Brady and Jennifer consoling each other and leading to something romantic could happen with time taken. No one is going to believe an instant relationship with these two. But if you have them interacting with each other, without pushing them together instantly, there could be something. There could be chemistry between the actors. Have the audience get used to seeing in them in scenes together and see what happens. If it's a hit, move along with it to the next phase. Jack and Madison can't die in August, and then Brady and Jennifer are happily together by November. |

November?? That wouldn't be too bad, I'm thinking they'll be madly in love by late September. :drunk: Lately, all TPTB want to do is have EM and SC in numerous shirtless, bedroom scenes. It's complete overkill. They must think everyone watching just wants to have constant drool hanging down their mouths, with absolutely NO interest in these men having substance. It's beyond boring.

The problem is taping. They could be headed down the love train as we speak and we haven't even seen them in scenes together yet. My main issue is I think Jennifer is a dead end. She's too old to keep flitting around in romances.and the last thing this show needs is yet another drug addiction story. Weren't folks complaining with Carly and now we have Brady. |

Yes, I agree. Jennifer has no sex appeal but that's fine if they want her to be the new Alice. What I just don't understand is why they feel they have to get rid of Jack to give her a story (and we all know the ONLY kind of story she gets...insta-love, one after another :puke: ). It would have been a perfect time to move JnJ into the main roles, especially with Bo leaving. Why is it so difficult to write for these two characters as a couple? :shrug: |

I wish they would bring Frankie back, now that we're losing Bo. High n' tight being the only Brady brother on screen is just too horrible to contemplate. Thanks for all the hints, Jason and OBK. |

Why would anyone want Jennifer with Peter Blake? He was evil. I am sick of the Melissa Reeves hate. |

The thing that's so annoying is that they want to keep Jennifer and put her in any new romance when they could have done something really good with JnJ. I think that would have to have involved Jack actually getting to be angry/hurt and Jennifer actually really looking at how maybe she failed him too. They seem incapable of allowing Jennifer's negatives to come to the forefront though, and they seem incapable of remembering that Jennifer having to go after a reluctant Jack was actually pretty great. Look, I think it's clear TPTB just don't want Jack on the show. I have my theories as to why, but when they won't even play a story that's right there and could be better than pretty much all the other crap going on, something's weird. I mean, come on, JnJ don't even get a proposal scene or a love scene. That's just bizarre. They both have bodies that are still very much fit for love scenes. It's not even so much that I am really into love scenes, it's just that the fact that the show wouldn't even give JnJ one, when it should have been a big step, tells me that Jack is persona non grata and the show has no interest in JnJ beyond the obligatory reconciliation so that they can toss Jack again. I suppose they just hoped to use Jack for Dannifer angst (which is just crappy, because those mini plots really gave me some hope for something good), and that went askew. Then they figured if they gave JnJ an insta-reunion, that was doing right by a long standing, long loved couple, but then they could kill Jack off and move Jennifer on without all of the backlash. So they seem incapable of properly utilizing Jack, but why do they so want to have Jennifer without Jack over and over again (because they're actually incapable of properly utilizing her too; they just ruin her more and more)? I don't know what they're thinking. I just know it sucks. As to Brady/Jennifer, I don't even care if it were the best romance of the past five years (which wouldn't mean much), it's too gross. I realize EM and MR are actually pretty close in age, but I can't forget Jennifer and Isabella being pregnant at the same time, and it makes Brady's very advanced SORASing too glaring. Actually, I suspect the backlash won't be as bad for Jennifer, because the show's probably beaten the JnJ fans into submission, which I think means they're probably mostly giving up and checking out.

Some of us like evil in our fictional fantasy worlds. Sometimes I want the bad guy to get away in movies and on tv shows. I can't be the only one. |

In most films and shows the bad guys normally get caught and pay at the end. I normally don't root for rapists on SVU or serial killers on Criminal Minds to win and go on raping and killing people. |

^Yup, depends on the bad guy, and it depends on his adversary. Jennifer revisiting Peter . . . blah.

Age means nothing on soaps. If the story and chemistry is on point, any romance can work, even Jennifer and Brady. I would like to see Frankie back now. Warlock is awesome and I'd really like to see Frankie written as an actual character rather than the generic third wheel interloper Reilly wrote. And we already know the chemistry is there with Reeves and Warlock. Now all we would need would be the story. |

But it is hard to get vested in a character you only see in one episode of Criminal Minds or SVU, so they wouldn't be rooted for. On DAYS these criminals we see EVERY DAY for an hour for years. We see the bad, but we also see the good. We see the vulnerability. And even if we don't, we can like them and root for them anyway. I can root for EJ, regardless of if he is a villan, rapist, murderer, gangster, con-artist, liar, theif, kidnapper, abuser, mobster, or whatever label anyone wants to put on him. Why? 1. Because I can. 2. Because he is a fictional character, so who cares? 3. Because he's the sexiest man on earth (IMO). 4. Becasue this show is not reality, or even close, it is nice to escape for real life and think differently. 5. Becasue I CAN. |

It doesn't matter the age that Brady is supposed to be. What matters is the age he is now. Many couples wouldn't work going by the ages that they should be. EJ should only be 15. What bothered me was Max being with his nieces though (blood or not, they were still family). That crossed a line. |

I know age is, uh, malleable on soaps, but I appreciate it when they try to kind of keep characters sort of in the right generation. I know Brady's already blown out of his (which should be Abby's), but he's at least been in a younger set than his parents. Moving him to Jennifer would break the fourth wall for me too much. But what the heck? I won't be watching. If anything, I might be reading spoilers, hoping for a sign of Jack. Pretty much exactly what I'm doing now. We've already seen Frankie/Jennifer not be as good as Jack/Jennifer twice. But that makes about as much sense as tossing Jack to keep Jennifer for whatever new, no hope of comparing to JnJ, pairing makes, which doesn't make sense, so I've just got to try to accept that there's no making sense of it. It'd be one thing if JnJ had been played out, but they weren't even played this time, and there was a lot to play. (Yeah, Max and his two nieces was gross. EJ is all kinds of the wrong age, but EJ's got this whole ridiculous origin anyway, I guess.) Edited by AHM, Jul 11 2012, 01:43 PM.
