Ok,so this is what I've been thinking...I'm really not as traumatized by Brady/Mel as much as most seem to be.This is why....from what I'm seeng this is the whole Mate/Phelanie triangle all over again,minus the Stephanie factor.From what I'm seeing,Brady is now in the Nathan role.He's comfortable,not much passion,although he does care for her,he does TRY to be her knight in shining armor.Dario is in Philip's role.Everytime they're within 10 feet of eachother sparks fly,just like they did with Phelanie.If you recall,Phelanie started with hate and turned into deep love.The only huge problem I have with this is that I really don't like the actor to play Dario.Maybe if they recasted with someone better.....

Or tried something that wasn't recycled? ;D I loved Mel. But with Dario? I just end up not liking them both. If she needs to go for a bad boy juct out of high school she should try Chad. And she would get to interact with EJ and Stefano AND KATE. If we have to draw her into the EJ/Sami stuff I'd rather she go over to the darkside. Now that might be really fun.

I see your comparisons Delina and I concur. As you said, Dario is no Philip. Part of the reason that Philip and Melanie worked is that it was a surprise. At least to me it was. They were enemies, at odds, he was building a relationship with Stephanie, and Melanie wasn't very likable at first. I had no idea they were leading up to a bonafide relationship between Philip and Melanie. The progression was natural (mostly, until it was rushed when they got engaged). But Melario is being forced down our throats and you can see it coming a million miles away and can't help but roll your eyes.  Dario has no charm or charisma ... or acting abilities for that matter. So I would give TPTB an F- if they are trying to recreate the magic of Phelanie. |

Well,you didn't say "D,you're crazy!"so there must be some validity to what I'm seeing,lol.You're right though.Although I don't want them to make her younger again (that would just be stupid as they've sorased her so many times),I'd definitely like to see her with someone else.Who knows,the pairing may grow on me,but I doubt it.I'm still too into Phelanie.

.......................................But Melario is being forced down our throats and you can see it coming a million miles away and can't help but roll your eyes....... Melario....  Isn't that where all the evil scientists lived in the movie Igor.... ? Or is it that disease you get from dirty water.... Either way, it certainly fits Dario....!!!! Dario has no charm or charisma ... or acting abilities for that matter. So I would give TPTB an F- if they are trying to recreate the magic of Phelanie. The man creeps me out....truly....I don't like Taylor and the actress is really bad, but she doesn't creep me out, she just irritates me.....I truly do not like watching Dario and try to look away when he is on the screen......I just can't imagine him having a future in acting...... |

I can't stand Dario and I hate the way they are trying to shove this relationship down our throats.

I fear I may have to Fast Forward my girl for a bit. I cannot take her with either man. I don't want to see Brady kissing anything besides Mel's forehead ever again.

It was really weird yesterday when Dario was holding her face to make sure she was ok. Even my husband goes "Wait. Didn't that guy try to rob her like a week ago?"

As far as I'm concerned I don't think that they are reinventing the Nathan/Melanie/Philip triangle with Brady and Dario. However, if they are, I think that if anything Dario is taking Nathan's place and Brady is assuming Philip's role. I think that the main reason why Mark was let go was because TPTB saw a spark between Francisco San Martin and Molly Burnett that did not exist between Mark and Molly. When Philip/Jay decided to leave they probably inserted Brady into Philip's role. If I'm right about what happened I firmly believe that Days needs to rest Melanie's character until people have time to get over Nathan and Philip's departures. If they do anything between Dario/Mel let them be friends only for the time being. They need to step back from this and put a little more thought into the storyline. As for Brady, I also see no reason why they need to ruin the friendship between Brady and Melanie. I also, don't there to be a romance between them, not now not ever. Bottom line is that they need to SLOW DOWN A LITTLE.

I, for one, am sick of them having women keeping it in the family.
Chloe - Philip, Brady, Lucas
Nicole - Brady, Lucas, Victor
Sami - Lucas, Austin
Carrie - Lucas, Austin
Melanie - Philip, Brady
My goodness, how about a little bit of family variety???
(Am I missing any others?)

Minako, add Daniel to Chloe's list of related males. He's an adjunct Kiriakis family member.

In some of the older scenes I have seen lately on youtube, I get the feeling that Nicole wouldn't have minded a hook up with Philip. She looked a bit jealous walking in on Philip/Chloe kissing during the FWB days. She was with Victor then I think. But then who wouldn't want a hook up with Philip!

I think his name is Francisco San Martin. Kind of struck me as funny.
I don't know how I feel about them. I don't mind them as much as I did at first, but I still don't like it. There are moments when I think OK, maybe I can like this guy and then poof! He does or says something to just irk me. I think they should do a recast for sure, if not just get rid of the character all together (I wish).
