Based on how they've written Jafe so far (a sweet, more traditional soap romance), I'm thinking Jordan's secret is going to paint her in a pretty sympathetic light. I'm thinking she's on the run from some bad people for something that was not her fault or for doing something noble.
This is what I'm thinking


and it looks like some EJ/Abby is a coming.


They look great in those caps. Anywhere I can't watch on line? I have to wait til tonight otherwise. Ugh.

The thing I liked most about the old days of soaps was that there were SO many DIFFERENT couples who were set, clear couples. You could watch and if one couple wasn't your cup of tea, you had a least a handful or more of other couples you could actually enjoy. And then they mixed all the characters up because you didn't necessarily know who was going to be in scenes with whom. And even if your couple wasn't in a scene with anyone, you couldn't necessarily be sure that those other characters weren't talking about your character/couple, so you had to watch the whole show.

Bo/Hope might not have been your couple, but you still had Patch/Kayla, Shane/Kim, Justin/Adrienne, Frankie/Jennifer, Mike/Robin, or whoever else was the couple of the moment to invest in and root for. Now we've got... um... EJ/Sami and... um... Eric/Nicole and... Will/Sonny and... Rafe/Jordan? Victor/Maggie? Is that IT?!? smdh

Actually, EJ is doing some sizing up there. I can't tell if Abby i sperturbed, but it looks that way.


And Matt, I agree. I think the problem with soaps is they are like that anymore. We need better, more diverse couples. And we need those mysteries and crazies running wrong. A whole lot is missing. Still, I enjoy what I can. Days is lacking, but it's better than GH, YnR, and BB for me because it still has a smidge of old soap feel. Just a smidge.

Exactly.

And I feel like they are actually trying to differentiate couples now. For years now, all couples have been so similar in terms of their dynamic, why they loved each other and how they interacted as a couple. You could swap in and swap out different names and re-used many of the couple scenes for any of them. There was just nothing unique about the way that they loved each other. But I feel like they're really making an effort now to create not only more couples, but different kinds of couples.

With Ericole, you've got the forbidden aspect, as well as the deep love coming from a place of real friendship. They are just full of angst and aching and quiet longing.

With Ejami, you've got a lot of passion and fire, but equal measures of mistrust and dysfunction. They are all fireworks and drama, for good or for bad.

With Jafe, you've got a more traditional pairing. An apparently sweet, but strong woman with a secret past, and a hero-type guy who wants to protect her.

The only couple that they seem to be really invested in at the moment that they haven't really defined that well is Wilson. It sometimes feel like they're content to just cast them as the gay couple without bothering to define their dynamic more. Maybe with CM out and GW in, they will work for give them their own unique vibe.

you forgot Fetch. lmao.

that said, Fetch isn't together at the moment, and neither are Rafe/Jordan or Eric/Nicole. So the only real couples are EJami, WilSon, & Magic. and right now, 2 of the 3 are having relationship issues.

I kn ow this is going to sound mean, but is Jordan supposed to become pretty when she takes those glasses off. Usually, no matter who they cast, they are physically attractive or interesting in some way (Nick, for example) but this girl is just plain...........plain.

Brendan "T" Coughlin needs a contract, backstory, storyline & potential love interest a.s.a.p. :applause:

The more I see Jordan, the more I'm intrigued. CS was great on AMC and she's only getting warmed up. They just need to get her away from the Dementor known as "Rafe" and they'll be all set! :pray:

...in the eye of the beholder, I guess. She looks pretty to me, even with the glasses and drab medical garb. I saw the beginnings of some glamor today with that royal blue sweater. Looked good, IMO.

Yes - CS needs to be moved FAR FAR FAR away from GG.

When is Rafe going to take a hike?

Why is DAYS so intent on keeping crap male characters like Rafe & Daniel around? They could have moved more crap/semi-mediocre male characters in by now.
