DAYS: Weekly Discussion...; Week of May 12!

Today's episode was a good one. I didn't know the EJ/Sami talk was happening today so I was surprised and pleased. I thought it was handled reasonably well, but a lot of people still won't be happy, I'm sure. At least it was finally brought out into the open between the two characters, which was needed a long time ago. Hopefully, the story can now move on in some defined direction.

TB did an amazing job today. I'm surprised Martino is gone already and have to wonder what purpose he served, except to show Ava in a more favorable light.

I ffd Stax, as usual, but had to wonder why they were making out on a dirty, public dock. Gross.

I'm still loving Nicole.. It was sad seeing her vulnerable side when alone at the gym, just her and her flask. Have to say, though....John needs to install a better security system at the Mansion. People are constantly barging in uninvited. No wonder the disc was stolen.

The Stax scenes today :puke:

Then Max basically lying to Stephanie again about the Nick grant and the paper he took out of his notebook. You know she is going to find out and then there will be trouble in Stax land..

The whole story in the pub today was good, how Ava found out it was her daddy who was having her drugged and then the revelation that he had his wife killed and Ava knew about it afterwards, that was great also.

At least there weren't any Daniel/Chelsea scenes today. :D

I was pleased with today's show. And even though I am not a Ejami fan, I was quite satisfied with their conversation today.

I enjoyed the Pub scenes... Ava is starting to grow on me.

Stax... I am not even gonna comment on them anymore, because well... there are only so many ways that I can describe the level of nastyness lol.

So todays show :thumbsup:

That would be cruel and unuasual punishment to have Stax AND Daniel/Chelsea in one day. LMAO :P

I actually liked Stax today -- and let's face it, it's in large part due to Stephanie's being hot.

Dena REALLY raised the bar with the EJami conversation today. INCREDIBLE drama! Truly, something I haven't seen on this show in years! What a frank, honest, vulnerable conversation. EJ and Sami forever!

And again, Dena, BRILLIANT work by making Rolf this family-man type who gives Sami love-life advice! It's such a juxtaposition to his mad scientist routine that it's funny and it actually WORKS!

Ava better get off. Can't the Salem PD she's better now?

Really shocked that Angelo threw his uncle under the bus like that.

One problem, though: EJ, STOP lying. Something did "happen." Sex is NOT the only thing that counts, you... MAN! You are lying to Sami.

Hear, hear!

Higley's 'plan to save 'Days'' will be the one that actually sticks!

If you're out there, Higs, we love ya, girlfriend! :wub:

Did anyone happen to notice who the script writer was (for Thursday)? I totally forgot to look but agree that the EJ/Sami talk was very well done. To me they covered what needed to be covered - and it felt true to character (both characters). I seriously wish they'd had this conversation sooner. Much sooner.

Kudos to Higley, Gialanella and the script writer for a job well done!! :hail:

I believe John Newman wrote the script for Thursday's show. He did do a great job.

John Newman did a great job today.

I thought the Sami/EJ conversation was good. It satisfied me, personally, but I know it won't satisfy everyone and that's fine. I honestly don't think everyone would've been satisfied no matter what approach they took so it's better then nothing IMO. JS and AS did a wonderful job and I enjoyed the rest of their scenes too.

I am also enjoying Rolf and how they've reinvented him while reminding us of his history. Loved when Sami called him a creepy. Sami/Rolf is fun and I also enjoyed the Nicole/EJ scenes and the stuff with Nicole at the mansion. I loved seeing her vulnerable side at the gym and her turning to her flask for comfort.

The Pub scenes were good and Tamara rocked today. I always believed Ava's mom factored into this somehow and I liked the reveal. Joe Penny was good too and kudos to Days on making sense of the shooting happening in the Pub. As I said in another thread, yesterday they had Hope come in from the back so it would make sense she would make sure people cleared out and it was night so the Pub usually dies out anyway and with the cops there it makes sense. Liked Angelo's role today (shocked he turned on Martino) and am I the only one who likes him? I can see him sticking around. Maybe he and Ava will run the Vitali's or maybe they can toss him in Kate's direction. Nice seeing Roman too and Bo and Hope in action.

Steve and Kayla didn't do much but move the story toward the good stuff tomorrow but MBE and SN both did good jobs.

Great show though. This week is really building up to a great finish.

Today's episode was really great. I really liked the EJ and Sami scenes. They were just nearly perfect. Now we can go forward. Yeah!!!

Tamara Braun was great but all those pub scenes were awkward. Didn't feel right. Days needs to stop with the stunt casting.

Shelley looked amazing today. She is much better looking with the darker hair instead of that highlighted look she had going a couple weeks ago. But Stephanie and Max are boring.

I hope TPTB wake up and put Stephanie and Phillip together.

Poor Kayla!!! She should have listened to Steve and Lexie. She kept pushing and pushing herself, it is no wonder the baby is coming early. She should have taken it easy, especially at her age you have to be careful!

^Thanks for posting that, Kenny.

That was hilarious :lol:.

I love him watching Oprah at the same time and being fascinated by a gun being aimed at Steve :lol:.

I can't believe how shitty NBC comes in at NBC. That girl in the background said something about the east coast feed on ch. 58 being better but still. That's ridiculous but that's NBC for you :lol:.

Thank you, Mason! He wrote another episode where I thought the dialogue was good - I don't remember which one but it surprised me since I knew nothing about him. He seems to be off to a good start! :sweet:

I haven't seen the entire episode yet, but I thought the Sami-EJ scene that I did see was ok, not completely accurate, but better than I expected. I do believe that EJ is as sorry as he can be, but still doesn't fully realize how the whole incident and his treatment of her for several months afterward impacted Sami. Also,there was the fact that Sami called Lucas her husband when at that time he was not. So, for me, a few picky things, but overall from what I have seen so far, they are handling it better than I thought they would. I still am not an EJami fan and probably never will be, but it is better now. I also don't believe EJ is completely changed.

Still no to Stax, but at least we didn't have Daniel and Chelsea in the same episode. Although if we did, I probably would have had time to watch the whole episode as I would have had to FF more! :lol:
