I know how Steve/Kayla fans feel, I remember being happy that the show was better in the fall 2015 but extremely frustrated that Paul and Eric were on the backburner. It was bittersweet.

I do find the age difference with Jennifer and Eric a bit off putting but if Eric can erase the stench of Dannifer off Jennifer, I say do it. Jennifer was my young heroine fave back in the day. Julie the older spitfire and Jennifer the young sweet thing were my girls. Dannifer changed the way I look at Jennifer, especially when Jack returned and Jennifer could only go through the motions because of Dr. FeelMeUp. Ugh.

Anyone think RC will continue the dumb Adrienne/Lucas thing? Granny needs someone her own age. Dimples comes to mind. Lucas can go both ways. He could date younger or his age Now if only RC would cast some more women.

Memphis sounds fun.

Could TC actually be an EJ recast? Somehow it seems RC has to know the DiMeras need a huge shot in the arm. The current state of Salem's resident evil family is pitiful. Hope he is not another Kiriakis. I've had enough of those.

Why is the age difference between Jen and Eric off putting? The age difference between the actors is 5 years. The age difference between Diedre and Drake is more than that. I haven't seen one post ever complaining about their age difference
I thought Jeneric was pretty hot before he went to prison, and I might be willing to give them a chance and see how it goes. Beats the he'll out of Eric moping around forever about Nicole

It doesn’t bother me but it’s because Eric was a baby on the show when Jennifer was a teen and because Jennifer has two grown kids and a grandson.

Because it's not about the actors ages, it's about the characters. Jen was in her late teens when Eric was a small child. And yes, SORASing messes stuff up, but for those of us that saw those scenes with Jen and Eric 25+ years ago, it's hard to think of Jen and Eric as being close to the same age.

Let's say that Jennifer was 16-17 when Eric was 7, so currently Jennifer is 9 or 10yrs older than Eric. She could be as little as 5-6yrs older or as much as 10-12yrs older, depending on how you want to see things. Even if Jennifer is currently 12 years older than Eric, it's still not a big deal. It is not out of the realm of belief that an older woman could or would have a relationship with a man 10yrs younger. My sister is married to a man 9yrs younger than she & my other sister is married to a man who is 7yrs older than she is. I don't know what age Eric or Jennifer actually as currently supposed to be on the show, but given that they at least have to range from late 30's thru early 50's, I don't think it's an issue. If Eric is 35 & Jennifer 45, or Eric is 40 & Jennifer 50, or Eric is 45 & Jennifer is 55. None of these differences are extreme and if they are only supposed to be 5-6yrs apart the gap narrows.

I babysat for 7-10yr olds when I was 15yrs old... Today I am 47, one of the kids is a a 42yr old and the other is a 37. I see them as adults, you actually joke about the fact that I was once their babysitter.

Reverse sexism is a thing. It's the norm in society for a man to be 10 yrs older than a woman and for not a person to bat an eye, but when a women is older people get all bent out of shape about it. Maybe it's because teenage boys don't usually babysit.

Why would say that? She was 15-16 when Eric was born, lol.

There is some reverse sexism in this discussion sometimes, but there's not right now when we're discussing having seen an older teenager onscreen with a baby. I think the comments about him not being with a granny are pretty sexist (and silly considering his twin is also a granny) but that's not the issue everyone has. It's the equivalent of Claire dating Thomas (minus the incest).

Hope is a grandma, older than Sami, and now she's with Sami's ex.

Kate is a great-grandmother and she was with Sami's ex.

I don't get why JenEric bothers people.

If I let the fubarred SORASING or DE-SORASING guide my liking of couples or stories, all of it would fall apart pretty much.

Again, it's not about their age difference now. If Jen and Eric were strangers, I wouldn't care that Jen was 5-10 years older than him. In fact, I don't particularly care as it is. But, when you saw a teenager with a baby Eric, it's a bit disconcerting for some people to see them as a romantic couple now.

