I agree with those who pointed out that it's odd that Eric hasn't reached out to Will in this current crisis

I remember Eric giving WilSon Wisconsin cheese hats for a sports team thing, as a wedding present.

I'm curious. Other than that, when has Eric ever interacted with Will?
When Eric first came into town, he had a conversation with Will. Will said that he knew what Eric's church said about being gay and that Eric shouldn't expect to change Will. Eric said he's not in the judgment business. It was a nice scene, with neither character coming off badly. (I always liked the fact that Will's sexuality informed his skepticism of organized religion. It's nice to have a character on the canvas that isn't religious just to even things out.)

Kate's tears should have had some verbal back-up of her experience with Curtis Reed for newer viewers and for Gabi to understand her vehemence also. Otherwise it might feel odd that Kate is all blubbery about Gabi missing time with her daughter when she had a rather impatient nature with Gabi since the river drowning cover-up. Kate connected with Gabi here for a very personal reason. Kate's reaction is coming from her own heart-wrenching experience and I think that should have been made known to the audience.





ITA. Those scenes would have been compelling. Once again, DAYS blew another opportunity. :rolleyes:

Nothing ruins an episode like Dannifer. They weren't even in the same room together, and just the continuous mention of his name ruined some good Nicole/Jennifer confrontation scenes. And don't even get me started on Eric/Daniel. The amount of praise in those scenes was disgusting. Although Nicole slapping Daniel was LOVELY. End this friendship NOW!

The teen crap is terrible. I can't even pretend to be interested in them.

The Kate/Gabi scenes were awesome. Lauren Koslow slays me. I liked that Kate subtly referred to her history with Curtis. NICE story beat that I definitely wasn't expecting!

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Jennifer tried to walk away. Nicole wouldn't let her. She grabbed her, and Jennifer was trying to free herself when Nicole fell.

I wanted to dislike the things Jennifer said, but she was 100% right.
Whether she was right or wrong is irrelevant. You don't pick a fight with a pregnant woman who's pregnancy is high-risk. Jennifer should have kept her big mouth shut.
1. I'm talking about the things she said today.
2. She didn't pick that fight with Nicole. She was minding her own business when Nicole accosted her and grabbed her.
She sure wasn't minding her own business when she was eavesdropping on Daniel and Nicole's conversation while deciding to go tattle to Eric about what she heard. Nicole is in the wrong but that doesn't make Jennifer anymore likable.

I tend to be skeptical of actors having any real pull on their storyline (and for the most part that's how it should be), but I am beginning to give credence to the rumors that AZ and SC wanted to be paired up with each other. The show invested so much in Ericole and nearly choked itself to death pushing Dannifer on fans. Now, it seems there's been a full turnaround in the writing.
Google an old interview conducted of shawn and ari. They were asked about how they would feel about revisiting danicole. It was done a year ago. (Google shawn christian arianne zucker)

Part of the reason why Jennifer did tell Eric was because she is jealous of Daniel and Nicole's friendship, but she didn't have the balls to own up to that. I can't believe that I'm looking forward to a Dannifer scene, but I am.......when Daniel breaks things off with Jen Jen.

Nicole and Jennifer being friends is the most ridiculous thing since Austin and Greta went to the Garden Of Eden. Or when Mike and Carrie went on a magic carpet ride!!!
http://youtu.be/GIdfmYKi3k8
This love scene made me SICK to my stomach....I wanted to murder both of them at the time.

I absolutely hated Mike & Carrie.

Well, today....

I'm glad they remembered Gabi and Kate had gotten close.

I'm glad Gabi told Abigail the truth, but I do hope Abigail remembers that she herself has made some serious mistakes with regarding to stalking before.

I was glad that Bev's plan didn't work because too often on this show evil plans work when the so-called smart hero acts dumb. Paige may be dull, but at least it's mildly plausible she's going to Stanford.

The Fetch stuff is god-awful. It's all about them. Ericole are secondary.
I'm not surprised that Ericole has been secondary and they didn't end up together. In January 2013, Corday was giving Feb sweeps spoilers in an interview and said that they were a long way from where fans thought they were going with Eric and Nicole.

I found her quite a bit more likable because of the things she said to Nicole today. Also, it was wrong of Daniel and Nicole to keep Eric in the dark for so long and I'm glad someone finally told him the truth. It clearly wasn't ever going to be Nicole, and Daniel was way too trusting of Nicole to ever make sure she told the truth.

