I, too, am disappointed that we hear the same dialogue between this triangle, and I think Daniel is handling it a lot smoother than Jack right now.  Jennifer is confused, but only to a certain degree; and, yes, she seems to want them both …. but she wants Jack more.  She’s just afraid to let Daniel go completely for fear that Jack will pull another disappearing act, knowing full well that Daniel, more than Jack, will have learned his lesson and probably not want to go through it again with Jen.  Personally, I don’t think that’s going to happen.  On the other hand, I just can’t seem to help myself in still rooting for Jack and Jennifer.  They will always be one of the super couples of DOOL to me, and although I do not care for the way the writers are stalling, through all of this bickering and back and forth, the one thing that is obvious, to me, anyway, is that when Jennifer looks at Daniel now, her eyes show concern, pity, embarrassment, apologetic, all of the reasons why she doesn’t want to hurt Daniel, but they don’t show me that she is in love with Daniel, like they do when she looks into Jack’s eyes.  She can say she loves Daniel all she wants to, and to some small degree she does, but she’s not being truthful to herself.  Jennifer is still as crazy about Jack as Jack is about Jen …. always was …. always will be …. and that’s the way it should be.

sometimes he could be almost sweet and caring, but it will be interesting to learn what happened between him and Taylor.  I thought they were off to renew their love.  Now, seems like he’s going to be the new protector of the women instead of their pimp.  A little far fetched, but I’ll give it a ‘wait n’ see’ since I do like Bren Foster.  I wonder if, in fact, he is being redeemed, he will be going against E.J. in his run for mayor.  I hope they make him E.J.’s stumbling block, since he knows E.J. was a drug lord.  That would make my day if that was brought up, and who would know the facts and could prove it better than Quinn.  I’d love to see Quinn threaten him and perhaps make him decide it would be a bad idea for E.J. to run for Mayor.  So anytime I can have someone on board who can take E.J. down, you can bet, he would definitely wind up being my new BFF, and I’d love to see Quinn have a role in that. 

but I think the writers are trying to move her in the right direction.  She seems to have a loving husband whom she adores as well, she DOES have her kids with her much more than she has; and, in all fairness to Sami, if she’s going to be a working mom, it is obvious that she would have to either put them in daycare, in pre-k, or left with a babysitter.  I admit, I like Sami …. I just don’t care for the way they portrayed her yesterday.  Who doesn’t know their kids don’t have school on a particular day.  That’s why they have calendars that moms put on the fridge that give you dates schools are closed, excluding inclement weather days.  From picking up the toys and then dumping them on the stove to make coffee, to the forced child background noise throughout the scenes, to that damn forced laugh of hers, which I wish she would quit doing,  it just made Sami look like a total screw-up, which I’m sure there are those who will always think of her that way.  All that, plus she is, what, 2 days into this job and Madison hangs a project manager position on her where she’ll have to deal directly with Kate.  I don’t know about anyone else, but I’m thinking that one might be fun.  Sami was never, ever afraid to stand up to Kate, and I’d welcome a little bit of bad, snarky Sami vs. Kate back, because as relentless as Kate can be, Sami has no problems giving back what she gets.  The absolute one thing I DO NOT want to see is problems developing between her and Carrie or Carrie and Austin, or Austin and Rafe, and mostly Sami and Rafe due to Carrie and Austin being on different sides of the fence where John is concerned …… but, it sure looks to me after yesterday like that’s what’s coming our way.

that smile on his face when those girls all ran toward him could not have been any wider.  He actually looked very nice, and should dress more like that when he’s on the show instead of looking, most of the time, like he slept in his clothes.

I love to watch Enrique Iglesias move on stage.  He is one hot, sexy young man.

evidently she has endometriosis (sp?), and has dealt with it before.  I don’t know anything about the disease itself, but I read it can be very painful.  I wish her a quick and speedy recovery.

but can understand how some might automatically assume that.   Oh, well, the only thing I see about him now compared to, say, the past six months or so is that he is looks very clean-cut to me.  A good haircut and perfectly trimmed mustache and/or beard makes all the difference in the world on a man, IMO.  I could not help but notice how terrific his skin looks.  He just looked "squeaky clean" to me.  Other than that, they are Bo and Hope, and have always been one of the most attractive couples on the show.

came to Salem in the mid-eighties.  She ran a drug/pornography ring.  The silent partner and head of that ring was Victor Kiriakis.  I read on her bio that she is returning to Days this month, so I’m absolutely certain that she will be involved in Maggie’s storyline.  There’s a bunch of YouTube videos on her if you want to catch up on her story, which also involved "Patch", Neil and Liz Curtis, and several other oldies from that era.  Savannah, Victor and Patch were all put in jail by Shane Donovan when the drug/porno ring was busted, but were released at some point.  At some point shortly thereafter, Savannah left Salem.  I’m pretty blurry with her entire history, but one thing I do know is that Victor was her boss, and I’m betting Victor will have a good deal of involvement in Maggie’s new story.  I’m thinking along the lines that Victor knew all about the harvested eggs from Maggie, where they were, and that the one that was stolen was given to Daniel’s parents, who then grew to be Dr. Daniel Jonas.  In all probability, that’s how Victor was asked to be Daniel’s godfather … out of pure gratitude.  Remember, I’m speculating all of this post, but why else would Savannah be returning?  I’m thinking she may be the surrogate, and Victor knows it.  I think this is going to be one hell of a story!

of who it is going to involve.  Evidently, Savannah Wilder is going to be involved, and I’m clearly interested in that storyline.  Did Victor know anything about this?  Were Maggie’s eggs stolen and given to Daniel’s parents.  Who were Daniel’s parents?  How much does Victor have to do with this, as he will be investigating this once the letter is brought to light and they go in search of the clinic that stored the eggs.  Also, when did Alice find out and how?  These bank statements, Bo said yesterday, began 20 years ago, so is that when Alice first found out about the stolen eggs?  I’m just going to stop torturing myself with questions, because I’m finding that I am absolutely in love with this story and now that we know that Maggie has a secret child, and supposedly who it is, I’ll gladly wait and watch this one unfold.
