Daniel & Jennifer, DAYS
Can we get off this roller coaster?
Dannifer is, for the lack of a better cliché, a roller coaster relationship. But it’s not just any roller coaster, oh no. Daniel Jonas and Jennifer Horton getting together is like that roller coaster
that’s heavily pitched all over a park’s brochures, screaming about its thrills and chills, but when you get there it’s the rickety wooden one stuffed in a corner that you can tell is on its last legs and might just kill you if you choose to ride.
Well, no one has chosen to ride ship Dannifer and no one ever will again, yet we’ve been taken on far too many trips with them. There’s only so many times Daniel can save Jennifer’s life and bring them back together. And how many more thin excuses can Jenn come up with to cut Daniel out of her life? The story just isn’t there with the two of them anymore; they’re just no super couple. The fans can see it. The writers have to too. They’ve called it quits more times than Justin Bieber and Selena Gomez, so it’s hard to believe that they’re truly done. And given the soap genre, is any couple ever truly done? Probably not, but this recent breakup had the characters assert on-screen that there’s no hope for them to reunite. We’ve taken this as sort of a pinky promise through the TV so there’s no way they can go back on their word now! Do you hear us, Daniel and Jennifer?
Dylan and Avery, Y&R
The Too Perfect Couple
Okay. There’s a laundry list of issues we have with Dylan and Avery as characters period, mainly the Mary Sue-like, can never do no wrong portrayal and pimping that everyone does. But outside of that, our biggest issue with Dylan and Avery is that they’re boring. For us, there’s no root-for qualities. Their love is perfect. They’ll probably have perfect, pretty babies. But they’re boring. Even their ‘drama’ is boring – first it was Avery’s online troll for her cooking show, and now Avery’s helping Dylan fight off developers who want to revamp the warehouse district, a group represented by her ex-husband Joe. While Joe could have been the lightning rod to spark something of interest, instead, Dylan and Avery set forth with a self-righteous rage towards Joe for daring to exist and feel some kind of way about their relationship. Let’s get one thing straight, Joe may not have paid the attention he should have to Avery, but he is the wronged party in all of this. She chose to have an affair, she broke their marriage vows, not Joe. Dylan’s rage towards the man whose wife he stole is misplaced and further underscores our issues with the character.
Instead of trying to portray them as the perfect couple who mean well, let there be some messiness. Do something to throw some red paint on the beige walls of their relationship, so we don’t have to suffer through more boring foreplay about what Avery will cook for Dylan.
That Hallowedding was the best!
Not super couple. They are one of our Best Couples of 2014 and we explain why. Don’t pretend you didn’t love Hallowedding;)
I totally agree they are still a great couple and are being tested right now. . I hope they will prevail and be happy again.
Carly and Franco were on their super couple list. LMAO.
First of all, thank you for taking time to read and reply to my comment. I apologize if you felt I was speaking for you or anyone else, that was not my intention.
You’re right, the article in this magazine states an opinion and gives us a series of valid points to support that opinion. I don’t think it was never meant to the tell the audience how to think, that’s the audience’s job regarding any and every article you may encounter.
I must rephrase what I said about the audience agreeing on #NuWilson. Instead I’d like to say that a majority in the audience seems to agree, and I base this particular opinion on the many comments on #Days’ own Facebook page, stating their disappointment on the couple this last year.
About Chandler being fired, well, as he was dismissed from his job or discharged from it, and that’s the very definition of firing somebody in the dictionary, I don’t think I was being inaccurate. Sure he would probably have not renewed his contract, I guess now we’ll never know if or when that had happened.
Again, I apologize for any offense you may have felt because of my comment, and I wish you a very happy new year.
I hold a different opinion of WilSon; I think they are still one of the best couples on Days. The WilSon wedding was spectacular and didn’t sound hollow to me. Being supporting players in Nick’s death and Gabi leaving was fine with me. I didn’t expect them to have a whole separate story during that time. However, I felt there wasn’t any story for WilSon after that. It was all Will being a supporting character in the story for Ejami’s exit and it was horribly written. That was only a reflection of Will and not of Wilson, in my opinion. The WilSon and Paul story has been fabulous so far and something many fans have been waiting for. But having to wait for WilSon again on Days made no bad feelings from me for them as a couple. I wouldn’t call them the best couple of 2014, but I certainly don’t see them as one of the worst… a category reserved for Dannifer and Jaige.
As far as Guy Wilson playing the part of Will Horton, I immediately saw improvement in the intimate scenes. As far as every day scenes, I’ve been seeing improvement in his acting especially with facial expressions. And he doesn’t forget his lines like Chandler often did.
Chandler wasn’t fired. He wasn’t renewing his contract and they let him go early so that they could do flashbacks of the wedding at a later date. The audience and media do not agree on the recasting of Will and how it’s affected WilSon. The audience and media do not agree on WilSon’s wedding. There are some for and some against the recasting and the wedding. Please do not speak for everyone. This article was meant as an opinion. It is not intended to tell the audience what is fact and how to think.
They should have added Brik to that list!
How could you guys add Dylan with a woman on this list he is the son of one of two original Y&R cast members Nikki and Paul?!?!
Nei and Hilary were the worst couple of 2014! Michael & Kikki the most boring. Silas & Nina never really were a couple. WilSon did not belong on the list!
Audience and media agree on #NuWilson. That’s exactly how fans felt about the wedding, robbed of what should’ve been a truly historic moment. Sad to see what once was a powerful and beloved couple, turn into such a failure. On the business standpoint I can’t agree though. First they fire a 3 Daytime Emmy winner, who’s admired and loved by the audience, almost 4 months earlier; and only 2 months and a half after that we have the wedding. It’s like a ‘Chronicle of a failure foretold’.
Just add Carly and Franco…this list was very accurate…great job
Are there more on the list? I think you guys forgot Carly & Franco, or maybe it missed it. At any rate, Cranco were just AWFUL! and I really can’t like the character Carly ever again because she actually got together with that man and thought it was okay to subject her children to him.
