Wow...when was the last time Esther appeared in six episodes in one month?!

Ha IKW?!? KL must've been in heaven having that many episodes in like...15 years or so? 

Happy for Kate but wondering why so many appearances for Esther?

It's not like she is in the midst of a story.

I'm sure Bryton and Camryn are now recurring. Too many months of low numbers.

Adam and Chelsea deserve the same fate.

 

Yay for Kate!!

 

I'm sure Melissa will come rolling back in no time.

So odd to see Adam, Chelsea, Nick, Sharon with less episodes in a month than Esther lol. I know that will change because they have storylines coming up but still. 
 

I like that Esther is around still and I think her presence is good here and there but I have no interest in seeing her more than once or twice a month.

I’m also surprised there was so little Christel Khalil given the number for Cane. Billy Flynn really should’ve just been a new character or someone else (like Brooks Prentiss).

People were talking about actors/characters they could easily cut in the Directors & Writers thread to open up some budget. Mark Grossman and Melissa Claire Egan would be easy enough to dismiss. Let Adam and Chelsea ride out in the sunset together. They have been played out as characters for YEARS and no longer have a raison d’être.

I wouldn't mind if they moved Bryton over to Beyond the Gates, especially if the show isn't going to use him.

That's because they're aiming Billy at Michelle.

He could’ve been anybody if they just needed a set of semi-fresh male genitals for Phyllis.

BTG does not need his dreary Devon in Fairmont Crest.

Tbf he should have been just about anybody (or working at Dumas) rather than snatching every ounces of storyline from one of the first dynamic black actor (and character) that writer has come up with in ages.
