Bring back Jack!

^ But that's the point. They fired MA so they can try and slot Jennifer into some other triangle that makes no sense? The decision to fire Matt is just coming across as a personal spiteful decision because THEY want to put Jennifer with someone else even though it will probably be just as unpopular as Dannifer. Nobody gets why they are keeping her after firing him but the scenarios people come up with are all triangle or couple related. Why fire half of a couple just to create another couple for the half remaining (especially considering how poorly received this decision has been the previous 7 times they attempted it).

They should bring back (obvious a recast) Peter for her.

^ No they shouldn't. This is the point. Why fire Matt to bring in another old love for her. Write for what's there now. Bringing back other men or creating new men that wont be half as successful or popular is just ridiculous. And if you need to constantly get rid of Jack to have Jennifer move on then it doesn't work. You don't see John or Bo being killed off to try and re-pair Hope or Marlena with others. Why do J&J and their fans get treated this way. They are all supercouples but it's like J&J are the redheaded stepchild and the personal agenda is becoming more & more clear each time they fire MA and kill Jack or have him "leave". If they want to break them up then do it but there's no need to fire an actor over and over because you're too untalented to write a realistic separation and actually write something other than triangles or bedhopping.

The point is they fired Matt. He's not an option for Jennifer anymore.

So I'd take a recast old love over Daniel any day since Jack isn't an option.

Yes I'm well aware he was fired. But it makes no sense to kill Jack and then bring back a different ex. And the fact is Peter is a time period they wont revisit with Jennifer for obvious reasons. Even without that though her being paired with Peter again after all he did to her and Jack would be more damaging than her reuniting with Daniel (which I wouldn't want either). For me it's not an either/or. No pairing they create for her would be acceptable for me because of the fact they ignored the story right here for Jack & Jennifer. If they can't write a story which is right there then no other creation is going to make a difference. Jennifer wont regain the popularity she lost by putting her in another couple - no matter who it is. Maybe I'm being unreasonable but for me Jennifer staying around without Jack just to be paired with someone different (when the story is J&J) is pointless.

Then they should have gotten rid of her too along with MA, but they kept her so with them bringing back Kristen who was from that time, Peter could be a possibility to make her get something.

They didn't even write for J&J while MA was here. They're both barely on, so I don't understand why they kept her. They should have sent them off together.

Don't know what Kristen's return has to do with it. There were other time periods aside from the 90's that Jennifer was involved in. I don't see the point of Jennifer being here if they are just going to repeat what was unpopular last year. Just more destruction of her character more likely. All I know is they should not pair her with anyone else.

I vastly prefer KS anyway....would rather Belle stay gone or be recast than have Martha back. Really though I'd be great with a 'dead' Belle and a returned to Salem Shawn and Claire, with Jason Cook of course.
I was all for Martha until she began this bullshit about "considering going back to DAYS if they asked" bitch please... she'd go back in a heartbeat if asked. Besides, Kirsten has become a much better actress now. I want her back as Belle.

Hey all, I figured I'd post this here since it's the 'most relevant' to this thread (and since it's a slow week, tweet-wise). I'll be in Burbank for a few days and plan on taking an NBC studio tour while I'm there. I'm sure there are many of you who have taken it so, what do you suggest? Does one get to see much of the DAYS section/set? Can we see any actors? Where would I buy tickets?

I know that next week is the week back from the hiatus and that ED, DH, and DH2 will be filming, so I definitely want to get a chance to see them (hopefully!) .

Let me know what you think/what your suggestions are.
I didn't see a thing when I went, lol. I think you just have to time it right. You pass by the dressing rooms and the set. And actually, I lied. We did see some sets that kind of let us know a few things were happening. You walk by some of the sets that they have waiting to be put up. So like, when I went Abe and Lexie's bedroom was there. It was torn down, but there was a label. At that time, we hadn't seen their room in years, so it was obvious something was going to happen with them.

