For the trifecta we just need an interview with Shawn Christian where he says that Dr Dan aspires to demonstrate the highest possible ethical standards and if he happens to have sexual relations with his female patients, it's only because it's in their best interests - medically speaking of course. And not forgetting he is always the innocent victim when these relationships go awry. Edited by bomber, Oct 30 2012, 09:45 PM.

I guess I am in the minority on this, but I love this storyline. I love Jennifer and Missy. I am whatever about Dan. I've said before that I think on paper the character is good, but the actor brings a lot away from it. Daniel has a lot of ties to Salem, and I think he is good. He would be GREAT character-wise, with a great actor in there. I love this storyline. I was upset about Ashford, but now that he is gone, I don't really see a void in the cast like I think will be felt by Reckell leaving. And I just wasn't digging what they were doing with Jack anyway. |

If TIIC cared about great actors, MA would still be employed at DAYS and Jack would have been given more to do than be Jennifer's traumatized doormat. SC is mediocre at best--but they seem to think the audience thinks he's hot, which is all that matters to them, apparently. And I think that, even on paper, Daniel is a crap character--a middle-aged surfer dude who hits on all his patients romantically and discards them like used tissues when the relationship becomes inconvenient for him? Color me unimpressed. It would be one thing if the show was letting him shine as a cad or a player; instead, he's being shoved down our throats as this noble savior, and the discrepancy between what we see and what the writers tell us about this guy is jarring in the extreme. It doesn't help that they twisted logic and medical science to make him Maggie's egg-baby, either. |

There isn't much of a void since Jack died because we hadn't seen him in four months. The void was left earlier when they dropped the PTSD storyline and did the rushed J/J reunion and ushered them off-screen. and I definitely noticed a void then. ETA Rereading the article I'm pretty sure MR says that Jennifer is angry because she is facing the loss of Daniel and she is upset because this is after losing her Grandmother (2 yrs ago), Jack (who? :sarcasm: ) and her son (who she put in boarding school). So is she saying that thiese anger issues are not a manifestation of grief over Jack but anger at the potential loss of Daniel? That's how I interpret it. Sounds like MR sees it just like we've been saying it's playing out. Edited by bomber, Oct 31 2012, 12:03 AM.

Ugh. Interesting, King, I love Jennifer too, which is why I hate this story. I can't consider this character MR is playing now to even be Jennifer, as she is pretty well devoid of all that made me love Jennifer. In fact, I haven't been very impressed with Jennifer at all since she first returned two years ago. See, I love Jennifer (and Jack), but I actually wasn't happy to hear MR was returning. I figured they'd just do more damage to her and to JnJ. And, boy, did they exceed my expectations for crappiness. I wish the last we'd seen of Jennifer was at Alice's memorial when she said something about Jack still making her laugh. I allowed myself to hope something good would come of her return when I heard that Ashford was returning, but of course they played that all wrong, and we barely even got to see Jack. I was also annoyed by the "she lost her grandmother" line with no mention of losing Jack. Sell the "grieving for Jack drove Jennifer nuts" angle, instead of the "Jennifer loves Dan and doesn't want to lose him" angle, please! I think it's the only way to bring Jennifer out of this story without her being completely ruined. |

I just don't see how I seem to be missing this whole Jennifer is acting out of character thing everyone seems to be thinking. I mean, if she actually DID push a pregnant girl down the stairs, I'd say yes, but Nicole fell...wasn't really pushed. I like Jen's feisty streak! |

I think it's more the circumstances surrounding her anger. There is no way the real Jennifer would be chasing an old boyfriend literally days after Jack's death or continually screaming at a pregnant woman. As others have said, if Jack was at the centre of the triangle because he had implicated himself in Nicole's scheme, people would be more forgiving of her - in fact it might even be a good story (except the Jen I used to love would never harrass a pregnant woman). As it is, it comes across as Jen obsessing over an ex-lover rather than showing any grief. It is like she is proclaiming Daniel as her real love - not Jack (which,of course, is what the writers are trying to say). If Jen was "feisty" because she was protecting Jack, Abby or JJ it would be in character but sinstead she continually attacked Nicole while "protecting" a sleazy doctor who was more than capable of taking responsibility for his own actions.

No truer word have ever been spoken... Jennifer is now my most hated character on the show....I simply cannot even stand the sight of her and I think Melissa Reeves is a pathetic homophobe who I have ZERO respect for. Dannifer is the worst couple to hit this show ever! |

I agree with this. Up until where you wrote "And have her back ..." The writing for Jenn has been bad, we can probably all agree on that. But writing can be horrible, but the actors can still make the character somewhat likeable. In my opinion, Melissa is not doing that. She is making me hate Jennifer even more...

I'll say it again. I think Melissa Reeves has lost whatever spark she used to have leaving Jennifer as just another drab character. Sure the writing is not good, but that applies to everyone, but she frankly is not capable of adding anymore or to bring any warmth or sympathy to her character anymore and to me, that's the actress not the writing.Plus they continue to try and write Jennifer as she is some immature 20 year old ingenue. Soaps can't writing for ingenues anymore anyway, much less one who is almost 50. I'm all for more Hortons, but bring back Nathan, bring on Sarah Horton. Jennifer is not needed.

My take on Jen and Frankie was that they were a cute teen couple, but boring as adults. However, Jennifer does have a history with Frankie that included real feelings and not shallow made up bullshit and Frankie actually IS a good decent guy, unlike the sleazy, slimy, dirty and pimped Daniel. I would take Frankie in a heartbeat over Dr. Dirty. Though I would hope for his sake that Billy Warlock is smart enough to avoid Days now. |

MR, quit while you're ahead, there's no freaking way you'll ever convince this Jack fan to accept that Daniel is the love of Jennifer's life. |

Well, Missy ... if the story played out like you said/think it should, It would make more sense. We're getting no motivations for anyone. It looks ridiculous. This whole storyline is a joke. I almost feel sorry she has to promote it. It's ridiculous. I would buy Jen's desperation if it were played that way. But it's not. Daniel is treated as her true love. It's sickening. |

Because Missy obviously doesn't give a fuck about the Jack/Jen fanbase, the very people who've supported her all these years, then I see no reason to speak up for her or her character in future. I refuse to have this actress insulting my intelligence by pimping this Dannifer crap at me. And her disrespect towards Matt Ashford is shockingly blatant. If there's another serial killer SL, can Jennifer please be the first victim? |

This is why, as much as I want Jack back I never, ever want him with Jennifer again. Jack deserves better than that fickle bitch and Matt deserves to work with someone who respects him. Edited by LanaluvsBroe, Oct 31 2012, 08:19 AM.
