It's sad that a 3 year old has more airtime than people 40 or 50 years older than her.

Some commentary:

Lindsay, of course, leads the total for the past 6 months. Theresa truly drives the show, and Lindsay would be near impossible to replace.

Heidi Mueller continues to carry the stupid early 20-something love triangle/rectangle-whatever-storyline that is not really central in comparison to the other storylines, imo. Heidi makes that crap bearable.

Emily Harper has emerged as a lead actress. During June, she was featured in all of the episodes, and it seems like Fancy is now a central character after only 1 year - more so than she was before the Vendetta storyline. I think the actress/character has picked up the Mckenzie Westmore/Sheridan slack.

Looking at the list of actors/characters in the Top 15, the only ones with on screen charisma and acting talent are Eric Martsolf, Galen Gering, and Dylan Fergus.

It's obvious - at least to me - that the female actresses and characters are much better than the male ones.

[DaysnPassionsFan]

I love this!

Lindsay is definitely the star of the show.

And Nicole Cox (and Juliet Mills) deserves a lot more airtime than that!

[PhoenixRising05]

Lindsey is up where she belongs-she is irreplaceable and the show would be lost without her.

Emily Harper has taken over MW's role-she is now a lead actress and I am so happy because girl can act.

Tabitha and Endora are being used more which is nice but I want to see them more (and not in this mermaid crap which is being saved by Tabs, Endora, and Heidi Mueller as Kay who has improved immensely).

Galen caught up in episodes quick but he has improved as well, Him, Fergus, and Martsolf have some talent so them being up there I don't mind. I am not big on Ethan and Noah though.

Masters and Ross need to be on more but everything else is fine right now.

Happy Brook Kerr is being featured more (HOLY CRAP everyday in June ) and that Silvana Arias and Cathy Doe are also being featured more. Good for them-they deserve it.

[dawn9476]

If Galen hadn't been gone the first two months of the year, he would probably be ahead of Lindsey. I mean look how much he has been used since he got back. He has more shows than most of the cast and he did it in a 3 and a half month period as oppose to a full six months.

[psychofan]

The list doesn't look too bad. I expected for the Vendetta people to dominate and they pretty much did.

[dawn9476]

And look how bad they all tanked the ratings.

[SIPort]

lol

[Danni]

And look at how much that's associated with reveals and plot devices than actual characters...

[RionPassions]

I'd rather watch the characters heavily featured like Theresa, Ethan, Luis, Fancy, Noah, Simone, Paloma, Whitney, Kay, Tabby and Endora than Julian, Eve, TC, Katherine, Martin, and the rest of the older crowd. Passions has always been a soap for younger people featuring younger people.

[ericlizafan]

That's too much Theresa for me...but I love that Emily is getting a lot of airtime!
