Nothing says romance like hooking up with some other guy at your engagement party!
Ha, it occurs to me that reading the title of my blog might make the less informed think that I was actually engaged in the happenings on Days of Our Lives right now. Rest assured, though, nothing could be further from the truth. I just decided to check in with my obligatory Dan/Chloe blog before they hit the sheets tomorrow. I would spoiler that but I think everyone knows it’s coming, what with them making out at her engagement party the other day. Someone not watching might think this wasn’t a big deal, but seeing as her engagement party is to celebrate her future marriage to Lucas, well, it’s not the classiest thing I’ve ever seen happen on Days. Not that that bar is very high.
One kiss and off comes the shirt!
I thought I would examine the evolution of Danloe and let you see why I don’t like it but at the same time I can’t ignore it because it is the most riveting thing on the show right now. First, one must know the “love story” that is Lucas/Chloe. See, Chloe came back from Austria minus her husband, Brady. Initially nobody knew where he was but then it turned out that his grandfather had him kidnapped and thrown into rehab for his drug addiction. For some reason everyone in town blamed Chloe for his drug addiction even though he is a grown man, but whatever. Chloe was lonely and one day she popped over to talk to Lucas and ask him be her friend. He was busy being angry about EJami sex and his sharing the DiMera quarters (for some inexplicable reason) and he agreed. Even though he was on house arrest, he got some special tool and broke out of his leg monitor and went to the docks where he saw Chloe crying. So he called her to make her feel better. It was quite special as I’m sure you can imagine. Then he called her another day and decided to break out of DiMansion and go to the hotel she was staying in. She met him in the elevator, there was a power outage, she hyperventilated and he screwed her to shut her up. It was quite romantic as you can no doubt tell. They’ve been a couple ever since and supposedly love one another despite the fact that she didn’t want to be a mother to his child and that they don’t seem to have anything in common at all.
What do you mean inappropriate? I don't know the meaning of that word!
Enter Daniel! I’ve chronicled the story of Dr. Dan in many a blog (way too many) so I won’t rehash it all here. Suffice it to say that he has a jones for any sick chick in town and he was romancing a girl (I emphasize the word girl here) half his age after he screwed her grandmother. It was also quite romantic. Then the girl got mad that he sexed up her granny and dumped him, which was a relief to most of the viewership of Days. Then he got with grandma, probably because she was ill with cancer and nothing could be hotter to him. Then he found out Chloe once had cancer herself and immediately got interested in her. It was like a light turned on, I’ve never seen anything like it. Anyway, he started fantasizing about her and she about him and then Grandma dumped him. Dan and Chloe have had a couple meaningful gazes and tense discussions and of course the infamous exam room breast grope (SO HOT!) and then we got the hot and heavy make out at her engagement party. Higley, romance is thy middle name!
I'm confused? Which niece am I hooking up with this week?
So, here’s how it all went down. Kate bought Chloe a special dress to wear for the big party. When I say big party, I mean big. The majority of the party was Lucas, Kate, Chloe, Dan, Chelsea, Stephanie and Max. Victor showed up to rain on the parade and Nicole and EJ stopped in. Quite the shindig, 10 whole people! Chloe went upstairs to change and Dan followed her up there to have a confrontation about how she shouldn’t be going through this charade with Lucas anymore and how she wanted him above and beyond everything. That apparently made her hot and they started going at it. Lucas came upstairs after about an hour to find out where Chloe was and hilariously was talking to her through the door asking her what she was doing and what was taking so long. Poor, clueless Lucas. He really should just chuck it all and go gay at this point because the woman thing is just not working out for him. I would give you more detail on the action but that would require more attention than I pay this show these days.
Tomorrow Chloe goes over to Dan’s to tell him she can’t be with him anymore, which inevitably leads to them having sex all over his apartment. Naturally. And, unbelievably, they get their own musical montage. What is there to show? Breast grope and engagement make out? And of course him carrying her on the docks after she sprained an ankle. Really quite a lot of history to mine from there. The sad thing is that I could have actually approved of this pairing were it not for the breast grope in the exam room. That turned me off right there and pretty much lost me forever. They actually have chemistry, they’re attractive together and they make more sense than Lucas/Chloe and Dan/Chelsea ever could or did. But you don’t start a potential relationship by having a guy sexually harass his patient. Her finding that hot is just disturbing and I can’t support it, I really can’t.
Why is Higley turning me into such a ho? What have I ever done to her?
