I could imagine him having a good holiday allowance, being a big name, through so It depends on how they pace his scenes. Will Mick and Linda get many episodes just being in the bar.

Apart from Shirley in this Friday's ep there is no Carters for the next 2 weeks.

Yep, that's what is expected if you're a landlord. Undoubtedly, Mick and Linda will be the top of the character count this year
Its like Liz in corrie who hasn't appeared so much and she is the landlady

Masoods not doing too bad

Carol takes the lead and Kat moves into 2nd place.

Kat and Carol, two of my favourite characters doing well at the top! I hope that stays throughout the year

Mick will take the lead again next week. I think it may be very close up the top this year between several people. The Carter's, Carol, Ian could well win.

Ronnie didn't appear on Thursday 20th March episode right?

FYI. Lucy appears on the 5th May so she is not departed yet( Not sure if she appears as a corpse or flashback or even a ghost/vision.)

^ Yeah I presume it'll be the CCTV footage. I'll continue to tally her on the departed list.

Don't think Stacey won't make it to the top 10. Phil and Sharon are very underused!! I hope they will have a big storyline soon.

Not sure if Lucy would be credited for the CCTV footage.

After a slow start to the year Lauren now motoring in the episodes

Mitchells having a particularly poor year so far.

Samantha Womack is busy with "Mount Pleasant" so she is on a break at the moment. Roxy cannot really have many storylines without Ronnie. Phil and Sharon are very underused but DTC did say there is a big story for Phil and Sharon in the summer. When Ronnie returns, I expect her to be really busy.
