Peanut6711 January 19, 2021 Share January 19, 2021 (edited) On the next Days of our Lives??? Brady and Charlie are shot on the same night (probably in Murder Park) as Julie’s medical emergency. As Charlie is being wheeled into the hospital on a gurney, Allie is chasing after the medical team and spots Kayla. “Aunt Kayla, you’ve got to save Charlie! He was just about to confess that he raped me when I raised the gun a little too high and my finger got twitchy. I need you to make sure he wakes up and talks so I can get his confession and give it to my favorite person Rafe.” Kayla: “Gee it’s really busy here tonight, Allie, and as usual we’re short staffed because of budget reasons and all, but I guess I can see to it personally and do my best.” Allie: “Oh thank you Aunt Kayla, I knew you’d understand.” Kayla: “Yeah, it’s really disheartening when your rapist walks around town free. Oh look, there’s mine now…” *enter Jack and Jennifer who’ve gotten a call that Julie has been brought in* Jennifer: “Kayla! We rushed right over here. What’s going on with Julie?” *Kayla flashes look of dismay* “Well I don’t know how to tell you guys this, but it’s not looking good.” Jennifer: “Oh my gosh, is she dying?” Jack: “Who will nose in everyone’s business, spread the town gossip, and over-react now?” Kayla: “Well Nicole has been practicing for that role so I wouldn’t worry about that. The problem is, it’s really busy here tonight, and we’re short on doctors. I’ve paged Sarah, but she’s going to be playing Nancy Drew for another week. I have to scrub in right now to save Charlie since his story has the most potential. I’m afraid we only have one option left.” *dramatic music plays* Jennifer: “What’s that?” *cut to commercial* *return from commercial* Kayla: “We’re going to need to call in Dr. Rolf.” *more dramatic music* Jennifer: “Are you crazy?” Kayla: “It’s the best I can do. Look at the bright side, Wilheim hasn’t lost a patient yet. She could die on the table and he’ll just bring her right back. Of course, the downside is that she’ll wake up impregnated with Stefano’s clone so there’s that…” Jennifer: “Oh Kayla, no.” Jack: “Wait a minute, Jennifer. This could be a big break for The Spectator. Think of the headline potential. Plus all the letters to the editor won’t be about my affair with Kate or my love child to your mother anymore.” Jennifer: “I suppose our daughter already jumped in bed with the Dimeras. Twice. Our grandchildren are Dimera offspring soooo…. I guess cousin Julie is just going to have to take one for the team. The good news for her is that even with SORAS she won’t still be alive to see him take over the Dimera empire and rule Salem. If Julie wants to be around a few more years to run her harpy mouth, Kayla’s right—this is her last chance.

I also hope they don't kill him, but they went too far and there is a baby now and it would be easier to tell the kid that his father died than to tell him that he was conceived by rape.

I'm totally on the same page with you on all of this! Often the villains (excluding Kristin) are the most interesting and the so-called heroes and heroines are the snoozefests, some of them even being former bad guys and girls who've been watered down or whitewashed so that they too are now the pillars of Salem community, whether they deserve that pedestal or not. So if the powers to be want to keep MM on set, they will (and should) find a way to make Charlie take up permanent residence in Salem.... or I suppose even Statesville.

I think that shift happened during JER who dumbed down the heroes to elevate the villains because he had no clue on how to write heroes and heroines. For example: John had to become an idiot for Kristen to fool him with a pillow under her dress when she pretended to be pregnant. JER conveniently forgot for the sake of his plot that John had a pregnant wife named Isabella so he knows what a pregnant woman's body looks like and feels like.. I am pretty sure he also had sex with his pregnant wife.

Except that we are somehow supposed to believe that a woman old enough to have a grown daughter (I wasn't watching when her and Jack hooked up, but shouldn't she have been pushing 50?) not only had another child, abandoned it, and never thought of/ mentioned it again? Yup, GREAT writing. This does NOT mean I want it to be Eve's child - if she had had Jack's child she definitely would have used that information against Jennifer at some point. While I REALLY wanted it to not be Jack's child, wouldn't it make more sense if it was some random woman Jack hooked up with while he and Jennifer were apart? That way, they could still have the plot point of him dealing with her crazy but because he wouldn't have known she existed we would be spared another round of everybody in Salem (who have pretty much all done questionable things) being morally aghast at Jack. 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6561989

