). I don't remember them getting married and leaving town, but according to "Who's Who in Springfield" that's how the characters were written out. Mattson did All My Children for several years, so she might have been persuadable. Here's an interesting factoid I recently learned on these message boards: Elvera Roussel was in the running to play Delia on RH when the show first hit the air. How wild is it that Mattson played Delia for a while? (Though from what I saw of her performance, she was miscast). It's hard to know if Roussel would have been a good Delia. You'd think she would have been better suited to playing Faith Coleridge, but who knows? She didn't get to show a whole lot of range as Hope.
    • If I were to do an EON reboot, I think I would start at the beginning, with Mike Karr leaving the police force in order to begin a new career as an attorney, and dealing with his wife, Sara's, crooked family.
    • I don't know if it was the writing or performance but I felt like we finally got to see the real Ted. Especially the way he talked to Martin when confronted, felt like a completely different person. He felt darker and like a total liar who was mad he got caught. I expected him to be remorseful and want to apologize to each and every family member who he came into contact with but he seemed like he didn't care. It completely changed how I view him and it makes me wonder if this is the direction they're going to take Ted in with the recast.
