November 17, 200718 yr Member Remember the actress who played Jennifer after Melissa left in 1995, remember Stephanie Cameron, who i think where much more better actress for the role of Jennifer, she gave her character more of a fiery side then Melissa did in the part. I wonder if they will take the character back, and in that case will they take on Stephanie another time?, what do you all here think?:-........
November 17, 200718 yr Member hummm.. im not sure that most people liked her. but i sure did. i love missy and she IS jennifer however i feel jennifer is needed in salem - without jack - and i think SC could do it. also Sandra Ferguson i think could be intersting in the role.
November 17, 200718 yr Member Yeah, I wasn't a big Stephanie Cameron fan, and you''re right, Melissa IS Jennifer. But I also agree that Sandra Ferguson would be a good recast. Or Jensen Buchanan. I'm just not sure if any of the above would work without Jack. I was not a fan of Jen with Colin, Brandon, Patrick, or Frankie. I love Jen with Jack, or even by herself when she's interacting with friends and family, but her romantic pairings sans Jack have been a bust. However, I think that Jack is definitely needed in Salem, with or without Jennifer. Jack and Billie would be a fun pair, and Matt Ashford has great chemistry with Alison Sweeney, too. Plus, his reunion with Steve was very short-lived, so there's lots of story potential there, as well as with Adrienne.
November 17, 200718 yr Author Member Melissa Reeves was to much of a good girl, she made Jennifer too good, she had the most awful clothing of any female cast member, because she was typed as the good one, the one who almost never did anything but looked nice and where nice to almost anyone, could wee ever see Jennifer slap someone or have a good fight with someone?, no!.... Now Stephanie Cameron was also a good girl, Jennifer but she where more of a fighter, her character, nothing against Melissa Reeves but her role as Jennifer where so booooooring!

Jensen would also be good - but id love to see SF return to daytime. she is such a great actress and i awlays ound jenn & amanda a lot alike. I think they could make it work. I have never been a fan of Jen & any man actually. Well, except for Peter. And i agree about Jack being needed in salem - i just hate the jack & jen coupling. they make eachother so utterly borring. I do think Jack & Billie would be great - and i loved Jack & Sami! I think a great story would be a kayla/steve/billie/jack/jen thing.
November 17, 200718 yr Member I liked Stephanie Cameron in the role and would like to have seen her with Matt Ashford instead of Mark Valley or the other one who came across as supergay (forgot his name). On a superficial note, she was superhot. Relating to the character, she was just more affable than Melissa's Jen - yes, thats the writing too but I have been watching since 1992 and MR's Jen has always come across as a royal bi-otch. JMHO.
November 17, 200718 yr Member I liked Stephanie Cameron as Jenn, but she was no Melissa Reeves. If DAYS ever brings back and Melissa doesn't want to return, then they should find someone like Sandra Ferguson, Jensen Buchanan or Cynthia Preston.

You and I should just have an automatic "ICDAM" reply ready. The writing made Jennifer a goody two shoes, Melissa made Jennifer interesting despite that.
November 17, 200718 yr Member since her name has been in this thread i thought id just ask here instead of making a thread... can anyone find the picture of Sandra Ferguson they took when she came onto GH as Felicia? i cant find it anywhere.

And i agree about Jack being needed in salem - i just hate the jack & jen coupling. they make eachother so utterly borring. I totally forgot about Peter! Yes, I did like Jen and Peter together. And I agree that Jack and Jen have been boring quite a lot, but I think most of that was the writing. I loved them in 1991-92 around their first wedding. And they had some really good scenes before they left this last time. But "In the House" and Jack's repeat deaths...what kind of supercouple deserves that kind of writing??

I'm not sure if this is the one you're looking for, but it's the only one I've found so far...
November 17, 200718 yr Member I'm not sure if this is the one you're looking for, but it's the only one I've found so far... no its not, but thanx for looking. i just found it. its THIS one!!
November 17, 200718 yr Author Member You and I should just have an automatic "ICDAM" reply ready. The writing made Jennifer a goody two shoes, Melissa made Jennifer interesting despite that. Icdam?, what do you mean?. Melissa Reeves Jennifer where a goody two shoes, yes i agree.
November 17, 200718 yr Member I could have accepted a recast of Jennifer if it meant keeping Jack. The recast could have simply been recurring--once every two months. Then again, they might have gotten Missy to do that much. TIIC just didn't see the point to Jack without Jennifer, a stupid position to begin with, but with Steve and Kayla coming back it was insane. Jack's departure has been a disaster for S&K. Their return has tanked as the viewers have completely rejected the new nucleus of the show: Steve&Kayla and Bo&Hope--four together, together forever.
