These writers have fucked Marlena up Royally IMO! She is changing her mind about EVERYTHING now. One minute she likes EJ better the next she is all sarcastic and rude to him. One minute she doubts John the next she thinks he's innocent... one minute she loves him the next she doesn't. I think whoever writes for Marlena is Bi-Polar :unsure:

And I'm sorry but WHY would you discuss your daughters love life... with ANYONE? It's no one's busniess WHO Sami is sleeping with unless Sami wants to tell someone herself.

I'm catching up on some episodes right now (okay, fast forwarding through them) and I just have to wonder... WHY THE HELL IS LUCAS BACK?!

Just when Sami becomes tolerable for the first time in years, here he comes to turn her into a whiny mess again. So annoying.

I am at a complete loss as to what they are going to do with Lucas. I thought when he came back from prison he would be sort of different. "More Empowered" as Bryan stated it. So far we have the same old Lucas - screaming, yelling, verbally abusive. Same facial expressions, same rabid delivery. Why in the heck rest a character for four months and have him deliver the same dialog he has been delivering for the past 15 years? Man o Man - Lucas called Sami a "whore" in front of John and Marlena and barely got a scolding and then we have Sami in the same epi begging him for forgiveness and to take her back. Then we have Marlena telling EJ that Lucas is the love of Sami's life and that they always get back together. Marlena get a clue Lucas is verbally abusive towards Sami and always has been. Why Marlena is Lucas' champion is beyond me - she's a therapist for goodness sakes - she knows how verbal abuse is damaging ...

I have always wondered why Lucas has so many adoring fans. He's always been screaming, arrogant, abusive, controlling--what is there to like? He and Sami worked best when they were working as partners in crime, scheming and manipulating people and situations to their own liking. As a romantic couple, WHY do they want each other? Lucas constantly berates Sami and tries to turn her into someone she isn't and never will be, while Sami puts up with it and cries and whines and grovels. And all their friends and family go along with it for some reason. I can't believe Marlena stood there the other day and heard all the terrible things Lucas said about her daughter and didn't say a word, and now is encouraging them to work things out. I wanted to cheer when John stood up for Sami and told Lucas he couldn't talk to her that way because no one has ever done that before.

I had hoped that Lucas's "rest" was for a purpose, but I don't see any change in the character at all. The screaming started right back up again and the arrogance was in full display when he walked into the Dimera mansion and immediately started ordering Rolf around like he was king of the castle instead of a convict with an ankle monitor. And his threats to take Allie--exactly where does he think he's going to take her and how is he going to take care of her? He has no home, no job, he can't go out to buy her food or clothing or medicine or take her to the doctor or park. Lucas is still a ridiculous little man with a napoleon complex and if Sami wants him she needs intense therapy from a real doctor, not the pod Marlena that we currently have walking around with a dazed, confused expression, sticking needles in everyone that crosses her path.

You know, when Lucas first came on the show, I called him a little chipmunk and didn't like him much but grew to after a few years and really wanted him with Sami because back in the day he didn't judge her (when they were friends) Of, course, when Sami first came on I didn't like her much either - didn't like them trying to break up Austin (Patrick Muldoon) and Carrie. But Sami became one of my favorites in time too. Now, with all the writer changes over the years, Lucas became Austin (Austin Peck) Light and his character was ruined. I really hoped that when he got out of prison, he would be different, but the writers are still writing him the same. No change as of yet. You all know I have never been a Sami/EJ fan but who knows...Right now I just wish Sami would dump them both! Maybe it would help if Bryan made different acting choices - IDK.
Back on the subject of yesterday's show - crap.

I so agree. I liked Lucas for many years as well. When he and Sami finally got around to proclaiming themselves 'soulmates' they were good together. But the constant fighting between them with his not being able to trust her really started to get on my nerves. I had also hoped Lucas was a changed man once he got out of prison. But here we go again! "I can't never forgive you!' 'Oh, please, please forgive me, Lucas!' I know their fans love them as a couple because they fight all the time, then hit the sheets and have wild sex to make up for their fights. In fact, they fuck so hard their bed usually breaks. :lol: That was good for a while, but it's getting so old and boring. Angry sex is great but not all the time. I wish Dena would test Lucas out with a new woman. Sami, well, hurray - hurray,(!) she's back! I don't know how I could stand her much longer as a goodie-two-shoes. Those shoes don't fit our Sami. :P

Nicole and Ava are hilarious together. While I wish they'd focus more on Nicole as a character rather than just a comic relieving prop, the writers give Arianne Zuker some great one liners.

"I line my dog's litter box with you."

"Does anyone even go to Dune anymore?"

:lol:

So we now know the reason why Lucas and Sami are living in the mansion. They needed the apartment sets to give Steve and Kayla a home.

Best line of todays show for me... Nicole about Chloe. "She is all boobs and hair no substance" :lol:

Loved that line! Nicole was definitely the highlight of the day, and I love the way she latched on to Ava and they are immediate best friends.

I'm very close to hating Marlena right now. The writers are destroying her character; such a shame after she was written so beautifully last fall and winter.

I ff'd a lot of today's show so I can't comment on a whole lot. Steve/Kayla/baby Joe are boring me, as are Stephanie/Morgan/Nick/Max.

Oh, great. Not much to look forward to today either. Who stole Marlena and put that clone in her place? Stefano is in a coma! :lol:

I know many here do not like Chloe...but I have loved her for the past two days for making it possible to see Phillip with his shirt off. :lol: Whatever gets him nekkid is fine by me. Thank you chloe Lame!

The highlight was seeing Ava, Nicole and Ej in the pub. I really loved the Ava and Nicole exchanges. Ej looked adorable sandwitched in between the lovely ladies...Always the charmer he is.

The things I did not enjoy were all things Payla and Stax related...nor did I give a crap about Morgan...Just losing that loving feeling all around for those folks.

I hate how Marlena is being written. She is not loyal imo to Jawn and frankly her condescending tone with Ej was cringe worthy. The Rotox talk was a joke...I snickered so much my kid thought I had a nervous tick going on. Marlena is not Pius and it makes me ill when they have her acting that way...

Ava, Nicole and EJ were highly entertaining today. I like the idea of Ava and Nicole being friends.

And of course, floved Phloe today. I think it might have even been better than yesterday. The cuteness and lightness between them - this is the Phloe I love and remember. I hope we see more scenes like this!

Well it's a shame that Tanna didn't get a wedding. Given that tomorrow there is a party for Nick, it seems like the show was willing to do a party scene. Whatever.

Max is getting on my last nerve. I do not feel sorry that this great FAMOUS (lest we forget) race car driver is now humbled to ONLY be a lowly bartender and he's forced to swallow watching his girlfriend and her friends talk about their grades and future and how Nick is gonna be a success. It's not tough to go to college. It's especially not tough when you are some kind of super duper math genius. So don't moan and whine when everyone else bothers to better their life and you are forced to serve out the oh so very temporary time on your community service cause you were dumb enough to bury a corpse TWICE for your niece/girlfriend.

All I can say on the Marlena scenes is that belt was awful.

I did love the Nicole/Ava talk. Nicole especially today had some awesome lines. The Chloe line in particular made me grin (all boobs and hair). I just love her. (Put her with Nick!)

Chelsea's now a crazy stalker bitch.
Chloe's an idiot for blaming her emotions -- and playing guilty -- for screwing Philip. (Remember that conversation where you both agreed to be friends with benefits, stupid bitch?!!)

Way to go, Dena. You've officially turned Marlena back into the idiot she was for years until 2006. I HATED the Marlena/E.J. scenes today. Marlena was channeling Kate there so much, it wasn't even funny. I guess St. Marlena is back. It was nice while it lasted. <_<

The bright spot on today's show (and probably the whole week) was Nicole, Ava, and E.J. LOVED their scenes together. And thank God Steve and Kayla are finally out of the awful hotel room, although I wish they'd gotten their old loft back.

Tired of watching the character of Marlena being destroyed for the EJ/Sami/Lucas (none of whom I can stand) triangle. Stayla bore me, and I have no interest in Daniel (the man can't act) and Chelsea. It seems the only thing people seem to enjoy are the one liners. One liners are okay if there is a good story going on at the same time but I'm not seeing it. Corday should have read and learned from Erica Slezak's take on Dena Higley.

As a fan of John and Marlena, I was actually finding the show enjoyable last fall and this winter. What the hell happened? :o

I also want to go on record and say I like John and Marlena when they are working together. I don't buy that just because he is back suddenly Marlena can't be written as a strong take charge women which she was up until a few weeks ago. It is just plain lazy writing. Someone has decided that all they can think of for Marlena to do is stand around and listen to Ej, Sami, Victor, Daniel and any other character in Salem that needs to voice their feelings to the audience. Why aren't John and Marlena going after that disk themselves? Why was Marlena at home listening to EJ's lament instead of with John at the Station? Why is Marlena even talking to Roman? But she isn't the only one. Is there one compelling story on the show right now? Is there anything to care about at all? Where is the suspense? Where is the drama? B-O-R-I-N-G.

Today's show was just ok. I did like Nicole and Ava and the stuff that Nicole said to Chloe. She has some funny one liners! Without Nicole I think the show would have been very boring today though.

I FF all the Steve/Kayla/Stephanie scenes, the stupid intern meeting at a fucking Pub(can we say budget cuts) scenes, and half of the Marlena/EJ scenes.

Thank God for the Nicole/EJ/Ava scenes and the Phloe scenes with Nicole or I might have just FF through the entire episode. I hope we actually get to see Ava and Nicole go out together looking for men, I know they would be hilarious together. Nicole sure gets all the good liners, tellign Chloe she has celalite(sp?) and could exercise more, saying Chloe is all boobs and hair with no substance, and finding a man with 2 actual eyes. :lol:

Steve and Kayla's new apartment is great. It looks a lot like Austin's old apartment ... the same one that Lucas had later.

I loved Nicole and Ava together. I never expected them to be friends, afterall I don't think Nicole has been so friendly with anyone in Salem. I'm looking forward to seeing more of them!
