I do hope it lasts at least a little bit, although it's sort of unfounded, because the one that was at fault with the entire affair thing was Will....but I like that Lucas even with Will dead is still in his corner |

Maybe he just assumed Sonny would date Paul longer before making a solid commitment as a marriage is. I also wonder if raising Arianna would come into play as to why Lucas would be opposed to Sonny and Paul's marriage. |

She's probably in both the Memphis thing and whatever Lucas is doing. She's probably in everything, so I automatically included her whether I wanted to or not. So I'll hate her Ejami and WilSon stuff because I hate Ejami and Wilson, and like it when she sticks her nose into her siblings' business because I love her family of origin. |

Haha -- that's because Bonnie was never supposed to be a lookalike -- which makes this whole story completely stupid. Not Ron's best moment by far.... |

I don't think Days is going to do much with the racial aspect; it's just not that kind of show. However, I do think that JJ could survive as a character if they said he shot Theo due to unconscious racial bias if they also had him do a lot of soul searching, take responsibility and work to overcome his bias. It could be the sort of storyline that soaps used to embrace. |

So Sonny has to consider everyone's feeling about his love life but not his own feelings!? How is that even fair lol |

The hilarious part is that despite one year (gasp!) Mo was still at the top of the episode count yearly. It was just massively reduced from Guza years. |

I swear if they write this story as JJ(!!!) fighting people's bias' against him I will scream. This is so not the climate for that. |

If arianna was not in the middle he should not consider anyone feeling but since arianna is not his biological child and lucas is only consistent in her since sonny was year in Europe and gabi was year in jail and how sonny can consider marlena feeling of telling he getting married and ignored lucas feeling either consider both or ignored both |

That is exactly my concern. If it's an accident on JJ's part, any accusations of racism would be dismissed as unfair and overreactions. The story becomes JJ is a victim. That sends a simplistic message about police shootings and race. But the point of BLM is that race cannot be dismissed. Even in an unfortunate accident, race can infect the police officer's perception. Does he see a black man as more of a threat than he would a white man? Does he unconsciously assume he is in danger because of the wrongly perceived threats? Those are very valid questions to ask of any shooting. If the show does what esp13 does, and addresses unconscious bias and how it affects perceptions, this storyline could accomplish a lot. But if it is just JJ made a mistake and is being unfairly attacked by those who would accuse the Salem PD of racism, the show could get a lot of backlash and be accused of white-washing police abuse.

We don't know Sonny doesn't plan to talk to Lucas, though. Sonny mentioned Marlena to Paul, because that's Paul's stepmother, whom he's fairly close to, and it was reasonable to assume that he planned to talk to her. Either way, while it's polite for him to talk to Lucas (and Marlena), he's not obligated to shape his life around their feelings. The majority of Will's issues with Paul stemmed from Will being a petulant child. There's no reason to think Paul would harm Arianna in any way. Edited by six, Aug 29 2017, 03:40 PM.

You're right, it's not. We're all jumping to conclusions anyway based on KPs leak of his last scenes. We've also seen footage of MA on set and JJ appeared to be in the hospital too, speculating that he may have been near death or hallucinating. Maybe he gets shot and Theo saves him or gets caught in the crossfire. |

I have faith in RC, but I'd just be prepared. This is the same show that recently built a love story around one cop murdering an innocent* man and another one covering it up. And now the one cop who had enough integrity to have an issue with it is going to jail so that one of the dirty cops can have his job. I still don't understand how multiple people thought any of this was a good idea in the current climate. *Innocent of the crime Hope suspected him of. |

I like JJ and I want relevant stories but tackling this issues without the right sensitivities is,,,, not smart. Does Days even have ONE black writer? No matter the right intentions, I don't think the story could be done justice without someone who's experience various forms of discrimination from law enforcement. Besides, JJ and Theo have known each other forever. How would this even go down? And the Salem PD has always been portrayed pretty progressively in the past. *** Hope and Rafe's Stefano plot not included |

Can JJ be considered racist when he's dating an AA detective? Especially, since his gf is the victim's sister. I thought there was a pic of CM with blood on his shirt. So maybe JJ was shot during the shootout along with Theo. |

I'm not liking that Lucas has an issue with Paulson getting married. It reminds me when Will came out and started dating Sonny and they made Lucas not accepting it right away. I know that it's a plot point for WILL, but it's a bit late for them to have Lucas be vocal about Paul and Sonny when he never said anything against them and they have been dating for months. :rolleyes: |

Actually, this would be the sort of thing it would be nice for a show to tackle. From lifelong personal experience - dating, being friends with or having a child who's part of a certain group does not mean you're free of bias toward that group. Even being a member the group doesn't mean you're immune from absorbing some of society's bias about said group. Edited by six, Aug 29 2017, 04:20 PM.

As far as we've seen JJ is not racist. But generally speaking, of course racists can feel attraction to black people. Look at slavemasters raping their slaves. A racist being with a light skin black woman is not unusually. Look at that owner of the LA Clippers who repeatedly voiced inflammatory things about black people WHILE dating a black woman. Hell, even Donald Trump has dated a black woman, does that mean he's not racist? But again, nothing about JJ's character has even hinted at him being racist. |
