Roxy would end up getting hurt anyway. She knows very well that Jack doesn't love her and never will. And I can't see him settle with Roxy just because of Amy. So Roxy looses all around.
She is such a fool sometimes.”
That's my problem with Roxy/Jack. It's not Jack's side of it that bothers me, he can do what he likes. But I feel Roxy is showing a real lack of respect for her sister here given she knows that Ronnie did/does love Jack even if she feels she can't be with him. And you know, Ronnie's child with dying...
As for the Danielle situation. I didn't like Danielle, didn't think the actress was very good. The storyline was...OK....but it was mainly the want for Ronnie to find out that kept people engaged whereas IMO the writing was only so - so with some stronger moments - mainly scenes between Ronnie and Archie and I did think some of the Danielle/Archie scenes were well done.
We may never have gotten such a strong moment as Danielle's death. but I do think keeping her alive longer would been better for the storyline. I think it would added different dimensions to Ronnie and the idea it would have been a happy ever after is simply not true.
There still have been major conflict between Ronnie and Archie ,and probably Ronnie/Roxy due to Archie/Danielle. Ronnie would have conflicted with Roxy probably due to Roxy later allowing Archie back. Roxy probably would have conflicted with Ronnie because a part of her may have felt jealous and sidelined now that she wasn't the most important thing in Ronnie's life. There is so much drama and conlifct that could have occurred - more so than the conflict that occurred in actuality - which wasn't really that well done. And it would have been interesting to see Ronnie have a real reason to fight against Archie(Danielle) whilst thinking she did have the upper hand. and that she did 'win' because she got her daughter back. I don't think for a second Archie would have accepted Ronnie/Danielle, and that would have been a much more interesting battle/vendetta than Archie trying to take over the Vic.
I think they could had Danielle die, just at a later date.
