Okay. I had to watch without trying to live tweet. It still wasn't good, though.

I felt like Marlena was all over the place today. I do think something got cut before one scene, so maybe that would have helped. IDK. I didn't like John talking about how Sami "misbehaved." I don't mind them telling her to behave, but the conversation sounded like they were talking about Ari, not Sami. And while Sami often acts Ari's age, I still didn't care for that at all. None of their reactions made much sense aside from their final reaction to Sami probably going back to the house.

Adrienne is what I imagine current Abby to grow up to be.

I HATE Eli going to Ari's daddy/daughter day. It's just ridiculous. Also, I can't tell the Udell girls apart, but the one they used today was terrible. She sounded like Roman at one point. It may be time to recast or SORAS.

I'm not enjoying Lucas at all. I did like that he threw out that Sami has been hiding. I did not like that Sami basically told him to drink and then spent a couple of scenes telling him to get himself together. Just awful. Also someone really needs to point out to her that no, she did not have to take her kids with her on her dumbass search. Also, the two of them are standing in a police station screaming at each other, and no one came in? She also might as well have just walked out. No one was watching her, and she could have taken care of the handcuffs elsewhere.

Maybe Will and Susan will save this story. I hope TPTB see whatever they did two weeks ago that killed this story and never do it again. This may be some of the biggest wasted potential they've had in a long time.

Oh, did anyone catch how Lucas even knew Sami was at the police station?

I was wondering about that. I didn't hear anything about how he knew she was there.

Wasn't it in a spoiler she would call him to bail her out?

He didn't know Justin and Adrienne were there, and Marlena didn't tell him because he was trying to tattle to her...

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Well he was willing and enlisted his dad to help him dig up Will's grave behind everyone else's backs. That is Sami tried and true. ^_^
I wish it were Sami tried and true, but she wasn't interested in digging up the grave.
I know Lysie, could have spared all this goose chasing and Sami would be the type who would have! Why Ron went this way not sure.

Another thing that annoyed me in that Lumi fight was Sami saying, "I found a lead." Uh no. She found nothing.

Hmm then I'm stumped. Probably something that got cut. They need to stop doing that bc their editing is not so great. :blink:

I don't know why Gabi and Eli exist. She sucked all the potential out of him.

Exactly. I love the character of Eli but never with Gabi
Makes me wonder what's ahead for Adriana ^ Will

The good news is that I understand why Ron thought he was doing a good thing by centering a lot of the story around Sami. The bad news is that it isn't working and has hurt the story.

I don't think that's been the issue this week. He's writing for Sonny again, too. IMO, the problem was the little break everyone else took for two weeks while it was just her. Now they're all back, but I don't care anymore. I do agree in general that it is a bad idea to center so much of something like this on the actions of a character that isn't a current mainstay, though. I don't think the others are getting the shaft as much this week, but her relationships taking center stage when she's been gone for 3 years and is going to be gone again soon is just not very smart.

I need Lumi reunited. ASAP. This banter back and forth is amazing.
I don't think I'll ever stop hoping that those two idiots find their way back to each other.

I enjoyed the Lumi banter and the short WilSon scene. That was about it. Will's return is the only reason I started watching again, but things are moving way too slow.

I need someone to shake their head with me that I'm actually hoping that Susan saves a story. This is what it's come to.

You nailed it....Nailed it!

What went wrong? The focus went from being about a search for Will, into a mounting tally of how many times Sami Brady Dimera can get arrested. People are rushing around trying to save Sami from herself instead of looking for Will.

It's become about her solely....her reaction, her pathetic attempts at trying to be an adult, and her over-the-top antics.

I'm not against having Sami as part of this story, but Ron went wrong where so many have gone wrong.......It had to be all about Sami. So many besides Sami have a real stake in this.

Before Sami got here it had potential. About three episodes in it deflated because the focus shifted. This isn't even about Will anymore. It's sad because I was enjoying it.

Yeah...it is sad :shame:

I like Susan, and I loved 90's JER, but she can't carry a story. She's a caricature that bought JER time to elongate a major plot line. She's comic relief, and she has her "smart" moments when she screws everyone over.

We are hoping for Susan to save it, and I don't know that she can. Sami can ruin something, we have learned that. It's not Sami really. The way this turned into "All About Sami" just irks me, and that is in the writing.

I can't believe this bore is supposed to be a sweep episode. The search for Will is a whole bunch of dull scenes. And the fact that they're doing this, but still haven't dug up the damn grave, makes it hard for me to take them seriously. I don't know why Gabi and Eli exist. She sucked all the potential out of him.

I'm going to rewatch the Halloween episode, unlike this one, it was entertaining.
Are we still pretending Eli was interesting past his initial debut? He hasn’t done anything since and even the recent stuff with Gabi has been more about his character’s past, which was played more for exposition and has gone nowhere.

He managed to hold on to that “he could have potential” glow until recently. Idk if that’s on Gabi but she sure didn’t help it.
