Phil leads by 5.

Would Sasha now be classed as a recurring character now that we haven't seen her for months on end?

Happy to see Phil still leading

Why not, AJ's wife is recurring with an appearance of just one episode. I'm not sure how that works.

Come on Phil!!

AJ appeared on Tuesday but wasn't on the cast list. I'll amend that in this update.

Phil leads by 2. Chyred depart. Ava will make her debut on the next update.

Really hope Phil beats Derek in the count!

Derek will be gone by new years

exactly, which means even if Derek tops the chart it won't count if he's a departed character? As surely his last episode is on Christmas Day? Having said that, it isn't confirmed...

but either way, I want Phil to win

Thanks for the update again.

Yes because the initial thought of copying and pasting the cast lists off the net onto a forum was inspirational. The likes of Einstein and Newton were shaking in their graves when the character count first appeared on ww.

Roxy appeared on Thursday but wasn't on the cast list. I'll amend that in this update.

Oh no Derek is top! At least he'll be gone by New Year I suppose Come on Phil!

I'm quite shocked Masood is only on 70 episodes Well the Masood's did have a slow start to the year I suppose...

Thanks for the update.

October: Lola, Phil & Chyred(14)

November: Derek & Max(15)

1 month to go....................

cant wait for the next update. cant see shirley catching up with phil though lol

Derek's pretty far ahead, even though he's leaving I wonder if he'll win- probably

TPTB weren't lying when the said that this would be Derek's year.

unless he is in january 1st he cant win.

Oh no Derek is 5 episodes ahead!
With there only being 17/18 episodes left of the year, I think the winner will be either Derek, Phil, Alfie or Max. (Lucy isn't involved in a storyline really so won't expect to see much of her)

Amendments: Tues: Alfie +1, Thurs.: Kat +1, Mo -1.

Derek still in the lead...

Thanks Dullag!

Go away Derek! Will not be happy if he wins 2012!

No probs Ian



If his last episode is xmas day but he still features in the most episodes, does he win the count?

no

He would though because he'd have appeared in more episodes than anyone else, even if he had gone

No he doesnt. He will be moved into the character failed to complete a full year/departed. Characters can only win a count if they can complete a full year
