As much as I've grown to enjoy Gabi/Camila Banus, it is a little absurd to me that Gabi's exit was drawn out over three weeks and that she's getting a final scene with everyone she's ever interacted with. Especially because John, Marlena, Jack, Steve, Kayla, Stephanie, Philip, and Vivian all got HORRIBLE exits, and that's just in the last five years.

I wanna know how any SANE person cannot see that the character of Jennifer has changed radically and for the worse since the pairing of her and Dr. Do me a patient?!

Also, I really hate the way that these writers are transitioning into Round Two of Stefano/Kate. We've barely seen these two interacting at all lately but now Kate starts wearing his jewelry and suddenly they're back together and getting married? Mmkay.

Meanwhile, Ari Zucker is doing some really great work today.

I don't think I buy the whole "Dannifer tests really well in focus groups" thing. If that were true they wouldn't have to constantly TELL the audience how "great" they are via other characters. IMO that shows they know Dannifer isn't working.
That's actually probably exactly why they test well which I agree is stupid.

Oh Sami shut up. You are not worried about Eric, you are just glad his wedding to Nicole is off.
Sami's day is coming......and she won't have anything to smirk about.
For someone so supposedly worried about her brother, her grinning was a bit much announcing the break-up to EJ.

This whole Stefano and Kate thing is weird. We haven't seen Stefano in like forever.

I do appreciate that the character of Gabi is being written off in a way that acknowledges her canvas connections and will lead to story for the characters left behind, and CB is rocking her scenes. I really wanted a T/Gabi pairing, so I liked today's scenes.

But you are 100% correct in that such storylines should be devised for all the major players that decide to leave, and it's a damn shame that hasn't happened for important characters.

As much as I would hate to see the profuse weeping, vigils and possible suicides that would result in Daniel leaving the canvas. I have an idea that the writers can take for free.


Poochie Daniel reveals he's an alien/god. He must return to his home planet, and he rises up to the heavens and disappears. We then get word he was killed on his way to his home planet.

I can't WAIT to see what kind of contrived mess the writers use to explain why Paige and Theresa haven't interacted at ALL since Paige arrived in Salem.

Now today is the first time I got the feeling that Sami and Kate are working together to pay Stefano back for what he did to Rafe. I think she just putting on with EJ her anger at Kate......the two of them suddenly can't live in the mansion together sounds so false.

Maybe nobody told Eve's family that Jeannie changed her name?

"Jennifer weeps I love you". Good lord! If someone who wasn't paying attention to this show just randomly tuned into these scenes, they'd think some huge drama was going on. But there isn't. Daniel is shocked, aghast, deeply wounded and painfully hurt that he didn't get to be Mr Gossip Shit Stirrer and Jenn beat him to the punch. Waaaaaaaaaaaaaa. Who gives a shit! It's all out in The open now but Dannifer have to make it all about them and WEEP over it? Even that kiddy Degrassi tv show didn't have this much inane preteen fake ass drama! This has surpassed even the normal Dannifer ridiculousness!

You ever been around someone that just by looking at them you wanted to slap the taste out of their mouth. First time I saw lil Ali Sweeney as Samantha Jean Brady my hands been itching to do so maybe Nicole will get her for me in the upcoming catfight if its as epic as the spoilers say. Which I seriously doubt the spoilers seem to be as redundant and regurgitated as the storylines.

Test audiences probably see about a minute or two of them interacting.

I'm so damn tired of Daniel and Jennifer along with 99.9% of people on this messageboard.
You know, I'm pretty sure there's a way for you to ignore the posts of people you don't want to see from. Which, apparently in your case, is almost everyone ;)

My impression is that, in this particular post, OP's intention was to state that OP agrees with the 99.9% of the DR members who feel that dannifer is damn tiresome.

I think MR, SC, and the writers have been watching this for inspiration on scripts and acting choices:

I wouldn't have as big a problem with Dannifer if they weren't constantly shoved down our throats. Plus every character has to go on and on about how perfect Daniel is. And of course Daniel the superhero. Enough! Quit putting them front and center. So much screen time is wasted on Dannifer that could and should be used on other characters (Haiden, Jarlena, Kayla, Abe just as examples.)

I can't believe Dannifer had this angsty argument today over Jennifer telling Eric the truth. And of course her reason is Daniel is so good and wonderful and too easily manipulated by Nicole to do the right thing.

JJ/Paige are a snooze for me. Maybe when Eve arrives it will put some spark into this story.
