I did this previously and dullagj2 has asked me if I would update it.
Last time I posted this I was missing a considerable chunk of the 90s and part of 87. This has now been filled in, and while I'm still missing odd weeks here and there, particularly in 1998, it's probably as complete as it ever will be. Based on credited appearances (missing months indicated) the characters who have appeared most in each year are: 1985: Pete Beale – 83 episodes 1986: Simon Wicks – 97 episodes 1987: Den Watts – 64 episodes (missing credits for September – November) 1988: Den Watts – 94 episodes 1989: Ian Beale & Dot Branning – 88 episodes 1990: Simon Wicks – 96 episodes 1991: Grant Mitchell – 88 episodes 1992: Sharon Rickman – 77 episodes (missing credits for December) 1993: Kathy Mitchell – 88 episodes 1994: Grant Mitchell – 109 episodes 1995: Mark Fowler – 132 episodes 1996: Grant Mitchell – 134 episodes 1997: Grant Mitchell – 110 episodes 1998: Peggy Mitchell – 85 episodes (missing credits for 4 months) 1999: Melanie Owen – 125 episodes 2000: Melanie Owen - 135 episodes 2001: Lynne Hobbs - 148 episodes 2002: Peggy Mitchell - 166 episodes 2003: Alfie Moon - 176 episodes 2004: Alfie Moon - 156 episodes 2005: Pauline Fowler - 133 episodes 2006: Peggy Mitchell - 135 episodes 2007: Peggy Mitchell & Stacey Branning - 135 episodes 2008: Jack Branning - 136 episodes 2009: Ronnie Branning - 115 episodes 2010: Max Branning - 126 episodes 2011: Alfie Moon – 118 episodes 2012: Derek Branning – 130 episodes For 1985 – 1989, the characters with the most appearances (minus the previously stated missing months) are: 1. Michelle Fowler (376 episodes) 2. Pete Beale (372 episodes) 3. Arthur Fowler (367 episodes) 4. Ian Beale (364 episodes) 5. Pauline Fowler (359 episodes) 6. Kathy Mitchell (355 episodes) 7. Den Watts (346 episodes) 8. Simon Wicks (337 episodes) 9. Dot Branning (329 episodes) 10. Sharon Rickman (328 episodes) For 1990 – 1999, the characters with the most appearances (minus the previously stated missing months) are: 1. Grant Mitchell (922 episodes) 2. Phil Mitchell (902 episodes) 3. Pat Evans (785 episodes) 4. Ricky Butcher (770 episodes) 5. Mark Fowler (768 episodes) 6. Ian Beale (749 episodes) 7. Kathy Mitchell (715 episodes) 8. Pauline Fowler (711 episodes) 9. Bianca Butcher (573 episodes) 10. Peggy Mitchell (522 episodes) For 2000 – 2009 the characters with the most appearances are: 1. Ian Beale (1034 episodes) 2. Phil Mitchell (1006 episodes) 3. Peggy Mitchell (963 episodes) 4. Billy Mitchell (919 episodes) 5. Dot Branning (901 episodes) 6. Pat Evans (861 episodes) 7. Jim Branning (851 episodes) 8. Mo Harris (819 episodes) 9. Garry Hobbs (800 episodes) 10. Pauline Fowler (770 episodes) For 2010 – Thursday 10th January 2013 the characters with the most credited appearances are: 1. Phil Mitchell (343 episodes) 2. Max Branning (327 episodes) 3. Roxy Mitchell (322 episodes) 4. Shirley Carter (299 episodes) 5. Ian Beale (290 episodes) 6. Jack Branning (285 episodes) 7. Alfie Moon (283 episodes) 8. Whitney Dean (275 episodes) 9. Zainab Khan (267 episodes) 10. Fat Boy Chubb (259 episodes) 11. Janine Butcher (257 episodes) 12. Billy Mitchell (252 episodes) 13. Masood Ahmed (240 episodes) 14. Denise Fox (238 episodes) 15. Kat Moon (237 episodes) For the entire history of the show, the characters with the most appearances are: 1. Ian Beale (2437 episodes) 2. Phil Mitchell (2251 episodes) 3. Pat Evans (2044 episodes) 4. Pauline Fowler (1840 episodes) 5. Dot Branning (1805 episodes) 6. Peggy Mitchell (1577 episodes) 7. Ricky Butcher (1374 episodes) 8. Sharon Rickman (1322 episodes) 9. Billy Mitchell (1188 episodes) 10. Mark Fowler (1159 episodes) 11. Kathy Mitchell (1073 episodes) 12. Sonia Fowler (1031 episodes) 13. Janine Butcher (993 episodes) 14. Mo Harris (970 episodes) 15. Grant Mitchell (965 episodes) 16: Bianca Butcher (928 episodes) 17. Jim Branning (892 episodes) 18. Arthur Fowler (884 episodes) 19. Michelle Fowler (883 episodes) 20. Kat Moon (872 episodes) The only character to have been credited in every year is Ian Beale. The only years Pat Evans hasn’t appeared are 1985 and 2013, clocking up 27 years with a credit. Dot Branning makes 25 (about to enter her 26th). Phil is up to 23 years so far, just ahead of Pauline Fowler (22) and Ricky Butcher who has appeared in 21 years of the show’s history. 2013 will be Janine’s 20th year in the show and she is just seven episodes short of making her one thousandth appearance There are now 8 characters in total who have had a credited appearance in all four decades of the show. They are Ian Beale, Dot Branning, Pat Evans, the Butcher siblings: Ricky, Diane and Janine, Tracey the barmaid and now thanks to her return last year, everyone’s princess Sharon Rickman There are only 3 other living characters that can achieve credited appearances in all four decades: Dr Legg, Nick Cotton – and Winston, who despite numerous appearances in the show, hasn’t technically been credited since 2008. Tracey the barmaid has been credited a grand total of 120 times in the last 28 years |

Out of curiosity, how is Tracey credited? Can't say I've ever noticed before, but surely not as "Tracey the barmaid"!?

Phil, despite taking a panto break coming up?
I would guess Alfie to come 1st. Max will be the dominant branning so he's in with a chance, Sharon is supposed to be the dominant character in the summer and I imagine through to the end of the year and she has always been the dominant female since the 00s. Phil because I imagine he will be connected with a lot of Sharon's stuff and I can see the writers attempting to inject new life into and and reinvigorate his character given the lucklustre character he has been since about 2008. |

Phil because I imagine he will be connected with a lot of Sharon's stuff and I can see the writers attempting to inject new life into and and reinvigorate his character given the lucklustre character he has been since about 2008. Janine is coming back so I believe she would be thrown in the lion den, she could make in the top 5. Michael and Janine could dominate for a few months. |

This is slightly incorrect. I posted updates at the end of 2012 and this is what it looks like...

I've always said mine is only on credited appearances. It also doesn't include the e20 spin off - but does include the red button specials. Bound to be some differences across all of us. I may even have made the odd mistake here and there.

Walford Web isn't always correct. I got the first half of 2011 from there so it mightn't be 100% correct.
