    Talk about being raked over the coals! Now I’ve made it clear Jack Deveraux was never a fav of mine, but the insipid, totally trash job done on this guy is reckless, unfathomable writing on the part of Days. He was many things – some far from admirable – during his tenure, but someone who wouldn’t be there when Jen had heart surgery, someone who doesn’t see his kids, not mentioning the divorce, etc – they’re painting this guy a total moron and loser.
    How on earth did he get here from there?

    What the heck did that letter say??? I missed that part,  i had to go do something then so i’d get back in time to see the Dimera’s crash and burn!  

    a Teeny Tiny part of me felt sorry for Stefano, but NOT A DROP For EJ!  Poor little Johnny.  and does Sami already have Sydney at her apt?  Is Ali home too??

    Hey, how you doing?  Say hi to the kids.

    I wondered where Sidney was too.  They took Johnny home but left Sidney there?  I think Ali is still with Lucas.

    already with Sami? Remember when Rafe picked her up from school which started the whole unraveling of EJ.

     because Caroline had Sydney with her.  That’s why when Sami and Bo and Hope were trying to set their plan into motion, they wanted to get Johnny out of the house.  When Sami called Johnny to say goodnight and found out E.J. wasn’t there she asked to speak to Stefano she said that Ali was missing Johnny and she wanted to come and get him and Stefano flatly refused, so Ali was with Sami…..well, with Caroline…. already.

    How many times did Daniel call Jack "a tool." First of all, I’m not really sure what that means, guess I’m old, but I’m assuming it’s someone who uses women. Isn’t that Daniel? He seems to get around quite a bit. Maybe I’m irritated because I always loved Jack and Jennifer. The writers have messed up Jack’s character. I just hope someone will redeem him soon because I hate the way they are constantly bad-mouthing his character. He and Abby always had a special bond and they are ruining that too. Bad, bad writing.

    And I think Sami told EJ that Sydney was missing Johnny, not  Alli.  She seems to be out of the picture at least for now, which must mean she’s with Lucas.

    I think Daniel’s reference to Jack as a "tool" is like, he’s not the sharpest tool in the tool box.

     I taught high school for 25 yrs before retiring last year…so I heard "tool" used a lot. It is a derogatory term for someone who isn’t very bright. Usually the person is being used –thus the tool part. I’m not sure "tool" is appropriate for Jack, since no one is using him for anything- heck, he’s non-existant! But I suppose it is being used to reference that he’s not smart–"not the sharpest tool in the box/shed". I think ass would apply better. Just sayin’

    thanks for clearing up that term. Still don’t like that Daniel says that about Jack, though. I just wish Daniel would move on. He and Jenn didn’t need to be involved with each other so soon after their break-ups. I can’t stand the jumping from one relationship immediately to another.

     I thought that when someone is called a "tool" it means that the person is mean and rude.

    I think it will turn out that he is being held somewhere and someone else has be answering his texts and tweets.  I’m sure a DeMira will be involved!!

    It’s basically a synonym for A$$hole.
