Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
They certainly don't have her dressing, acting or in any way resembling a matriarch. If anything, they seem to portray her as an overaged teenager, hanging on to the leather jacket of her boyfriend for any direction and protection. She is portrayed as a helpless damsel in distress who can do nothing on her own. If they want to make Safe the safe and secure family, then I hope that they do what they did with the other safe and secure families: ship them off to Europe so we don't have to stomach Safe anymore on our screen. Forcefeeding doesn't agree with a lot of us. :x
I see her portrayed as a young woman in her 30's who is in love and happy for the first time in a long time. I didn't mean that being a matriarch of the Brady family means she has to dress or act like Caroline. I mean they need another strong Brady woman in the family. Except for Caroline, whom we never see, there isn't one. If the Brady family is to go on, then they need a strong female. Right now, I think Sami is helpless. She is still surrounded by grief to do much without support. She has no mother to lean on, grandma is never in the picture, her dad is seldom seen, her uncle is having problems of his own. She has been through a lot with the death of Grace and now losing Sydney. She needs someone to lean on and Rafe has been that person. I don't see holding onto his leather jacket as a symbol of her being an overaged teen, just a woman who needs and loves a man who has been there for her through it all. I don't think SAFE has been forcefed on us anymore than ejami was when JS first came onto the scene. I remember him immediately being paired with Sami, even tho she was with someone else.
JS does not compare with GG on any level. GG has been given the golden boy, eye candy, hero, can do no wrong, one note storyline. Anyone can play Rafe. JS developed his character as one that can stand alone and excel, or be paired with someone and excel. His character has actually become one of the top three (being humble here) of the show. He has amazing range and is able to shoulder heavy scenes and storylines of all kinds. Most argue that EJ was never really with Samantha. And yet, here he is, one of the show's top lead characters (again being humble). I agree daisy, JS took a heretofore non-existent character and made him into a Days staple. He did this with relative ease in the face of three different head writers and some alternately horrific/terrific writing. He did his best to make lemonade out of the lemons and made the good stuff even better.
As for Sami, IMHO scheming made her the character that I adore. If her schemes are done then she will eventually be a boring back-burner character ala Carrie/Belle and the rest of the away crew.

Anyone else think that when Hope and Justin search Viv's room.They will find Lawrences letter and then Hope will think that Bo is the man that Carly had the affair with.? I'm interested to seeing what Justin and Hope. I'm sure that it will one huge misunderstanding thinking that the father is Bo. Which will only lead to bigger problems for Bo/Hope.
I'm curious how this all plays out for Justin, Hope, Bo and Carly.

Ej And Sami boring????You mean Rafe and Sami right ?.I find the dynamics between E j and Sami a lot more interesting.Rafe is trying very hard to really ingratiate himself with Sami .He feels very confident in their relationship right now , except when Sami has to much interaction with Ej .Ej is playing it smart now especially if he has any hidden agenda where Sami is concerned.He now asks both of then to come over to the mansion whenever he thinks of something regarding Sydney's rescue.The secret text that every Ejami fan including myself is getting anxiuos about is interesting , but like every potential closeness that has been played out in the last year towards an Ejami reunion I am not holding my breath.

:lol: :lol: Sorry, but JS has sucked major ass in his scenes lately, especially with Sami and their Scooby gang way of solving their crimes. He used to have some potential, but his shaking hands and flailing arms have put a stop to any kind of range. Don't know what happened to him...
all my unbiased opinion of course. The only hope I have for EJ is if he is playing Sami and Rafe's ass off by hiding Sydney...that might be some good stuff.

SOW Spoilers -Vivian and Carly go at it.
**UPDATED 12/18**
Hope asks Justin to help her move on from Bo.
Hope walks in on Bo and Carly
Vivian and Carly going at it? I hope it's good! Knowing days though it will probably be a couple of slaps and some verbal slanging. It should be an all out fight between these two considering their history!
As for Hope asking Justin to help her move on from Bo didn't Hope ask Patrick to do the same thing years ago? And Hope walking in on Bo and Carly. Bo and Billie anyone? Why are the writers repeating this crap! The only thing interesting is the Vivian and Carly going at it spoiler. Although it probably won't be as good as it sounds!

I agree and today's scenes with Arianna were just another example with the shaking hands and flailing arms. Even tho I don't like EJ and Sami together, I used to think JS was a better actor than he is showing us right now. I am with you-- I am not sure what has happened to him. JMO. I think there is a good possibility that he is working with Anna and is playing everybody's ass off.

Well, he's going for an Emmy, not an Oscar! :laugh: I think that the shaking is telling us that EJ is approaching the meltdown. I agree there could have been maybe a little less of it. I guess the point I was trying to make is that JS and GG cannot be compared. They simply aren't at the same level in any department. JMO, of course. Talent wise, or the level of difficulty of their characters or storylines.

Although it probably won't be as good as it sounds! Hope THOUGHT she walked in on Bo and Billie. Bo was unconscious and set up. Hope, of course, assumed the worst of Bo. No surprise. She always has assumed the worse of Bo, long before her "death" and long before Bo knew Billie or Carly. I don't remember Hope asking Patrick to help her move on. I remember Patrick using Hope's anger and grief to manipulate her. I don't see Justin trying to manipulate Hope. I don't see Carly trying to trick Hope into believing something that is not true.
So no, I do not see anything close to a repeat.

I think JS has been great the last few weeks, very compelling and easy on the eyes to boot! I won't be upset if he's behind the kidnapping. Anything that keeps him front and centre in the story is good for me.

I'll be interested to see where they go with the chem testing with Ari. With BD now gone, the only realistic love interest for her is EJ or Brady or SD I suppose & and I don't see any of them working.
Mind you, if they keep writing Brady as Nicole's gormless bitch, I'd be happy for him to head over to Switzerland & see how his Dad is recouperating, abs and all.

If her schemes are done then she will eventually be a boring back-burner character ala Carrie/Belle and the rest of the away crew. Characters that don't scheme don't have to be boring. They haven't been for the last four and a half decades. They're not all needy and clingy. They can be and have been much more complex than that. For years I have enjoyed both the schemers/villains and the heroines, and the heroines aren't gone just because they weren't like Sami. Julie was like Sami and wasn't she gone before any of the so called goody goodies? Sami is actually the only schemer that lasted as long as she did. Sami works best as the underdog, and having her be a character who is constantly getting her butt kissed and expecting to have her butt kissed just doesn't work for her. And quite frankly, AS can't pull it off.
Does anyone else feel like someone is going to jail on this show every other week?
