Members Cheap21 Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 cant be too well if you cant be bothered to remember her name...LOL. Its Jordan. This is actually a story thats irritating the heck out of me. I think they are moving WAY too slow with it. I dont like how they've been introducing her and she really needs to interact with more people besides Rafe, Kate and Gabi. She's been here since summer. They should have branched her out a bit more instead of having her be so isolated. She's a character that isnt quite working for me and seems more like a day player instead of a contract cast member. I feel as if JJ's friend Bev has more of a personality and purpose at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 This just goes to prove how hard it is to introduce a new character. When it happens fast and the person is in a lot of scenes (Dylan/YR, Ava/GH, hell maybe all of the newbies on GH) many long term fans are pissed. If it happens too slow some fans are bored. I can't remember the last time I've seen fans happy with the introduction of a new character. Maybe when it really works it's relatively seamless and people don't feel strongly enough to bring it up, idk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 Would JJ on this show count? He's pretty much a new character as the last time we saw him he was a baby. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Skin Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 Legacy characters/children are seemingly held to a different standard than newbies in regards to saturation quotas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Juliajms Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 Hmm I think it's true that people have more patience for legacy characters, but JJ's introduction was pretty good, at least by my standards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 I really enjoyed JJ's introduction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members juniorz1 Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 Fans also seem to have higher expectations for legacy characters, which makes what they've done with JJ nothing short of a miracle! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members SFK Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 I was so glad that Chad got in that remark about Abby playing him and Cameron against each other before he left yesterday. I liked Chad, sorry to see him go. Watching this show, you can just feel all of the impending departures in the air. I have a hunch Nick is going to go off the deep end and hurt/kill Cameron, and "sworn off men for awhile" Abby will be resisting the charms of some newbie before you know it. The moment JJ barged in at Daniel's, I just knew Nicole was going to wake up and hear it all, and sure enough... Anne just *lives* for taking somebody down. I thought the ending with Marlena was great. At times, she reminds me of a well-educated Krystle Carrington. I love how so many lies are being told and there's at least one third party in each s/l who's in on the truth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sungrey Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 I had to laugh at the remark about Days being like a drug-addicted cousin. Sometimes you have to quit cold turkey, though. I too think all of the impending departures are going to hurt this show down the road. If the show changes writers, it needs to start respecting the vets once again. Bryan and Drake returning are steps in the right direction. The show needs to do more to get back viewers like me who have left in the past year due to cast departures, stories, etc. Days has great actors. It just doesn't utilize their talent enough.

Members Cheap21 Posted October 31, 2013 Members Share Posted October 31, 2013 LMAO! Ciara's a little biyatch. Sonny asks her why she isn't dressed up for Halloween and she gives him a stank look and goes, "Im going dressed up as the kid that hates Halloween" WTF. Bo STILL has never come back? How long has he been gone, a year? I really wish they had just pretended as if he was making visits instead of flat out being gone this long away from his wife and kid. Its out of character for him and if something happened, its OOC of Hope to not be alarmed and do some digging. The way they are writing it though, Bo seems to be fine, just away on assignment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted November 1, 2013 Members Share Posted November 1, 2013 It's so true about the 'drug-addicted cousin' LOL. I leave and come back SO many times to DAYS. I'm currently on a break, honestly because I just can't stand the endless Daniel propping and how the show feels like it revolves around him. I feel like there are so many things that I do enjoy with the show, but it's likely the cast, and the script-writers (some of them literally save this show from being crap because the actual storylines could be handled way worse). It's really not in that bad of a shape but the cast feels SO small. I think they do a lot of things right at the moment but I'm not watching so ... I can't really figure it out. The vet treatment bothers me the most. And the Daniel propping. MAKE.IT.STOP! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members StevieM Posted November 20, 2013 Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey Toups!! Well, this is the story that you might remember hardcore J&J fans (from the Connotator) BEGGING for back in the day. We wanted the rape referenced, and integrated into Jack's character identity, when he first came back in 01. We wanted this story done as soon as Abby was SORASed in 05 (even before MBE came back to the show). And it has finally happened. Since I don't watch the show anymore, I just found out today. I saw some clips on youtube. It was pretty good. There were some flaws, of course. The talk of Jack's adventures was unnecessary, and untrue. Daniel was propped, as always. (BTW, did they write it as Daniel having known all along? I didn't see). And they didn't seem to show Kayla's rapprochement with Jack, and her forgiveness of him, apparently because that interfered with the Daniel propping. Interesting, J&J fans always saw this story happening with Abby, mainly because she was the one in our hearts from the J&J heyday, while JJ came along much later (and we hated his name too). But at least the show made a relatively honest effort. Too bad the people who appreciated it the most are no longer watching. Seriously....none of the old gang from the Conn returned to put up a post. (You remember, Toups, the group you and Andre occasionally posted with back in 02). Those were the J&J diehards--and we were obliterated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted November 20, 2013 Administrator Share Posted November 20, 2013 Hey Stevie, yup, I remember Connotator. I didn't think that board still existed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted November 20, 2013 Members Share Posted November 20, 2013 Daniel didn't know about the rape. He seemed shocked when JJ said it and gave Jennifer a concerned look. And I don't think they needed to explain Kayla forgave jack anymore than they showed. She told JJ was was good and he grew and loved his mother and all of that. I agree about Abby tho. I wish that her finding out had been played at some point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