Even sadder than all that is the fact that they are by far the most interesting pairing on the canvas right now. EJ/Nicole is all about her babyrabies and his unfortunate hair and cluelessness to her baby deception. Philip/Stephanie are all about Melanie and boringness. Chex is just too stupid for words and a return to UncleFucking which worked so well with Stax. Sami/Rafe is actually a whole new level of boring that I don’t even have words for; I think I slip into a coma every time they’re on screen. So Dan/Chloe really are it as far as new pairings go. It’s just unfortunate that Higley went the way she did with them. I could understand her cheating on Lucas (who wouldn’t?) but her falling for a guy that groped her in an exam room just drives me insane. Kudos to Higley for ruining yet another potential pairing, at this point she’ll have nothing left to do but have blood relatives hook up. You know it’s her next step! Viva la romance!
Day's worst crime by far, ruining the hotness that is EJ with this hair.
Oh.My.God. I have heard people bitch about EJ’s hair. I had no idea. Really, this is quite scary.
Meanwhile Danloe is something I was irritated by from the getgo. IMO, Dan’s involvement with Chelsea was horrific and very difficult to bring him back from. They used Kate to end Chan which we can all appreciate, but from that point on, it was either Date or nothing. You don’t have him go from girl patient to woman patient to another woman patient with these extreme encounters. Of course, anotehr problem is I can’t get into SC’s acting that much. I feel he’s limited and LK was talented enough (as well as mature enough) to help with that. Nadia is no where near able to pull this off. It’s awful.
But Erotica Examina was the stupidest idea ever. Dueling elevator sex was pornistic enough, but having a woman be hot for the doctor who feels her up in an exam is offensive and turned off the few fans who thought Danloe was a good idea to begin with.
I hate this show. I need to make a t shirt with that on it.
Oh, and I can’t believe I did a comment without expressing my hatred for Max! So let me add, I HATE MAX!!
*Honestly, I’m really a delightful person in RL*
Hee, I knew the Max picture would get you going but that face just cracked me up so I had to include it!
Yes, the character of Dan has pretty much been effectively ruined for all time. I could have dealt with Danloe without breast grope, since Kate was the one to end their relationship, even tho that seemed random as all hell. But the breast grope has ruined them forever.
EJ’s hair is a travesty. There are no words for it really. Whomever is responsible needs to be fired immediately. And if it’s him, he needs to be tied down (I’ll do it!) to a chair and forcibly fixed. Period.
I just wanted to comment on Days. I couldn’t believe I’ll live to see the day when Days became unwatchable but it is. This is a lot coming from someone who is entertained by educational and or historical documentaries. I really commend you all who watch it for your commitment.
I may or may not be exaggerating but seriously it is hard to watch.
“EJ’s hair is a travesty.” 😀 lol XD
It really and truly is. I don’t think I’d be watching at all if I weren’t at home all day. There is nothing on that I even like anymore. It’s pathetic! But I stick it out til the better end since it’s been in my life so long. How can they ruin the Pretty tho? It’s the one thing they have going for them!
Dena “Romance” Higley, indeed! Who among us can honestly say that we haven’t been lit on FIRE by our doctors examining us? I know that I, personally, never find anything hotter.
And isn’t it sad that they are, in fact, the most interesting story on the show? I still adore EJole thanks to the chemistry and the acting but their story is *cough* a tad slow and predictable, no? And, as we’ve discussed, the HAIR OH MY HEAVENS THE HAIR. Get the scissors! Get a razor! I can’t stand this “look.” Gah!
Yes, I don’t feel complete without a good groping. It’s part of my medical plan! No silly little HMO for this chick!
They are…it’s awful that anything involving Dan is the best thing this show has going. And Chloe for that matter. If I had to pick out two of the worst actors, they would be on my list. Sigh. But everything else sucks so hardcore that they’re interesting by comparison. EJole still manages some good moments but they’re couched in tears and stupidity so it’s hard to enjoy!
We might have to make an emergency trip to LA to fix the hair. I bet JS would be rather surprised to have us attack him only to cut his hair, I’m sure he’d be expecting more!
Well, look, if he wants more I’m up to the task. But I insist that the haircut come first.
Watching today’s show (sort of): why are Philip and Stephanie SO BORING??? How is it possible that I have lost all my Philip love?
I don’t know why they are so boring but they certainly are. Philip needs to start doing something underhanded, it’s like they turned him into Max. And one Max is one too many! Not cool.
The haircut must come before anything else, none of us could get over that hair to do anymore!
Why didn’t I look at your captions first? ROFL! The first three in particular are tremendous: “inappropriate? Moi?” LOL! Oh, Dan the Man, you really know how to treat a lady!
I hear tomorrow’s sexathon is quite . . . graphic. Sadly, I’m sort fo looking forward to it! I mean, at least I won’t be bored! It’s my new rallying cry for DOOL.
