They've said it was their last year for ages. Everyone always has a cow, and then they say that next year definitely will be their last. I never watch it, but my stepmom does.
I'd have to agree that Jennifer is famous on her own. Her dad is after all Victor on Days of our Lives, and she never used his status to get anywhere. She was Rachel, long before she met brad, and viewers were obsessed with her long before she met him too. Not that it matters any..just my opinion.
