Maybe I'm just more patient than most of you, but the pace of this story really doesn't bother me. :shrug: This casting call went out in January, so it should come as no surprise to anyone, given Days' taping schedule, that the character won't debut until late June. I recently predicted June or July in another thread, in fact.

And Days isn't the only soap that's doing this -- Y&R currently has several storylines involving relatively new characters who have mysterious pasts that haven't been revealed yet, and at least two of those characters have been in Genoa City longer than Jordan has been in Salem.

I just hope that when the writers decided to take Jordan's story in a different direction, they did so in a way that wouldn't contradict the few hints they had already given us about her background at that point -- hints that I also recently talked about in another thread.
Y&R (which is moving too slowly according to the results of the informal poll Jamey Giddens did yesterday) has also done a better job integrating their characters into the canvas. We know important things about them that aren't related to who they're dating. We see them hanging out with friends and working. Jordan's only ties are Rafe and her mystery. She has her job and she's friends with Lucas and Abby, but those things haven't gotten much focus. We don't know who she is besides that she's Rafe's girlfriend who's hiding something. If you aren't into jafe, there's nothing else there.

This story can't move forward until Daniel is freed up from distroying Nicole and solving Nick's murder. The man only has so much time in a day.

I really don't care anymore about Jordan's secret. How long has she been on screen and had this secret now?? a year or more?

Can you imagine what could be done with a lot of stories if they transferred just a bit of Daniel's screen time elsewhere?!

Oh Joy! Another person associated with Jordan Ridgeway. I can't wait for them speak in circles and give out former lovers vibes.

Weird that we didn't even find out about Sheryl and Jordan's secret. I am begining to think the writer don't know Jordan's secret yet.

I'm still confused about why they brought Sheryl on. I enjoyed her and her chemistry with Lucas, but I don't see what her purpose was to Jordan's story.

A country "boy"? Lol, I don't think there's anything "boy" about him.

However, I really don't care much about this storyline but I bet this is their father.

Probably he's their dad coming to find them and finish them off. Yea, if only.
honestly he probably is, lol. Maybe they're redoing the Curtis Brown storyline?

Edit: i just realized i should probably say again b/c Nicole/Brandon were basically a ripoff as well.
I just find the whole Ben & Jordan thing to be so predictable and one note.

LOL! Because we have to find something for Lisa de Cassotte's favorite Passion's actor to do on the show he has nothing to do on. :rolleyes:

Chrishell said in an interview that they change her s/l from what it originally was. That's probably why it took so long. I love her & Rafe together some of you might like the throwing dishes, fussing, and screaming type of couples but me not so much.. :smile:

Swell. :rolleyes: Instead of utilizing KA and DC more and giving the Haiden build up more airtime, they bring in this shmuck? :yawnz: I think it's safe to say he'll be playing their crazy redneck daddy or uncle. I sure hope he's a good actor. LOL :sleep:

The only way I can understand why they are writing for Jordan as they are is that Jordan (and Ben) is (are) related to Eve. Maybe they really tried to get Charlotte Ross back to reprise the role but failed (last November might have been not their first talk). This would explain why we are stuck with this incredibly boring story (or no story).
Well, I think will see if that's the case in June when KDP's Eve arrives.

You may be on to something! Jordan and Ben having any kind of connection to Eve Donovan would certainly make them at least a little bit interesting. LOL

With so many veteran characters without a storyline (Julie, Marlena, John, Maggie, Victor, etc.), why are they wasting time on boring, new characters??

This set of characters features the worst acting I've seen in years.

I'm still waiting for a good answer to that. LOL