I saw it…I don’t think I’ve ever seen such a long love scene on this show…at least not in years. I fail to understand why EJ or Philip were not given this honor, prehair issues. AND wait til you hear the song! It might be the gayest song I’ve ever heard! HAHA I can’t believe that guy had his employee posting about it on the forums…it’s hilarious!
Hee, I had a blast with the captions! And the photos, there were quite a few to choose from.
My question re: the sexathon: will it involve a levitating bed? Because that’s the height of adultry in Salem right there.
Sadly, EJ was the only watchable (though on mute) thing about this show. Now, with the haircut of doom, I feel like Corday is just daring us to watch it.
Ha ha I just watched tomorrow’s sex scenes! Hee hee, the song, the SONG!!!! And the soft focus lighting and camera work! The fire burning, the candle lit! And I didn’t notice Chloe exactly struggling with this monumental decision either. Unlike what I would have done, she did not burst out laughing hysterically at the “you came to feel my touch” line, but instead essentially just agreed and started strippin’. Except for her bra and engagement ring! Seemed pretty mutual to me.
EJ and Nicole did get a pre-major hair issues love scene but sadly it wasn’t nearly as long. On the other hand, at least we saw a lot more of EJ, who was down to boxers.
And speaking of EJ, tomorrow I thought his hair looked better. It helps to have the bangs brushed to the side.
OMG you crack me up Nole. I saw yesterdays show too and my first thought was that I was watching a porn movie. I actually was laughing out loud at that cheesy whore house music too. How long before Chloe finds out that she is pregnant and we get a who’s the daddy storyline?
Oh and Shawn Chrisitian’s ‘sexy” voice is so pathetic! Add that too the sleezy character and the fact that he couldn’t act his way out of a box and it all adds up to time for him to get the hell out of Salem.
Nadia’s “acting” cracks me up too. She has two looks – ready to cry and full on deer in the headlights look. Victor had it right – all she has going for her is pretty with big bazooms!
Oh and I forgot to add that they are totally gross when they kiss. It looks like they are in a contest to see who can eat the others face off first. It is FUGLY!
Brandi, no levitating bed…no bed at all actually. I think they’re on the couch. Watch for a hilarious “thinker” like pose when he closes the door after Kate’s visit. I was dying!
Paxton, I KNOW! THE SONG!!!! That is the cheesiest thing I’ve ever heard. I was watching online with Tripp and I was just copying the words to the song (through teary laughing eyes) throughout the scene. I must get that on my Ipod. hehe You mean the “You came to feel my touch” line would not instantly make you turn to jelly? Where’s your romantic streak woman? The cheese!
Seriously I do think that is the longest love scene I’ve seen on this show. Maybe elevator sex was on par but this seemed longer. Perhaps because nekkid EJ was not involved though, I readily admit that I wasn’t looking at a clock during his love scenes like I might have been during Dan’s!
Mosaic, hehe I’m glad you embraced the cheese as well. Hysterical really, I’m sure they didn’t mean for it to look that way…where’s Ed Scott when you need him? haha
NOOOOO, no WTD with Chloe! No more babies! I didn’t even think about that! NO NO NO. Now I will live in fear that Higley will bring more in. Seriously how long is it til Melanie’s faking a pregnancy to try to trap Philip or make him feel bad for her? Oh this is terrible. Days could actually get worse without much trying by Higley.
Yes, pairing NB and SC together certainly isn’t going to make fans think they’re watching an acting clinic is it? Sexy voice doesn’t work for me either but that could be my aversion to Dan’s “magic” hands more than anything else. Love your two Nadia looks, that’s pretty much dead on!
Face eating? HEHE I will check that out today, maybe SC has gone to the Drake school of acting.
I hope ya’ll come by later to laugh at today’s scenes. I’m actually looking forward to watching the show live for a revisit to that fabulous song! hehe
This is the first time I feel sorry for reading your blog. You shouldn’t have posted that picture of EJ, you really shouldn’t have. I didn’t need to see that. One badly acted GAH please.
Awww, I’m sorry. At least he’s fixable unlike the rest of the mess the show is! Just a hair wash here and a little snip there and all will be right with the world again. I had to use it to demonstrate just how wrong this show is in every single way! When you don’t have the Pretty, what do you have?
Dena Higley. That’s all we have when we don’t have the Pretty.
Too true. God I hate her. Well we have her and porntastic Chloe/Daniel. Yay! Yeah, not so much.
See, now you’re making me want to go and watch this scene just for a good – and apparently lengthy – laugh.
And yes, that hair is so, so bad.
Oh it is! There’s even a montage on youtube set to music that sounds like Enya meets Madonna. Hysterical, even cheesier than the cheese we were treated to yesterday!
