It didnt interfere with any story plans. The only thing it messed up was Dani's age bc she should have been younger than Jack. Making her older had no bearing on recasting Carmen with Andrew. Besides this was a year and a half later and they obviously didnt have the bullying plot in mind back then

It's interesting, because I remember when the story started some fans said the story was great because it was obviously planned so far in advance, based on how CP's Jack had been written.

I dont recall anyone saying that but even if that were the case, making Danielle older than him didnt interfere with the recasting or bullying story at all.

You don't remember people saying that Jack's behavior towards Shane was true to him because of how he'd acted towards other people?

I just wonder if the recasting had anything to do with making Jack older than Danielle. Either way it doesn't matter to me, because I didn't like Jack very much before or after the recast, but it's odd that this happened right around the time they probably knew they were getting RH back (and now they won't have to worry about confusing timelines).

Yes I recal that but that doesnt = the bullying story was planned 2 years ago

Recasting Jack has not made him older than Danielle. He is still her younger brother.

Isn't the actor older than KM? He looks about his age, whereas CP looked younger than Kelli. But I guess they didn't mention aging the character.

Kelly Missal will be 18 this Oct. Andrew Trischitta is 16. Not only is the character of Danielle older, but her portrayer is as well. Jack just finished his freshman year in high school and she finished her junior year. SORASing him didnt do anything to change their age order

For some reason I remembered reading that the actor was 18 or 19. I guess he looked older than the character's age, to me. Thanks for correcting me.

Anyone know (or care) the status of the character Mathhew? Does he sleep through the end, does he wake? Is there a recast in order?

I don't think even the show knows.

They know. They have to. No??

Joking aside, I think they've left it open-ended, like Evangeline's coma.

True, however, we are on 'borrowed' time now!!

You're right. I just think they've written it in a way where Matthew never has to be seen again. I can imagine the last scenes being Nora with Destiny and the baby, or Bo and Nora leaving to go visit Matthew.

It's pretty ridiculous. I remember when we all first heard that someone was going to die we assumed it was Matthew and that EA was being let go...and now I honestly would prefer it. They're doing this ridiculously drawn out story where we only see EA once every three weeks with his eyes closed and it's dumb. Pull the plug and move on because now we're at the point of not caring. RC is and always has been a hack..

And my only issue with the Danielle thing is, less than a year before her arrival there were scenes of Todd and Tea talking about how he left her on the island 6 years before..but this is the same writer that at one point had Ford be considered a rapist, then it was Tess having sex with Ford, then it was actually a knowing Jessica having sex just to try and make the audience feel something for Ford outside of contempt.

I am thinking, and this is only my opinion, is they are waiting to see who PP decides to offer jobs to??

They may need a Buchannan to stay on the show.....

That has to be why Matthew is in limbo. JMO!

When is James leaving??? And why is Baz back??