Warning: it's a frustrating tour. They talk a lot about "crazy soap fans" and then the say a lot of wrong information. Of course you can't say anything, because then you're a crazy soap fan.
Ha. Very true. Most of the links say the same about soap fans. I just read this link (below) though, and am afraid that the tours truly are discontinued. Anyone know if this is true??

http://laist.com/2012/07/06/nbc_studio_tours_end_for_good_in_bu.php


(And thanks for the tips Lysie! Much appreciated :D )
Wow I hope they haven't discontinues the studio tours they are a lot of fun & if you are lucky you can see
what sets they are filming on that day & who is filming. I have been about 5
or six times, the last time was in November 2011. I will have to ask around & see what the deal is with
the tours.

The tip about going around lunch time is a good one since Days seems to be
on a split taping schedule so you might catch stars walking to lunch or heading home for the day.

I saw Casey D & Mark H in the hall during one tour as they were leaving for the day they stopped &
chatted with us very friendly but the tour guide got mad.
One tourJames Scott walked past us on to the set & sort of Caught Ali Sweeney running lines
on the set with her hair up in curlers once lol . I happened to be there for Missy's first day back
and saw her on the monitor as she was taping.
Now I went once & didn't see anyone so it is
all a matter of luck

It would be great if you could find out anything! I would appreciate it very much :D Like I said, I'm dyyying to go (since it would be my first time ever!!) and I'm seriously very sad that it happens to be canceled :badmood:

It's not just the actors that I want to see, but the whole behind the scenes of television making as well, which is a bonus!

It's been many years since I went. I hope that report isn't true and they haven't stopped doing the tours - I really enjoyed mine! We got to see a lot of soap sets that were "put away" (and the Phloe fangirl in me freaked the freak out by being able to touch the folded up Welseys' porch where Phloe had their first kiss), and we also saw two giant sound stages - one was closed up and they were filming in there (we could see Shawn and Belle in the pool together on a TV monitor, like the ones they have in the makeup room), and the other stage was open and we could see all the sets that were there. They said they moved between the two sound stages so that they could film quickly without having to spend time waiting to set up. I so wanted to see a Days actor...and who did we actually see? Freaking Kyle Brandt. Fauxlip. Total disappointment.

But as was mentioned, we got to go past the dressing rooms and the wardrobe room and all kinds of fun things. It's also fun walking around Salem Place, which is where the tours start (inside the movie theater! LOL) If they're still running, definitely do it.

No way! That's so fun!! I really hope the report isn't true, at least not completely.

I wouldn't accept Jennifer with anyone else - even if Matt quit the show by choice LOL (because I just can't stand seeing her with anyone else). But the way they try and do it is always at his expense and that's my biggest issue. I can't believe they truly think we'll accept it if Jack is dead. Because that worked out so well the last 600 times. Whether Jack "abandons" her or is "dead" or whatever other thing they try and do to destroy his character when they fire him it will never make it acceptable for Jennifer to move on. Can they not see that having to get Jack offscreen to force her to move on says all there is about it. If you have to try so hard then it's not going to be accepted - ever (especially when it's so obvious that there's an agenda).
Another thing that frustrates me is that they've never tried to establish another relationship for Jack. If they wanted to separate Jack and Jennifer, they should have done it on all fronts. Not have just Jennifer move on while Jack moped around and looked like the loser reject again. Matthew Ashford and Jack are immensely popular... so why couldn't they figure out that it might be a good plan to try and establish another relationship there? All signs point to such a relationship being way more successful than Jennifer/Random Guy 4... fans were open to it and fans wanted it. So I fail to see why they couldn't explore such paths instead of taking the "let's kill off Jack and screw over the fans part 45" plan.

