I finally liked Sami better today. She does so much better with Jarlena. Loved John/Sami comparing stories how they broke into the house,lol. Loved how they knew they wouldn't talk her out of searching so they just offered to help. and I love all all 3 of them realized it was Susan right before they showed her. If it was more like this, I might enjoy it more, but I don't need to see Sami arrested 10 million times or interact with everyone.

I really really hope Will doesn't think he's EJ and that this is a rumor. I liked both characters but no, that's awkward considering Sami. I'm fine with Will having memory issues but not this way.

I really hope that was Will at the end and we're on to the "real" Will.

I liked the Justin/Paul scenes. It's interesting that Justin is such a PaulSon fan but I guess it does make sense.

I'm not crazy about Adrienne. She literally went from Lucas to Justin and still feels like she wanted both until maybe the end.

I liked Eve. I liked her with attitude at the K-mansion and totally felt for her in her hope that Paige was still alive. I did see a look or smirk too with JJ/Eve interacting.

I think Sami has the same problem Brady has- much better with John and Marlena and sometimes Eric.

Oh good Lord. If BrainwashedWill thinks he's EJ, I hope they didn't implant EJ' s memories. That could get a little icky considering Sami is his mother. What a monkey's paw that could be for AS though!
I was thinking this, also. It would be beyond icky.
I'm thinking he came back without his memories and they convinced him he is EJ. I don't think he has EJ's memories.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
I suppose I'm jumping to conclusions about Chandler. I'll have to wait and see what he does with Will's "real" return. lol

I've stayed with this show through some really stupid shit, and rewriting Will and/or Eve's history won't drive me away. ;) :D
I think Will's history needs to be rewritten, he was turned into a unrecognizable character, just to bring Sonny and Paul together. so if they erase that history and bring back the old Will every new and loved. I'd be ok with that, Will has always scared to turn into his mother so watching him do so was to me completely out of character. IMO
It's not being written this way to bring Sonny and Paul together.
Even if they were to end up together, it would only be for short term.
There is far more characters and detail involved for something that simple.
IMHO that only a small part of a much large portrait


Maybe that's just stating the obvious....but the show even now does not just consist of

Sami, Lucas, Will, Paul, Sonny....even though it SEEMS they are currently being prominently featured

i thought todays epi was pretty great. I LOVED the ending with lucas seeing will and susan banks coming out of the closet after Jarlena said, "susan banks." I loved the epi opened with Sami seeing EJs initials on the wall. I also loved the lucas and Adrienne part and thought it was done very well. I can see that happening for any couple, breaking a bond that was already built on a resilience of timing but not necessarily real foundation. All of it was pretty damn good if you ask me. (and Sami was wonderful like always!)

I'm sick of watching Victor and Maggie sitting in that living room.

Drunk Lucas sucks. Ron isn't subtle at all with portraying his drinking. BD isn't subtle either. He sucks too.

I like Adrienne. I like Justin. But if Ron doesn't address his cheating I'll have issues with them reuniting. It's going to be a rush job anyway which is too bad. Ron disregards some potential good relationship and family drama. He did it with C/A, S/K and now with J/A. It sucks because that's what I love most about soaps.

I hate EJ so this Sami stuff has been made even worse.

Sami's crying over EJ and Will and I feel nothing.

Marlena's yellow leather is distracting.

JJ, Lani and Abe was set up for JJs upcoming SL and I hate how heavy handed it felt.

Why is Val stuck with Abe?

I liked Eve but I'm afraid she's going to eat up the show similar to how Sami does.

I also laughed at Susan's entrance.

Ron continues to disappoint though. The show is still boring.
I just read this and LOL'd about Lucas and Bryan. It's the truth. I love Bryan, but knowing who can really act in a cast will help you fashion stories. Bryan is good in a romance or just day to day life, but as a drunk Lucas he's plain terrible. Bryan is a nice guy but for Christ's sake top this, please.

I was thrilled to see Susan and see Eve jet all over Salem. I am getting stir crazy waiting for Will to be exposed. If he turns out to think he is EJ this story will be a dud IMO. They could just have made him brainwashed. This show doesn't know how to let certain characters stay dead. If EJ is dead then let his name stop being mentioned by every one.
Oh I do think he is brainwashed to think he's EJ and Susan likely hired Rolf to do it. It's apparent now that Rolf was likely working for Susan. Did you mean you would have hoped that there was absolutely no connection to Ej in any of this? He could have been brainwashed to forget who he was or his memories would have been erased....but him thinking he's Ej is sort of hilariously funny, IMHO...Sami wanted Ej to be alive and she'll get him in the form of her kid, lmfao....

