Retired at last August 9, 2021 Share August 9, 2021 Making a phone call on Christmas is hardly a return! But that sure keeps her off the story for a long time. I wonder what they will end up doing with Jack since it seems like that character is not coming back anytime soon. And interesting that they went with Melissa instead of Cady for the phone call. ETA But, I am sure that some of the fans will be happily surprised on the Christmas Day show to see that. 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6941601

I am betting it is just a phone call home kind of a deal. I was more horrified that she and Scott were maskless and hugging said fan, especially since I doubt they are vaccinated, but I am hyper sensitive to that stuff right now. Either way will be nice to see her on screen,however briefly. She apparently has not been watching the show as she had no clue about Gwen lol Understandably. But why do you doubt they’re vaccinated?

Soooo. I was one of the first to get the covid vaccination as soon as it came out. So, I’m good with people who don’t wish to get the vac, and people who do. My only problem is people (my family) have obesity and diabetes, and elderly , refusing to get the vaccination.

Well this exact thing could be said about Camilla Banus as well. Either way its up to the show if its a phone call I doubt she'd be sharing scenes with anyone. I prefer MR's version of Jennifer but at the same time Jennifer isn't really needed regardless of actress. I mean I would've been ok with Jennifer not returning because if all she's going to do is not have a voice of disdain towards Gwen there's no point. If she's going to be a yes woman to Jack on this issue at the expense of their daughter it doesn't matter which version of Jennifer it is tbh. On another note they're already filming Christmas now so I guess they're over 4 months ahead in taping. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6942502

I liked Jennifer( Melissa) wayyyy back in the day..but didn’t realize she had these views. Anything specific, or is this just “political “ nonsense? I don’t follow social media , so have know idea. Let's see how many details I can remember...in a nutshell, when the management behind restaurant chain Chick-Fil-A revealed strong anti-gay views and social media was aghast, Missy defiantly voiced support for the chain in a perky tweet. Jennifer, by extension, had no scenes with Will afterwards, in spite of him working for her at the Spectator, presumably because Missy wasn't interested in endorsing gay behaviors (one assumes). Then during BLM, Missy again stepped in it (tweets, I think), to the point where costars Lamon and Sal took to social media to counter her comments, clearly expressing frustration. As previously stated, her husband is apparently quite controlling and "religious" and folks believe him catching her in her affair with Jason Brooks - aka Peter Blake on DAYS - years ago lead to him keeping her on a tight leash. Whether or not her views are really her own, or just what the hubby wants her to say, doesn't change their impact. Downplaying covid, downplaying the systemic abuse of AA people, downplaying homophobic policies....it adds up. It's all online. That said, she's always seemed very sweet on the show and obviously wouldn't have kept a job there for years if everyone hated her. Still...I'd love to know what her costars think of this. And yes, CB has also downplayed covid, which is really disappointing. But Missy has covered more ground, it seems. I'm kind of amazed that Ron is getting to write a bi four-way love story. The show hasn't exactly been comfortable keeping gay characters in the spotlight. Albert really approved this? And now Chanel is maybe going to lust after Allie's brother? I know soaps always create creepily awkward bed-hopping dynamics, but it would have been really nice not to depict a bi person as being willing to sleep with siblings. Bi doesn't mean anything goes. I felt similarly uncomfortable with Will and Sonny both nailing Paul. Like..."not straight" doesn't equal "comfortable with anything/so horny it's all just details", you know? If Chanel went from Allie to someone outside her family line, that would be better. What do you guys think - is she being written as too cavalier? I'm seeing good potential for an EJ/Nicole Redux, now that Sami ruined her relationship with Eric and both she and EJ could want revenge. Plus, Allie is Team Nicole, adding fuel to the "Sami is bad, Nicole is good" stance that will drive Sami up the wall. I could easily see Ron wanting to build towards another huge Sami/Nicole brawl. And if AS is leaving in a few months, EJ has to be viable without her. Abigail getting back with him would only end things with her and Chad, and the producers don't seem to want that. Nicole with Rafe is pointless. Sure he's Sami's ex, but there would be no stakes to their relationship. They'd have to force other characters to care. So EJ and Nicole having a love/hate revenge relationship makes the most sense long-term. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6943721

Jack was presumed dead at that point otherwise I did like the idea of the story but yeah the Daniel part left a lot to be desired. However someone other than Ron wrote JJ's story and someone other than Ron should write this one.

