Man, it's only been 5 days and I'm already tired of Sami. This is going to be a
L O N G couple of months.

It's a soap, so nothing is ever truly believable. Eric & Sami are way older than Brady. Brady should be BFF with his siter Belle with whom he was raised since birth & is only at most a couple of years older than. But the show never seems interested in highlighting the Brady & Belle stuff or the truth about Marlena & John raising them both together as a family.
It's almost as if the show is more invested in connecting Brady to Sami than the are Belle.
Sami was present in Salem for most of her life, she returned from Denver minus Eric. So Sami was actually present thru all of Brady & Belle's life. Eric was not, he left Salem as a child to stay with his grandparents in Denver, her returned briefly as a young adult (max 2yrs) and did not return till around 8yrs later as an adult. Eric was the least present sibling out of all the siblings. He was never around when Brady of Belle were growing up, with the exception of a few years.

SORASing confuses everything, but ultimately Eric and Brady were raised by the same people, and are now close to the same age. I have no problem with them seeing themselves as brothers...especially since little kid Brady seemed to gravitate towards Jensen Ackles' Eric when they shared scenes. Also, I enjoy EM and GV in scenes together so I'm a little more willing to overlook it. EM is really good at family stuff, which is one of a million reasons it's so frustrating that multiple regimes have gone so far out of their way to exclude him from the family he grew up with.

I'd love to see belle and Brady close on camera (and I'm holding out we get some good stuff during her visit). But belle was on that stupid boat while Eric Sami and Brady were shown close on camera. So I have no issue exploring the other sibling dynamics while she's off camera.

I'm still very intrigued by what the Carrie/Belle dynamic would be like. They didn't have much 1 on 1 time in 2005/6 and in 1999, Belle was the smart-mouth Sami defender who was against Carrie. I'm afraid of Carrie/Brady because of EM. :rolleyes: :blulaugh:

She's a lying selfish slut


Truer words have never been spoken

of both Nicole & Sami

Brady as Marlena true son DOESN'T work for me.
You can't erase the Kyle Lowder years of Brady with Marlena

Sure as a little boy, he asked if she would love him forever
(But for the most part the show never played up moments when
Marlena was caring for him & they did that for good reason)
Surely you can see that as the
set up for conflict down the road????

That why I think it would be terrible for Marlena to step in
at this moment. Hopefully she will be gone to Memphis before
that happens.

I do like the dynamics and timing of what is being played out here
There more to this story than meets the eye IMHO

Eric and Brady as true brother, has never worked for me, it the
weakest link in the whole story.

You state we can't erase the Kyle years but you're stating you downplay the child Brady years. It doesn't work like that. We also repeatedly saw Marlena as Brady's mother as a child, in fact living with Marlena and Belle instead of John and Kristen.

The Marlena Brady rough patch was about a year or two and for whatever reason, some people choose to only remember that and not the remaining years of on camera history

I don’t think any of it needs to be erased. Relationships have rough patches. :shrug:

Nope, can't have that. Then relationships could be complicated and people could have mixed emotions about things. That would be way to hard to deal with.

I didn't care for Kyle's Brady I love EM more as an actor but I just wish they would finally do something else with him He's been playing the same sl since he debut in 2008..Marlena is the one who raised him but you can't forget Isabella I just would rather him call her stepmom and Marlena just saying..

The preview is good.

But...Eric the one who slept with his brother's finacee is slugging Brady for calling her just what she is? Suweet. So Mr. Cheater tore up the EJ's Hideaway for Sydney/Nicole/Brady's Canadian hideaway/farmhouse and now he's whining to the brother he screwed over, literally. LOL Eric Brady really puts the X in x-priest. Morals be damned. Yeah Brady has been a jerk but I think Eric is one too. No winners here but the "good" brother is good no more.

So now we know why Sami gets arrested. Typical cyclone Sami. Too bad Rolf is only around a bit. Loved his crazy plots that could make the impossible, possible.

Thank you JCP.

I hope they tear down that ugly farm house set and put John and Marlena's set back.

And good guys fall off their pedestals. I prefer this Eric — flawed characters are so much more interesting.

Brady never should have touched his Brothers girl the first time years ago
Well to be fair she was his grandfathers wife at the time.

I’d laugh if Brady brought up to his brother Eric about how Eric (JA’s Eric) tried to tear his family apart.

The only time characters get to be truly emotionally intimate is in their own homes.

First promo i have liked in years just seeing Ali in it made me so happy happy and DR Rolf brings back so many good memories loved the man. I even liked the Eric and Brady scenes i don't feel sorry for Brady never stand him i think Eric was much better fit for Nicole although it just shows he doesn't care to much about family hook up with the woman that stole his sisters baby.

I would love Jarlena and Stayla to get a set. It doesn't have to be a big living room, a small bedroom will do.
