I doubt MA will ever come back to DAYS, I think he's done with the whole Jack "dies and comes back to life" merry-go-round that he's been on since 2003. Yes, I fully expect Tomlin will try and pimp Dannifer as the new Tom/Alice - not buying that load of BS. |

Agreed. Jennifer and Frankie have a history and chemistry. So it made sense for Jennifer to turn to Frankie after Jack's "death". It DOES NOT make sense for Jennifer to turn to Daniel after suddenly losing contact with her husband outside of a blog that didn't even sound like Jack wrote it. I would expect an investigative journalist to at least try to figure out where her husband is and why he's there. What I don't expect is for her to just accept what's on the surface and jump into bed with the first man that shows interest. Then when her husband finally makes it back home she forces him to play a dating a game all while proclaiming that she still loves him. I didn't buy her proclaimation of love for Jack then and I sure as hell don't buy it now. Jennifer has been written out of character since the moment of her return in November 2010. The real Jennifer would never given up on Jack or emotionally abused him when he was already emotionally fragile. And all while singing Daniel's praises. She has no history with Daniel, nothing to base this 'great love', that Dannifer supposedly has, off of. 3 dates and sex does not equal true love in my book. NBC, Shawn and Melissa can try to spin this anyway they want but it's a no-win situation for them because none of it makes sense because what they're saying and what is being shown is two very different things. And try as they might to ignore the past, it's still fresh in the memory of the people they're try to sell this crap to. Tomlin - you may not have written all of it but it sure as hell still happened asshole. :flipoff: Edited by LanaluvsBroe, Oct 31 2012, 08:41 AM.

I know let's count the ways - Jennifer lost her grandmother Alice what two years ago, and now she lost Jack the supposed love of her life. That's 2 I count two people, one a grandmother in her 90's excuse me and I loved Alice for many years but time has a way of poeple dying on you so, this was not a tragic loss for Jennifer. (But then it seems neither was JAck. Nicole has lost her miscarried baby, then Sydney (well that one was her own fault), then her mother by murder (not old age), and now a second miracle child so poor poor grieving Jennifer can have Daniel. Yep that's right Jennifer is the one whose lost sooooo much, can't believe that we the viewers can't see her pain :omg: :sarcasm: |

LMAO! I know it is a damn joke that they are trying to put Dannifer and Safe in the same category as legendary super couples played by actors with actual talent. Not to mention insulting and ridiculous to anyone who watched REAL supercouples and love stories back when they used to have them. |

No matter how they spin it, it's far too soon for Jennifer to be romantically involved with anyone. I don't blame Melissa Reeves - she's an actor playing a part and part of her job is to try and sell her story. Unfortunately I just don't see anyone buying it this time. |

I will call it as I see it.... MR will be phoning in her performances from now until her contract expires. I kinda hope she'd get fired! Not that I would wish that on anyone, but it would just make me feel a tad better about everything and TPTB can prove that SC's Daniel is the Soul Saviour of Salem.... leaving no stone unturned and proving that everyone needs to sacrificed at some point, in his honor. How can Sony even care to write this shit? Edited by Dreamer, Oct 31 2012, 09:24 AM.

What I find ironic is that they are still shoving this crap down our throats about two individuals at this point that truly deserve one another. Jennifer has shown herself to be a self absorbed high horsed bitch, who only thinks about herself not her husband or her kids, but only about the man she says to herself Daniel is because she's in heat. (WOW starting to sound like Sami - oops off topic) :blink: Then we have Daniel who is the town saviour hero doctor, well let's see tha last time he proclaimed his love for a woman was when he stole her from his now wuv's brother, and then when he found out the child wasn't his threw them out of his apartment and his life so fast one's head would spin. Then he saw the depression she was falling into perscribed her meds and started chasing Jennifer. After her suicide attempt somehow her grief was ignored by the sainted doctor and it was still all about him moving on with his new love Jennifer. YEP Day's you did it you took to self absorbed assholes put them together and are selling them as good honorable people. I actually feel sorry for Chloe coming back into this mess because last time Doctor Douche was in her life she ended up a prostitute who lost her child. I was a Danloe fan but sorry as long as he's with Jennifer and Chloe will be the interloper for them, it still won't salvage any of them and now Chloe is back in the hot seat. Run NB get out of your contract now, Chloe's been trashed enough for this couple. Edited by nolagirl, Oct 31 2012, 09:47 AM.

Why are the people in charge in such a rush to put Dannifer back together? Haven't they learned from last year when they had to "rest" Daniel after the J&J fans were livid at the way Jack was treated? Oh nevermind, we'll just kill Jack (for good, THIS time) and the idiot viewers will see what was started before he came back, that Dannifer is the perfect couple, going on picnics, always doing the right thing and judging all the so-called horrid people in Salem (like Chloe and Nicole). :flipoff: Why can't Tomsell see how distasteful this couple is? :shame: They insist on pushing them on the viewers and making everyone in their path suffer because they are just so meant-to-be and have to overcome every obstacle in the book, on their way to having this *eyeroll* beautiful life together. Forget the fact that they have no chemistry but they are also so hypocritical (not to mention extremely boring) that they make people cringe. Can this show PLEASE get a clue already?!?!? |

Jennifer is acting like a hot and bothered school girl. It's ridiculous since she looks and dresses like a 50 year old matron. I don't see this story as she "lost" Jack at all. He's out of the way and now she can be with Doctor Dirty except now there's this pesky pregnant woman in the way... And she DID push Nicole. She pulled her arm up which drove Nicole's momentum back and was just like a push as far as her fall. And yes, Nicole orchestrated that meeting but just hours before Jennifer was acting like a lunatic FORBIDDING Nicole to leave town with Daniel. If the point of all this was to make viewers hate and loathe Jennifer Horton. Bravo. They did an excellent job. The character certainly disgusts me. |

