Position Name
# Appearances First Appearance % Appearances
1 Ceilidh MacFarlane
304 November 8, 1999 (1:1) 51.01%
Current Situation:
Ceilidh ends up as the top appearer, with just over 300 appearances to her name.
2 Joseph Page
("Joe")
289 November 10, 1999 (1:3) 48.49%
Current Situation:
Joe ends as #2, with only Ceilidh above him.
3 Alison Montgomery
137 November 16, 1999 (1:7) 22.99%
Current Situation:
Alison becomes the third character to pass the 100 appearances mark and finishes as #3.
4 Phoebe Bradley
("Feeb")
101 December 7, 1999 (1:22) 16.95%
Current Situation:
Phoebe just barely clears the century mark, and finishes as #4.
5 Ryan Aberdeen
96 November 9, 1999 (1:2) 16.11%
Current Situation:
Poor Ryan. After being #3 and #4 for a long, long time, he falls just short of a hundred appearances at the end, in fifth place.
6 Alan Gunderson
88 November 11, 1999 (1:4) 14.77%
Current Situation:
Poor Alan, too. #3 for nearly a year before lack of panel time sent Ryan, then Phoebe, and finally Alison past him, leaving him as #6 at the end.
7 Hildegarde Page
("Gar")
59 March 28, 2000 (1:102) 9.90%
Current Situation:
Gar passed Deirdre for 7th place near the end, as she worked toward consoling Alison over her slightly broken worldview. We'll probably be seeing a decent amount more of her soon.
8 Deirdre Bradley
("Deedee")
57 November 3, 2000 (2:40) 9.56%
Current Situation:
Deedee dipped at the end to #8, but is still the only character introduced after the first year to finish in the top 10.
9 Helene Richer
49 November 10, 1999 (1:3) 8.22%
Current Situation:
Helene made only three appearances after early November 2001, so she ended up as #9.
10 Iain
25 September 6, 2000 (1:213) 4.19%
Current Situation:
The "suave" Australian finishes up the top ten, tied with Nancy. Not bad for a character introduced at the very end of Year 1 and disappeared near the end of Year 2.
10 Nancy Kawasaki
25 June 2, 2000 (1:150) 4.19%
Current Situation:
Nancy ends up just inside the top ten as she moved up into a tie with Iain.
12 Phil Bradley
24 February 15, 2001 (2:109) 4.03%
Current Situation:
The patriarch of the Bradley clan finishes just outside the top 10, just one appearance short of a three-way tie for tenth.
13 Shrub
23 November 15, 1999 (1:6) 3.86%
Current Situation:
After several requests, I agreed to put The Shrub on the list, given the number of times it appears to play a support role in concealing a character. As stealth, gossip, plots, and rumors start coming into the open, watch for our friend the Shrub to continue to play cover. But is that all this stealthy plant is doing, or does it have an agenda of its own?
14 James Page
21 October 22, 2001 (3:26) 3.52%
Current Situation:
Well, Joe Daddy moves past Noelle into #13. He avoids a meeting with Gar, gives Joe his phone number, and helps to crack Alison's psychological outlook on life. Not bad for only 21 appearances.
15 Noelle Bradley
("Nelly")
19 August 29, 2000 (1:207) 3.19%
Current Situation:
Sure enough, as the plot wound back to the Bradley family, Noelle returned along with it. This pint-sized hothead combines biting comments with just enough naievite to get away with it. She'll be around some more as the Bradlies try to sort out what's going on.
16 Erin
16 February 26, 2002 (3:82) 2.68%
Current Situation:
Well, Erin looks to have made her exit, finally having achieved closure with James Page, so she shouldn't be appearing much more, except perhaps flashbacks, though a scene of Hildegarde, Melissa, and Erin confronting James seems like a possiblity?
17 Melissa
12 April 26, 2000 (1:123) 2.01%
Current Situation:
Mrs. Page's sister finally makes a non-flashback appearance, and quadruples her old count, bringing her up to #17 on the chart. Resolution between the sisters over Gar's husband could be an interesting sequence, though.
18 Ghada Hassan
11 January 13, 2000 (1:49) 1.85%
Current Situation:
Nearly tripling her appearance count at her farewell party, we probably won't be seeing her again until graduation, if ever, since she's now an alumna of AHS.
19 Sarah Bradley
10 February 13, 2001 (2:107) 1.68%
Current Situation:
The Bradley matriarch leapfrogs up six positions with her appearances during the latest Bradley family story arc. Watch for her to continue her climb when the story winds back to this family of redheads.
