SOW: Rafe's Ex-Love; July 14th issue; Article Summary
Topic Started: Jul 1 2009, 10:45 AM (13,619 Views)

I remember I would call my friend to find out what happened on SB if she stayed home from school and there used to be a phone number you could call in the newspaper and they'll give you an update on your soaps. It was like a automated answering service and they'll go thru the soaps and give you and update. LOL! Yes, I was really into the soap operas a lil too much at that age. LOL!

I was also a Passions fan until Ethan married Gwen then I kind of lost interest but I liked Luis and Fancy so I hanged in there.

Why in the world is Tomlin continuing to shove this nonactor at the audience?

Rafe is duller than Austin Reed. And I don't care one bit about his backstory. Frankly, the stuffed cat on Y&R emotes more than this guy.

ets-thanks Ellie!
Because most of us who are not Ejamis really enjoy them together.
Ejami like it or not is not the only viable or desirable option.. And SAFE have many fans rooting for them and involved and loving their story.. They Love the possibilities, and the relationship makes more sense.
Also.. They must have very devoted fans too.
They have won SOD's favorite couple 7 weeks STRAIGHT..

Now its true that Ejamis dont care for him/them and always find fault and ways to insult.. But that opinion is not Universal, and contrary to many Ejami's belief it may not even be the opinion of the Majority of viewers.
While many sites may have strong numbers favoring EJ, this is truly just a drop in the bucket.. 1000.00's of viewers have never even heard of these online sites.

So no matter how loudly Ejami's online cry Ugghh and No.. and foul.. TPTB must be getting positive feedback too. Thats why you have to endure what you hate.. much like I had to do watching every bizarre forced, make me gag and wanna throw up moment between Ejami, and that Santo/Colleen saga.. Now THAT.. was a sleeper.. and some of the worst acting Ive ever seen from James Scott.

I know they are not all Ejami's .. but they are MOSTLY Ejami's.

And I dont know about spamming as I think it only takes 1 vote per week.
But regardless.. That certainly didnt stop Ejami pride when they won even though they were NOT an actual couple, and Any time a possible spam was mentioned took great offense ...

And if what you say is true.. why are the Ejamis not out there in mass trying to spam it back ?

I dont know I heard it was not spammable, but.. if it is .. take the poll back and show us thats what is happening.

Rafe putting Ej on notice :popcorn: :popcorn:
Oh yeah...just like he did at the funeral home:

"Uh...duh...guys...can't we all just get along?"

EJ's response: :eyeroll:

Of course, that was after he jumped in about an hour after Sami started pummeling EJ and he was screaming at her that she killed his baby.

Some notice. :shame:
I guess we see things completely different. I didn't see Rafe putting Ej on notice at the funeral home. I saw a man (Rafe) that loved a baby and wanted the parties involved to respect this child and her memory that was lost.

"Duh" belongs to the guy feeling a rubber belly and thinking wow wonderful, or looking for Blues clues behind a picture.

My thinking was that Rafe was stunned into momentary shock at Ej and Sami's display of complete ugly, I was.

I'll second that! Rafe was the voice of reason at the funeral home. He was the one who thought that all parties should show respect for Grace.

Rafe is a total douchebag who should mind his own business. Where does he get ANY rights in making any decisions regarding Sami and EJ's kid or how they should be acting? He forged documents which last time I checked is a crime. A former FBI agent should know better, the douchebag.

He and Sami are just total fuckbuddies. This show has turned them into a couple of rabbits.

ALL POLLS ARE SPAMMED. Some more than others. I know for a fact that Safe fans vote under different emails. For a fact. So yes, you can only vote once - PER EMAIL. And Safe fans vote like crazy in hopes of getting rid of Ejami for good. Ejoy your couple, you most definitely have that right as a viewer. It's not only Ejami fans that can't stomach this couple. It's Lumi fans too, and others. Granted, quite a few Lumi fans kicked their couple to the curb for the new "Lucas/Luis" character, but this couple lacks charisma, intrugue, chemistry, and quite frankly falls flat, for many, many viewers, regardless of what fanbase they fall under.

