I agree the thread is way off topic at this point...but my last post was simply a reply to yours on the last page. So why is it now an issue for you that the thread is off topic?

:wave: If you would go back and read my original post, you can see that I stated there how threads are always getting off topic. Besides, this thread was WAY off topic before I posted my two cents at 130-something. I think that some posters were posting off topic way back before I jumped in. Besides, its a moot point considering threads only stray off-topic when Ejami is involved. All threads should be labeled general then if we are going to talk about everything. There would be no point in even naming a thread. It always goes back to Ejami. Point proven again.

I don't know what I'm gonna get for saying this but what if Rafe is a half brother to Ej like John was to Stephano? I know that Rafe doesnt have what Ej has, but neither did John once he was the NuJohn. I wondering if this is what they are gonna do? If they are tryin to make Sami out as another Marlena, that would be the same difference. Stefano always wanted Marlena, but John always had her. Just a thought here. LOL :rolleyes:

i hope rafe doesn't become a dimera--not because i hate the character or anything, but because i'm tired of how this show feels the need to constantly tie unrelated charactes to core families. we need some fresh blood on this show. when everyone has one of three last names, it starts getting complicated as to who can sleep with who without commiting incest--not that TPTB have much cared about that in recent years, but it's safe to say the audience does.

Quoting limited to 3 levels deep
Ah yes I forgot that :wow: ..... :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: But until then....go Safe! :jedi: :jedi: :jedi:
Ugh! Safe hardly qualifies for "the best"... You can only look at eye candy for so long, and then you get tired of it. We're tired already. -_- Wake us up when it's over.
I totally agree. I am sick of SAFE already and need to see EJAMI at their best again. Never has their been such chemistry. I can't wait until they find out about Sydney.

Does anybody besides me not give a bat crap who Sami is with? She could do an entire aircraft carrier full of men for all I care. I just want to see good story telling. What that story is, I don't care. I've been watching this stupid show since I was 12 (that's 29 years and an unfathomable number or wasted hours) and I can tell you it just doesn't matter who she's with or not with this year, or this week, because it's going to be somebody else eventually.

This goes back to my earlier statement about threads being turned into something other than what the original poster intended. It started out about the article in SOW about Rafe's ex-love. Now, as usual it's turned into a thread to pump up and gush about why Ejami is the "it" couple or "endgame". Spare us all. This is always done countless times no matter what board you post on.
Amen to what you said. I am so tired of hearing EJAMI is endgame. Who knows who is going to be endgame anyway? No writer is going to tell us ahead of time who is going to be with who anyhow. And who says that Dena is going to be the head writer when the show ends? She can be replaced at any time, like she was on OLTL.

I agree completely with what Daisy said. It was a foregone conclusion from the moment it was announced that GG was joining the show that he was being brought on to pair with Sami. No build up. No chemistry testing with other actors. Rafe was strapped to Sami's storyline like a vice - and there was no shaking him loose.

Galen Gering just jumped on the same train that James was on. Actually, the same argument can be used for EJ. When James Scott entered the scene, Sami was the only character that he interacted with. It was Samantha all the way.
I remember EJ being connected to Kate and some flirtations with Billie. I remember them playing the "sexy" music in a few scenes with red headed Stephanie (and didn't JS at one point think he was going to get paired with her) and they played the sexy music again with Abby. Jack flipped out on Abby for even looking in EJ's direction.

I dont remember how long WP was but I remember them doing a little something with Rafe & Hope, where Bo got all jealous.

Not regarding your post, but I don't understand why people get SOOOOOOOOO bent out of shape if someone hates or loves a particular pairing or character. I personally loved EJami, like the idea of Melanie with either Brady or Phil, Stephanie with Owen, Chloe with Stefano, Kate with Nickalaus Allamaine, Nick Fallon with Billie, Hope with John...I realize there are people who would rather stick a thousand hot searing needles into their eyes before seeing these pairings but I like stories with people who shouldn't be together but are drawn to one another but I understand their distaste. People's distaste or disagreement with my preferences take nothing away from me if they express so...it's not a personal attack.
I've gotta say I love your post. I liked all of those pairings - I even liked John and Kristin.

Ejami has won practically every poll for the past two years, at least. As for Safe winning, maybe it is because it's mostly Safe fans voting, because most of us refuse to watch.