I like Jennifer as a charcter.
I like Eric as a charcter.
I would like to see both of them have a storyline.
Prior to Eric being in the Nicole storyline he shared one with Jennifer. Jennifer currently doesn't have a storyline and hasn't for a long time.
I don't care if they just have a brief love affair, it's possible they may never really last as a pair. Perhaps they won't even return to them as a romance. Maybe they will return to them and then all of the issues that have been posted about on this board will be addressed. The age difference, the places they are in their lives, the fact that Jennifer cannot have kids or that she has grown kids & a grandson & Eric doesn't .
But I don't see the harm in going there now, especially if the show has no intentions of pairing them with someone else or bringing on love interests for them.

This is just my feeling.. Like wise I want Hope away from Rafe pronto and would be open to her being paired with a younger man on the show also, so long as it gives her a romance away from Rafe...

Just thinking of all the younger male Erica Cane loves, then Dorian, then Nicki on Y&R and Brooke on B&B. I wouldn't mind RC allowing Jennifer to get her groove on for a while.

I know how you feel about the ages. When Marlena was in the secret room, Kristen threw a 6th birthday party for Brady, saying how she was happy to be his new mommy.......

This is part of why I had such a hard time getting behind Bristen. I started watching Days during Aremid so I remember Brady as a little boy with his almost-stepmother Kristen. Although Eric and Eileen had great chemistry I could never quite get past my memories of their stepmother/stepson days, especially when they were all living in the Dimera mansion. Having said that, the absolute worst thing about Bristen IMO was the way their story was written, how the characters of John and Marlena were assassinated with Brady being an utter doormat. BUT I find I could almost see myself being okay with them, with this version of Brady we've got now. Brady is in a very dark ugly place right now and I find myself wondering how current-bastard Brady would play off of Kristen.

I hope they don't waste too much time getting Lucas to Memphis. The fact that Robert and Anna got to reunite with Robin on GH before Patrick gives me hope Lumi will be together when they first see Will.

They do this stuff all the time.. Carrie was born in 1974, at that time an adult Mike Horton was walking around Salem.

I would love to see Jeneric being revisited. Jen can't be with Jack, Eric can't be with Nicole and I think Greg and Missy have good chemistry. I'm looking forward to their friendship and hope it will have benefits. The age difference that the characters are supposed to have doesn't bother me. It's no different than Philly on Y&R and I like Philly.

Can do without Adrienne contacting Lucas.... I need these two to NEVER have scenes again when this crap is done. Now let’s get this mess leading to Justin/Adrienne reuniting. No
More Lucas for these two.

I just can't get behind Jennifer and Eric. To me, Jen only ever worked with Jack and Frankie. I guess I just don't see the chemistry. They work as friends, sure, but on a romantic level, it just feels so creepy and wooden.
They're like the same damn person but only different genders tbh.


This is how I feel about the current Chad and Abby. They have friendly chemistry but in no way shape or form are they sexual or romantic. Seems like two good friends but not two people who are crazy about each other. No romantic chemistry at all.

For me Adrienne does nothing for the show, I just don't understand her purpose or why the charcter seems to be getting so much attention (I am including Bonnie). Even with the current storyline, she isn't supporting her son's storyline, her storyline with Justin has very little romance or meaning. It just seems that Bonnie is around to add comedy to Victor's home, which I am not down with. I would rather she go, that other charcterss get the airtime she is getting. I am not at all hopeful that I will be interested in Bonnie being caught and Adrienne returning. I don't even like Justin & Adrienne anymore and I cannot stand Lucas with her either. Justin can have a fling with Hope, Kate or Eve. Lucas can hookup with Eve or Chloe... Any of those options are way more appealing for me.

I don’t disagree in general about Adrienne, but the stuff you listed isn’t her current storyline. She’s not involved in those things because Bonnie isn’t Adrienne.

Should have worded my post better, that's what I was implying when I put (Bonnie to). I should've under have posted, I don't like JE's as an actress, I find her very very boring. So I don't have any desire to watch her as Bonnie or Adrienne and I don't think either charcter adds anything to the show.
