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.
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...
No more babynapping, lets move on to another story, please! I sure as hell don't want 'I lost my phone' Troy getting baby Syd, it mimics Dean/Ciara a bit too closely and provides nothing but filler to keep this story moving into year two.

If it's retconned that EJ knew about the switch back in the Doc Baker days then I think it's bad storytelling for a few reasons:

One, he notably continued to play a mushroom in the dark, being duped time and time again with NO indication that he ever had a clue. What did he get out of that investment in stupidity?

Two, nabbing Sydney but not Johnny to get at both Stefano and Sami doesn't make for a very poignant payback. The weakest foundation of this entire story lies in keeping Sami's child away from the evils of Stefano, but Johnny was hardly part of the concern which still makes little sense to me. If EJ knew a long time ago what was going on I'd think he would be attempting a truly hurtful payback and that would include Johnny. Honestly I think that Johnny should have been taken with Sydney since the assumed motive is getting at he DiMera family.

Three, is EJ so omniscient that he knew the perfect time to get his revenge would be just after Nicole steals the baby again after Rafe figures out that Syd was really Sami's after Nicole was slagging on Sami's couch because EJ threw Nicole and Sydney out of the house after he partially found out about Nicole's miscarriage and illegal adoption? Having EJ all of a sudden be smarter than he ever was, maybe he is back to playing with the tarot cards or Celeste is working for him in the background.

I could see them retconning the entire thing but I would have liked to see inklings in the background that he was onto something and was working towards a goal. In fact I wanted THAT particular story a long while ago but haven't seen hide nor hair of it.

How long have we heard the tireless argument that Ejami is endgame? Please. I hardly think the show will suffer in the ratings considering the fact that they aren't together now and the ratings are good.
want to bet? this show is good now? you looke in the ratings before two eyars ago the same ratings peeps watch only becuse the other soap ar bed now days lost in the week of december 14 218000.
the episode safe sex got the Least expect ! last time they tried to do ej darker they failed I tell you that's a fact without the numbers of Ejami they are cenceld that's a fact.
Instead of using "na-na-na-na-boo-boo" verbage, could you give us some examples to support your claims? They survived Marlena and John leaving. They've survived other lousy storylines. I hardly think Ejami, give or take, will send a nail in Days's coffin. I venture a guess to say that they could even survive James Scott's leaving. If you have facts to prove otherwise (besides spouting off so-called numbers of fanbase members), please do so.
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.
Huh? What are you talking about? LMAO

:sleep: :sleep: this post is so off topic not to mention repetitive I'm sure you've pasted the same thing on other sites ...

No one is talking about JS coming of the show - the character is behind the Sydney kidnap - that is big story for James - and EJ is playing the whole town, wasting police time, and JS is delighted with his story so all of that fan mail is obviously paying off. But your obession with JS being the only thing keeping Days afloat is not a shared opinion. If the show cans survive Deidre and Drake and the other vets leaving it would definitely survive James leaving IMO.

Can I say how nice it is that they are bringing back at least one Horton (Melissa) for Maggie's SL. I wish they bring back maybe Sarah, for Philip? (Yes, I'm trying to get Phil out of Stephanie or Melanie orbit! LOL)

Uh, I don't think you even know to whom you should be aiming this. I don't compare fanbases. As a matter of fact, I generally stay out of the fanbase wars, but whatever floats your boat. I'm going to get back on topic now.
As an aside about the pending warnings of cancellation should Scott jump ship, my life will go on just fine if Days cancels. I'll miss it, but heck, girlfriend! I'm 49 years old. I've lost a lot of my favorite shows in my lifetime, and you know what? My ceiling didn't collapse. Dogs and cats didn't start lying down together. Pigs didn't fly.
But, carry on the good fight! :rockon:

My brain's a bit bad today..but as I remember her she was the adoptive daughter of Mickey and Maggie. She wasnt a major player back then and she moved with her sister to Nashville.

I figure shes a good character to bring back because A. she's related to Maggie and can have her to go through the grief (instead of toothy Mel or downer Mia) B. TPTB can totally make up her career, backstory in Nashville and C. shes a Horton and we need more Hortons!

Okay, let's see if I just understanding what you wrote.... That EJ brings excitement to the show, hot damn was I right, cool. I agree. His evilness is just what the show is been aching for... Stefano has become watered down and so has Victor. Vivian is a pleasant change though, but where there is evil there has to be good....

The White Knight vs The Black Knight

Both have opposite attributes, meaning EJ has some good, Rafe some bad; however, mostly they are staying true to their roles. I think we will see them both smarten up, Rafe will see EJ more in his true light and EJ will be seen as the smart villian...
