that will allow the actors natural chemsitry together to cause a spark between their characters. I am hoping that there will be a period of she and he still disliking each other and fighting because I actually think Jason and Kirsten do a great job fighting onscreen. I'm kind of hoping that they will show Maxie to sort of start to be interested in a relationship with Matt only to discover that he's involved in the fake drug issue. This may keep them apart for awhile, and allow them to build Matt's character during that time.
Then we can see if their relationship will work. I don't disagree that it's not always wise to try to pair former "couples" from another soap together again, but I think the difference here is that time, in terms of years, has passed since Jason and Kirsten have worked together, and their characters on Days were also played by other people. It's been a nice long while since they've been Shawn and Belle together. If I remember correctly it wasn't that long between Days and GH when Steven and MaryBeth were together again. There wasn't much time that had elapsed between them playing Steve/Kayla and starting on GH.
I don't really know about Alexis, but I do remember them on Santa Barabara. I'm not sure how much time passed between them working on SB and GH. It's quite possible that enough time has passed between them working on Days together and now that this could work. I'm not saying it will, I'm just saying that every situation is different. It may work this time. You never know.
Even if it doesn't......Jason and Kirsten working together...regardless of how or when their characters get together....I haven't been excited about watching a soap in I don't know how long. They have given me a reason to enjoy soaps again, and for that I thank them.