You know I was kidding the other day when I said we'll know if Will is reintroduced with a British accept and excessively blinking....I had no clue that is likely what will happen....oh my
Yeah I would find it hilarious if Will thinks he's EJ. There you go Sami, you get your wish, sorta. LOL. It would be great if they had him do a British accent. :blulaugh:

I liked a few things, but was bored overall.

I had to laugh at the "redress" of Lucas' hotel room. They literally just changed the wallpaper on one wall and left the rest the same. The funny part is the two wallpaper patterns don't match or compliment each other at all. LOL.

Like others, I'm over drunk Lucas. The breakup was a long time coming, but I think I'm past the point of caring.

I'm hesitantly looking forward to the upcoming JJ story, but the setup today was really heavy-handed. If the story goes where I think it might, that kind of heavy-handedness is going to wreck it for me. The issues that story may deal with require subtly.

Kassie is a good actress, but I still don't think Eve is needed right now. The Deimos backstory sucks.

The Will story continues to frustrate me, and I'm not that wild about OTT characters like Susan. But her entrance was definitely amusing. I'll give them that. LOL.

I tried, but Sami blubbering about her rapist love of her life killed it for me. I'll have to watch the KDP and Carver scenes separately.

lol if all Sonny has is a concussion, he wouldn't have to stay in the hospital for a day or two.

JJ's suspension was not fair? Lol, yes it was. Provoked or not, he shouldn't have even been in there to begin with.

What JJ said about Lani was nice if I actually believed they were ~~in love~~.

Yeah, I think they're totally going to have Will believe he's EJ or something.

Paul says Sami deserves answers about Will
Yet when he sees Will, he keeps his mouth shut and does not tell.
HYPOCRITE
He wants one answer: DEAD. Everyone else wants a different answer.

He is worried about losing Sonny if Will is alive. Does not care that Arianna would get her daddy Will back and Sami and Lucas would get their son back. Paul is being selfish imo.
Didn't Paul at one point say he hopes Will is alive simply for his loved ones sake, but he also doesn't want it to be true because it'll mean he loses Sonny?

Tbh part of me wouldn't really want Will alive either if I were in his shoes.

After seeing the scene with Will yesterday, I think Lucas is convinced he's seeing things again and does not believe it's really Will.

I liked that Lucas was the first one to see Will, but wont believe it because he's drunk....again.

KDP is a good actress, but I was expecting something more from her about thinking Paige may be alive. I'm not sure what, but something. Please don't put Eve back in JJ's orbit!

I'm still bitter/pissed that Eric never gave a thought about Serena being alive after hearing the news about Will. That was wrong.

So Will is alive and working as bartender? So I'm assuming he doesn't remember his former life.

I wish they’d put “Memphis” at the bottom of the screen at the start of the episode when the scene changes from Salem to the gang down there. Especially since they’re the same sets as established places in Salem.

They got the vet brush off.

Sami turning it about E.J. is normal for her. Poor Will probably thinks his name is E.J.

I should have know A.S. probably agreed to return just so she could push the E.J. stuff, ugh.
I always thought she preferred Lumi to Ejami?

Once upon a time she did, but Ali sat on the fence the minute she started to have competing fan bases... she hinted that she was pissed that Ejami never got to have a proper payoff type wedding like Lumi's Green Wedding or even Safe got in the woods...Plus, when she returned for the Will death story, she was so pissed with the show killing Will off that she told the show that she wanted this side story with Sami searching for Ej if she returned for the Will funeral, and she got it. The way they wrote it made her character look like absolute shit, but she didn't seem to care it seemed. In that interview she said that at least Lumi fans have their memories to live with, or something to that effect, but the others did not. I know others here know the exact quote....but it felt like she was saying that the Ejami fans got screwed over and they were her most vocal fan base and they deserved more than what they got....so she would give them this nugget if she returned for the Will death story. I blame her personally for championing for the show to write that in....it made Sami look awful...I continue to be convinced that all this Ej crap is not solely the writer....IDK, Ali has always had a lot of influence with the show and I don't expect her influence to have ended when she left.

For the record, I really don't care who she prefers now, but I just wish she didn't influence the show so much based on that preference.
