Two wedding proposals? Even though it would be way too soon I won't be at all surprised if Brady and Madison are one, but who else? Please tell me not Daniel and Jennifer. I could see Daniel returning from his too-short trip to announce he's realized he can never again leave the woman he loves more than any other (until he meets his next patient) and proposes to her.

Thanks for posting.
There aren't too many unmarried couples on the show right now, so I think I agree that Brady and Madison may be one of the couples in question. Don't know about Daniel popping the question when he gets back--i suppose he might, if Jack and Jennifer haven't reunited by his return, and I don't think they will, since spoilers have Jack keeping his distance. But whoever it is, proposals don't necessarily translate into engagements--either or both women might say "no."
Since when has Jennifer ever said no to Daniel? I'm all for Daniel and Jen-Jen getting engaged If it allows Jack to see Jennifer for who and what she really is then I'm all for it.

I'm wondering if one of the proposals is a couple remarrying, like John and Marlena or maybe even EJ and Nicole?

The only other options if we are talking new couples are Brady/Madison and Daniel/Jennifer.
Didn't AS do a tout with AZ where Nicole has a big, new ring on her finger? Cue Ejami sex reveal at the Ejole wedding in May.
Oh please, please Mardar, not another EJ failed joke of a wedding. The last two were extremely painful :angry:

Oh, if it's Daniel popping the question, I fully expect Jen-Jen to say yes. To rush into an engagement with a man she really doesn't know all that well and who doesn't know her all that well, either--they both have an idealized vision of each other that bears little resemblance to the actual person--and live to regret it. So let Jennifer get everything she thought she wanted, and then have to cope with the inevitable disillusionment that's coming her way. Because I suspect Doc Dreamy may turn out to be her worst nightmare.

Jack will be deeply hurt, of course, but he'll have Marlena and (I hope) his support group to get him through this crisis. He needs to move on from Jennifer in earnest--make a good life and possibly open himself to new romantic possibilities. To become the man he's meant to be, rather than twist himself like a pretzel trying to be the man Jennifer thinks she wants. Because only then is Jennifer likely to realize just what she's lost in him.

I think this one's going to be super romantic....Bree, Gouda and cave-aged Gruyere all in one! Oh the yummy goodness! May's probably when Nicole will find out.

I think EJole are going to renew their vows...they did marry in Feb. Also, good way to distract Nicole from her snooping.

And I'm not on team Fire M&D...I'm on team "Kill Sami."
I play for both teams.

How do we get a tshirt and when does the fire mardar campaign begin? I am all for it. 6 months for these hacks is enough.

I don't even care enough anymore to campaign for new writers again. The show cashed its last cry-wolf ticket in Marlene and Darrell with me.

Don't fucking care about Chad and Melanie :censored:
Or Daniel coming back. :badmood:
I swear they've spent more time throwing hyperbolic good-bye hissyfits for him than he's actually going to BE away!

I still think the problem is less what they write than who they're forced to write for and prop to the highest heavens. Get rid of Sami, Daniel and Melanie and the show would be perfectly watchable no matter what MarDar churned out.

That would be an improvement, but it wouldn't fix the fundamental issue with their writing, which, for me, is that nothing happens.

2 fucking wedding proposals? They are probably related to couples that we don't give a shit about. If I'm wrong and there are SERIOUS, EARTH-SHATTERING consequences stemming from the proposals, I'll gladly punch myself in the face.

WHERE IS THE DRAMA?! Jesus Fuck.

Fire MarDar -- I hope they're reading.

Come on Ron, We are counting on YOU !!

Anyone missing the days that Corday use to spill it all?

I like the vagueness of the spoilers but they could really give a little more you know.

I'm actually 100% down with this as long as Jennifer says yes. This could actually be pretty good. Jennifer gets her dream (agreed it will be her nightmare), Jack gets to flip shit because it's one thing to say let's just see what happens and a whole other to see your wife whom you were dating a month ago become engaged to the other guy. Then you have Abby who is going to flip shit because of Melanie and because she wanted to punish her dad not see her parents apart for good. It actually reminds me of when Abby got excited when Dan came over to check on Parker and she and Jenn argued about because Jennifer said that Abby doesn't want her to move on but instead punish Jack. I know we won't get JJ back but this could also be more then a minor issue for him and maybe even use it as his refussal to come home. If they go with this they better do it all the way and start Jennifer's fall from grace. :soapbox:

So the two stories that almost everyone has been in favor of -- and that almost everyone says they want to see more of -- are not even mentioned. No PTSD/Jack and no Will is Gay. Not only that, but there is nothing in these previews that is designed to get hundreds of thousands of viewers to tune in. Not one thing.

I think somebody needs to explain to MarDar what "sweeps" means. That's the time when you really want to have big, epic moments that shake up the whole canvas. You know, like a blizzard or huge pile-up on the freeway or a murder mystery -- something that's intense and action-packed, something that grabs the viewers and keeps them tuning in not only during that sweeps month, but beyond.

The "Johnny is Missing (and Hiding Under a Table)" story for November that led to the Ejami encounter was close, I guess. But that story got viewer ratings up for about a nanosecond only to see them plummet to all-time lows shortly thereafter.

But KC said not to worry, it was all part of the plan and stories would really be kicking into high gear by February.

I think somebody needs to explain to KC what "high gear" means.

Agreed.

But maybe there isn't that much more to tell.

Makes me think that the writers didn't know how long SC would be out for.

Sadly, I think the show has wasted so much money on BLOATING their cast to roughly 30 contractual people in hopes of gaining viewership that they simply have no money left to provide us with such action-packed stories that you've mentioned.

SO. MUCH. THIS. At least at the end of DH's reign, I cared enough to campaign against her and express my outrage almost daily. Now I don't care about Days at all. The only reason I come to DR is because of the posters. If everybody here would just agree to start posting about a different show that I actually watch, I'd be in heaven.