As to why Ejami fans don't go spamming? We have enough numbers, we don't need to. And frankly, considering that for the past three years our couple kept winning and continues to win 90% of the polls, won third most favorite supercouple of all time (in spite of not being recognized as a couple by many fans), they still haven't been brought together yet. So much for polls huh?

ah, taelyn, you are truly underestimating those of us who just flat-out dislike sami. also, for me, my issue with rafe is that i never really cared for luis on passions. it doesn't help that rafe is luis 2.0.

as for the storyline, it's too predictable. now i may end up eating my words, but this all looks like some misunderstanding. i can't imagine that rafe had anything to do with emily's death, so the idea that he may have, and that leading to safe angst is totally uninteresting for me.

Well... I never watched Passions.. So Im not familiar with Luis or his history.
I only know I do enjoy Safe as a couple.

I just think many are presuming that the poll must be spammed because they are winning each week.. But I would imagine if spamming IS possible its possible for any couple , Ejami included.
So if Ejami's are not working overtime for their couple then that just proves that SAFE fans are every bit as devoted and committed to their couple.
And If its true that SOD monitors email and not IP.. Then really how many emails do people have ?
I cant imagine people having more than 3-4 at the most. I probably have 3 but as I only use 1, I dont even know if they are still active, and truly I dont think the poll influences TPTB in the end so why would anyone go to that much time and trouble. I probably have voted once a month if I even remember so I cant imagne that all safe fans simply have nothing better to do, or families to raise or work to go to that they spend all day every day spamming a silly poll.. IMO

I understand that some Lumi's dont like Safe , Just as not all those who hated Ejami were Lumi lovers..
The plain truth is everyone has different tastes.. I hate Pizza, Not common but very true.
Some people love Sushi, others Gag at the very idea of it.

I enjoy watchng Rafe and Sami.. It puts others to sleep.
But regardless of those who dont like him, the plain truth lots of people DO like him, and he is not being shoved down our throats and SAFE fans look forward to seeing them.

Variety is the spice of life.

I'm sure, because you love him, that you think that, but to say that Rafe has not been shoved down our throats is just blatantly not true. He has.

Yes, he has, and I think that's why this couple failed. From the very beginning TPTB and Ali just raved and raved about them, and I was sorely disappointed. Poor Ali is still trying, and the more she does, the more it makes me gag.

I started loathing this couple from another "place" where some kept pushing it on others from the moment Rafe walked in throgh the door. I mean I understand people liking GG, but it was like that's it, this is the supercouple of Days, when he just made his appeareance. It was game over for me since then, but I did try. I told myself that it wasn't fair, or right to prejudge like that, so I did try to like them. They just don't do anything for me, and I for one can't wait for them to be over.

Safe didn't fail at all. They are getting a lot of attention and gaining more fans by the day, TPTB got exactly what they were looking for. Even Ali is has a positive perspective on Safe, they've won the same poll that Ejami's loved to brag about winning which is the SOD poll, they've gotten attention from the mags which has mostly been positive, and they have official NBC photo pics. I'd say TPTB got exactly what they wanted.

Although many deny it up and down I think there has to be some bitterness with Ejami fans and some Lumi fans that we now have Safe which involes another man for Sami. Ejami's because their couple got as far as marriage and only made love once during the time they were together. Didn't watch them during the whole time but you can probably count the times that Sami kissed or caressed EJ on one hand? Am I right? And the one time they do get together - there is no intimate chit chat like we've seen with Safe she was out of that bed like a rocket and begging Lucas to forgive her.

The Lumi's will be angry because their couple were manipulated and forced apart by EJ and his sceaming. The last thing they know is that Sami was in love with Lucas througout her marriage to EJ. She decares her love for Lucas after her and EJ were together that one time. Sami is now out of WP and out of the marriage from EJ and rather than her try to get him away from Chloe [remember when Sami was out of WP they weren't married yet] she contiues to bond with Rafe.

