Oh I thought they managed to make her even less sustainable. I think the story worked okay until it fell apart but even beyond what they did to her (and completely forgetting j&m) I think they made everyone else in town look stupid for her. The story worked better than the characters...but that's also if you leave out the first half which was pretty dull overall imo. |

JJ began to be boring when he became a Dan follower. That hurt him. They need to give him back some edge. |

:wub: :wub: I absolutely love everything about this scene!! Gives me chills every single time I watch it. And I sometimes laugh because I remember Deidre and Drake's interview on soap talk for the 40th anniversary where they laughed and explained he was really pulling her hair during the hug scene and she said "stop it! you're pulling my hair out" lol :lol: |

Quan loves the 90's DOOL and Kristen, so I think he would do a good arc with her. Hope it happens. |

He and Dena would have to write with far more urgency than we are seeing onscreen now for it to work The current story with the prisoners isn't bad but it is lacking in terms of punch. And my feeling is that a Kristen story until this regime would feel like more of a Dena story than a Quan story. So far, I sense far more Dena in the stories whereas I see more of Quan in scripts but that could change over time. It tends to when Dena has a co-HW :blulaugh: . |

I'd take Kristen back if it means she's the new head of the DiMera family. Plus it's be interesting seeing her interact with Andre considering she thought he was Tony back in the 90s. |

He's boring as a good guy, and Casey is being wasted. As bad as Jeve was, I liked that JJ was screwing up, I liked his passion. Now he's dull, and when he's looking down on Chad for being a Dimera, he's hypocritical. Jabi should be more interesting, played by 2 hot people, but lack of story aside, they fall flat for me. JJ needs a bad girl, imo. |

IMO it's that he has nothing going on inside. I didn't always find every single problem they ever wrote for JJ totally compelling, sometimes it seemed like his self-loathing was overdone, but it was something. Now he just doesn't have as much internal conflict or development. Also it doesn't help that we never get to see any kind of progression arc for him as a cop. We don't see a lot of rookie mistakes, being chewed out for said mistakes, learning from said mistakes, etc. I don't think it's as bad as Theresa one day becoming a super talented fashion designer, since nobody is saying JJ is the biggest prodigy the SPD has ever seen, but it still suffers similarly from there being no sense of achievement. I would have rather they played it like him making a somewhat impetuous career choice because helping Roman made him feel like he was atoning, but finding that it didn't really fit his personality. I was hoping he could be the rebellious, play-outside-the-lines cop that Roman and Rafe have to constantly keep in check. I don't want him to be as immature as he used to be, but I liked him best when he was trying to outthink Theresa, I wish we could see him more in that mode. And I agree with KLK that when he looks down on Chad for being a Dimera, it makes JJ look really hypocritical, after how he hated himself and went through that phase of being angry at his dad. It's not that Chad is a pretty princess that nobody can be mean to, it just doesn't fit with JJ. And it makes me irritated because it feels like they just had to make either JJ or Jennifer hate Chad for the sake of Chabby having a Romeo and Juliet dynamic. The JJabi stuff has been half baked too, so he just hasn't had anything good lately. Some scenes with his family have been nice but those are little things. |

Different strokes for different folks! I much preferred 90's Kristen to the one that came back under TomSell. I did enjoy the Bristen pairing, but there was no need to destroy J&M to make it work. On the contrary, J&M should have been stronger than ever. My main beef on her return, was that Marlena & Kristen were well-known bitter enemies/rivals and Deidre & Eileen were always mesmerizing in scenes together, but alas we saw very little of that under TomSell. Instead, they made Marlena insecure and John a total jerk in order to prop Bristen, when it could have been done/written so differently, while still enjoying the Bristen pairing. |

I'm glad that Kristen didn't come back in 2007. Hogan would have botched that like he did with all the other DiMeras returning. I didn't like how TomSell reintroduced Kristen to the show. Given how she left in 1998, her return should have been big, like Tony's in 2002. Instead it was very low key, which was typical TomSell. That is probably the only thing they had in common with Hogan, he also wrote returns as none events. But at least TomSell actually seemed to like Kristen and wrote for her. Hogan would have probably just had Eileen play Stefano's mother in flashbacks to show even more how tragic the love saga of Santo and Colleen was :eyeroll: |

Thank you! Love this. Mr. moss, you are a cutie. The writers need to flesh out his character more and he needs more screen time. But...I could be biased there. He is jack's kid after all. That gives them plenty of material to work with right there. As far as Jabi goes, the writers need to treat him as if he is an actual factor in the relationship. And the audience needs to be shown aspects of their relationship instead of reading tweets about it. 😎 |

I don't disagree about the destruction of John and Marlena. It wasn't needed.But it doesn't mean I didn't like the character of Kristen more this time around. She became too pathetic for my taste in the 90s (trying to hold onto a man who was clearly in love with someone else is not what makes a character likable to me.)

But that was pretty much a theme during the nineties....Kristin trying to hold onto John, Billie trying to hold onto Bo, Peter trying to hold onto Jen, Stefano trying to hold onto Marlena, Roman tried to hold onto Marlena...they all knew the object of their obsession was in love with someone else but tried everything from pregnancy to kidnapping to emotional blackmail to keep them apart...and to me it made those characters came across as desperate and pathetic |
