LOL

That would be so gross. I remember a few years back their were a few scenes that made it seem like Sharon might try to seduce Daniel as revenge and people flipped out. Noah/Phyllis would be so much worse, since she was a step mother to him when he was underage.

[DeeeDee]

She can always get advice from Kevin.

Sharon/Daniel would have been an interesting story.

I don't care about Noah...I liked that Noah was more mature than his pathetic parents. Now he is yet another punk on a show full of punks ranging from 17 to 70. No thanks.

[MontyB]

LOL! I gotta admit, I love Chipmunk. I'm rooting for he and Jana to get it together.

I think the audience will more likely accept the woman sleeps with rival's son storyline with Phyllis than they would have Sharon. It looks like the kind of thing Phyllis would do and the writers can pretend that it's the 90's when it comes to Phyllis sex appeal.

NuNoah reminds me of teenage J.T. with Daniel hair.

[DeeeDee]

Kevin needs to die painfully.

As bad as Cane.

+1.

[MontyB]

I won't argue the Cane part.

[Juliajms]

Yeah, but Sharon was never a parental figure to Daniel. They may go there with Phylis/Noah, but I think it's totally skeevy, since I remember her playing games with a 10 year old Noah. That's approaching Bridget/Ridge levels of pseudo incest.

As far as MS sex appeal, I'm pretty sure most of the male population wouldn't be in any hurry to kick her out of bed. I think she's aging pretty well. Actually, I think that's true for most of the GC women in their late 30's/ 40's.

[DRW50]

I could believe Sharon/Daniel more than Phyllis/Noah. Phyllis has not really ever slept around. She usually just wants one person and if she is with someone else it's out of loneliness or whatever. Sharon was written as needing to have sex with a lot of men to make up for her mental illness. Given Daniel's porn addiction and his relationship with a porn star, he must have also had issues with sexuality. What if he and Sharon started sleeping together when they were at low points and then slowly fell for each other?

[Juliajms]

I wouldn't mind Sharon/Daniel. Maybe down the road Daniel could pick up the pieces when Adam screws Sharon over. Right now, I believe Sharon/Adam is going to happen at some point soon.

It's true Phyllis tends to get obsessed with one person, but historically she does sleep around out of revenge and as part of her plots. I don't really mind that these women sleep around. Jack and Billy get to have random sex without seeming pathetic. Phyllis and Sharon should get the same treatment. Instead they have to be portrayed as mentally ill or doing it up against a dumpster. Sometimes I feel like Mad Men era writers are in charge of soaps.
