I don't instinctively HATE the Jonases, either. I was fine with Daniel for a long time -- even during Dannifer 1.0. The writing for him just became comical and ridiculous, with everyone running around worrying about him and talking about what a Good Man he is. It was seriously like he was Belle Black (and that is not a favorable comparison). I actually have often enjoyed him in friend mode, and I loved the initial tentative family stuff with him, Carly, and Melanie, but that seems to have been wiped away in favor of this "Daniel is good and sexy and smart and loving and virtuous" even when he exists none of those qualities. At this point, I'm just tired of hearing about him and seeing him. He should be a B-level male character, someone like Aiden from All My Children, who could be paired up with female characters for those in-between periods, act as a friend to people we care about, etc.

Hahahahahaaa!

Unlike many that dislike Daniel, I do think the actor is talented and attractive. He's just on too much, for to many years and has ruined several female characters. It is the fault of the writing, but it's gone too long so now I just hate him and want him off the show.

Why is Daniel so far up in Jennifer and JJ's business. JJ is an adult, even Jennifer is sticking her nose where it doesn't really belong. JJ has made a huge mistake and he needs to figure it out on his own, not have mommy running after him trying to clean it up.

Also, it's silly that Eve is letting Jen blackmail her. The second JJ/Paige got back together, Jen lost her leverage.

Yawwwwwwn at basically this whole week. Some amusing scenes here and there -- Nicole/Marlena sparring is funny, it's always good to see T, and the Sonny/Paul convo on Friday was nicely emotional -- but everyone is just wandering around in circles doing things that look like plot movement but really aren't. Zzzzzz.

    • Today was painful (especially for Philip).  I still feel for Xander. He was clear he was happy sharing and working with Philip. It's just one more betrayal from someone he loved. Going back to last year when he found out about Victor and Fiona, then Alex and Philip. He forgave and tried. Then Philip went behind his back again. He's been walking on the edge for weeks. This is a man who was abused, neglected and has never had any therapy for his horrific past. He has zero coping skills because he's never learned them. I hate this but I refuse to hate Xander
    • Lucy Coe wasn't even this big of a whore. 
    • Kate being the one that Alex called was a nice surprise. The cut to her looking all sheek made me instantly get excited for her to get back into business mode. And the Jack reference from when she first came to town (on-screen) was inserted naturally which is always welcome. When they were talking about how much sex sells, I almost got the impression they were sizing each other up in a May/December type of way.  All the Philip stuff was gruesome. I'm happy the show isn't shying away from Xander's ugliness. I love them both, and it just makes me intrigued for the aftermath for it all to be taken seriously. I cheered when Philip spat out at that Sarah knew the truth. I'm on tenterhooks for their eventual confrontation. I was surprised that Kate wasn't a little vicious towards Sarah for Xander's obvious behavior, but maybe that's still to come. How wonderfully entangled is it that both Philip and Shawn/Steve stopped each other from getting the drug. Both equally at fault. Who/what will ultimately save Bo? And with everything going on, is a Salem where it's looking likely that EJ is about to own the hospital imminent?  
    • Oddly.. Chase and Steve seem to have both vanished from the canvas in December so the Estelle return loses impact when two of her kids stop appearing shortly after her return (and I assume TR leaves in early 1986 as well). The Steve recast doesn't work... but it's odd that he has a long scene with Teri with Cagney looking jealous.. when the majority of his time on the show previously was a relationship and engagement to Stephanie (who he barely has a scene with in the episodes I see). Your idea for Wendy/Bela/Stephanie sounds just like what Ryan's Hope did with Michael/Kim/Rae... and considering Louise Shaffer was playing Rae and Stephanie.. it would have been a lousy redux of a superior story on another soap (that had months of build-up) I think Quinn becoming assistant to Stephanie was Mayer/Braxton... but not 100 % sure. I don't know if Mayer/Braxton was setting up Sarah as a bad girl disguised as a good girl.. but the actress (Joyner) was playing the scenes in that manner.. and Tomlin wisely tapped into that when he took over.  
    • She’s such a caricature - which is a shame because I think the actress is capable of so much more.   I don’t know why Cady often feels like she has overcompensated in her performances. She already proved she can play much more than just Dixie Cooley during her first stint at ATWT (her best acting era). Her performances in various roles since then have been quite strange at times.
    • It feels like the show suddenly woke up today and remembered it was Sweeps month. Lots of action and forward momentum, including a delicious Nina/Carly fight.

    • Where did I say that you weren't allowed to say anything? Personally I just find "disgusted" a very strong word, and not something I would use for such a trivial matter as a song contest. You obviously do, and that's your prerogative, just as it is mine to disagree.

    • Vanessa is such a bad bad cliche.
