VAUGHAN BECOMES JUST THE 137TH ACTOR TO LEAD MONTHLY RANKINGS IN 47 YEARS OF "DAYS": Greg Vaughan (Eric) was the monthly episode leader in December, his first full month with "Days." Vaughan joins 136 other actors in leading the monthly rankings over the course of the show’s 47 years on the air. Vaughan has already tied his predecessor, Jensen Ackles, who only led the rankings once during his time as Eric from 1997-2000, in September 1998.

SWEENEY’S 173 EPISODES ARE LEAST AMOUNT FOR LEADER SINCE 2008: Alison Sweeney (Sami) was the yearly leader in episodes with 173. This is the smallest amount for a leader since James Scott (EJ) led in 2008 with 166 episodes.

THREE NEW MEMBERS JOIN THE TOP 15 IN CLASS OF 2012…HALL EXTENDS RECORD TO 26 YEARS IN TOP 15: Deidre Hall extended her "Days" record by being in the top 15 episode appearances for the 26th time in her "Days" career. Drake Hogestyn (John) and Peter Reckell (Bo) have now both been in the top 15 for 23 years. The rest: Kristian Alfonso (Hope, 22nd time); Alison Sweeney (Sami, 19th time); Melissa Reeves (Jennifer, 16th time); Arianne Zucker (Nicole, 11th time); James Scott (EJ, 6th time); Shawn Christian (Daniel, 5th time); Galen Gering (Rafe, 4th time); Eric Martsolf (Brady, 4th time); Casey Deidrick (Chad, 2nd time). Three new members joined the top 15 for the first time: Camila Banus (Gabi), Kate Mansi (Abigail) and Chandler Massey (Will).

SWEENEY LEADS FOR THIRD TIME: Alison Sweeney (Sami) was the yearly leader in episodes for the 3rd time in her "Days" career. She also led for the year in 1998 and 2007.

SAMI & SWEENEY PASS MICKEY & CLARKE FOR 6TH PLACE ALL-TIME: Alison Sweeney (Sami) moved into 6th place on the all-time appearance list, passing John Clarke (Mickey). Also, the character of Sami Brady (including all actresses) passed the character of Mickey Horton (including all actors) for 6th place all-time on the character list.

THREE SET CAREER HIGHS: Of those in at least their second full year on the show, Camila Banus (Gabi), Casey Deidrick (Chad) and Chandler Massey (Will) each appeared in their most episodes ever in 2012.

MARLENA MINUS 40: The character of Bo Brady currently leads all "Days" characters, with 4,086 appearances. Marlena is currently just 40 episodes behind, at 4,046 appearances. If Marlena appears in 41 episodes (before and if Bo returns to Salem), then Marlena will be the new leader in total character appearances.

ROGERS NEEDS TWO FOR 2,500!  Suzanne Rogers (Maggie) needs just 2 more episodes to be just the 10th actor in "Days" history to appear in at least 2,500 episodes. Rogers will join that exclusive group in January 2013, the same year that she celebrates her 40th anniversary with the show. She debuted as Maggie on August 20, 1973.

LIKE MOTHER, LIKE SON: Bryan Dattilo (Lucas) leads his "mom", Lauren Koslow (Kate) by just one episode on the all-time list. Dattilo has appeared in 1,929 episodes, while Koslow has appeared in 1,928 episodes.

A TALE OF TWO JOES: Joseph Mascolo (Stefano) has passed Joseph Gallison (Neil) for 19th place on the all-time appearance list.

HEY THERE, PARTNER, I’M LEADING BY ONE! Roman Brady has appeared in 2,331 episodes and Abe Carver has appeared in 2,330 episodes. Roman’s stats do not include Drake Hogestyn, who officially is counted as John Black for all his episodes on the list.

RAFE JUMPS 10 SPOTS: In 2012, Rafe Hernandez passed the characters of Adrienne, Anna, Brandon, Chelsea, Eric, Eugene, Ivan, Justin, Robert and Stephanie on the all-time list.

MANSI IS NEW ABBY LEADER: Kate Mansi (Abigail) just passed Ashley Benson as the all-time leader for Abigail. Mansi has appeared in 176 episodes as Abby, while Benson appeared in 175 episodes.