I also don't want Jack saddled with some newbie retcon that they obviously didn't know what to with so they stuck her with Deveraux unit. I don't believe she'll end up being Jack's in the end. I'm not trusting anything Gwen says as being remotely true. I've seen people saying that just because she cried at the end that means she MUST be telling the truth. Bullshit. She's crazy. And after all the known lies she's already told, her word by itself means nothing. I agree with you in not caring that this would have happened pre-Jennifer. I also am not interested in him being stuck in the middle. It would totally go against his established characterization. Jack, despite his flaws, has always been totally devoted to and loyal to Jennifer and his kids. He would NEVER be torn between them and some chick who deliberately set out to hurt them all. Daughter or not. This isn't some teen/early 20-something who still needs guidance/can learn, this is a chick pushing 40 who had no real reason to have done what she did. Lots of people grow up with absent parents and suffer because of it, but that's life. It isn't always fair, but you deal with the hand you've been dealt and move the fuck on. I know the Johnsons accepted Tripp and I don't like that either, but at least he had being a stupid kid (more or less) in his favor. And the absence of JJ in this story already makes it a failure. Jack, never favored Abigail over JJ. There's just been more on-screen interaction between Jack and Abby. NOT because Jack favored Abby over JJ, it just worked out that way. In real time, it was 12 years between Abby's onscreen birth in 1992 and JJ's birth in 2004, but based on the actors and SORAS, its probably like 3-4 years difference. Also, Matt Ashford has had a lot more time on-screen w/ adult Abby than adult JJ b/c JJ wasn't on much as a child b/c they moved to London and they kept him off screen when Jack and Jenn came back in 2011-12. Abby stayed in Salem when Jack, Jen, and JJ went to London, so JJ was being raised and loved by his parents with no issues off screen. Casey Moss showed up in like 2013(?) and Matt came back in 2019. But despite that, Jack, even with amnesia, always showed an extreme affection for his son. I was glad that Abby was off-screen for much of that time, so that JJ could get some focus with his parents, especially Jack. All that being said, this narrative that stupid Gwen is spinning, that just shows how delusional she is, about Jack only caring about Jen and Abby, isn't true.

Retired at last January 23, 2021 Share January 23, 2021 I don't think Gwen is Jack's. I think Laura may have treated Gwen's mother in the past and knows who the real father is. Maybe someone (even Jack's SOB father) may have pretended to be Jack and used his name so that's what Gwen was told. I just don't think it is Jack. And I think Laura was sending the money to keep Jennifer and Jack's relationship safe. 2 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564177

nilyank January 23, 2021 Share January 23, 2021 If Jack had an idea that he had a daughter out there that was a few years older than Abby, you would think he would have reached out to her mother when Abby got sick and needed a donor to save her life. 3 2 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564193

She certainly isn't going to sit back and let Gwen hurt her daughter and granddaughter if she can help it. Whatever she knows probably blows things up for Gwen. I hope she shows up and escorts Gwen back to the mental institution. She's obviously unstable and not above trying to kill someone. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564198

Well I wouldn't say they had no issues JJ didn't take Jack's death well and Abby/Jennifer left him in boarding school by himself after the Daysaster. He ended up getting into the drug scene(which I wish the show explored more where it came back to haunt him but I digress) and hated Dannifer(which wasn't long enough) course they didn't milk that drama long enough.. Which is unfortunate because I think a story where JJ resents Abby getting all the attention and acted out by embracing his darker side would've been a better story especially where Jack would have to see his son repeat similar mistakes like him. 13 hours ago, boes said: But but but she's CHANGED!? Hasn't she? In any case, she can't be held accountable because she's a MOTHER. In Salem isn't there "Lani's Law" that says if you're a mom you're never guilty of anything other than "loving too much"? Gun sales in Salem must skyrocket on Mother's Day. That was the worst. That applies to everyone but Gabi apparently... I'm trying to forget the Erica retcon what was groundbreaking at the time was ruined that easily. They also ruined Reggie/Danielle's relationship in the process with that storyline I believe. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564251

That doesn't negate my overall point which is that Jack hasn't favored one of his children over the other. I also never said they didn't have issues. Of course they did, but Jack favoring Abigail over JJ wasn't one of them. JJ not reacting well to his father's death proves my point actually. He wouldn't have had such a negative reaction if Jack wasn't someone who he loved and adored and someone who loved and adored him back. Same when JJ found out about the rape. Or when Jack showed up back from the dead at New Years 2019. Casey Moss and Matt Ashford work very well as father and son and I would love to have seen/see more of them working together. I'm glad there was never a JJ resents Abby or vice versa storyline. Or a JJ follows in his father's footsteps storyline. Both are well-worn tropes. Jack knows full well who he used to be and how terrible his mistakes were. He never needed to be taught a lesson by JJ doing the same thing. I'm glad they didn't re-tread that same old trope with the two of them. I love the relationship between Jack and JJ, especially how open and affectionate Jack is with him, and Abby as well. Considering just how HARD it used to be for him to express his feelings, especially with Jennifer at the beginning, it's great to see him always, for the most part, so open and caring with his kids. This is why I personally didn't have a problem with calling out Abby after the anniversary party. She was wrong in how she handled it and he let her know. It wasn't about absolving himself of what he did, but he was disappointed in her and he let her know. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564276
CanaryFan98 January 23, 2021 Share January 23, 2021 I miss when JJ used to call out Abby/Jennifer during his bad boy phase course afterwards that went away when he started to reform. Soaps used to have a balance of this sort of thing but they have totally neutered him and it sucks. I do however enjoy the Jack/JJ dynamic because Matt/Casey are so believable in it. I wonder who's going to tell JJ he has a sister? 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/301/#findComment-6564329
