I'd be all for Jeremy being an anti-Horton, a sleaze, whatever. Growing up in war-ridden Israel can't be easy, you could easily get a chip on your shoulder, learning to get by whatever way you can. My problem is this guy doesn't LOOK right. It's hard enough to buy Jeremy as growing up in Israel when he's white, but blonde too? Come on now. Not saying Israelites can't be white, but the region is known for it's warmth, and this dude is pale as can be. It's really glaring and lazy, and the blonde hair doesn't help, either. Of course, they probably won't even remember that he's Jewish. He definitely looks like airforce material. No doubt! The casting for this role should have been a lot of a lot more particular, IMO. Maybe I've just had a certain image for Jeremy in my head for too long. Who knows, whatever. But this guy has a lot fo winning over to do.

This article says Jeremy has been in jail:

Trevor Donovan will begin playing the role of Jeremy Horton (Days of Our Lives) on Friday. Jeremy is Stephanie's "bad boy" beau who has been in jail. Also new to Days and appearing on Friday is Marcus Patrick, who portrays Jett Carver, the son of Abe's (James Reynolds) deceased brother Theo.

I'm disapointed because of all the potential wasted here.

We had the potential for a real deep, unique to daytime character in Jeremy Horton - and we're getting a blonde with abs. I want the kid who's grown up in war torn israel, with missionary parents, who knows what matters in life (and its not stupid high rollers getting drunk on an air shuttle). I want the jewish Horton that has a brain in his head - like just about every decent fanfic writer has invisioned.

With all this said - I did notice a strong facial resemblance to Roark Critchlow. So I'm sure he'll be the Mike that comes back should they ever decide to

I agree with you.

Shawn Brady actually looks Jewish. In fact, I think he is Jewish in real life right?

IMO both these guys look generic though. Jett's probably not really gonna be written as a black guy).

Only on Young and the Restless do they write believable black characters from a black point of view.

I bet there will be lots of good beefcake for the summer though! :P

    • I assume in name only?  One Stormy Night wasn't exactly steamy.  If it's a literal throwback then Stephanie's writing about sexy times her own Uncle was having lol. Since I am going to surmise it's just a throwback to the name, Night Sins and Winter Heat both sound sexier.  Just saying.  I swear Jamey (and Ron) just google things and land on the first thing they like and decide it's a good throwback to history without watching it.
    • I usually don't want Tide placement in the middle of an intense sad scene, but this is an interesting point

    • Thanks!   Was anyone watching during this time? Wondering how Peggy’s rape played out onscreen. It just seems cruel to subject the Brooks family to this trauma a 2nd time.   Feels like the writers have already given up on the character of Jennifer, even though she sticks around another year-plus. She should be a passionate and fierce protective mother, but instead she seems just reactionary (and not even mentioned in this recap) This was also the case in ‘73 when Chris was raped. The writers are definitely more invested Stuart as the Brooks parent.
    • BTG got another SNL reference at 00:50  CONTEXT (so it isn't misconstrued) in this joke swap segment, Michael Che frequently makes his white cohost Colin Jost read racist jokes written by Che.

    • It's obvious that Israel's presence is a major divisive issue, and this is something that the EBU needs to deal with. According to the now published results Israel got 13 out of a possible 19 max points in the semi-final, and while their song isn't bad there's no way they would get those numbers without some kind of manipulation/political voting. They are clearly using this contest as a way of improving their somewhat tarnished reputation. I know that some people are comparing this to the massive sympathy votes that Ukraine gets and which propelled them to victory in 2022, but I feel that that was a more genuine show of support than this concerted effort from Israel to influence the televoting. I even had an ad on Youtube from Israel in Swedish(!) asking for votes! It might not be against any rules, but it feels a bit icky nonetheless.
    • Yeah, as you wrote, an Israeli win would have been a political disaster. Congratulations to Austria. 0 points from the televoting to Switzerland was a disgrace. Other than that, I really enjoyed the show ... but I'm also glad that Eurovision season is over

    • Hahaha Sorry if I was too negative, I just started typing and typing once I got going hahaha
    • @dc11786 Thanks for taking time to answer my various questions, along with giving your thoughts on the different writing teams. I wonder why they didn't just have Ryder and TR leave together if Jane was going anyway. The discussions over the last few pages have made me more interested in watching these episodes than I have been over the years - without the extra details and analyses provided, these years can be difficult to decipher (not helped by how often Jo seems like a side character).
