Wikipedia....while interesting....is not a credible "source" of information being that anyone can update it at any time. If it had been reported as fact in her article, they would need to have it sourced with some kind of link or source information below, which there isn't.

If she thought it was that big of a deal, she could easily visit the page and remove it herself.

While I could've done without the "Just sayin'" at the end of her post, Annie21 was absolutely correct in the fact that the story has never been commented on by anyone involved.

True, but it's just odd that no one added a "citation needed" beside the allegation in the Wiki article. As you know, that's common practice. I hope someone reading this, who has a Wiki account, will add that necessary asterisk, and then we'll see what Missy's camp (or Jason's?) does. Maybe they, lawyers or someone else, actually can lead us to a verifiable source to have such an asterisk removed and have this folklore nightmare finally resolved, so we can know one way or the other, at last.

True, but we are probably the first 3 people to visit her page in the last month. LOL It's not like Missy is such a huge star that people feel the need to correct information about her on a Wikipedia article. Besides, it's generally known that Wikipedia isn't exactly where you go if you're looking for truth.

Even more interesting to me is why SOD/SOW are choosing to give so much space to this subject. But I gather that it's the show that tells them what are the big story moments.
The SOW issue previous to this had Daniel and Jennifer as the centerfold poster*. If the show is telling them to give a big push to this pairing now, then who knows what we're going to see when Daniel gets back. I'm beginning to get the feeling that it's going to be full steam ahead for Dannifer and really at this point, I couldn't care less...if they gave Jack something else to do. But they'll probably keep him hanging around in the background until they feel they've played out this epic story of star-crossed lovers and then he'll gratefully take Jennifer back without a flinch. :puke:

*I read about it on their website. Did anyone see this? Was it a posed publicity shot or a still from the show?
As bad as the backlash has been I don't see them going full steam ahead with Dannifer. I'm sure Daniel will still be in Jennifer's orbit however I think the rewrites are primarily to address her lack of emotional connection with Jack.

I miss my old MR. I still think they forced the dannifer stuff on her and she became brainwashed. I think she has Stockholm syndrome.
haha!!
it's funny because MR only pimps this shitty ass pairing. I never read anything by SC talking about them.
AI. I recently watched Daniel and Chloe in various epis, mostly their hot makeout/sex scenes and their chemistry doesn't even compare to Dannifer. Danloe's relationship seems more believable and SC seems like a totally different actor. SC plays the hot, bad boy type character well, showing that he is a way more physical actor. I had to laugh at all the scenes he has, with either his shirt off, open or undone. So many of Danloe's scenes left very little to the imagination, as they were always smokin' hot. NB doens't hold back either. You can see SC's frustration with MR's Jennifer, as he is unable to read her persona and vice versa. This why their scenes resonate as a teenage lovesick saga with no real romance. Their lack of chemistry is quite evident and this may be a reason we don't hear SC talking about their SL, while MR tries to over compensate it, by trying to pimp them in interviews. Dannifer never flowered into a solid relationship because Dan can't figure out Jen's emotional needs and mind games. He is more simplistic and looks drained trying to make it happen.

I tried to watch Daniel and Chelsea, but couldn't get pass the first 10 seconds. They were just gross. ICK!!!!

It is apparent the these two actors are not evenly matched. Daniel is just one step above/below a manwhore and Jennifer is quiet, reserved and more emotional. Over the years, Jennifer has faltered, being attracted to the hot, bad boys of Salem, but when she takes time to reflect, she realizes that she requires an emotional affair, and the physical component is secondary. Jack is the only man that has ever been able to provide this to her. Jack and Jen are not like other people and that is exactly how their relationship has been written. It just so happens to fit both, MA and MR's acting styles and is what made them a supercouple.

MR must have it written in her contract, not be involved in naughty sex scenes. Have you ever seen Jennifer on the same level as a Sami, Chloe, Chelsea, Nicole, or Madison? They seem to have no trouble parading around the set, in just their bra and undies. Hee! Hee! These actresses/characters are the best for SC/Daniel to be paried with. Sorry, Dannifer is a bust! We can thank Higley for this. MARDAR obviously didn't see it coming, b/c nobody ever wants to do rewrites and admit they were wrong.

So Goodbye Dr. Dan! Adios! Au Revior! Caio! Das Vidanya! Shalom! Salaam! Sayanora! Adio! Auf Wiedersehen!

Sorry, MHE, I didn't mean to offend. I thought the "just sayin" was a way to soften what might have sounded like preaching. It wasn't my intention to preach or to chastise, merely to caution that a caveat should be included.

