Oh yeah, well in that case you're right its a lost cause! lol. Rafe is the new Bo, even though he's nothing like the real Bo. Makes sense to them, I guess. |

It's funny...when they fired Drake, it was very obvious they were trying to make Rafe into another John Black. It was stupid and you cannot replicate John Black. Same goes for Bo Brady, now that he's leaving, I suppose they are going to try and do the same thing, but it can't be done. |

I see Rafe as Roman Jr, just saying. |

I totally agree but I don't think it's intentional. They've tried to make him John, Bo, Shane, and Roman. Maybe just make him Rafe. |

I think the character of Rafe has a place on the show. Not everyone can be related - lol. The problem for his character has been the writing. They really should have done a storyline about his background or something, like bringing in Emily. They still can do that. I loved SAFE but the writing has really ruined them for me, but I am not opposed to other pairings for him. If the writing is there and there's chemistry, I'm down. |

Part of Alexis' development, though, is that she has been involved with a lot of men -- Sonny and Rick being the most important for the story, but also Lane Davies' Cameron and others. She's not solely defined by those relationships, but they have helped shape her and open up future story for her, whether she's in a romance or not. Even when she's alone, she's still a woman of the world. The cycle of bad supercouple writing on Days means that most of the characters really haven't been shaped by story/experience in a long time. Jennifer has been with a lot of men, but we can't really talk about how Peter or Colin or Frankie or Dan affect who she is now, because the Days writers don't write for character like that. So Jennifer's story is barer and reduced to something more basic than Alexis', and her reasons for being on the show are fewer. Part of this is who is writing, but part of it is just Days' supercouple writing and management in general, because what is interesting about Alexis has survived some awful regimes at GH. |

Rafe and Hope? Rape? Rope? I am quite worried for Miss Hope. Worried that we will very soon see her in a triangle with Dan and Jennifer. |

Plus, Alexis is special. Man, I miss Rexis. I really do. Before they ruined Ric. |

I think Hope is safe for the moment. Dan seems to be involved in the beginnings of a Dan/Nicole/Rafe triangle. |

Nicole is one of my favorite female characters, but I will gladly deal with that triangle just so I can FF all of those scenes and miss Daniel and Rafe at the same time. I'll sacrifice Nicole if I have to. |

I will def quit watching DAYS if they pair my favorite woman ever on the show Hope, with EJ, whom I am sick and tired of. The show should've killed him when he was thinking about shooting himself in the head a few years back! I wish Peter Reckell(Bo) would stay, but if not I think I would like Rafe paired with Hope over any other man on the show. Noone else on the current canvas would be good for Hope except Rafe. I just hate that Hope has to be paired with anyone, maybe she doesn't a la GH's Alexis, as mentioned earlier!

The solution is Tami! Throw in Rafe....and its PERFECT! But if Jennifer insists on the Glo, then she can join them! |

the main difference between Hope & Alexis is that none of Hope's kids (outside of Ciara) are in Salem, but all 3 of Alexis' are in Port Charles. It's the fact that Alexis is Sonny's lawyer (& his ex) along with the fact that she has 3 daughters - all of which are old enough to carry their own stories that gives Alexis stuff to do. In order for Hope to be Days' Alexis, Ciara would need to be SORASed to pre-teen, and any combination of Chelsea, Shawn D, & JT return. (Zack returning from the dead isn't an option since both Peter & Kristian have been very vocal about not wanting that to happen, & so far that's the ONE thing that all the writers since the Zack's death storyline have honored) |

They are probably over the whole back from the dead thing. Did not know they were both so against it. It is one of the things I would not mind seeing though. They could actually get good story from this. Maybe Stefano had him and was training him as the next pawn or something with plans to use a Brady to destroy a Brady ( a friend of mine had the idea) |

Some things are sacred. Its probably the best work Kristian Alfonso has ever done in her career and she probably doesn't want it to be messed with. I don't blame her. If Stefano had JT that could be a good story. Or even just JT coming back. I think Bo being in the equation would have made that story a lot better because he could have been weary of JT and Hope could have been overly accepting. Anyway, that ship has sailed. Still I agree with the point that Hope needs a SORASed Ciara, Shawn, or JT in Salem. She doesn't need it to stay viable, but she definitely needs them to enhance her character. |

Hope is a cop. They give plenty for Rafe Hernandez to do as a cop. There is no way Hope should have nothing to do. She should be a more important cop than Rafe, no ifs ands or buts. |

Agreed! Its time for Roman to step down. He needs to go somewhere. Please fire his ass and promote Hope! She could be the Anna Devane of DAYS. I would love to see her as commissioner running the Salem PD. If Roman must stay he can work under her. I don't ever include Rafe in my wants because he isn't a part of anything I envision for this show, but she can be his boss too considering Roman magically made Rafe a cop over night again. |
