    I don't blame her for dtaying in Tennessee. With the babies she wouldn't want to give them the coronavirus. I also dont blame her for wanting to spend time with them they grow up to fast

    When she gets enough time with her grand babies she will be back! Wouldn't you want to be around your new grandchildren? Gee, I sure would! Especially during this Covid pandemic! Why miss meeting them! This is what LIFE is all about! Covid is just a stop in the road thing! A new LIFE in this World is the MOST important thing in the WHOLE world for FAMILY! MORE important than money even!

    Don’t blame her for not traveling back and forth right now but Days could have found someone better than ex Dixie (AMC)! Don’t care for her at all!

    Melissa Reeves/Jennifer had her spotlight as Jennifer Deveraux. The writing has not been good for her. She has complained about storylines too. She is not really passionate scenes either they have dressing herself like 90 years old women. She was good in the past. I can't stand Jennifer/Melissa Reeves with her kids especially Abby she is not good parent. I reall hope that Cady Mclain will bring some life into the character and she is fiesty and challenging spirit and passion kisses with Matthew Ashford/Jack see Jack and new Jennifer Deveraux have chemistry together. Melissa Reeves/Jennifer she is too wishy washy character and old granny now. Melissa Reeves/Jennifer just wanted to carry Alice Horton matriarch. They should bring Melissa Reeves/Jennifer before the show comes close to cancel. I don't want Matthew Ashford/Jack Deveraux to lose his job again and just have Melissa Reeves come escort Matthew Ashford/Jack. I want see Jack having his storyline with Steve and Kayla and Adrienne scenes. Melissa Reeves/Jennifer already had her happy ending in 2006 with Matthew Ashford/Jack.

    They keep having her character dress herself like 90 year old women carrying purse and being sacramactious judgemental hypocrite attitude and bossy self-righteous controlling hypocrite being annoying shrew she is not able to do those passionate kisses or love scenes with Jack/Matthew Ashford then she can remain in Tennessee Nashville. She complained about storylines too that should not be air either. She did not want character of Peter Blake either. Melissa Reeves/Jennifer is not innocent victim herself either she had affair with Jason Brooks as ex Peter Blake. Matthew Ashford/Jack Deveraux should be able to work with different actresses and characters besides Melissa Reeves/Jennifer. I don't care if Jennifer is Horton she needs stop playing Miss Perfect attitude getting annoying sometimes.
