That's because Shawn Christian wasn't the actor the show had in mind when creating Daniel. It's obvious that they wanted a younger actor for the part. I'm pretty sure Daniel is the "Logan" character that appeared in scripts and the same character that Jason Gearhardt (ex-Coop, GH) was close to nabbing the role of. I don't know what happened to Jason, but Shawn Christian got the part and the writers were too lazy to modify the character and the story they had for him, so they just decided to pretened that the audience wouldn't notice the vast age difference between Shawn and Rachel Melvin. Insulting our intellegence never gains fans. |

But with Dorian and Joey, they at least mentioned the age difference and that was a big concern for many of the characters, as it should be. I agree that age doesn't make a difference and it shouldn't stop two characters from being together. But that doesn't mean everyone feels that way and it's unrealistic to believe that everyone in Salem would be so cool with Chelsea's crush on Daniel without mentioning his age. It would be a concern to someone. |

Very true. Again age doesn't really matter to me... but I agree that it should matter to some character on the show... perhaps her parents lol. It should be addressed... then they can move on to whatever else they have planned for this paring. |

The age doesn't bother me at all. It's the fact that Chelsea fell madly in love with him after 3/4 episodes. |

I'm catching up on some episodes right now (okay, fast forwarding through them) and I just have to wonder... WHY THE HELL IS LUCAS BACK?! Just when Sami becomes tolerable for the first time in years, here he comes to turn her into a whiny mess again. So annoying. |

^so true. Tho iw as shcoked that a lot of thier convos were actualy rather mature, for them. When they are not screaming and blaming eachother. Lucas really is emotionally abusive on her - and her onto him. Actually - they are like sonyn & carly on gh - toxic. does Lucas have a job? |

I watched Monday's episode which was my first Days episode in 2 months and thought the same thing. Lucas didn't need to be back and I do wonder if he was suppose to be bye-bye for a long time...but plans changed. <_< He was being emotionally abusive to Sami on Monday and I wanted to reach through my television screen and smack him across the face. At least we saw some bits of fiesty Sami coming back. |

I don't think it's as bad as some of you do, but it needs a huge kick in the ass. I heart Braun, but I am kind of glad to see her and her dad go b/c it was headed into a very, very bad direction with all of these newbies. Still loving Dansea, but I was never, ever on board with ChelSICK so that could explain why. :lol: Jawn is still hilarious to me and entertaining on a daily basis. Ali Sweeney is....ACTING! It's been so long, I forgot she could. I can tolerate BD/Lucas screaming/carrying on like a baby for now since it's understandable, but if they over do it...I will be bitching. I have never been on board with Ejamicus, but I have to say the Nicole/EJ/Sami/Lucas quad has me ENTHRALLED. I literally have no idea who I want her to be with. |

I am at a complete loss as to what they are going to do with Lucas. I thought when he came back from prison he would be sort of different. "More Empowered" as Bryan stated it. So far we have the same old Lucas - screaming, yelling, verbally abusive. Same facial expressions, same rabid delivery. Why in the heck rest a character for four months and have him deliver the same dialog he has been delivering for the past 15 years? Man o Man - Lucas called Sami a "whore" in front of John and Marlena and barely got a scolding and then we have Sami in the same epi begging him for forgiveness and to take her back. Then we have Marlena telling EJ that Lucas is the love of Sami's life and that they always get back together. Marlena get a clue Lucas is verbally abusive towards Sami and always has been. Why Marlena is Lucas' champion is beyond me - she's a therapist for goodness sakes - she knows how verbal abuse is damaging ... |

Ali best scenes are with James, when she's acting with Bryan she pulls out that fake sad face and wimpering speech pattern... |

I know sometimes actors that are different then the casting call wind up being hired. It's not that I can't see why they wouldn't have jumped on SC when he auditioned but why not alter the part to fit him? Oh right. That would require them actually doing work. And it should have been a huge clue to TPTB when SC was announced in coming to the show that everyone bitched and complained he's be perfect for Billie. I also don't remember one post of anyone that said, "OMG, a hot guy in his early 40s? Please please, put him with CHELSEA!" And does this mean they added more surfer talk for Daniel to seem hipper or it was left in? As much as I hate it, I think a younger actor could pull it off easier. Yes I know SC played a surfer in another role but he was younger then. It makes no sense for Chelsea to be attracted to an OLDER guy acting like a younger guy because all it does is highlight the fact he is a older guy. All I see is a middle aged man acting and talking like a teenager. Big turn off. And as we said before now the problem isn't even with age (even though nothing has been done with RM still looking like a teenager around SC so thanks for making me lose my lunch in their endless amount of kissing scenes) but that they are in love and that everyone seems completely fine with their relationship. When it comes to new couples, is this what we have to look forward to? The fast food version of a soap couple courtship? No wonder soaps ratings are in the toilet. At least keep Nick out of their scenes so I can just FF. Everytime I think they have hit an all time low with this story, they manage to surprise me even more. |

