It kind of makes you wonder why he felt like he needed to pimp her acting so much. If EJ is going to be in a rage, he probably wants everyone watching Sami so we'll miss him devouring the set. |

Yes, I couldn't agree more!! Sami is sick, selfish and twisted. If she were a real mother, I'd feel sympathy for her -- but as a character -- she deserves to be hated and miserable. Sami is the world's WORST mother. Will is basically a latchkey kid. . .he even recognizes his own mother is a liar. Her other two kids are non-existent on this show. Eshami is done and over. It boggles the mind to think that anyone would want such a twisted couple together. Sami's a selfish bitch. As far as AS "acting" during all this, I will just have to wait and see. JS' opinions seem to change like the weather so he probably set the bar really low for her. |

Two of the most popular stories in DOOL history (Mickey's breakdown leading to his romance with Maggie & the Bill/Laura saga) were about mental illness. And I don't think ratings tanked in 1991 because of Jennifer's rape story. The couples featured at that time were Frankie/Eve, Bo/Carly, Brian/Melissa, Shane/Kayla and Lawrence/Kimberly. :x |

True, that probably is what he meant, though I'd still feel the same way and completely disagree with him. And didn't he say the exact same thing once about Ari? This is sounding VERY familiar. I'm going to try to find the quote. |

oh and galen's comment about letting EJ beat him LMAO!! I think he could have done it even if Rafe put up a fight, based on his fighting skills in the past! |

Co sign. I have to give them credit for selling the story so well. Hopefully what's written here will play out just as well on the screen. |

Sami deserves to lose all her kids because of the choices she made. Will moves out. She lied to his face too many times. I dont blame him. EJ will probably not let her see Johnny. Ali might be the only one allowed near her. Lucas needs to think twice about that. Sami's life is a trainwreck. She will never change and will always make bad choices.

I can't find comprehensive ratings going that far back. I know that Corday credited Tomlin with coming in and "saving Days" back in the early '80's and one of the stories he pointed to was Jessica's mental illness storyline. Looking at the yearly ratings that are available, I know that Kim's abuse storyline played out in like 1984 or 1985 and the ratings were a 7.1 in 1984-85 and 7.2 in 1985-86. Steve's childhood stuff played out primarily in the spring of 1987 and the ratings that year were a 7.0. So, it doesn't look like those storylines killed the ratings or anything, particularly as Days rose from 7th to 4th in the rankings over that time period. However without the weekly ratings it's almost impossible to know. I have no idea when DJ died, so I can't even look that one up, I'm afraid. Your point is well-taken that perhaps those storylines did not do well in the ratings and that is why his parents told Ken not to tell those kinds of stories. But, I have a lot of respect for Ted and Betty Corday, so I think they knew you could tell those stories if you were committed to telling them well. |

WTF cares about ratings? Clearly the show doesn't.. so why are we beating our heads against the wall over something that is never going to change? |

Wow, as an EJami fan this article has given me the hope I needed to keep watching this show. The whole tone of the article makes me very happy because of all the emotions and drama that will ensue. And can I just say how much I love James Scott? The man doesn't seem to keen on plugging stuff that he doesn't believe so James, from the bottom of my EJami-loving heart....Thank You!!! :hail: :hail: :hail: |

Lucas is an idiot and hypocrite. But in his defense he did tell her many times this would come back to bite her in the ass. He shouldnt have kept this secret for her though. That was really a dumb thing to do. Sami's shit is going to land on him. He could have avoided that. |

EJ isn't exactly a good fighter either. Philip wiped the floor with him. EJ beat up Patrick, and just like Rafe is apparently going to do, Patrick let him. What that's about? |

I'm not arguing this right now, but I think we can all agree, that was a horribly choreographed fight scene.. |

Does anyone else get the feeling they are setting up Nicole/Rafe? Rafe finds out her secret, agrees not to tell if she keeps EJ occupied and away from Sami. |

That wouldn't surprise me ginababe, although honestly I do feel Rafe's interest in Sami will be greatly reduced now that Grace is no longer around. |

I don't get the comments from Corday about the taboo subjects. These things have been addressed on Days for years. I started watching in the late 1960s when I was a child and remember little Dickie Martin, a toddler, being accidentally killed by his father, David, when he was pushing him on a swing. Dickie's mother Susan lost her mind & shot David to death. Mickey got Susan off by reason of insanity. That's how Mickey & Laura first got involved, she was Susan's psychiatrist. I also seem to remember in the 1970s that there were flasbacks of Trish Clayton being abused by her father or step-father when she was young. |

Thanks Ellie..wow..great read..first off..as a EJAMI...I will wait and see how this plays out...and I agree,we have been through worse...as for the ex-FBI guy...EJ beats his fucking ass!!! :rockon: I just wonder if the expression on GG's face will change...I doubt it.As for Nicole...the ONLY way she can be redeemed is to tell the truth and the whole truth.As for Ali's acting,,I think Ali may draw on her own maternal instincts for this,as she herself just gave birth,so I would not knock it till I have seen it..I am sure that Ari,James and ALi will make it all very interesting,and I actually love forward to the scenes with Roman as well.As for Corday,,why do people even listen to this man,he lies like a dog.Great article thanks so much