As for Wikipedia, I agree it has problems. I've seen so many errors on various pages -- especially where Days is concerned. You should see the stuff that has been said about James E. Reilly. There are (or used to be) assertions that he is the greatest Days head writer ever and that his storylines were the most popular ever in the history of the show, etc., etc. These assertions are unsubstantiated and are, at best, subjective. I tried to go in and correct some of the errors at one point. But within a few days, someone else had put it back. It's too tiring to hold the line against people who have an agenda and are determined to pursue it.

In any case, while I use Wikipedia for some things. I would not recommend it as a solid source for Days-related matters without cross-referencing it with other sources. The problem, of course, is that everybody starts citing everybody else, and soon, you see the same exact text repeated over and over on various sites. It's a daunting task to think about correcting any errors or unsubstantiated statements that creep in.

Picked up the new SOD also, and the article doesn't say failed marriage, it says failed relationship. That's a typo by the OP.

That's just great, another pimping lie from the Tabloids. I never got the slightest feeling that Jennifer was really interested in giving her relationship with Jack a chance. Jack has been begging for this from the start and the closest we got, was a couple of weeks ago when Jen told him she would wade ever so slowly back into things. This was before Jack, backed away after seeing her consoling Dan about his hand tremors.

If it is true, then this goes back to the 2012 preview thread from this board, where it mentions, 'One is ready to give their relationship a try and the other doesn't think it quite right'. It would support the article above, where Jennifer wonders if Jack and her, can make another go of their relationship and I suspect it is Jack that's thinks it is not quite right. I'd love to see him push her away, for the way she's treated him since his return. Jack deserves better and Jennifer doesn't derserve another chance.

I have yet to see any evidence of Jennifer wanting Jack in any capacity. The only emotion we see from her is toward Daniel. And at this point he can have her.

Thanks for this analysis. It was fun to read. I would add that in addition to both physical and emotional aspects, what Jack offered Jennifer was an intellectual dimension to their relationship. She enjoys their verbal sparrings and their debates over news stories or when Jack throws out big words or Latin words or quotes poetry/Shakespeare to her (Contrary to the rewrites under Higley, Jack often cited lines of poetry to her).

Their wordplay and mental games were a form of foreplay and were a part of what made them such a unique pair. I miss them! After a shaky but promising start, I was looking forward to having writers who might actually be able to capture their essence.

With Daniel, their exchanges are just so lame and dull. It's hard to settle for "cutesy" and "silly" -- and an endless back and forth about who is more perfect -- after what we got when JnJ were at their zenith.

In any case, after all this hoopla over Daniel's departure, it remains to be seen whether and how Jack and Jennifer interact during this brief interlude.

Thanks for posting the orginal article my question now is did this happen? I seen where Jack tells Jennifer Daniel is leaving and Monday Jennifer shows up at the K. Mansion to say goodbye but was there a day when Daniel goes to Jennifer on his own to tell her he is leaving? Geez these two break up so many times and in so many way I can't keep it all straight.

Seems Missy quotes are the same as in SOW, just edited to fit the space. But reading both articles I really believe MarDar were back in summer instructed to outline J/J/D story where Dannifer are the rooting couple and Jack the obstacle. Thatīs exactly what Corday promissed in his first post-Higley interview. He said he wanted more story for Jennifer (so they wrote her into the election story) and that he liked Dannifer but happy couples can be boring so they were bringing someone from past to give them conflict. Weīd already knew itīs Jack, but he never even bothered mention his name because that story was supposed to be all about Dannifer.

And from that POV it made sense first. Jack returns, Jennifer gets confused and agrees with the doubledating stuff and when she is almost sure she wants Daniel Jack reveals his PTSD bomb. Daniel realises J/J needs each other more and bows out even when Dan/jen still loves each other. Thatīs I think was the original story. Why anybody thought it will just go through and fans will accept it I have no idea. Anyway, when the negative reaction started and people turned against Jen MarDar had no other option but to start fiddle with the story and eventually let Jack bow out completely as well because instead of people sympathizing with her they turned against her and blamed her for using Jack and twisting him around. Thatīs really where Missy has screwed herself up because she was trying so hard to sell Dannifer nobody believed Jennifer even cares about Jack, let alone still loves him.

When the show let Jack bow out they had no story for him outside the triangle because nothing of this was in the original outline. But they also lost the main motivation why Dannifer canīt be together which made Jennifer look even worse. And thatīs where we are now. I donīt think we will see any movement in the story till atleast March. Then MarDar will have to decide if they really still want to go with Dannifer, even when whatever support they might had back in summer really mostly died out, but in that case they will have to also give them some new conflict. Or they realize J/J are still much more popular and we will get another reunion and Daniel new love of his life.