RunningMarket August 13, 2021 Share August 13, 2021 (edited) So, Ben will obviously suffer no consequences for his actions. He just gets a wedding again right away. Regardless of TWU WUV, he still kidnapped someone and held them against their will. Hell, all those times he harassed Ciara, he should have been arrested for that. Also, if the rumours are true that Paulina is Lani's mom, does this indicate Abe isn't really her father? It's probably mystery bad man from her past? Because why else would Abe mention that story to her today?

Because why else would Abe mention that story to her today? Ben has committed multiple crimes since his "redemption" and he's gotten off every single time. The only time he's gone to jail was the one time he wasn't guilty. It's probably the reason the show was willing to acknowledge that what he did was kidnapping because they knew it wouldn't matter and he wouldn't face consequences anyway. Other than wanting to rip-off an old Bo/Hope storyline, so they could continue pretending CIN is anything like them, I don't know what the point was of divorcing the couple if they were just going to hurry and get them re-married. I assumed they did it so Ben wasn't tied down the next time VK leaves, but it feels like they're out of options of what to do the next time she leaves since they've already gone the presumed dead route. Unless, he leaves with her next time, which I'd be all for. Yeah, I'm assuming now the abusive guy is her dad which is why Paulina felt she couldn't raise her. This still seems to not speak very highly of Lani's "mom" (I forget her name.) Unless she somehow didn't know Lani wasn't hers, what was the point of her telling Abe years after the fact that Lani was his and letting them bond? 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6950007
DisneyBoy August 13, 2021 Share August 13, 2021 None of this makes me remotely more interested in Lani. Now that she likely has Paulina as her real Mom, is it too much to hope for a suicide storyline? Sorry, that's dark. I'm tired. And Lani's tired too. In fact, she has been since day one. Ron giving us two adult characters having big confrontations with their secret parents in the same year is also tired. First Gwen, now Lani. I'd rather watch Lani look for loose change in the couch cushions than feign interest in her parentage. What's the point of writing this in? Will Sal cry again? Whoopie. I rewatched the clips of Abigail setting Ben on fire again yesterday. It was deeply satisfying. That's all I'll say about that. 4 6 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6950150

tribeca August 13, 2021 Share August 13, 2021 I know most don’t like Lani. I did like Abe with his family. Lani and Theo seemed close too. 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6950314
CanaryFan98 August 13, 2021 Share August 13, 2021 While I think Abe deserves better than Lani as a daughter I also don't see the point either. Abe just continues to be crapped on by this show as they see him as nothing but a talk to for the other characters on this show and his family doesn't seem to matter. This also falls flat if Tamara doesn't show up in this storyline at all and not be told off by Abe and Lani for letting them think they were related all these years... That being said outside of DNA nothing has changed with Abe/Lani's relationship. This is also Ron ripping off JER yet again using Lexie's backstory for Lani(sister raises child and the bio mother pretends to be her aunt) however at least when JER set it up I liked it and made way more sense. 7 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/6224-spoilers-and-shockers/page/338/#findComment-6950354

How shady can you get - writing a likeable enough actess out of a part you barely allowed her to play without even bringing her back on screen...? Who does that? Ron is entirely too proud of his creations - Leo, Paulina, Stefan, Jake - and too happy to let others wither, even if they're lead characters with history. As much as y'all are bored with Eric, I'd easily trade him (a well-written version of him anyway) for Paulina and Jake. Am I the only one who thinks the Xander/Nicole/Eric/Sami/Lucas/EJ storyline is easily the most engaging plot of the year? By a mile? I know focus has to be shared, but I see and feel more passion for characters other than the ones I tune in for. Which is why I largely stopped tuning in. I really like James as Abe, but he has no house set, no mayoral duties, no consistent relationships....we could be getting a great storyline out of him comforting a confused and abandoned Theo...but we won't. It's a shame. 2 hours ago, boes said: DisneyBoy, you hit every mark with this post!