I think one of the biggest mistakes made was focusing on hate for Daniel and Jennifer - it shouldn't have been taken that way at all, but I think the show took all of that backlash as evidence that they'd never be able to put Jennifer with someone else as long as Jack was there. The approach everyone should be taking from now on is focusing on love and support for Matt/Jack, and those things alone. My tweets, letters and emails have more or less included stuff like this: "Whether you want to invest in Jack and Jennifer or not, you need to realize that Jack Deveraux is a valued Salemite. We want him in Salem no matter the circumstances - if Jack and Jennifer are together or apart, the support for Matt and Jack will always be there. Fans have been open to seeing Jack with someone new for a while now - why don't you give him a love story and establish him outside of Jack and Jen if that's the direction you want to take? No one wanted to see Jack Deveraux the loser reject who envied Daniel Jonas... fans wanted to see Jack and Nicole, or Jack and someone new. Why couldn't you go with something like that instead? At least fans would have been able to enjoy their favorite character instead of having him destroyed by a pairing they hated. Even now with Kristen returning, fans show interest in a potential pairing with her and Jack - the possibilities are endless. What is known for certain is that fans have never accepted the mistreatment of Matthew Ashford and Jack. That won't change now - we want him back." Those are just some phrases I put together quickly, but those are the sentiments I've been trying to express in all of the stuff I've been sending. Taking the Jack & Jen support approach/Dannifer bashing approach will clearly offend them and result in more terrible decision-making like MA's firing and Jack's killing... but if we focus on support for Jack/Matt, they might get the picture that he's loved and supported no matter what and killing him or cutting him off is not the way to go.

I'm seriously upset that they're killing him off again. THIS show... like I just can't... they can't be so fucking stupid. :facepalm:

If I still cared enough to be moved one way or the other, I'd be majorly pissed about Jack apparently being killed for the umpteenth time. As it is, I'm just indifferent to pretty much everything at this point (the news about ED being the one exception to that).

Random Guy 4? You're being a bit generous there LOL (it's more like 7 at this point).

I am only arguing the J&J points here because they seem to be all about making Jack only viable with Jennifer and his death is linked to her needing to move on again. When we tweet etc I don't bring up Jennifer at all and I never mention Daniel or Dannifer since I don't want them taking it as "buzz". If they are so determined to further damage Jennifer by giving her another lame love interest then I am all for Jack getting someone new. I have seen plenty of support for it yet they seem to want to blame the fans for not letting him move on himself. I don't remember seeing anyone asking for a Nicole/Daniel pairing but here we are giving him another woman to ruin when the support was for Jacole. I think they are afraid to test Jack with anyone for fear of succeeding and not having him there for Jennifer to fall back on when her nuromance fizzles.

I just think MA has as much place on this show as anyone else (and more than some others) yet for some reason I don't know why they think he's dispensable. I don't know if they are so naive they think we'll go away once they kill him off. I don't care if he's holding the bomb when it explodes I don't plan on going anywhere. I guess Tomlin thinks this is his best option after his suicide idea was nixed.

I think every supercouple has its ruts. They may not fire PR all the time, but they have had a habit of constantly bringing back Bo's exes and trying to go back to those old triangles. Etc.

Right they bring back his exes for a triangle but then they don't have Hope offscreen whilst Bo gets cozy with them. They give her something to do whilst it's happening. They don't kill her or write Bo as a victim because they want to put him with someone else. They don't act like Bo has no flaws whilst Hope is at fault for all their problems (though they sometimes make Bo the bad guy). I just see no comparison. J&J as a supercouple are treated differently. Agree or not but there's no way any of the others have gotten the shaft as much as J&J. It's not like any of it is for any other reason than to give Jennifer yet another love interest. Why write him off when they do it. Why not actually give him another pairing too? That's the issue here. Jack doesn't need to be killed off and their reasons for doing it are based on their own agenda.

Good point, but at least Bo had some success with love interests other than Hope. Bo/Carly and Bo/Billie had their followings. By contrast, Jennifer + -------- (insert random guy who isn't Jack) hasn't gone over well in the past. And yet TIIC keep trying that formula ad infinitum, ad nauseum. Aren't there some words of wisdom regarding the stupidity of doing the same thing over and over again in hopes of a different result? If TPTB had any sense, they'd keep Jack/MA and try the unexplored reverse scenario of Jack developing feelings for a woman who's not Jennifer. Considering how shabbily she treated him this time around, that would have been a plausible scenario.