20 Maire MacFarlane
9 November 26, 1999 (1:15) 1.52%
Current Situation:
Ceilidh's mother puts together enough one-shot appearances to take #18, and she'll be around more as Ceilidh starts spending time at home this summer.
21 Pol MacFarlane
8 December 20, 1999 (1:31) 1.34%
Current Situation:
Pol sits not far behind his wife at #21, and will probably appear in the future much as she will: as needed.
21 Ciaran MacFarlane
8 December 20, 1999 (1:31) 1.34%
Current Situation:
Ah, Christmas; a time for family. And that means Ciaran's back from University for a little while, to nettle and tease his little sister, while she does the same to him.
23 Roman
6 October 8, 2001 (3:21) 1.01%
Current Situation:
Roman breaks his tie with Todd and Cecil, as he confronts Nancy plotting her revenge and ends up on the floor. The question is, what will he do now?
24 Todd
5 September 27, 2000 (2:13) 0.84%
Current Situation:
The man who made Phoebe despise men in general, Todd's only shown up in flashbacks so far, and except for them, the only way we'll be seeing this Avalon alumnus in the future is if Josh decides to pull some major plot twists out.
24 Cecil MacFarlane
("Cat")
5 November 26, 1999 (1:15) 0.84%
Current Situation:
The MacFarlane's family cat. He usually only shows up at Ceilidh's times of greatest distress... Could he be a coping presence for a tightly-wound teenager or is just an ordinary cat?
24 Pascale
5 October 11, 2000 (2:23) 0.84%
Current Situation:
With the publication of the yearbook, Pascale returned for a strip, then retreated to obscurity again. If she's still editor this year, though, she'll probably be around a few more times before graduation.
27 Mr. Corner
4 December 1, 1999 (1:18) 0.67%
Current Situation:
The Chemistry teacher gained some panel time by being bribed just before the student elections, but hasn't been seen since. He's probably just hiding, thinking up the next Evil Chem Test From Doom.
27 That MC Chick
4 June 2, 2000 (1:150) 0.67%
Current Situation:
The MC at the Student Council election speeches didn't show up much, but could be back again to MC this year's elections. And yes, I verified this name with Josh.
27 Nick
4 October 10, 2000 (2:22) 0.67%
Current Situation:
Nick, managing editor for the yearbook, languished on the only-one-appearance list for more than seven months before appearing again for the distribution of the books. He might be back again to work on next year's book, but don't count on it.
30 Mr. Hammond
3 November 18, 1999 (1:9) 0.50%
Current Situation:
The Math teacher hasn't been around in a while, but we'll likely be seeing more of him once exams are coming up.
30 Mark
("That Office Staff Guy")
3 November 8, 1999 (1:1) 0.50%
Current Situation:
The only other character in the first strip, he'll probably not be around much, except to point out the dryer sheet on Ceilidh's vest at the beginning of every semester.
30 Female Extra #2
3 February 25, 2000 (1:80) 0.50%
Current Situation:
A testament to accidental duplicates, this nameless girl put snickering about Ceilidh, talking to Joe, and going to a hockey game together, and landed a place on the list.
30 Ahmed Rahman
3 June 6, 2000 (1:150) 0.50%
Current Situation:
Ahmed's been a candidate at the various student elections and is famous for his incredibly long speeches. We probably won't see much of him any more, as there aren't any more elections to go through before graduation.
30 Great Big Sea
3 February 4, 2000 (1:65) 0.50%
Current Situation:
Great Big Sea's put in a few cameo appearances, which qualifies them for the list. Seeing as they've always appeared on the first Friday of February, we could be seeing them again next year.
30 That MC Guy
3 April 11, 2001 (2:148) 0.50%
Current Situation:
That MC Guy's position on the chart and image was lost in a server crash when the backup was incredibly old. This was discovered during a recount of everyone's appearances, so now his position can be restored, at least. Unfortunately, we'll probably never see him again, in much the same vein as That MC Chick.

I would like to make a note that this blatant rip-off of Sluggy.net's "Sluggy Statistics" is meant in no way to demean, detract from, or otherwise injure Sluggy.net's idea. Instead, this is an example of "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery." Thank you Sluggy.net and the creator of "Sluggy Statistics," Tirdun, for providing both the idea and the inpiration to do this.