Not buying how she fell in love with Daniel so fast was she over him and just went back to Jack because she couldn't have Daniel. I don't get them I like Daniel with Chloe they were good together. But when Chloes comes back I would like to see her and EJ interact, alot of people wouldn't like that. |

Okay, I'm one of the few people left (or perhaps the only one ;) ) who still likes Jennifer, likes Daniel, and couldn't care less about Jack, and even I think Jennifer's being a bitch. She's not feisty, imo. Alice was feisty. Jennifer is being abrasive, nosy, and obsessive, and I'm completely willing to accept that this is a reaction to her loss, but no one who's responsible for this story is doing a very good job selling that explanation. I find it very out of character for her to have 1. taken in a homeless pregnant woman, only to antagonize her every opportunity she got. Nicole is no innocent victim, but Jennifer was aware of what Nicole was like from the beginning, so why bring her into her home if she didn't intend to make allowances for her house guest? Of course, it was because Nicole was a pawn in Jennifer's game to keep an eye on Daniel, which is something Nicole would do, but doesn't sound like something Jennifer would do. 2. Spent all of a week grieving for the love of her life, before launching a one woman campaign to save a friend she'd barely talked to in months from a woman he chose to get involved with. 3. While it's not Jennifer's fault, MR seems to have forgotten how to play a sympathetic character, although maybe she could if the writing was there, but not everyone's capable of adding subtext to their performance.

Two Points: 1. Jennifer believes Jack is dead, only because it was more real this time b/c she was there. Ha!! He died in Salem U hospital years back and had his organs donated... only to survive. I don't think MA is gone for good, just that we are to believe jennifer thinks he's dead and she is going to move on. 2. Jennifer's love for Daniel--- I will say that she is not falling fast for Daniel, I honestly think that she never stopped loving him, even after Jack came back and they reunited. I hate to admit it, but that is the way I saw it play out and I wouldn't be surprised if Jennifer uses these words to explain herself. We never realyl saw JnJ's love, it was off screen and they were barely on screen, with a few kisses and hand holding. I am still wondering if were are to believe that JNJ were married when Jack died or were they just engaged, no talk of why his wedding ring was found in his personal affects.

MA deserves so much better. In any case DAYS is a sinking ship that has been running on borrowed time for too long now. I see it getting cancelled within a year. Edited by Helpless Romantic, Oct 31 2012, 11:50 AM.

I've been married to my husband for nearly as long as Jennifer had been married to Jack. And it is totally, completely and utterly inconceivable to me that Jennifer jumped on the Daniel bandwagon so soon after her husband's death. I think of how totally devastated I would be - how ruined I would be - how hard it would be for me to just get out of bed every morning - and find that there is absolutely nothing that I can relate to in the nonsense MR's spewing that makes it believable/understandable that Jennifer would act this way. She should have been kept out of a relationship for AT LEAST a year (she could have worked at the Spectator or gotten another job or stuck her nose in Abby/JJ's business). And had the show chosen to do this, Nicole's baby would still be alive, and Philip would still be Parker's dad. |

If it is going to be cancelled within a year all the more reason to stop the crap stories that noone wants and start preparing for the finale. Start telling the stories that viewers actually want so that we get closure because God help us if, after nearly 50 years, the final episode of Days is a Dannifer/Safe double wedding. I will personally hunt down Corday, Meng and Tomlin and kill them. :flipoff: |

Were Jack and Jennifer actually married when he died? There are problems with this story, but with Jennifer and Dan's relationship last year, and her seeming like she was going through the motions with Jack to some extent, it's sort of believable that she would turn back to Dan to me. I think Jennifer's anger may be coming from pressure to feel things that she doesn't. Girlfriend is definitely a mess, though. Why Marlena is seeing a psychiatrist and she is not... |

They weren't married that we know of but everyone keeps calling Jack her husband so who knows. And even if Jennifer is angry over feeling what she can't..she's not even showing sadness that Jack is dead - even if we are to believe she loves/loved Daniel. I don't buy that Jennifer has zero feelings or emotions over the death of the love of her life/father of her children. She hasn't cried or had time to even miss him before jumping all over Daniel about Nicole and vice versa. There is just no way you can tell me she feels NOTHING about Jack's death which is how it comes across to me. The loss of someone you've loved more than half your life brings up some sadness and loss. Plus if we'd ever seen Daniel & Jennifer "fall in love" the first time instead of spending time on cheesy dates and lame poetry then maybe it might be more believable. There's nothing beyond the surface that shows me why they supposedly love each other. I don't care what they're trying to sell it just makes her look bad. Her treatment of Jack last year was bad enough but to not even mourn past a week doesn't make it OK because she might've only been going through the motions with Jack. I also think that Missy didn't seem to be trying to sell anything with Jack/Matt anytime during his return has lead to these speculations. The writing told us they were happy and in love. Dialogue from Abby said that too - or was Jennifer faking happiness with Jack instead of being honest and letting Jack go. |

I think they implied that they remarried off screen but who knows? All I know is Jemmifer was written as unfeeling and uncaring towards Jack. A far cry from the girl who was so in love with Jack and only Jack. Daniel makes me miss Francois ( Frankie). I really hope he leaves with Chloe even though I love BROE :wub: Or better yet goes to visit Melanie and Carly but NEVER reurns! :cheer: Edited by Helpless Romantic, Oct 31 2012, 02:41 PM.
