Finally. People are dating in Salem. Not just bumping into each other, proclaiming fatal attraction and then next thing you know they're in bed together.
Daniel and Jennifer have been dating, going out to dinner, playing darts and pool, etc. It's nice and it's realistic.
Abby and Chad had a date in Wednesday's show.
Maggie and Victor have been out together.
This is the kind of romance we've been wanting. Maybe it's not perfect, but it's getting closer.
Thank you TPTB.

I like the dates. I think they are sweet. I just don't want to see a Melanie Dimwit date. Yuck.

I'd like to see Mel and Dario date (hear me out) and then realize that although there was an intital physical attraction, they actually have nothing in common and should remain friends (at most). THAT would be a realistic dating experience. Not everyone that dates sleeps together or falls madly in love. Just becuase you're hot for someone doesn't mean that you are a good match.
On a side note, I actually thought I saw a very small moment between Chad and Melanie (not necessarily between Casey and Molly) and thought they might be cute together. Of course, that could have just been because of the actors' history, but there was a hint of something there.
I've also heard there might be a Chad/Nicole pairing in the future. Even though I'd say there's easily 10-13 years between Casey and Ari, it also has possibilities. Thoughts?

I would love to see more Chad/melanie scenes together. I liked their scene together. I think Melanie should be hanging/ friends with Abigail and Chad group. That being said, as much as I love Mel and Bradys friendship, I thought he seemed VERY out of place at the cheating heart with them.
Jkjpatch, I agree this is not perfect but it's much better. Love the dates everyone has been going on lately. Felt sad for Jennifer at the end of Hers today though.
As for dd's thoughts question on Nicole and Chad: it doesn't bother me who Nicole is ever with because she always has such amazing chemistry with everyone she works with. I dont like her relationship with EJ but i love their scenes together. They work very well together.

DD, I completely forgot that Molly and Casey dated or are dating. I knew that, but I wasn't thinking about it at all when they shared a scene. Was it their first ever scene together? Because I saw it too. I saw something that said "now there is a match worth exploring."
And ITA that it would be nice to see a couple date and then say "Nah. Not for me."

^^^ Yes, I think that might have been their first scene together (although that seems hard to believe). I'm glad I'm not the only one that thought there was something between them.  |

I thought he seemed VERY out of place at the cheating heart with them. You are right. Brady seemed totally out of place. Compare that to the scene he shared with Nicole the day before which was an off the charts chemical reaction. Felt sad for Jennifer at the end of Hers today though. OMG, that was so heartbreaking. There she was all dressed up, anticipating a special evening, complete with Victoria's Secret underwear, and he acted distant. Her expression at the end of the show was perfect. I really felt for her. |

I totally agree that I love the dating scenes. I hope there's more of them. Sweet moments are so rare on DOOL nowadays (it's been heartbreak city for too long).
I think that's why I actually like Daniel/Jennifer. They're cute together.
I love Chad and Abby together. I know there's a lot of people that don't like Abby, but she's grown on me. And, she compliments Chad.

I also felt so bad for Jenn... Here Daniel was trying to take it slow so he doesn't hurt her & instead he hurt her.
He should have at least kissed her on the lips goodbye & not the cheek...

Personally I'm not fond of Abby,at least in day to day dealings or when she's bashing daddy,because that's just not who Abby is to me,BUT I will say that I enjoy her with Chad.I don't know if anyone has noticed,but he brings out a softer side to her,and it's nice.

In the new SOD there is a Q&A with Ari Zuker and she said that she would like a Nicole/Chad pairing to happen. If it did I think it would be a brief affair based on sexual attraction. I can't see them being an actual couple. Both Ari and Nadia seem to have chemistry with a variety of guys.
I think it is great to show people dating and getting to know each other. I hope it continues. It would be realistic for someone to date a few times and decide to end things.

I really love that we're seeing dating! There is a balance, though -- some of this is soooo pedestrian. Daniel and Jen are on, like, everyday and all they do is have these VERY normal interactions. Today was literally just a bunch of people hanging out at the Cheatin' Heart. I mean, it's WAY better than EJ and Taylor touching a scarf and becoming obsessed with one another, but there's got to be a way to depict more realistic dating and pacing with a little more actual story.
And I also love the idea of moving Melanie into the Chad orbit a bit. I know she's more like 23-25 at this point, but she looks like she fits with Chad and Abby much more than she ever did with Philip or Brady.