If I was in one of those fanbases I would be annoyed too. :redface:

But I'm not I'm a Safe fan! And we have what ya'll would die for Sami telling Rafe she loves him practically on a daily basis and him saying the same thing and them making love and being affectionate in between fights! :wub: :wub: :wub:

How much longer do Safe have? 3 days? 3 weeks? 3 months? 3 years? [if the show lasts that long - doubt it] I don't know just like no-one who posts on these boards does. But I intend to enjoy the ride! Sami has been married to both EJ and Lucas before it is unlikely she'll go back there again until she's gone as far as she can with Rafe and if that means marriage number 4 get out your posh frocks and your tucks because we may be going there! He's moving in and didn't have to manipulate Sami to get her to invite him to live with her, the first step towards it has begun. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Also you can all be mad but please put this into context. Lucas is married to Chloe and EJ is married to Nicole. Neither is showing any signs of wanting to separate from these women. Why should Sami be the only one left alone? We know these relationships look set to unravel eventually but they haven't yet so Sami has a right to focus on Rafe as much as these men are focussed on their wives! Wives I might add they married knowing that Sami was free and available if either of them could have been bothered to continue to fight for her!

I don't agree Rafe has been shoved down anyones throat yet, however during the month of June he was on a lot. Prior to that not so much and Jason's episode rankings month by month for each actor shows that Ari, James and Ali are on the most eppies each month.

I don't know how anyone can say that SAFE failed when they are a very popular couple right now. They are together, are a couple, are in love with each other. I think that is a couple that is working. I don't know what will happen in the future but it looks like SAFE are the real deal and have been getting positive feedback from all kinds of sources.

Nice guy. What a hero. He's disappointed that Sami doesn't trust him...even though he's keeping secrets from her.
And nevermind that he had intended to steal a guy's kid right out from under him, now he's getting a kick out of rubbing it in the guy's face that's he's moving in with the mother. That ought to help Sami out in her fight for Johnny.

Enjoy away, asswipe. :angry:
Hey,,it just came too me!I know how his GF died,he probably bored her to death!! :lol:
:lol: :lol: :lol: yep i think you solved that one! poor woman what a sad way to go :lol: :lol: :lol:

See, I see it completely different. They did the same for Ejole, and look where they are now. They flunked too, and we are just waiting for them to disintegrate. And we know it's coming, don't we? It's just a matter of time.

They are publicizing, they are promoting, they are trying to convince us to like them. Maybe if we read positive articles, we'll be convinced. Not.

James didn't convince us to like Ejole, and Ali isn't convincing us to like Safe. Will they continue to push it on us throughout the summer? Sure, no doubt. Why else the lame storyline about Rafe's ex? As if anyone would be interested about his dead girlfriend. And we ALL know that he's had nothing to do with it, so why even bother to watch, except if you like them?

I'm not saying some don't like them, I'm just saying that most of us don't. It's not bitter, or being mean, it's just what it is.

I'm not saying some don't like them, I'm just saying that most of us don't. It's not bitter, or being mean, it's just what it is.

The difference is they really damaged Ejole with the fake baby bump story and built the marriage on secrets and lies. Ejole still has potential as a great couple if they can clean that up in some way, because at least Nicole has been written consistently as being in love with EJ. They were adoreable together up until the miscarriage lies began.

And as far as what the writers did to Ejami that was even worse. They are beyond believable redemption as a couple IMO. Safe have not had anything disgusting or twisted happen between them which makes them easy to root for IMO. The writers could write something sick into their storyline so I can't root for them any more but what I see on my screens with them now is nothing like that.

I could not stand GG on Passions either. And regardless of whether I am an EJami fan has nothing to do with my opinion of this actor. He just is not selling the story. He is blank, emotionless and boring.

If Eric Martsolf was playing Rafe I might have a different opinion. EM is a laidback actor but he can convey emotions. It is so sad to me that EM has had next to no story while GG has been shoved at us constantly and still fails to make this story realistic. The theory of the storyline is not really bad it is the execution that stinks. AS tries to hard to make up for the void opposite her, imo. That just highlights the problems with this couple.

And you can quote my posts all day long and try to smear my thoughts as "just an EJami fan" spouting off, but that does not make what I said any less true, for me and many other viewers.

Now as I am entitled to my opinion on this board, I will say it as often as I like.

I agree 100% with this post. And, you know, the irony is that they DID consider EM for the casting of Rafe. The only thing is that GG couldn't possibly be cast as Brady, looking hispanic.

And yes, AS is trying hard to promote him. Too hard.