I hope Nicole puts a slap on Sami that lil Sydney's children will feel.
I started despising Sami when she mocked Nicole's dead babies to her face. The bitch can't leave soon enough for me.

Kate says that Sonny and Will are going to do everything it takes. Arianna's going to have a good life. Kate weeps and says that every time she sees that little girl I'm going to tell her how much her mother loved her and when she's old enough I'll tell her that her mother sacrificed everything for her safety.

Sonny is still irritated that Will thought Sonny will let him go to prison but doesn't want to talk about it. They again promise that Ari will visit her mom often. They promise each other they will make this work and Ari says "dada" and they both respond and smile at each other.

JJ continues to rough up Cole but Cole hurts him.

Eric shows up at Jennifer's and they hug.

Nicole shows up at Daniel's and she smacks him. He grabs her.
I can't wait to see the "dada" scene!

SMH at Daniel and Nicole.

Found the clip. I put it behind the spoiler tag.

Spoiler: click to toggle


(Warning! the first part of the clip is all about the plan to have Nick be Ari's dad. Ewww.)

I recommend skipping straight to 5:30 on this clip.


Great Eric-Will scene.
Eric and Will meet after years apart -- Will is now an adult gay man and Eric is a priest. A bit of awkwardness.

Then they shift to what might seem to be a discussion about football ... how Eric is a Wisconsin cheese-head (supporting the Green Bay Packers) but Will supports the Chicago Bears.

-- but then Eric seamlessly goes back to the main topic with a metaphor:
"I bet on you, whatever team you choose. I just want you to be happy, fulfilled in life."

They are, but I blame the headwriters. They are the ones directing what the script writers write.

I'm gonna need for Eric to stop apologizing to Daniel.
If I was Eric, I'd be ticked off Daniel waited so long hoping Nicole would confess.

Immaneed Nicole to punch Jennifer in the face....
That's what Im screaming!!!! There should be alot of animosity brought up in Nicole's mind right now. While it can be argued (and I'm not trying to beat that horse again), but I still believe Nicole was delirious when Jennifer argued Nicole to near death resulting in her fall when she was pregnant with the sadly dead baby. Jennifer had NO right arguing with Nicole in such a hostile manner whether Nicole was hostile or not. She should've walked away. Nicole and Jennifer being friends is the most ridiculous thing since Austin and Greta went to the Garden Of Eden. Or when Mike and Carrie went on a magic carpet ride!!! Sorry, but this fan is team Nicole....would Nicole had told Eric the truth? Prolly not with these writers BUT how was it Jennifer's business? She's a haggard gossipy orange dick sprung shrew who makes everything in town about her and Daniel. I want Nicole to slap the shit out of her just one time. And to think she's crying over how Daniel is affected by what Nicole hid from Eric? If I were SC, I'd be embarrassed. They are writing Daniel as if he's a 9 year old! Pathetic.
Jennifer tried to walk away. Nicole wouldn't let her. She grabbed her, and Jennifer was trying to free herself when Nicole fell.

I wanted to dislike the things Jennifer said, but she was 100% right.
Yes, Jennifer was right about Nicole. She was so absolutely, unlikably right.
But her actions, attitudes and motivations about Nicole are all wrong, because they are always all about keeping her iron grip on Daniel, not about doing the right thing for Eric or anybody else.
So Nicole, who was all wrong in what she did to Eric is still absolutely, likably right in her assessment of Jennifer.

It can be very soapy to have the woman (and this usually happens between soap women) doing the 'right thing' be an insufferable, self righteous bitch and the woman making all the wrong moves be a relatable, rootable vixen.

But that works when the audience and the writers are on the same page about the self righteous character. Here the character of Jennifer has been written as repeatedly going to sanctimonious, bitchy extremes since her pairing with Daniel, all of which has been reinforced by Melissa Reeves' bitter acting choices. And yet Jennifer is still served up as the Horton Heroine she used to be...back when she was likable with Jack. And Nicole is...once again...just another whipping girl for Jennifer's righteous entitlement.

And so on and so on...and over and over...and yet Fetch never happens. The only way to make good soap again with these characters is to change the Fetch End Game...and give Jennifer's character a radical reboot.

My preference: Give this DanJen a mental breakdown like her mother had. Send her off to the mental institution for a character rest. Then bring her back some time as she was when she was JackJen. #JenMental
