        How did you count Billy Miller? Was he counted as just Drew or Jake/Jason/Drew also are Jason's #'s purely Steve Burton's appearances or are they a combination of Billy/Steve?

        Editing a comment
        Billy’s counts were retroactively all adjusted after he was revealed to be Drew (whereas previously he was counted as Jason). So he’s one of the ones that caused a bit of a headache for me after that reveal and having to change it ?

        Drew the character has a different count due to the body double that played “Jake” before Billy was unbandaged, Steve’s three flashback appearances pre-surgery, and CM’s casting.

        Thank you for the update.
        I am surprised that Rick Sprigfield's Noah Drake is nowhere to be found, thought he would make the list with his appearances in the 1980s and the 2000s/2010s.
        Interesting that Lexi Ainsworth's Kristina made 479 appearances, and the other Kristina who was only on for about a year, plus child performers made another 300.
        And if you only look at the numbers of actor appearances that are still on the show, Maurice Bernard is followed by a long list of ladies now, thanks to Steve Burton and Ingo Rademacher who have left recently.

          Noah is right outside of the top 150 at 152! He got pushed out as a bunch of characters had enough counts to push them into those higher numbers.

          For Kristina, the breakdown of other actors was Kali Rodriguez (96), Lindsey Morgan (76), Emma & Sarah Smith (75), Kara & Shelby Hoffman (41), and an unnamed baby (12).

        I also just double-checked, in the history of each of these yearly counts, 2021 was the first year where the top 2 performers/characters were female.

                This is an amazing compilation! Wow! And so interesting to see folks like Felicia and Bobbie still so high on the list since they have been so back burnered for so long. Just goes to show how deep their roots in the show really are. And it still rots my socks that there has been NO show devoted to Alan Q, who has been gone for over 10 years and is still in the top ten!

                    4 as a character; 3 as an actress …meaning more than one actor played another character. But even better for Jacklyn.

                    Yep that would be Carly, who’s been played by 4 actresses. Laura Wright still has about 900 eps to catch up to JZ.
