I just thought of a reason why I might not like this twist... The obsessive compulsive flashbacks of "the note" and Sami making that pouty/constipated face and talking to herself about telling Rafe....FOR MONTHS!!! YIKES! AZ...please hurry back! |

Well the scenes with Nicole were just an example. But all the other stuff we have been seeing when EJ has been with Sami and Rafe have been pointless as well. They did not play it like EJ was the kidnapper during the time, we saw him worried and all that. To me this feels like a lazy cop out by the show because they realized they couldn't continue to drag this out with the same Anna/Sidney and Rafe/Sami/EJ stuff everyday. |

Ah, but it's not just that it's in character for EJ--it's that in one fell swoop he does the exact same thing to Sami that she did to him and keeps Sydney from Stefano and Nicole as payback for their deception of him. He also keeps Rafe and Brady from being heroes. He's the one person who totally, completely benefits from this revenge scheme. Just to take the Kate example, even if she wants revenge on Stefano and EJ for trying to kill Philip, which I would think she would, taking and hiding Sydney is a lot of trouble, and where is she getting the money to do it? It's much more circuituous. With EJ, the motive is crystal-clear. |

Exactly, as much as I love them (well some of them), I'm sick to death of the DiMera being behind everything that happens in Salem. And I don't give a fuck about Elvis or about him getting "his balls back". |

I disagree. I've been thinking EJ has been acting suspicious for weeks, from insisting on taking the commercial flight which was slower, to screaming at everyone and casting suspicion on everyone else--Stefano, Nicole, Kate, even Arianna and Brady. He's been playacting for everyone. The one and ONLY time that I'm aware of that we've seen him alone is when the note came--and if it turns out Anna was double-crossing him or screwed up his instructions somehow with the note then even his look of (mild) surprise is explainable. I mean, if you're going to go to the trouble to stage a kidnapping you have to do everything possible to have people avoid suspecting you, and that includes pretending to be devastated. Of course, AS is doing such a shitty job of portraying a distressed mother whose baby is missing I can see why people would get confused. The funny thing is that people aren't suspecting Sami, since she hardly seems upset at all. |

James Scott said it would be a huge twist and that it was brilliant, brilliant. posted on this forum... at daytimeroyaltyonline.com/topic/8219240/1/. It was the interview with Michael Fairman In November and they just stop recording the February episodes. So he might have been talking about this, and this is brilliant and huge. Now some of us viewers had predicted this could be the outcome, but as a EJ fan (not EJAMI), this is brilliant, brilliant. He has duped the Brady's, The Cops, The FBI, Brady, his father and Kate, Nicole, and the Hernandez's. Not to mention all of the citizens of Salem, this has been well written, applause applause for EJ DiMera.

Of all the crazy schemes Kate's pulled through the years, kidnapping would be one of the easier ones, imo, and as for the money, she does have a successful company. Pulling a Sami and selling the baby on the black market for example, would've been very Kate-like, as would pocketing the ransom, and hurting Stefano, plus getting to stick it to Sami just for fun. I still think there's holes in the story either way - like why Anna is working with EJ, who treated Tony so badly before he was killed? I don't mind that it's EJ (although it could've been a better story if it wasn't, imo), but I don't think he's the only character who could fit as the kidnapper, without fanwanking, either.

Its funny no one is suprised at how self absorbed Sami is. I guess they just expect her to act this way. Its in the genes. Marlena wanted to screw John in a car while Sami was going to be cut open. Sarlena is here to stay. :puke: |

No it was Nicole/Sami/& Rafe all over again. EJ was buttering up to Sami & Rafe, to gain Sami's trust so he could stab her in the back. And frankly he could never get the knife to far in her back, with the white knight's protective shield blocking him. |

Granted the source of 'brilliant' was JS and I'm sure it was 'brilliant' to him because it allowed him to reinvigorate the attributes he loves about his character. But it's not much of a 'twist' when it makes complete sense. Of course EJ would be behind it all! This is something that EJ would do because after all, he's a DiMera! and has every motive in the book to be behind the Sydnapping/Revenge plot. As a viewer I don't think of it as a twist at all, it's all in a DiMera day of work. JS also said it would turn this story 'on its head'. Yeah, right. Lesson to self: Don't give credence to actor's POV, stay spoiler free, don't wash colors with whites.... ETA: I'm not against EJ being the mastermind, I just dispute whether it's a twist. I know it's not brilliant. Edited by mer4santo, Jan 1 2010, 01:19 PM.

Melissa is returning, probably for the funeral of course, cool. Can other Horton's return? I'd love to see Bill, Jennifer, and people like that. And you have to consider Anna's motivation... first money, and smart EJ has his own lucrative business and I'm sure took money away from his father while he was in a coma and lawyer such as himself would no how to do it and hide it; to screw over Stefano he is the one she hates he is the one that kidnapped her husband for years and then caused Tony to go into a sibling war with him and his brother; and then there is Sami. Sami screwed Carrie for years, payback is a bitch. |

Very cool! It would be nice if we could keep her and flush out the Horton family tree again. |

First you have to ask your self this question, when did EJ know? Was it when Nicole said what she said to him? Or did Dr. Baker call him, what if everything was a sham, an act? Maybe there was a 4th letter, did you think it was funny that the police got a letter, Mia, Sami, but not EJ? And what if there is one more twist.... Troy intervenes and takes the baby.... Sure that could really give it a twist... Edited by kitkat, Jan 1 2010, 01:26 PM.

The baby getting kidnapped a fourth time isn't a twist. That's pretty much SOP for Syd's life. :laugh: j/k If they write EJ has having knowingly thrown his daughter out, then that's a clear sign that the writers need to back slowly away from whatever they're smoking, because it's doing some serious damage. |

I like that it is EJ. He has become way to "soft" IMO. Bring him back to being the rotten bastard he was when he first came on. Too many "good" people on this show. Give me someone that is a royal SOB. That's what I want to see! |

Yes I can made a thorough we do a search ratings two years ago until now and what happened in every week. I can put the entire list and show you but it will delete. I'm not talking as a fan has ejami an effect of audience watching at home without any connection to their great Fanbasess Believe it or not there fanbasess hev the same number on this site. and over 22 million viewers it's huge. james scott he is the main character has a huge support from his fans . I do not want to open a war at all! ratings just like he was before two years ago and thet not good yet ejami alona in august got 2.4 .you know ratings began to fall in March and September he up in 17.12 .. safe sex got the least number! this case so happened last time and it was also a case? I do not think! you cen not see what magic is this james scott hes an actor and his game, he unequivocally made days of our lives more worth watching the game is an exception he is the actor who receives the most letters to him fans want to see hem every event that all the whistles and shouts especially for him. So In response to your post generation changed two years ago people thought Marlena was dead and not coming back they did a demonstration in front of the studios where those fans today? Time has changed and days of our lives would not survive without james scott and bd and you will see it very soon. Edited by ¤ Rhi ¤, Jan 1 2010, 03:30 PM.
