Two weeks and done, not like 15 weeks of nonsense with a fairly obvious conclusion. My great fear is that they are stringing it out, especially compared to the other insta-romances, because they are trying to make this into a "supercouple" type romance. They are going to drag out the angst for ages so that we know they are "meant" to be together. :drunk: I think we're going to get Jen stall and say it's because of Jack. And we'll have Abby etc saying it's what he would have wanted but I can't see people (outside of Salemites) buying it. After spending 4 months chasing Dan to suddenly say she is mourning Jack just wont wash. I fully expect them to deliver some kind of letter from Jack to Jen blessing the Dan/Jen union when it all goes down. That's when they'll have Jen really talk about her feelings for a moment, and it'll all be OK'd so we can all move on, together. I just wish they'd get through it. This so wouldn't surprise me. :shame:

Two weeks and done, not like 15 weeks of nonsense with a fairly obvious conclusion. Actually I like your approach. I would have preferred it over this long drawn out version. Bringing Dannifer up to supercouple status takes a lot of time and effort. I think we are in for the long haul. The push and pull being showed & shoved down our throats is inevitable. The fact that they aren't sexing it up is suppose to be meaningful. TPTB want Dan to prevail, so until they change their mind on this, I think Dannifer is her to stay.... Daniel and Jennifer will never NEVER be a supercouple. They cannot hold a candle to Days' real supercouples, one of which is J & J. They have no substance, no chemistry and no story without a 3rd party. I don't care about the writers. That SOD poll should be a wake up call to them about their precious Dannifer. Jack & Jen were the real thing. Jack had a legitamite reason to push Jennifer away. Daniel pushes her away because his shaky hands didn't get cured? His shaky hands didn't stop him from boinking other women. And then the minute Jack dies he's suddenly in love with Jen again? Please. Jack pushed Jen away but he never stopped loving her. Daniel's gone from loving Jen, to loving Nicole to loving Jennifer again in less than a year. That's not a supercouple. That's not even love. The only person Daniel truly loves is himself.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

Dannifer's dynamic is boring. How about if Dr. D gets drunk & drugged one night, by someone from the Evil dimera clan, not knowing that Dan is crazed by the narrcotics and he rapes Nicole. Nobody believes Nicole because she's the town slut. Good old Dr. Daniel is forced come to terms with his actions & with the love and support of Jennifer by his side, he is able to get through it. Dan has to spend time in the slammer for his bad behaviour and he and Jennifer are forced to spend time a part.

Daniel's gone from loving Jen, to loving Nicole to loving Jennifer again in less than a year. That's not a supercouple. That's not even love. The only person Daniel truly loves is himself. The harder TIIC push, the more the audience pushes back. The more they shove Dannifer down viewers' throats, the more viewers gag and try to retch this couple back up like the rancid crap they are. And it's ironic because if T&W had backed off on trying to sell Daniel as the premier leading man on the show, the successor to Tom Horton's medical legacy, Jack's romantic replacement, and the BESTEST GUY EVAH, they might not have had such a violent, visceral anti-Dannifer reaction--not this soon, anyway. As it is, they're beating the audience over the head with all these plot contrivances designed to show how Dannifer are MEANT TO BE. And instead of falling in line like good little sheep, a hefty portion of the audience is instead screaming "DO NOT WANT!" Even viewers who were pro-Dannifer the first time around are now saying, "No thanks." The SOD poll should be a wake-up call that this pairing isn't working, no matter what T&W do. A smarter, less lazy, less egotistical writing team would cut their losses, send both characters in different directions, and not even try to re-pair them a third time. I'm not optimistic that T&W will see the light on their own, so I'm going to hope that someone above them realizes what a clusterfuck Dannifer 2.0 is and makes them pull the plug. Something is very wrong when viewers are actually rooting for the Sweetheart of Salem to succumb to appendicitis. Or ridiculing her rather than sympathizing with her plight.

He was expecting her to admit to her feelings when he visited her in her office, and he told Maggie later he was disappointed that Jennifer only wanted to tell him about the clinical trial. I think he's been distant with her since the story started, way back when Nicole was still pregnant and Jennifer took a sudden interest in trying to save him from her. That's true. At first, he wouldn't go near her because she was dealing with the funeral, etc. (And of course he was still extracting himself from his fling with Nicole by trying to dump her repeatedly. He had his shaky hands full with that.) But, to me, it's all about Daniel's ego -- he hates to lose, he doesn't want to compete with the memory of a beloved dead husband, so he decides to withdraw. It's not about love, it's not about self-sacrifice, it's about ego. I dunno. I feel like the writers went at this whole storyline top down. It's like they said, okay, we'll kill off Jack in August. Then we'll have Dannifer together by New Year's (or February sweeps or whatever). In the meantime, we'll have to think up some angsty things that will keep them apart. So all of these things that Daniel and Jennifer are doing represent them just going through the obligatory motions of staying apart until such time as the writers deem enough time has passed. That's why it all seems superficial and nonsensical. It's not a real organic story, but rather manufactured angst that slots the characters into some kind of formulaic equation the writers think correspond to what a soapy romantic pairing should look like. They're checking off boxes rather than actually writing a good story. And it's just not working. Edited by annie21, Nov 29 2012, 07:39 PM.

I wish it were broken down between those who think it's too soon and those who think they sucked in round 1. I'm curious whether more people fall on one side or another.

Maybe Tomlin, Corday and Whitesell make up the 4 percent?

She wakes up and tells everyone that thanks to Daniel, she can live forever, due to her new heart being made of Cheerios, Special K, Wanchai Ferry, Midol, and Frosted Flakes.

It probably came down to something like this: "Our writers are unable to right for such a rich and layered character like Jack, we just don't do that anymore here at DAYS" From the other actors POV. "We can't compete with him, his character or the history of JnJ." GH's soap motto:"When you got it, flaunt it!" DAYS' soap motto: "When you got it, toss it!"