This theory makes sense. When Jack came back I just assumed that Jack/Jennifer were endgame and Daniel was just an obstacle for them reuniting. But if MarCar were intending Dannifer to be the rooting couple and have Jack be an obstacle for them, then what we are seeing on screen makes more sense. It also explains why MR is doing such a hard sell in her interviews for Dannifer. That's the couple that the writers intended as the main couple, not Jack/Jennifer. I don't think they anticipated how unpopular the story would be and the very negative reaction by the fans to Jennifer. Now with the word of rewrites and Daniel leaving town for awhile, I wonder what if they are going to come to their senses and try and work Jack and Jennifer back towards each other or try another round of forcing Dannifer on us again.

What's the mashup name for Jack and Jennifer? Jackifer? Jenack?

I don't know, I think they went into this not knowing WHO they wanted as the rooting couple. If they were sure they were going with Dannifer, I don't know why Marlene would have given that interview where she said Daniel was the solid, stable guy, but Jack was the one who got under Jennifer's skin. I really think they were planning to drag this out for a long, long, long time with Jennifer going back and forth between the two men for various reasons with no clear endgame in sight. Why they thought anyone would be interested in seeing that, I can't begin to imagine, just as I can't imagine where they got the idea that D&J had even a fraction of the popularity of Jack & Jennifer. I guess it goes back to the sad fact that the show (Corday) has never valued J&J or MA/Jack and constantly underestimates and dismisses the size, strength and loyalty of their fanbase. Of course, my theory doesn't really explain MR's interviews, does it? :huh:

I think they will give Dannifer another try, mostly because they don't have another love interest lined up for Daniel yet. I know people thought that maybe Billie was being brought in to make the triangle a quad, but it doesn't seem now like that's the case. Until or unless Dan gets a new woman, I'm convinced Dannifer won't end. They have no qualms about shoving Jack on the backburner, but there's no way in hell they're going to give that treatment to the great Daniel Jonas.

She said this way later when the reset already hit the screen and she and Meng admitted they are already discussing stories for spring and beyond. The outlines for all of this were already done then, she could only give some lip service to J/J fans knowing full well whatīs about to hit the screen. Itīs like her answer in the SOD about not wanting to hurt anyone but things having to progress naturaly. I believe their plans for the triangle went from Jack who? back in summer when they started scripting (and weīve got that boring 2 months nonstop Dannifer lovefest as results of their rewrites), meantime Jackīs return was announced (sort off) and the J/J fans activated so they decided to turn it into Jack vs. Daniel by some last minute changes and finally things just fell apart completely and they had to halt it and thatīs where we are now.

I think there are three possible outcomes:

a) They throw Jack completely under bus and go back to the original plan and have him doing his best/worst to keep Dannifer apart. J/J are popular but if the show turns Jack into a complet ass again Dannifer will get more support. Old fans will be disgusted but new will go with the flow.

b) Dannifer reunites and Jack moves into a different story. IMO very unlikely as Dannifer have no conflict right now. Daniel feeling sorry for himself because his hands tremors isnīt enough and the election will be over in 2 weeks. I could see them beying "happy" on BB for a few months until either Chloe returns or Danīs eyes starts wandering again but as the show seems to value him more than Jen I donīt think they will make him the one who screws up. Sadly, I also donīt believe the show sees Matt as an asset outside of J/J. If the show decides they are really over with J/J and donīt even neeed him as obstacle he will be written out.

c) J/J are forced to interact again and Daniel slowly drifts into a different story (or leaves, if SC chooses so). This is of course my favorite variant and I also believe the best for the show as J/J are literally ripe for a good, slow reunion story. While Dannifer are once again in the same position as they were before Carly and before Jack J/J have all these deep, real and relatable issues which begs to be adressed if only the show stopped to be so plot driven. And with the show having approx. 18 months of life left they donīt even have to worry about what will happen once J/J are together again.

IA, that the whole J/J/D storyline was planned to drag out for a long time. I think most fans expected it would, but thought they would get true JnJ angst along the way.
We've had nothng but 3 months of meaningess crap, shoved at us. KC and his gang, began the SL with a lot of potential and Jennifer started out much like herself. I still remember JnJ lengthy scenes where Jennifer helped Jack with Abby's blowout and rejection of him. They were typical JnJ scenes with layers, emotions and dialogue that was fitting to them. Somehow things turned around too fast and and it wasn't until after the cabin scenes, that the fanbase uprising exploded. The viewers could tolerate only so much of MR's Jennifer coldness toward Jack, and when they could see absolutely nothing between them but sheer outword emotional neglect and verbal abuse from Jennifer, intense backlash resulted.

