First, can we please keep Fay? She might've grown a backbone too late to help her kids, but her going off on Sami was great.

Justin and Carly's scene showed more sparks than jope, and could even rival barly. I had to laugh when Carly called Justin out on smirking and told him to come out and say what he felt.

Lucas' scene was short, but I enjoyed it. That has to be a sign of the Apocalypse.

EJ going Dimera on Fay and Kefano were great.

IMA, I wondered if Sami was alluding to the way Rafe kept her in the dark about Nicole/Sydney/Grace etc. Probably not though.
Alluding to, to mean she was plainly saying it, and not keeping her in the dark about Sydney/Nicole/&Grace it was not telling her that Nicole escaped. I read the scene as this Sami knows her father and Rafe are protecting her from being overcomed by false leads and things that will upset her, and though I think she loves feeling protected, it sometimes gets on her nerves. This is her daughter and she wants to know everything.

Okay, to have said that, let me say this.... :shame: I feel so ashamed of myself, I actually felt for Stefano. I came out with the attitude today that I hope they don't make it where he never sees his grandbaby again. After all Stefano has done, and I feel sorry for him.... :wtf:
I have to agree. That chess scene was one of the best written, best played, subtly acted scenes I've seen on the show in quite a while. I actually felt for both Stefano AND Kate -- Stefano for his love and concern for his granddaughter and Kate for her (apparent) love and concern for him. The really are writing Stefano/Kate as genuine marriage and not an extorted arrangement now.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

Seriously, has Joe Mascolo ever been nominated for an Emmy? Cause it would be kind of fun if he got one this year.

That is what I loved about it. I love that they built the scene around the chess game. It took me back to years ago. You get so much insight into Stefano when he plays chess and now that he has a trusted ally and someone he cares about with him in Kate you can play that. Joe and Lauren played it well and I feel it really helped explain Stefano's reasoning behind his actions this year. He really loves Sydney. Those were really fantastic scenes with the two of them.

No but I have to admit I felt he MAY have gotten a bod for his work in 2007 because I felt he had the material but this year may give him more of a chance because he had alot more scenes filled with raw emotion. He has Tony's death he can use or he could use today's episode, which I felt showed a good deal of range.

Loved the chess scene. Wonderfully done and both actors did a great job but especially JM. It looks like we're building up to quite a custody battle once Sydney is returned.

I've never liked Fay...until today when she called Sami a bitch. It was refreshing to hear the old Sami alluded to, and I'd kind of forgotten that Sami was briefly her daughter-in-law.

I will be shocked if EJ isn't involved in Sydney's kidnapping.

This is a little off topic. But why are the makup people putting eyeliner around Justins eyes? It's been bugging me for weeks. Wally really does not need the eyeliner and it makes him look silly. In some scenes it's fine but in others it looks like they have put to much on and makes him look a bit silly. I don't know why makeup people see the need to put eyeliner on men. In my opinion the men look just fine without all the makup and eyeliner.

Totally agree with the Justin and Carly sparks! Saw alot more chemistry with these two then I did with Justin and Hope. Justin came alive with Carly. Whereas when he is with Hope he is dull and boring. I still see no chemistry with Justin and Hope. Just a friendship. Just a thought if they had Hope hookup with Dan and then have her find out Dan is the father of Carly's child it could really put fire in this storyline. Imagine Hope's reaction to finding out her newest boy toy was the father of the woman she despises? It would be interesting! I'm hoping they don't have Bope cheat on each other as I think this story could have more potentional without the cheating. For me any bedhopping in this storyline would ruin it for me. It would almost come across as trashy. Saw the Dan and Carly scene on nbc.com. There looks like there could be some chemistry there. But I'd have to see more scenes before I can say they have chemistry. Judging by the scene though Dan seemed a bit more alive. Maybe Carly is what Dan needed to come alive!

Show was pretty good.

Rafe looked alive today when he shook Nicole...I liked it.

Carly and Justin have awesome chem. I want them together.

I hate breathy Fay. She is the reason Nicole is a wacko.

I loved the Ejami scene. I want them together dammit. lol

Ari is a great actress. If Nicole was not out of her mind I would believe her.

I hate Bricole....can not stomache it. I prefer Brady with Ari.

If Will takes Mia to the dance Lucas better give that boy some condoms...just saying.

Bope...weird, just plain weird. I just do not get it. Why must they write this sl into play? argh.

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

LMAO today at Carly telling Justin to wipe that disingenuous smirk off his face. They really do read these boards, don't they? ;)

Can they make Arianna any more pathetic? Seriously? The fact that she followed Brady to Cleveland is pathetic enough...but standing there and listening to his conversation with Nicole at the bus station, then dutifully following him out at the end of the scene at the hospital...that chick has issues. Who would put up with that from a guy they've hooked up with just a couple of times? He's given her absolutely NO indication that he's all about anything but Nicole lately. Apparently being a doofus is a Hernandez family trait.

