Kate and Lucas are the only things saving this story for me. AND STILL it's the dud of the show. At least, I hate Dannifer, Jafe doesn't inspire any feeling from other than boredom.
Your right about Kate and Lucas being the only thing holding anyone to the story! And its certainly the "filler" of the show!

Rafe was bearable with Kate and I half the the time enjoyed them but I concur Rafe and Jordan are the drag assin couple "Days has to offer. I hope they change it up soon with them...

Any guesses on why Jordan has all those IDs?

If they want viewers invested they need to give more here. I like a slow build romantic story and I think this couple are adorable in the scenes they've written for them to showcase that. The problem is there is NO movement in the mystery! It's frustrating when we get repetitive conversations and no crumbs to entice our inner Hardy Boy/Nancy Drew. It's time for them to pony up and quit dangling a bunch of nothing.

As far as the pair go they definitely do have chemistry and God knows are gorgeous paired together. Now that Jordan has opened up with Rafe and is dating him for goodness sake give her some sexy feminine clothes, lose the glasses and style the hair in a becoming fashion! The writers and producers should be building momentum not dragging their feet. Put the story on more than one day a week and do something with it!

I care nothing about this pairing. But everytime I see the title of this thread all I read it as "Rafe probes Jordan's". :drunk:

I like Rafe/Jordan, but they need to pick up pace storyline wise.

Rafe and Jordan are the most agonizing part of the show. I said it once and I'll say it again. Pull her to the side, give her severance pay and show her to door.
Give Rafe someone with a little more than a grunt when talking and those damn weird glasses, LOL

In my rant about picking up the pace of this mystery, I forgot to mention a point I feel the story has going for it besides the chemistry of the actors. I really like that Rafe's actions are on track with his character. He is intuitive that Jordan is hiding a traumatic past and his nature of taking it slow earning more of her trust so she'll open up to him is very believable. He's the heroic type that wants to jump in and help a woman in distress and so this fits him well. He should be the 'white knight'. It's who he is. Not saying that Jordan is a damsel in distress because she's obviously taken great measures of self preservation and hasn't been shown as a whimpering weakling. (For which makes me like her character all the more) I think it's a great story for him character wise. I'm tired of going WTH when it comes to characters and I feel like this one is going to be true. I look forward to many twists, turns and hopefully soon a LOT more action.

I believe they are going painfully slow with Rafe & Jordan because they do have long term plans for them...they will be a rooting pair, expecially now that Sami will be out of the picture permanently. Now is the time to start forming new stories and paths they will be following.
We see it with Lucas & Sheryl and with Eric & Nicole. It takes months to truly build up a lasting relationship as was written for Rafe & Sami, beginning with all those months at the safehouse. There must be a solid foundation, not your wham bam thank you mam relationships as written for Brady that all end badly. I'll be glad to patiently endure the slow exposure of Jordan's mysterious past and her surprising humor that often comes through her guardedness....I really believe we'll have a plesasant reward awaiting us soon enough!

They haven't given been enough details to allow real speculation either way, which is the problem with this story...

Exactly. I just want a hint when they keep having these repetitive competitions. They need to give us something to go off of so we can ever speculate. The only thing we can guess right now is old soap cliches but we don't have anything to go on. The only hints I think we have ever gotten is that she changes her identity frequently, likely has a sibling(s), and POSSIBLY a baby.

I think they're treading water with this story because they couldn't decide where to go with this. I hope whatever rewrites happen kick in soon so we can get this story moving in some direction. I do enjoy all of the Rafe/Jordan/Lucas/Sheryl/Kate stuff, but need more meat in the scenes.

Dont get me wrong, I like Rafe but Jordan just has to go! This couple is FORCED and really have you seen the scenes with these two? No chemistry what so ever. I agree with a couple there has to be build up, and with this couple there has been ALOT of build up!And they still down have the slightest idea what they are doing with this couple. They need to bring in a woman that suits Rafe better. Preferable one that can act.

The pleasant reward we should be getting is Jordan leaving the show. Bring in some other woman that will make Rafe the "Hero" they claimed he was suppose to be not some push over cop. I want the no non-sense FBI Agent he was brought in to be. Jordan is bring his character down worse than Sami on one of her worst days.
JMO JAFE is NO ROOTING COUPLE. :sleep2:

It's funny that I'm more interested in the very new Sheryl/Jordan relationship than Rafe and Jordan.

The character of Jordan is so boring she might as well be one of club TBD's patterns. I just tune her out. She makes Rafe so boring and more uninteresting than usual. The actress is also so bland.

I'm trying my damnedest to get into Jordan, but so far, nada. She's a nice and pretty woman who looks good with Rafe, but I feel nothing for her. It's like she's a stiff, emotionless doll trying to sell a mysterious air...

But hey, that's JMO... :shrug:

I like the pairing of Jordan and Rafe... the chemistry is there with these two.. they just need to move them along. We have played around long enough with just hints and tidbits here and there; now we need to find out something meatier about her past. I do like that they are taking it slow with them.. heaven knows, we have had enough couples jump into bed after just a few weeks. I am looking forward to them being a romantic, root for couple.

Chrishell is a gorgeous woman and she and Galen make a hot looking couple, but she does need to lose the glasses and the plain jane look.. it's way past time for that.

I agree. I see the chemistry with the actors, and I'm all about a slow burn, but this is not a slow burn. It's treading water.

I could really get into Jordan and Rafe if they would pick up the pace of the mystery. I think they make a cute couple and there is a ton of chemistry between them but their story is moving to slow.

Maybe it is just me but I could totally see Rafe/Jordan/Lucas/Sheryl as swingers.
