I agree with whoever said Melanie's more believable as a nursing student. A 19-year-old working at a multi-national company is unbelievable. Most 19-year-olds work in burger joints, not places like Titan. Speaking of teenagers, has school started in Salem or are kids at Salem High #1 truants in the US? |

I think the fact that I'm on the fence speaks to how good of a character she has become. The fact that you can work as a nurse or at someplace like Titan shows you have dynamic a character she is. Personally, I will probably be happy either way. I like the actress and character and feel it works either way. |

Hmmm, I think this could have been intentional. The last time we saw/heard from Caroline (it was some random scene in the pub between The Sydney Reveal and XMAS), she really had difficulty with her lines. She is 78 after all, and has excelled in the past. Frank Parker, in his final couple years, really struggled with his lines. A silent Caroline is still better than no Caroline at all, or sending her to the "other room" like Alice. |

Several times on the WED episode, it was mentioned that the new Salem High semester starts "tomorrow". Of course, Nicole's sentencing is being held on "January 1" (a national legal holiday with no federal or state offices being open), since Brady told Elvis that he went to see Nicole in jail "last night", which was New Years Eve, since while Brady was making goo-goo eyes at Nicole, Vivian and Victor (having just canceled their drive to Chicago to bring in 2010) were walking in on Justin and Hope, who were kissing "just after all the fireworks to bring in the new year". It was technically Jan 1 when Viv later ran into Bo outside the Brady Pub "at this late hour" and spilled the beans about Hope Getting Her Groove On. So the first day of 2010 continues. School should begin on the "Second Salem Day" of January, which will probably air later this week (Jan 8?). |

Salem days are so weird... sometimes I wonder how many times a person goes back and forth to work in the same day, lol! |

Did I miss Melanie turning 19? The only birthday I can recall for her was when she celebrated her 18th birthday with Nick. 18/19 yr old in any type of business world role at Titan doesn't work for me, except as photocopier. |

I assumed she'd turned 19 already as she celebrated her 18th birthday in November 2008. If she hasn't turned 19 by now, then Philip's stuck with an eternal teenager. |

Yeah, when I wrote that, I thought, wow, it's been a while since Nick has been on the show, so that sounds right. Maybe they missed it deliberately so that next year she can turn 23, lol! |

i'm surprised people are so upset by writing around the ej reveal. most of it makes sense to me. the reason we saw him looking upset over pictures of sydney is because he genuinely misses sydney. yes, he knows where she is, but he doesn't get to see her, so of course he would still look upset over missing her. secondly, we got our first hint when anna called ej and sami the other day, not today when ej shows up at anna's hideout looking shocked. when anna spoke to ej over the phone, her voice wasn't distorted. she only used the distortion when sami picked up. that for me was the first huge clue that ej was behind this, though i had wanted him to be all along. so i think the story has been well-played. for me, what would be ridiculous and unforgivable would be for ej to overhear sami telling rafe that she wishes they had been able to raise ej's kid alone and ej stand there and do nothing about it. phoenix hit the nail on the head--being behind this kidnapping is wonderfully in character for ej. all the other little scenes, like him overhearing sami on the pier, only serve to give him more reasons to feel justified in what he is doing. |

I had noticed that Anna didn't wear gloves to make the ransom note and EJ didn't bother to have the note tested for fingerprints and figured that Anna and EJ were in it together from the beginning. So the questions for me are whether he knew that Nicole would take Syd and he wanted Anna to take Syd from Nicole or whether the original plan was to have Syd taken from the mansion. Was the original plan to set up Nicole to make her look like the guilty party? Did she mess things up when she decided to come back to Salem or is EJ planning on setting up Anna to make it look like she has been working alone? If it is the latter Anna better watch her back. I can't see EJ leaving a co-conspirator behind to implicate him. Edited by ilovemydays, Jan 7 2010, 09:34 AM.

Again, no one is disputing it being in character. Only whether or not the pieces fit. It's like Anna's involvement. I'm still waiting for a good explanation for why she's in cahoots with EJ, who treated Tony so badly up until his death, to hurt Sami. Yea, I know, Carrie, but if Anna was so upset about all that, don't you think it would've come up last time she was in Salem? Why now, all of a sudden? I'm still hoping Anna is the rumored woman who's motives will be revealed through flashbacks, and that Nicole's memory of the boots isn't the only flashback we're getting. They're getting a break from me, because Anna being back is awesome, but it's not enough to save a story that should've been put down months ago, so hopefully there's more to it. Did Anna speak to EJ without the distorter? I missed that. |

Nothing could cause as much anger as the handling of the jarlena exit, or the fact that there was a jarlena exit, and if that wasn't the death knell for Days, this isn't going to be, either. |

She did because for a minute I thought she didn't have a voice distorter and was going to distort her voice by herself for her talk with Sami. I was really looking forward to it. But when she was talking to EJ I think the camera was on her and it seemed like we might have been hearing it from her perspective, so I wasn't positive that that's how EJ heard her. That may not even make sense, though. |

With everything Days has gone thru, I sincerely doubt this will be much of a blip on the radar. Good grief, Hope slept with Patrick, and it wasn't the end of civilization as we know it. |

Absolutely NOT!! If Days made it thru loosing Diedre Hall and the ratings barely dipped, this won't even turn most people's heads. Edited by SoapGal1, Jan 7 2010, 11:21 AM.

ITA. There have been subtle hints about EJ's involvement. I actually like the way they are handling this. |

Yeah, I was always suspious of EJ......but man is he hot when he's bad!! :wub: I'll always want for EJ and Sami to find their way back to each other, but I want them to be them. This version of Sami is nauseating to say the least, and the past year of EJ without a clue was AWFUL!! SO.....if this is the way we get our characters back (or at least one of them) so be it. Now, if only Sami could get her brains back and quit crying to "SuperRafe the twatter" to save her.....that will be fantastic!! My hope is that when Sami finds out EJ was behind this................GAME ON!! JS and AS can really bring it in scenes like these, so I'm hoping for the sparks to fly!! |
