Man...
I like Jennifer and Daniel. Stoooopid Carly!
And, Abby is the voice of reason here. I really like how Abby laid it out that Carly's a strung out surgeon who needs help, not a boyfriend. Way to go Abby!

From the Jennifer angle,the Carly's an addict story has bugged me.It just feels to me like Jenn really has no idea what's going on,or what a drug addict is all about.I found it very juvenile they gave Jenn the reasoning that if Carly has Daniel,she'll stop the drugs.Is she serious?LOVED Abby straightening her mom out on that point.It's sad though when the kids start sounding like a parent.

I don't like Daniel. I never have. But he really put his heart on a platter and for Jennifer to just run out of the pub like a 16 year old was ridiculous. Jennifer knows what Daniel has been through and I would think she would care about hurting his feelings as much as she cares about Carly.
On the other hand, I would have loved for Jennifer to say, "You know Daniel, I had sex with you one time and it was pretty icky and I really don't want to do it anymore. Let's just be friends."

Are we supposed to feel bad for poor Daniel? I surely don't...I'll never forget or forgive him for the way he treated Chloe since the hysterical pregnancy ,all the great promises he didn't keep and the way he got over her and moved on faster than he could blink. I don't buy into his so callled love for Jennifer anymore than I buy the so called great love he had for Chloe and so called great pain he felt at the reveal...this man can't love.....Only his ego got hurt just like now. So I don't feel sorry for him.

It bothered me that he said that all the other women he's known after his wife died were destined to ruin his life, except Jennifer. That's one hell of a "line."

Never mind that he's the one who harrassed Chloe until she gave into him,(he had to have her or he'll die),he's the one who failed her when she most needed him and he knows it and confessed it twice, he's the one who didn't bother asking fo a 2nd paternity test before turning his back on Parker and he's the one who didn't bother to take 5 minutres to sit and talk to Chloe,at least listen to her before making any decision,try to work things out...but no...Chloe ruined his life? He's doing great,he got over her and moved on in a heartbeat,didn't blink an eye when she was about to die.The one who's life is destroyed,the one who's devastated the one who actually got hurt in all that is Chloe.The ony thing that hurt Daniel is his huge ego.
Chloe didn't believe in his love because he lied to her about Melanie being his kid, failed her after the hysterical pregnancy, put another woman,Carly,before her,lied to her about what he was doing the night of the ons...But of course she was supposed to "believe in him and his love"
Chloe trusted him before. What changed that was his behavior ever since Carly and Melanie got into his life,especially since the hysterical pregnancy
....Chloe wanted a chance to work things out and explain..and Daniel wouldn't have given her that chance just like he didn't after the reveal
Chloe did have the proof that Daniel lied to her. So she had every reason to doubt him and no reason to doubt the nurse and the clerck....No she didn't believe Vivian. she believed two strangers who had no reason to lie to her.
So I don't feel sorry for poor blameless innocent Daniel...as far as I am concerned he can go to hell

I was a little put off by the way he regarded Chloe lumped into the "destined to ruin his life" comment. For pretty much all the reasons listed above.
But, I think that Jennifer is being rather ridiculous. If she cared about Daniel, she should at least give him a reason for the cold shoulder, even if it is just to say "I'm confused by things right now". He should know the score, since they pride themselves on how honest they are with each other.
They're at the beginning of a relationship, not committed by years. So, it's okay to end things. But, since they also regard each other as friends, she owes him a little more than running away from him. Dan's ego likes the chase.

I agree that Jennifer was acting like a big baby. She and Daniel worked together to try to sort out what was wrong with Carly, it is pretty ridiculous for her not to tell him what is going on, especially because he is both a doctor AND Carly's friend. And everything Abby said made perfect sense, Jen should have listened to her daughter. She apparently taught her well!

I don't think Jenn is doing this to push Daniel onto Carly. She's doing this because her best friend has a drug problem and see them together just complicates it. I do think Jenn should confide in Daniel instead. Agree not too flaunt their relationship in public but to keep it more private & more professional at work. I truly believe Jenn has confidence in Carly that she can help herself at this point.

Oh this is just the writers attempt at throwing some angst in the mix for the goody two shoes couple...if it weren't for Carly, what would they have to be unhappy about? ;D At the end of the day, Daniel is not going to run into Carly's arms, so Carly will continue to unravel and finally get "outed" and Daniel will think "oh, what a wonderful friend Jennifer was to step back for Carly"...blah blah blah and they will be doing to horizontal mambo once again.
And I agree...Daniel hasn't been getting on my last nerve these days, but I didn't like his little soliloquy either. What a load of BS. How did Chelsea ruin his life. hmmm? Oh yeah, that was on HIM.

Unless it's a self evaluation criticism...his behavior with these younger women is self destructive.
Not sure if Daniel is that deep, but I could see it if he were to say that.

I took Daniel's speech in a different way.
Before I met my 2nd husband I dated a bunch of losers, & that's how I tell people. But not really all of them. A couple just became friends.
We don't really know know much about Daniel's life after Rebecca died & he came to Salem. I see it as he was generalizing the bunch, not meaning every single one of them.... I guess I don't dislike him as much and I try to see it on a mans scale & not a womans.
