Continuity mistake: Maris is hiding in a wooden box so she will be shipped out of the country. Marta, her housekeeper, has a protein shake for her, and puts the straw through a hole in the box. Maris indicates that she's drunk too much and Marta goes to put the straw back in the hole so she can regurgitate some - but just before that happens we see a stream of the liquid come out of the hole and dribble down the box. In the next shot the straw goes into the hole and the box is all clean and dry again.

Answer: It equals the record of James Arness of "Gunsmoke" for the actor who's played the same part on TV NOT in a soap opera. If you include soaps there are two main contenders - William Roache, who's been playing Ken Barlow in "Coronation Street" in the UK since 1960. Don Hastings has been playing Robert Hughes in US soap "As the World Turns" since 1960 as well.