I don't put a lot of stock in the polls regardless of who's winning them. For example, the SOD poll - Payla had an absolute lock on that poll for a couple of years. Other than possibly Jarlena maybe once, I don't think anyone else ever won it during the time Payla was back on the show. But that certainly was no reflection on their storyline...they were completed wasted the entire time. Immediately after Payla was off the show EJami won for a few weeks - without any concentrated campaigning that I'm aware of. Most of the EJami fans I know were quite surprised. :lol: But again, it certainly had no impact on what was currently happening on the show nor do I think the writers or TPTB pay it much attention.

Just as daisy said, EJami have won countless polls and have done so for the past three years. But in the end, it's nothing more than fodder for arguments like this or bragging rights for the fan bases to pat themselves on the back with. :shrug:

I remember Ejami's bragging about winning the SOD poll like it was gold or something. Please know that I am LMFAO right now. Safe knocked them right out of the game for 9 wks straight. Days is number 3 and is doing better than it has in a while now. Oh this couldn't get any funnier or maybe it could. :lol:

Perhaps. I'm sure there were some EJamis touting about it. I wasn't one of them. But laugh away. Enjoy it while it lasts because sooner or later the EJole and Safe fans will be commiserating together while EJamis are celebrating their couple finally being together. :)

I never believe the polls since they are so easily spammable. But I have to say that EJami fans were hollering at the top of their collective lungs when EJami was winning these polls. I just find it really funny when the tables turn and its now Safe winning all the polls, that the very same polls that they were crowing about winning, have suddenly become unreliable. That was never something that they mentioned while they were celebrating their win at the polls. :wink:

I don't really understand why tptb would keep EJ and Sami as a possible viable couple (I don't think that's what they are doing either based on what I am seeing play out). I'd be willing to bet that if that were to happen, that the RINR campaign would be back in full swing. I personally feel that the writers have done nothing successful in making people forget what happened that one December, as it still gets brought up all the time, and there's all the other heinous shit that EJ put Sami and her family through that has still been left without any real resolution. I just don't see EJ and Sami ever coming to fruition. The only way it's happened so far with both of them happily in love together, is through Santeen (which was such a god awful s/l as it was). So unless they have something similar in mind, I don't think we'll be seeing yet another attempt at EJ and Sami being together romantically. It's failed with every attempt so far, I don't see anything that has changed that. In fact EJ has continued to do more horrid things to Sami and her family. He's certainly done nothing to endear himself to the Brady's, especially Sami. That's my take on it anyway. :tounge:

Who cares?

Tptb are going to give you what they give you and you are going to get what you get. It has nothing to do with fan polls. Obviously tptb don't give a shit about their fans or they'd have improved the writing and the storylines, remembered history and used the characters to tell their stories.

To me, Safe fans should celebrate winning the poll. I don't see anything wrong with that, just like there was nothing wrong with EJami yelling with "their collective lungs" about their win. I'm another of those EJami fans who wasn't yelling. SOD is biased rag in my POV -- their polls mean as much to me a piece of lint in my dryer.

What is the measurement of success or failure? Safe, EJole, Lumi - can any of those couples claim true rating success when measured against John and Marlena, Steve and Kayla or Bo and Hope in their heyday? If we use the "supercouples" ratings at their highest as the standard to measure by, I'd say all of the newer couples look pathetic in comparison.

EJami, unlike the rest of the newer couples cited, has never had the full force of the Days publicity machine behind it. The show doesn't acknowledge them as ever having been a couple. And with good reason, they've never been given a true chance to be a couple. On the other hand, EJole, Safe and Lumi all of have had publicity shots, promos, acknowledgment by TPTB as "couples," numerous magazines articles pushing them -- basically, the full court press. And still, not a one of them have managed to bring the ratings up in a significant way although blessed good housekeeping seal of approval by the mere fact of them not being EJami. EJami also hasn't managed that kind of rating success either.

The ratings are relatively stable right now. But Days has the same ratings now in third place that Hogan Sheffer had in 8th place. There are quite a few days this year that share the same ratings as during Hogan Sheffer's time with Days. Why are these ratings considered a good thing now when they were considered a massive failure then? Could it be that the competition is weaker now? Days looks good when compared to the rest of the pack.

The measure of success is if an individual fan likes a couple or not. You hold out hope that your couple may be given a shot. If it doesn't happen, hey, those are the breaks. I never thought I'd see the day when a 1.9 rating would be considered success. If that can happen then I'm inclined to believe that even the "dreaded" EJami will get their shot as a couple eventually.