Dan leaving this month, seemed like it was planned long time ago. I remember hearing about it, late nov., early dec., so TPTB new early on that it had to be written in the SL. Not a huge surprise. However, I am disappointed that it wasn't used in a more dramatic aspect for the SL, but just a few days of this dreadful Dr. D goodbye stuff which is totally lame!!! I think most viewers would have endured Dannifer in the short term, and accepted Jennifer pushing Jack away, to be with Dan. I would have liked to see them engaged, even married, and then have only to have fallout, to see MR conflicted. This would have been far more acceptable by soap standards. More time should have been given to layers and heart felt dialogue amongst the 3, to provide the audience insight of their feelings and thoughts. SC is not an actor that plays subtext and layers well, whereas MA and MR have this mastered this with JnJ, and it overshadows what little potential Dannifer has, had or would ever have. Forcing something that is just not there between SC and MR, is the reality of it. TPTB should have never brought back MA, if Dannifer was to move forward. MA's strength as an actor outshines the Dannifer duo ten fold, even with this 1 day a week presence.

When Dan returns and if Dannifer is resurected once more, I think the JnJ fanbase will tune out, unless they are assured a short run and see JnJ as end game.

Totally off topic!...But did anyone know that MR had a affair with Jason Brooks during his stint on days as Peter? Her husband demanded that she leave the show to save their marriage, that's why she left apparently in 1995? I had no idea...I hate this I'm sooo not a gossip but I found that interesting. wasn't too upset about her leaving at the time I hated the Jack recast at the time...was a totally different portrayal of Jack..I stopped watching for a while after that.
Yes, that's actually pretty common knowledge. I dunno if they went so far as to have an affair, but enough that it alarmed Scott to the point that she left the show to "work on her family". The show had to scramble to recast her because Jennifer was in the middle of a big storyline at the time, they sued her for it later.

This is also why you NEVER hear about Peter Blake anymore. He was killed off, Jack and Jennifer were reunited and sent to Africa. That was that.
Wow How did I never know this. I was in my early teens and lost interest after MA left for a long time. Interesting. I could see the appeal there though Jason Brooks is hot! Definitely has his way with the ladies. Sorry for the derail y'all...carry on!
I would just caution that, while it's a long-standing rumor that is accepted by many, to my knowlege it has NOT actually been confirmed by any of the parties involved. There are a couple of websites out there that claim to have the inside story, but that's questionable since the people who would actually know aren't talking.

Yes, MR left the show abruptly in 95, and yes, the show filed a lawsuit for breach of contract. But since the suit was either later dropped or settled privately, any allegations in that suit were never confirmed or proven. Nobody was talking and the entire matter was never referred to again. Btw, there were other rumors swirling at the time, including that MR had a stalker or that there was some other personal (health?) challenge she was going through. The role of Jennifer was recast and MR became a stay-at-home mom who had another child a couple of years later.

When MR came back to the show in 2001, the show seemed to have written out that chapter of Jennifer's history, which fueled renewed speculation about what happened in 95.

The rumor has been repeated so often that there seem to be a number of fans who just accept it as fact. But again none of us really knows what, if anything, happened.

ETA: I feel compelled to urge caution because MR has children who are now in high school and college. Either they or their friends might come across a reference to this topic and I would hope that they would also see it labelled as gossip, innuendo, and speculation rather than absolute fact. Just sayin'

Jason Brooks was listed in that lawsuit for a reason, they had an affair, and he was involved in her departure as a result.

"MR had a stalker or that there was some other personal (health?) challenge she was going through." - why would Jason be listed if those were the issues?

Sorry, I personally find it naive to see people calling it a rumor still - 1. JB is named in the lawsuit 2.MR has never denied it 3. Peter has become an unmentionable on the show 4. Missy NEVER mentions Peter or Jason

This stuff that's airing right now and next week is what they were filming back in November, when all those tweets started circulating from @nbcdays, @heyjude, @daysofourlives, about what fans thought about Jack. Remember those? There were a ton sent out...Who should Jen be with? What do we think about Jack? Our thoughts on Jacks character outside the triangle. etc..

I bet the writers were trying to make final decisions on where to go with Jack/Jen/Daniel for when SC returned a month later, and wanted fan input. March will be when we find out, I bet

EDIT: Thinking about it, they were also tweeting a lot of questions, asking our thoughts on Daniel's character too.

Examples

@Daysofourlives : "Newer viewers just meeting Jack seem to respond to him differently than others. How long have you watched & what do you think of Jack? #Days"

@nbcdays: "Are you on Team Jack or Team Daniel? What should Jennifer do? #DOOL"

There were a lot of positive tweets for Jack in response to their questions so hopefully they realize that fans value Jack more so than Daniel.

I can't cite the issue number or anything but I can distinctly remember reading about it in SOD after it happened. It wasnt in graphic detail but the article definitley mentioned there being an off stage fling of some sort. I was in high school and could put 2 and 2 together on that situation. When I happened to read about it again on Wiki just a few months back I was actually more surprised that Jason Brooks' Wiki is squeaky clean with no mention of the affair. It's a man's world I suppose. ---oh, but found it interesting that during the same time frame, he had a fiancé or girlfriend who had his baby either later that year or early into the following year. (Scandelacious!)