Nice to see SupeRafe back up on his sanctimonious high horse again today. Not. Huffing and puffing and threatening Nicole...walking around like he's in charge and actually has a job to do... Dude seriously needs to get over himself.

Fay was great today. I wish they'd bring her back to Salem once Nicole is released from maternity leave the psyche ward, or wherever she's going. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Nicole and her mom and Fay did a great job holding her own against EJ and the Bradys. I did have to laugh at her calling Sami a 'little bitch'. Sadly, though, Fay is out of the loop - Sami is no longer the little bitch we knew and loved. :( EJ threatening Fay about his DiMera-ness was kind of fun...particularly since Sami was standing there soaking it in and giving her a "neener neener neener" look. Interesting how Sami didn't seem to mind him pulling out the big, bad DiMera card on Fay.

Hope. Shut the hell up and throw some damned ornaments on the tree with your family. Sheesh!

So they brought BD back to have Lucas show up for half a scene and throw out three or four lines of dialogue once every couple of weeks? Wow. I hope he's not getting paid by the word. :shame:

What's with everyone wanting them to be in love now? lol! My god, it's like Ejami syndrome has been passed on to Stefano and Kate. I like them too, but come on now - she's his ex hooker, and he tried to kill her son - among numerous other things between that (taking Roman away? Was that him ..and Tony? etc etc). They are good, as long as they don't go sappy on us..oy.

OMG that's why he looks so weird. I totally see it now - it looks terrible. There's something off about his look on the show, and I haven't quite been able to put my finger on it! I think he's wearing bad lipstick and foundation, too!

While I enjoy the wig Arianne Zucker's been sporting, I have to admit that it throws off the chemistry she has with Eric Martsolf. I want Brady and Nicole to get together, so I'm hoping we get her blonde locks back upon her return in a few months.

I loved Sami and Fay going at it today. It was just like back in 2002 when they weren't getting along while Sami was dating Brandon. Fay didn't approve of her son's love interest back then, and it looks like she still can't trust the BITCH. Her words, not mine. LOL! I would've liked a little mention of them not liking each other when Sami was dating Brandon. Any mention of Brandon between Sami and Fay would've been nice. It looks like Fay's going to jail. I hope she doesn't stay in jail. They need to bring Fay back full-time when Zucker returns from her maternity leave. Give Valerie Wildman a contract please!

I enjoyed Stefano and Kate's game of chess today, and the way he kept criticizing her gameplay. It's so Stefano.

I actually heard Christmas music in the scenes at Bo and Hope's house and Java Cafe. I love it when the shows start doing that for background music around time of year.

I liked the Nicholas mention today during Justin and Carly's conversation. I think it would be really smart to bring Nicholas back right now. Perhaps have Vivian brainwash him against his mother by revealing that Carly killed Lawrence. I wonder if Nicholas knows that, or if he's assuming the person that confessed to the murder is the one that did his father in.

And it's sad (and rather telling) when Mia acted circles around poor Will today. Hell, next to Prince Monotone, Emo-Mia seems like Meryl Streep.

Nicholas is a character that really should be in this story.I actually find it odd that Vivian seems more concerned about phillip than she does about turning Nicholas aganist Carly.How unlike Vivian.Plus I kinda think it would be interesting if Nicholas resents his new sister.

I could see Days bringing Nicholas on the canvas at some point next year. Days probably doesn't want to bring in too many Alamains at once. We've seen the backlash here over the Hernandez family situation.

DrewH, I agree about Faye. They need to bring her back for good. With the lack of girls in that age group, they'd might as well recast Taylor too, and bring back Brandon. Brandon and Ari could be good, and try Lucas with Taylor.

I'm a little Nicole'd out but Faye and Brandon would be good additions. I was even thinking that they could bring back Felisha Terrell as Brandon's sister but I wish they didn't make Abe Brandon's father. FT and Matt Cedeno could pass for siblings. They could even bring in Paul Mendez's mother who could have had some sort of normal maternal relationship with Nicole. If they did develop this family, they should play up the angle that Nicole is part latina. Connect them (not by blood) to the Hernandez family. Perhaps if they were able to get one or two big names in the latin telenovela market, they could harvest some new viewers. Wow, I can't believe I am even suggesting more Hernanez and Nicole material.

After the last two days I never have any interest in Arianna and Brady in a romantic scene ever again. Even though it doesn't make sense, Brady's clearly Nicole's bitch FOR LIFE!!!
I have absolutely no problem with that.
