Sometimes I wonder why they're so persistent with the Daniel character. So many people just don't like him. They might've, if he hadn't been so quick to jump in bed with most of the female population of Salem, but as it stands, I don't see why they don't cut their losses. They keep him around and get rid of other characters that we care about.

They should have cast him as Mike Horton, and slowed way down on the women, and he would've been liked.

Oh, well. The good news for me is that Melanie will soon be GONE. I will be SOOOOO glad to see her go. All that baby talk she was constantly doing, and the fake smile, and having all the guys fall in love with her at the drop of a hat, while she dithered over them, because after all, they SHOULD be panting after her til she made her choice, right?

She was a real piece of work, that one.

I think maybe someone had a point when they said the guys with the hot chests, etc. just keep going from woman to woman even know they actually for the most part suck as characters.

Brady would be good because she always called Bo "Brady" anyway, so when she calls out Brady in her sleep, even if she meant Bo, Brady wouldn't know the difference (or something like that.............)

Could it be possible that Johnny is Lucas's son? I see his name on the script, as well as EJ, Sami, and Nick. Maybe Nick will reveal that Johnny is Lucas's son.

Hmmm...Johnny appears but no Sami? Must be with EJ.

What about Greg Vaughn's character for Hope?

If they're filming, that's great. It gives us something to watch for even though Days isn't on.

Isn't that Eric, her nephew? Still there are so many random pairings so it could happen but i really doubt it.

The only way I see to go with Dan's character is to have him totally embrace his sleaziness. Well I think HE does embrace it, but everyone else needs to embrace it. He needs to do something over the top sleazy and become a "bad guy." IF that happens I see a little more life in that character. As is, its time to die.

Ooh, I like this idea! I'm not a Daniel-hater at all. In fact, I know it's unpopular to say here, but I quite like him. But I'm not attached to him being a good guy. I think I would enjoy him sleazing it up more. I think most characters are more interesting when they're not good.

I wish they'd have a hot, smug guy character who was simply unappologetically sleazy. Not bad. Not asshatty. Not evil. Just sleazy. Unforutunately, they have soap characters either treat you like a saint of the devil incarnate. There are no other characters. Hell, I wish they'd start writing actual characters instead of giving the actors fake names and lines to say.

I didn't hate Daniel as much as I do now until Chloe.

How he could not give her a second chance, he supposedly loved her, she didn't know the baby wasn't his. She was set up by Vivian and she was insecure because of his feelings for Carly.
To just abandon someone you loved because they made a mistake and were less than perfect.

And the worst thing is now he is helping Nicole do the exact same thing and lie about the paternity of a baby.

He pretends to be noble and so morally superior to everyone but hes a big self serving hypocrite.

He doesn't need to become a "bad guy" he is a bad guy deluding himself he's better than everyone else.

I was on a Days hiatus during that time, so that might be why I still like him.

I agree with all of this. And Daniel could be this character. Kind of Chris K. for the new millennium.

Who /What is Berman u/5? Is Nick a doctor? Maybe he is at the hospital. Maybe someone takes Nicole to the hospital because she is on labor. Preety sure Johnny is with Ej and maybe they run into someone like Kristen or Nicole.
I think Jason47 said once that U/5 meant an under age 5 actor? Maybe Berman's the new little girl we saw?
No, it's under five lines.
Damn. I got excited because I thought maybe Johnny was getting a little 'girlfriend'.

He's already most of the way there. It's not so much what Daniel does that needs to change, but how other characters react to it. (That and the "Jonas family"/eggbaby stuff.)

I would love to see Daniel not be whitewashed and called out for the sleaze he is. I remember a character on Santa Barbara called TJ. Total sleaze, but he was a fun character. He spent most of his time trying to get in all the female character's pants. Dan is more than half way there. I might actually like him if he embraced his greaseball side and went that route.

What they should do with Daniel is really let him embrace that sleazy part of him. I don't like him because he's sleazy but they try to make him look like such a good guy...when he's not. He should be trying to slut it up with the women of Salem and eventually.....bring some new woman in and have him try to get in her pants only to have her reject him, over and over, because she knows his reputation. That is a start of a good romance. Right now, no one seems special to him because he basically gets every chick he hooks up with. There needs to be a challenge. The last character I remember being a cad was Justin. He was a slut. But he fell in love with Adrienne and he changed, we saw a more sensitive side to him. I enjoyed that. Right now I can't stand Daniel...but I think he could be saved if the writing was there.
