Personally, maybe what MR thinks is between her and the Lord? :shrug: I think those are the only two who would know if her beliefs are true. Frankly, kudos for her beliefs, as long as she doesn't go all Rick Santorum on us or uses it as "show" to impress people. It takes a lot of courage to proclaim faith honestly in today's world.
ITA. To each his own.

I think CC and GG play well off each other. I have no idea if Carrie and Rafe will ever actually hookup or if this is just all a tease but if this show does what it always does Austin and Carrie will eventually end back up together. Although, I wouldn't mind seeing carrie with someone else for awhile just not sure who

Neither do I, but it's likely than an actor and actress couple who give their son a purity ring or (whatever they're called) would have a different take on the topic.

I guess it just depends on where the line would be drawn for them. From the interviews I've read, MR very much sees Days as a professional gig and that work is work and their personal lives are just that. I don't get any read on her that she'd make a big hoopla about premarital sex on the show, but I do have to admit that it IS surprising she doesn't based on how vocal she is about their faith.

Scott Reeves is also in a pairing on GH that routinely hits the sheets (one scene involved a stripper pole, believe it or not) and I've not heard anything about him speaking out, either.
There was a discussion on the Days NBC forum a few years ago after MR left the last time. Her stated reason was that her husband (and she, I guess) did not approve of unmarried sex, so he didn't want her character to be having sex with Frankie. They must have seen the light on real vs. professional in these tough economic times and decided to hell with that qualm.
I'm not overly familiar with GH, but I'm pretty sure his character has had some premarital sex and I know his Y&R character did.
I'm not overly familiar with Scott Reeves GH character either, but I've read various recaps and I think his character has been involved with a couple of woman outside of a marital relationships. So it's clearly not an issue for him and given Missy's vocal appreciation for the pairing with Daniel, it's not an issue for her either.

I'm not overly fond of either Rafe or Carrie, and generally find both of them to be pretty bland and boring, but I do see something from the two of them together that has stopped me from using the FF button. I don't think they will be a long term couple. I think eventually, when the truth comes out that Abby lied, Carrie will grovel and she and Austin will end up back together. I don't know who Rafe will end up with, but I think Safe is over for the time being. They can always revisit them later, but I dont think that will happen any time soon.

Thank god soaps fans weren't as against in-laws dating or siblings switching partners back in the olden days (or that TPTB listened to them even if they were) or we'd never have had the SPECTACULAR Bill/Laura/Mickey triangle. And we won't even bring up Julie/Doug/Addie....

If soap characters respected uncrossable bounderies, we might as well be watching Little House on the Prairie.

Yeah. I think the show was a lot more successful back when it wasn't afraid to cross boundaries. Then again, I'm still planning to ship Elope even if EJ is her kid.

I always thought the Hortons were Catholic. :shrug:
They were Protestant in the early days, but then they made Marie a nun. Maree Cheatham, who played Marie, said she pointed out to the writers at the time that the Hortons weren't Catholic but they told her it didn't matter. A minister, not a priest, always married the early Horton couples, e.g., Mickey/Laura, Bill/Laura, Doug/Julie, etc.
Salem Presbyterian Church is where Jennifer was going to marry Emilio. Not sure if the Horton's are Catholic.
(When Jack is planning to rescue Jen from her wedding to Emilio, he tells Vern this is where the wedding is. It could be a writing/dialogue mistake)
It is the same Church where Adrienne and Justin got married, the 2nd time.

You know, Hope's getting a divorce from John, and Nicole in all probability will be filing those divorce papers she's been holding in reserve......this could be the perfect time for Elope.

Ooh, I haven't thought of taking that angle. I've been so disappointed since my story revolving around the Carly triangle didn't work out. Once again, there's always Hope for Elope!

I guess it's just me, but I don't see it as that big a deal. :shrug:

They must have seen the light on real vs. professional in these tough economic times and decided to hell with that qualm.
I really don't think that was the issue. Scott Reeves was moving to Nashville to pursue a country music career, and so the family moved with him. It's not as if Frankie was the first person Jennifer had premarital sex with, and hell, Jennifer was engaged to him at the time. I'm not saying Missy was happy with her storyline (she flat-out said she wasn't) but I don't think she quit her job over it.

For me, the thought of Rafe having sex or any kind of relationship with his SIL other than friends or co workers, turns my stomach. There are such things as boundaries you don't cross, and this, IMO, is one of them. If the writers want to pair Rafe with someone else for awhile, then so be it, but not with Carrie, please. There is no chemistry there - zip, zilch, nada, zero.
I agree with your basic premise, in that there are certain couples I wouldn't want to see him because of the loyalties I feel certain characters have for each other. For instance, some people have brought up the possibility of a Bo/Jennifer pairing in the past, and I wouldn't want to see it because I wouldn't want to see Jennifer do that to Hope. That friendship is fairly sacrosanct.

But this situation I don't think applies. Sami and Carrie have hooked up with more important people to each other than Rafe (namely Austin and Lucas) that Rafe's just a drop in the bucket. And the Rafe/Sami relationship is not some golden untouchable relationship in my eyes. I think Cafe is fine and presently Carrie and Rafe's best option (although I'd still prefer Mike with her)

I just want to know when Carrie will figure out that the man Abby is telling her about is Austin. It can't be to far out since they have Rafe finding out about Sami next wk

I really hope we don't see a Rafe/Carrie relationship. I don't really care who Carrie is with--Austin is fine, Lucas is fine, Mike for that matter, but I certainly hope Rafe does succeed at saving his marriage. So much has been put into the development of the SAFE relationship; I wouldn't ever want Days to lose this one. It was not a sudden, impulsive or strategically planned fling for Sami. This one caught her off guard and went right to her core. She knows Rafe is the one who loves her like no other, who makes her that better person, and loves her just because he does. Rafe and Sami are the reason I tune in.

The 'Carrie Cheats' story has done so many times--let's move on! This path we are presently going on is not new and using the characters of Austin and Rafe to make it happen just cause them to appear as puppets. I look forward to Rafe being written in character again. At least on the last two episodes, we saw glimpses of real Rafe again. He seems determined and introspective, and he knows what he wants--his wife. Let's keep it that way. No matter whan unfolds in the next few weeks, I hope that SAFE survives.

With Lucas coming back and the rumors of Patrick Muldoon not being long for the show, that may be a touch overly optimistic. Safe was Higley's baby. With her gone, they're no longer untouchable.

SO many on the boards regardless of "couple shipping" have had enough of Safe!! It's painful to watch, and three years of it is more than enough torture for many viewers. I'm optimistic about Lucas coming back and reinstalling his parental role with his children. I don't ship Cafe, mainly because my deep desire is to see Rafe off the show completely - not because personal agenda (if it was so I would hate Lucas' return - and I don't), not because of threat to my couple, but simply because I can't stand him, never have, never will, no matter who he's paired with. And for the love of all soapy, I really, really hope that Lucas doesn't worship at his altar when he returns.

Contracts have 13 week options, and are in place to protect the show, not the actor.

I remember the NBC/Days website having a "what family are you" quiz posted a couple months back** and they mentioned all the religions of the families and I do believe the Horton's were Protestant or Presbyterian (I am so non religious I don't know what any of that means...but I know they weren't Catholic.)

(**unless I totally dreamt that I took this quiz and no such quiz ever existed)
