Not too impressed with just that pic, but I’ll give him a chance.
He should be in Salem…the town needs more Hortons, and in the Horton home! My friend Jim, once pointed out the Horton clock remains at 7:10! Why dont they change it or is it there as a non working clock for decoration only?
Clocks in general are not used in soaps because scenes and shows are often shot out of sequence making it a nightmare to maintain continuity. Also depending on the soap, scenes are often stopped and redone- so someone would have to change the clock to reflect it. It too much hassle. So this clock is meant to be decoration only, and the face of it has been darken to disguise the time.
The way I look at it is this— it is a family heirloom that is broken, but no one wants to throw it away, so it sits there, but doesn’t work.
The problem isn’t the clock, the problem is the show is so dull people are looking at the background to amuse themselves. I am surprise there isn’t a facebook page devoted to figuring out what the mysterious meaning behind the number 7:10 is LOL.
LOL…my friend Jim also has a clock on his own fireplace he uses for decoration only. He also pointed out the couch with pillows in the time square that never gets dirty…also the offices of Hope, Rafe, Marlena and Jen are the same set which was also used as an examining room. Guess we are really bored! Thanks for the reply!
meant town square…
3/6/2015 he is finEE as hell.just sayn he needs to call me
I thought Abigail or Jen said he was just going by Jack now and not JJ. Glad they finally cast him and looking forward to see what they do with him.
I just love this time of year, the sun is shining, the birds are singing, a troubled youth is returning to Salem– all signs that summer will soon be here, along with the inevitable teen story line. Now I can finally pack up my winter gear and get out my flip flops.
Does Abe have any other family members? This is show becoming too boring for me. I’m glad OLTL & AMC are back.
Abe’s half-brother-in-law, Cameron. But I agree, the show is SO boring!!! I just read the recaps now, don’t even watch it.
Cameron is Abe’s brother-in-law. No half. He was Lexie’s half brother, maybe that’s where you’re confused.
He has another son, Brandon, with Nicole’s mother, Fay. And his MIL Celeste. I’d like them to bring Celeste back, but the original one, not the recast they had when Lexie died.
If you are a preteen then this show my be for you. Enough baby’s as much as I live the show. No John McBain
No more Todd. Just new babies
Glad to see him in town, but we ALL know it’ll be another Dannifer story. However, I’m just relieved it ain’t another darned love triangle that ruins a beloved character. Jack died after that awful triangle. Nicole and Chloe were demonized by it. But heck, at least we have a family member who disapproves instead of worshipping The Glorious St. DanTan. Perhaps Lucas can have more airtime. Let him and JJ team up to split up Dannifer! It would make a funny, interesting storyline!
Sounds good to me.
Really not a fan of teen storylines at all and not looking forward to Jen Lilley on the show since she annoyed me with her shrieking voice on GH.
Love it!!
Is he related to Ron Moss from B&B?
I’m enjoying Days. Not enjoying Dan and Jen, since they are uber boring together.
I so agree! I think Melissa Reeves needs to go! We need an actress to play Jen that can bring some fire like the old Jack and Jennifer days!
I like Melissa Reeves, just don’t pair her with Dan. I am a Jack fan and hate that they killed him off.
Dr. Dan is okay too, just not with Melissa. I think she’s too vanilla for him. Nothing wrong with vanilla, but not for Dan. Maybe Dan and Maxine should hook up! She’d give him a run for his money.
They need to recast that snooze fest Jennifer! Melissa Reeves is just unwatchable!! I loved her when she played younger Jennifer but can’t stand the way she is as a middle age Jennifer. I now fast forward every scene she is in! Anyone else feel this way? I can’t wait to see some new blood though!
Casey Moss was born in 2004? So he’s 9 years old? Please! LOL
JJ was born in 2004….the character, not the actor.
The Jennifer & Daniel coupling is boring as all hell. And, JJ’s resentment is not ramping up the storyline. Jennifer should just become a nun, she is always so holier than thou.
Seriously??? JJ was born in 2004…that makes him 9yrs old, yet they’ve cast a dude that’s twice that age??? C’mon!!
