You know what just kind of peeves me? I look at this episode count and see that Olson has 242 episodes, when Lindell has 147. I know Jan was on the backburner for the first few years and Lindell really had the front burner role of Jan, but I can't help that get irritated that Lindell was only on for a year and has only less than a hundred episodes than Olson did, as Olson was on for FIVE YEARS and only has 242. I love Lindell, but that just seems unfair to Olson.

But, of course, Corday hated Olson and loved Lindell.

Both the Jans stood out well in that they at least displayed mentally abberated ladies to a convincing degree. The majority of the other female actors are just plain NUTS.

Thanks, the Episode count, it puts things into more of a perspective here in Australia where DOOLS was running 2 1/2 years behind the U.S . until 18 months ago we were bought somewhat up to speed with a digested updating. Thank goodness we caught Heather Lindell for at least the CAGE sequence and for a short time prior. We are sad that we probably missed some of the best sequences of both Jans.

Aussie- it's great to see you posting!!!

And daysfan, you are absolutely right. That makes me so mad. If Heather Olson had stayed with the show, she would have ranked in the top 5 for the 2004 episode count.
