What did you all think when Jennifer and Daniel were comparing their bare ring fingers, and Jennifer asked Daniel how his ring finger felt sans the wedding ring? I couldn’t help thinking there was a big difference between Daniel’s marriage and Jennifer’s marriage: Years. Years and years. Jennifer was married to Jack for 20 years (on and off). Daniel wore his wedding ring for maybe 6 months. It seemed like an odd conversation to me.
And what did Chloe mean when she told Justin that “Philip screwed up almost as badly as I did”? The outcome is the same -- a broken marriage -- so how is it almost as bad?

I didn't see the scene but when I read your first sentence I immediately thought "well he didn't wear his as long so I doubt it feels as odd for him" ... and then I read further and saw that was your point. I'm angry that once again the show is trying to downplay Jack/Jennifer by comparing them to the likes of Daniel/Chloe. Even if I were a fan of the latter, the difference would still be remarkable. Not only are Daniel/Chloe a mere blip on the Days timeline but they were destined for destruction from the start. Their entire relationship was built quickly and on a very shaky foundation. They are not even close to the same league as Jack/Jennifer.
As for what Chloe meant, maybe she just means that Melanie wasn't as much of a loss as Daniel (though personally I see both "losses" as cause for celebration), but Days is so enamored of Melanie that I doubt that was the intent. It's probably because Philip didn't have post partum depression and make the mistakes with Parker that Chloe did.

OMG, I thought exactly the same thing when they compared the ring fingers. Didn't you hear me yell at the TV?  ? I agree with Kazz as to what Chloe meant. |

Kazz I agree with you too about Chloe. Chloe was referring to her PPD and losing temporary custody of Parker.

Did Daniel wear his ring long enough to even have a wedding band "tan"? I think the writers just want us to root for these two. It is better than rooting for Daniel and Chloe, but it's just too hard fo rme to root for him with anyone. Especially since now he comes with all sort of baggage...aka Melanie. I really wish Derriere would have a thing for Abby; that might make the coupling more amusing for me at least.  As for Chloe, it just feels sad that no matter what happens she blames herself more than anyone else. I want to give her a hug.  |