I have always wondered why Lucas has so many adoring fans. He's always been screaming, arrogant, abusive, controlling--what is there to like? He and Sami worked best when they were working as partners in crime, scheming and manipulating people and situations to their own liking. As a romantic couple, WHY do they want each other? Lucas constantly berates Sami and tries to turn her into someone she isn't and never will be, while Sami puts up with it and cries and whines and grovels. And all their friends and family go along with it for some reason. I can't believe Marlena stood there the other day and heard all the terrible things Lucas said about her daughter and didn't say a word, and now is encouraging them to work things out. I wanted to cheer when John stood up for Sami and told Lucas he couldn't talk to her that way because no one has ever done that before. I had hoped that Lucas's "rest" was for a purpose, but I don't see any change in the character at all. The screaming started right back up again and the arrogance was in full display when he walked into the Dimera mansion and immediately started ordering Rolf around like he was king of the castle instead of a convict with an ankle monitor. And his threats to take Allie--exactly where does he think he's going to take her and how is he going to take care of her? He has no home, no job, he can't go out to buy her food or clothing or medicine or take her to the doctor or park. Lucas is still a ridiculous little man with a napoleon complex and if Sami wants him she needs intense therapy from a real doctor, not the pod Marlena that we currently have walking around with a dazed, confused expression, sticking needles in everyone that crosses her path. |

You know, when Lucas first came on the show, I called him a little chipmunk and didn't like him much but grew to after a few years and really wanted him with Sami because back in the day he didn't judge her (when they were friends) Of, course, when Sami first came on I didn't like her much either - didn't like them trying to break up Austin (Patrick Muldoon) and Carrie. But Sami became one of my favorites in time too. Now, with all the writer changes over the years, Lucas became Austin (Austin Peck) Light and his character was ruined. I really hoped that when he got out of prison, he would be different, but the writers are still writing him the same. No change as of yet. You all know I have never been a Sami/EJ fan but who knows...Right now I just wish Sami would dump them both! Maybe it would help if Bryan made different acting choices - IDK. Back on the subject of yesterday's show - crap. |

OK it's annoying enough that Tony and Anna married and left for a honeymoon off-screen, but we find out about it through the dayplayer following Morgan around? GRRRRRRRRRR. As I said yesterday... I mean I know May sweeps weddings are kind of a soap cliche, but still it wouldn't have killed anyone to give Tony and Anna a nice small ceremony at the DiMansion and let the Ejamicas awkwardness and Lexie-Abe marriage bickering fester in the backdrop of it and maybe have the cops come (or Abe and Roman get a call) in the middle of the ceremony or reception to arrest Jawn because they had just then found out about the drugs on his boat. What would have been so difficult about that? I mean besides them possibly giving the Brady Pub set a rest for one day. Marlena is such a hypocritical bitch. Who is she to give lectures about affairs and harass EJ about coming between Lucas and Sami? It's not like she hasn't wrecked a few happy homes herself with her urges. And last time I checked Sami and EJ were married and Sami slept with him of her own free will. So... he's not even allowed to talk to Sami now that Lucas is back? WTF? And did she totally block out Lucas calling Sami a "lying, cheating, whore" as well as all of Lumi's codependent dysfunctional backstory before she went into that rant about Lucas being the love of her life and he'd always be that? Worst.Psychiatrist.Ever. And frankly, since when did Marlena even give a fuck about Sami and Lucas's love life. That's so... Kate. And how can Marlena even ask EJ whether John is guilty of the drug trafficking? I simply can't believe Marlena would doubt John EVER so this is bad writing. Plus, she had to go and blab about Sami getting laid to Roman??? Hate her. "As your step-mommy..." "She's all boobs and hair. No substance." Damn I love Nicole. And Ava's not so bad herself. Love the idea of these badass bitches becoming best buds. Today's scene at the pub was GREAT. EJ showing up at the end was just icing on the cake. I'm trying but it's just hard for me to care all that much about Steve and Kayla. They sort of sucked me in with the Pocket story last year but another baby story so soon just doesn't do it for me. I wish Tony and Anna could steal some of their airtime. Or at least they could give us more Bo and Hope instead. There. I said it. BTW, did they just move into EJ's old apartment? I wondered what the show was going to do with that old apartment set now that everyone who lived in that building now lives at the DiMansion. |

I LOVED the scenes with Nicole and Ava, and Nicole, EJ, and Ava are magic together! As for Steve, Kayla, and Steph, please go away. I find them super boring as much as i want to like them |
