Your research skills are amazing, and I appreciate your posts. It's ironic that despite the minimizing of the Matthews family during the last twenty years of AW, still four of the five longest running characters were members of the Matthews clan. And even Rachel had a member of that family for a couple of years.
But if I'm not mistaken, Russ was written off for about a year near the end of Lemay's run as head-writer. And returned to Bay City while Tom King was writing. If I'm correct about that, Russ would be reduced to about 18 years. But would still be in the top five.
