While I believe that Susan is more than capable of having Rolf revive Will and having Will who has no memories convinced that he was EJ, I DON'T believe that she would be THAT evil enough to do it just to get revenge on Sami. She would know what it was like to lose a son and I don't think she would wish that pain on anybody. While she might have been angry at Sami, she wouldn't pull something like this. Especially considering that fact that Will is her grandchildren's older brother and that would be hurting them also. While Susan COULD do it, I don't think she would.

You wanna know who I think is evil enough to actually do something like that? Kristen.
Susan did lock both Marlena and Kristen up so she could marry John. And she was totally okay with Edmure killing her sister and sending Kristen off to be a sex slave for over 15 yrs without saying anything. So, yea. Susan is definitely capable of "evil" and doing whatever she can to help herself & her needs.

Susan has always been a morally shady character, tbh. But we just focus on her ridiculous behavior more often.
This.

Let's not forget that Susan was introduced as the woman who sold her newborn baby (EJ) to Kristen so she could pass it off as hers and John's. And when she developed an infatuation with John, she locked Kristen in the secret room with Marlena so she could have John to herself. Then she basically raped him pretending to be Kristen. More than once. And despite her fondness for Marlena, she kept quiet about her captivity because she knew John loved her and would be with her. Then there's that whole "selling Kristen into sex slavery for 15 years" thing. Susan is no saint, LoL.

Now, is any of this realistic? No. But this is a soap opera and that's her history.
omg I can't believe I forgot the baby stuff. She double-crossed Stefano and Kristen because she wanted to keep the baby, John, and the money she got for selling John Jr/EJ. :lol:

Could Justin and Adrienne's reunion been anymore more underwhelming? Does Ron not know how to do drama, romance, angst? Does Sheri have any input? He rushes thru or ignores important beats in a story. He's done it a few times since taken over and I'm losing any faith I've had in him.

Counting down the days till Sami is gone. If only she'd take obnoxious Lucas with her. BD cannot handle the material he's given.

All this Will stuff should be edge of our seats thrills. Instead its all a boring slog to get thru. The whole ep of Marlena, John and Sami standing in a room with cartoon character Susan.

For 15 years? Have they ever adressed how many years Kristen was there. As far as I remember they were pretty vague in 2013.

Sami is a moron. It's all about EEEEJ. John and Marlena looked like they were hoping Susan would shoot her. LOL
I feel bad for Deidre and Drake. They looked bored out of their skulls standing there most of the time behind Sweeney.

Also, it’s sort of sad to think of all the great stories D&D were involved in over the years and now they’re stuck in this nonsense.

The only scene I truly enjoyed today was Paul seeing Will.

Ron doesn't know how to write, I figured as much.
This is almost worse than Dena. Honestly I don't care
if it's Kristen or Susan they should have left well enough alone.

Take Sami and Will off to the days Catacombs of Paris
and leave them their forever!!!

Loved how John tried both to control and protect Sami. Hope this means that we see Sami and John getting along after this. He really is her true dad!

Paul seeing Will was one of the only good parts today.
Sick of Sami, she has brought this story down, making it all about her and EJ
Sick of drunk Lucas too, enough already

If EJ is being brought up that's on Ron C. He could have revived Will anyway he wanted.
He is choosing to have EJ's mother as the person behind Will's return. He is choosing to use an Elvis lookalike as Susan's companion & show her having a shrine to EJ (Elvis JR).
Ron C is thrusting EJ and his memory right into the middle of Will's return from the dead.
I had hoped that Sami would return and that the storyline would have minimal reference to EJ, but that simply is not going to be possible given the path Ron is writing this return on.
I wonder if they wanted to bring back ED in some capacity and decided to combine a Susan return with a Will and Sami return and to do that you have to bring up Elvis, because otherwise Will coming back wouldn’t naturally have anything to do with Elvis, and especially not Susan. I don’t think Kristen should or would have anything to do with a Will return either. It’s like they wanted to bring back all these characters they think are fan faves and threw them together and had to try to stretch it into something semi-cohesive. I know the story is just starting to unfold but today was just a big wtf for me.

If she doesn’t apologize to him I don’t think I care anymore.

I am happy that Justin and Adrienne reunited - the whole Lucas storyline did not work for me EVER so I am glad that is over - was the reunion rushed? Perhaps, but now they are back together so take the time to figure out how, why and when the marriage got off track in the first place ... I know people will say Justin cheated but at the time I felt like there was more to that answer then we heard.... Just my .02....

It's one thing if they were never really dead, or their death was faked, but reanimating zombie cocktails? That's where daytime is going now?

And forgive me, I'm Canadian, but does one normally hold a rifle above the shoulder and next to the ear? Is that how people gun?

Right. I have never seen any one hold a rifle like that.

And isn't "Days Of Our Lives" at it's very best when it's not totally realistic. I have enjoyed many of the most unrealistic storylines this show has put out there (Purse, Prism, & Pawn, A Tale of Two Romans, Carly Buried Alive, Maison Blanch, Marlena's Possession, Paris & Stefano's Underworld, Kristen/Susan/John & Marlena During "the Secret Room", etc...)

I want and underlying current of characterization, history, and familial ties. That said if you do an off the wall story and still focus on the basics that make the show great.

Susan is a first rate fruit loop of the highest order, but she has never been a dumb ass. Jim Reilly made her strangely smart, sympathetic, but waaaay out there.

It works because Reilly developed a character.......Susan has strong character traits, being an intelligent yet sneaky and vindictive woman.

And the Will story has turned into the EJ story for today's episode. :rolleyes:
Surprised, said no one.

Literally, if I have to hear EJ's name after this resurrection storyline, it will be too soon. Will's initial death was all about EJ to Sami. Now he can't even come back to life without that SOB making an appearance again. Get over it Sami and focus on your son for once. And please, JUST SHUT UP ALREADY.

Do you really think Rolf would kill himself to protect "his boss" Susan Banks? Susan is Kristen.
Yea, I bet Kristen has really been enjoying her days in a dumpy house in Memphis with Roger the Elvis impersonator and young Wilvis... doing their laundry, grocery shopping, making the beds, doing dishes, etc. Just the kind of life she loves.

I could see Kristen wanting to kill Marlena's precious grandson Will.
Who besides Marlena has Kristen tried to actually kill?

Yea, *strangely* smart indeed.. like the day she found the mini tv monitor that showed Marlena screaming at her and she couldn’t figure out to turn the volume up until Marlena instructed her to do so via writing a meassage on a pillow.
