A-FUCKIN-MEN! I'm at a lost in what people see in her? She wants everything without working for it, and then blames others in the process! Maybe they could have made her rootable if she never tried to pass off Rafe as the father of her baby? If they are trying to mold her into Marlena, having that whole scheme with Rafe was the wrong step and now as EJ is berating Brady and Nicole for lying to him about the baby, you see SAFE in the background, be a GLARING reminder that they did the same! All I can is that I will be sooooo over the moon when TPTB stop putting her in the forefront in SLs because shes never been believable to me as anything other then the spiteful bitch looking at the window as others are happy but her! |

Kenny, well said. I just don't care for her anymore. I could easily root for her as Stan and felt sorry for her a few years ago, but now..... :shrug: |

The writers don't seem to understand that the more they try to make Sami sympathetic, the less sympathetic she actually is. |

I didn't see "romantic heroine" for her, but had visions of a younger version of kefano, with either Brandon or EJ. I've accepted that the show's not going to let anyone young be happy in love without getting redeemed by it though :hmmph: Edited by six, Dec 13 2009, 04:04 PM.

I don't mind if Sami was redeemed by actions, or a revelation, or by burning someone, she got burned in the process. What bugs me is that Sami is getting elevated through the bus running over other characters. At least, that's my perception. I'd love to see her as a heroine with snark, still making mistakes. Right now, the only one calling her out on her whole "hide my baby from EJ" thing is EJ himself. It bugged me when they did that with Belle and Mimi, too. Mimi's character got screwed for Belle to be the heroine. It looks like Carly might get trashed to make Hope look good. If one character has to get trashed to make another character look good, something's wrong. |

I completely disagree. If anyone is getting trashed, it's Hope for Carly. |

I don't think anyone is getting trashed where Hope and Carly is concerned. Hope has always been this way but it's never been nonstop, except during the Zack story but she had reason to be upset with Bo then so it didn't come off as bad. |

ITA about Mimi! I was a HUGE Mimi fan, but they threw her under the bus each and every time some SL w/Belle came up. I was indifferent to Belle and liked the Belle/Mimi friendship until they started mesing around with it. As for the whole Hope/Carly/Bo, I'm still waiting on that but so far I have felt bad for Hope because they write her as such a uber-bitch. I have NEVER EVER..EVER..been a Hope fan and I cant believe some of the reasonings behind her acting this way. As for Carly, I think there's a danger of her being whitewashed into being the heroine. She already came to town killing her husband...yet shes out and about. I just dont feel that spark that I felt for this character, but that just could be me and changing my mind. I'm just glad Viv's here for her revenge, because if she wasnt I wouldnt be a Carly fan! |

Yep, agreed. It's annoying how she declares everyone as her "one true love"- and also confusing on the viewers part. When I started watching DAYS, Sami was so obsessed with Austin, so I found I was always rooting for them...then frustrated when I realized they weren't the rooting couple, at all! Anyway yeah, too many love interests at this point. I like Sami and Lucus at this point. I think Sami and EJ are just too little too late, plus, like I said before, EJ would be lowering his standards for her. Sami's not that hot, and she has no style. I can't figure out why he'd be attracted to her. He can do better. |

On my scale of rootable, Sami is at the bottom, one notch above Stephanie. I no longer care if she is happy or not now that she has turned in her scheming, take no prisoners, self-serving manipulative hat. One might argue that hiding Grace was along those lines but not in the same or even a more mature manner (probably because the writing bounced repeatedly around surrounding her motives). She needed to mature but she isn't a believable good girl and AS plays happy Sami with a saccharin sweetness that I find unpleasant, much like the taste of Tab. I miss so many characteristics of the old Sami and thought she was at her best when she was vendetta scheming. Regardless of the now pointless vendetta, she was a more mature schemer than she had been and her motives, while still selfish, were directed at saving her family AND getting the glory rather than just her typical self serving mannerisms. |

I don't see anyone going to make sure Hope doesn't get a job. I don't see anyone lurking around in the shadows spreading innuendo. Actually, I guess you're right in a way. If anyone is coming off looking bad, it's Justin. To me, though, it's Hope. And I don't believe for a minute Hope was, in the older days, THIS bitchy. She was bitchy with a fighting attitude. This is just plain bitchy. The old Hope would have fought tooth and nail for Bo instead of hurling accusations and laying the blame game. |

Can't stand to watch Sami in almost any scene! Acting sucks! The character is a hypocritical glitter bipolar mess! Least rootable character on the show....maybe second to Stephanie. And it just really bothers me that Sami changed from underdog to glitter queen when AS got her Biggest Loser gig. Like NBC couldn't have her be that kind of character anymore while being a big player so they fixed her to be heroine. Just my take of it. I could be wrong. And all hail the greatness that is Coke Zero! :hail: |

It's better to just drink water. The only beverages I drink are water and coffee (maybe some Kool-Aide here and there, but only made with Splenda). I'm not sure I've had more than a handful of sodas in the last 8 years. Edited by Matt, Dec 13 2009, 09:37 PM.

Noooo, Matt! Don't drink the Kool-Aid! LOL So funny how these conversations turn out! And the Sami compared to Tab. I used to drink Original Recipe Tab back in the dark ages. Yuck. Fresca was better. But, yeah, matt, water beats all. But I love the Sami/Tab comparison. That pretty well sums it up. |

I had an aunt who drank Tab religiously. I cringe at the little reminders of the fact that I'm getting old like the other day when I mentioned returning glass bottles to the grocery and getting money for them so the bottlers could refill them. All the young 20somethings I work with were like "recycling?" and I tried to explain that it was similar in concept, but the literally reused the bottles. I'm still not sure I managed to convince them that Coke bottles used to be glass, you could get the glass bottles out of a machine, and you could return the bottles for money. |

They reused the bottles? How long ago was this? Not that I'm doubting you, btw. This is just something I don't remember, probably due to age. Edited by six, Dec 13 2009, 10:05 PM.
