Well, I just might have to eat my words about EJ The Mastermind, I enjoyed what I saw today. Today I saw glimmers of my old EJ, his phone call to Sami today where he sounded and his facial expression looked sincere but were tempered with his carefree twirling of that green toy was good. EJ knows Sami and how to manipulate her, I'm thinking he knew at some point Hope and Sami would have a conversation where Hope villifies Bo for not giving the kidnappers the ransom. I'm all for EJ manipulating/punishing Sami, I just hope he does it with intelligence and flair. Thankfully, Anna's involvement was expanded. Maggie not calling 911 was weird...just because she has experience as a hospital volunteer? WTF? IDK how people react IRL but ok. I'm on the verge of Kristian Alfonso worship here, she has so much expression. Even though I thought Hope's fiddling with Maggies hair for what seemed like an eternity was odd, I liked it. SR did awesome too, when she said "what am I going to do now?" I choked up. The scene where Maggie takes Mickey's hand and puts the wedding ring was so powerful. I guess people got their body double they were glamoring for, lol. When Hope was leaving to go tell Alice and Hope asked Mag if there was anyone she wanted to stay with her I was thinking Melanie would be perfect but what would make it perfect is if Melanie dropped the ball by becoming so uncomfortable with death. From the preview, looks like I'm going to get my wish because Melanie totally puts her foot in her mouth. The elevator stuff just seems so petty in the context of the show and considering i don't really remember why Viv hates Carly so much. Vivian looked great with her macabre makeup. The way she was constumed with all the angular details in the blazer and earings, I just wish the fitting was better. I think Viv was speaking french but I lol'd, "mision cumplida" reminds me of Go Diego Go. Carly and Bo look good together. It's wrong to have Bo be unfaithful but I understand why he's doing it. I'm always surprised when actors go overboard on the botox when its a crucial part of their performances but she really needs to lay off. Bo showed great restraint in his interaction with justin. |

Yes, that soft grey blonde hair is what AS/Sami is sporting! Why would any young woman want their hair to be grey? I don't get it! And it does look grey...I remember looking past Sami's awful clingon braid and thinking that she could be playing an old version of herself. And I thought that Mia's hair looked like shit too with that butt cut part and the extra longness of it all. Cut about a foot of that shit off and style it up! She is a teen...she has the time to make it look good! As far as fierce women...I hope Nicole Dimera will bring it when she returns! And HF - you crack me up with your Go Diego Go references! I can't wait to see the show tonight! |

Someone compared her to a dog getting excited to play ball in those situations, lol! To her credit, there have been times where her crying has been subdued and excellent. |

Suzanne was awesome today. At first Hope wasn't showing any emotion but that's because I think she was in shock. When she came back down to the kitchen she comforted Maggie. I'm glad they mentioned how frail Alice has become. That's going to be an issue as to why she isn't on screen but I think most people know that Frances Reid can no longer act due to her poor health. I had to laugh at Sydney's expressions around EJ. She didn't seem too happy to see him. Loved the Carly/Vivian scenes in the elevator. I'm loving Bo and Carly but Bo came off like an ass today in his conversation with Justin. Bo kissed Carly first and is now being a hypocrite about Justin kissing Hope. |

Well really enjoyed today for a couple of reasons. I enjoy EJ being his evil DiMera self. And his action only nailed shut any glimmer of any real hope for An Ejami future. Even if his actions lead to some kind of angst or misunderstanding between SAFE.. When the truth comes to light.. * And it will * Safe will unite, and EJ will never be able to redeem himself to Sami after doing this. Im glad to have some closure in the future to the whole Ejami thing. They are and always should have been enemies. **Edited to add** I was LMAO cuz Sydney was looking at EJ like she was really pissed and hated him .. It was so cute LOL Edited by Taelyn, Jan 8 2010, 06:20 PM.

OMG, that so fits. I keep wondering why the character wouldn't eventually try not to get her hopes up instead of being super excited Every. Time. Yea, AS did do well with the crying scenes during Grace. I don't think she, or very many of the people on Days are bad, just engaging in a little hyperbole. |

I think I need to cut my sons cartoon viewing because I think we've establish Chad looks like Twist from the Freshbeat Band and now that people have coined a new name for Rafe, Sami's ultra yellow hair makes sense now-she's Spongebob to his Patrick Starfish. The acting quirks are all good and endearing (with a couple of exceptions). I wanted to agree about EJ and Sydney being sooooooo cute. Looks like the babies are getting used to JS, she looked so sweet about to fall asleep in EJ's arms. To quote Bonnie Hunt, "doesn't that just make ya wanna ovulate?" |

LOVED today's show, even though Suzanne Rogers made me cry. I can understand both sides of the argument concerning how they have handled Mickey's death, but for me, I liked it. I completely understand the quiet grief Maggie exhibited, and I would have hated hysterics from this strong, dignified woman. Everyone handles grief differently, and I thought this was true to Maggie's character. The scene with the wedding ring was heart-wrenching and while I personally didn't need to "see" Mickey, I think it was a nice touch for those who did. KA did a wonderful job, and I'm curious if they are going to use Mickey's death, combined with the collapse of her marriage, to do something interesting with Hope. Maybe a breakdown or something. I was watching with my mom, who refused to believe EJ was behind the Sydnapping until she saw it with her own eyes. I was very happy to say "told you so!". Loved the scene with EJ talking to Sami, while playing with Sydney's little toy. Manipulative, scheming EJ is my favorite incarnation of EJ. And the cuteness of Sydney makes me so happy! Lovely, sweet little scene at the end with EJ singing to the baby. Vivian tormenting Carly was so deliciously fun. For some reason, I'm not a Carly fan this time around so I rather enjoy watching Viv play with her. I hate adultery storylines so I'm not happy with Bo and Carly today, although I figured it was just a matter of time. But isn't that Bo and Hope's bedroom they were in? Tacky, Bo, very tacky. Mia and Will...boring, hate them, why is Mia still around? TS is horrible and has managed to suck the life out of Dylan as well. He started out showing some promise but has spiraled down and down ever since he entered Mia's orbit. |

I didn't think so, isn't it the Salem Inn wherever Carly is staying. I thought Bope's bedroom door was was on the opposite side of the room. |

I'm glad EJ turned out to be the one behind the kidnapping. It made the most sense. Plus, Anna and EJ always had a good relationship, so I could totally believe her being willing to help him. I wish they would've given Anna a throw away line, saying something about how it didn't take much for her to do this to Sami after after everything Sami put Carrie through. That would've been great! I loved that EJ was the one that thought about Anna wearing those leopard boots and how people would immediately think about Kate. It shows that EJ still isn't content with Kate being married to Stefano. I loved that scene with him reading the the nursery rhyme to Sydney at the end. She's so cute! On a side note: Does anyone else think Leann Hunley and James Scott share sexual chemistry? I do! I can't wait until Rafe finds out that Sami kept the ransom note a secret. He thinks he has her wrapped around his finger. Think again, douche bag! Best part of today was the scenes at the Horton house. Suzanne Rogers and Kristian Alfonso were great. Alfonso reminded me that she has talent. Too bad she's not expressing it in her own storyline. I got most invested when the ladies discussed how they were going to break the news to Alice. I'm glad Hope is going to be the one to tell Alice about Mickey. Out of all the grandchildren, I feel that Hope is Alice's favorite and most close to her. I was cheering on Will when he broke up with Mia. Dylan Patton actually acted today. Taylor Spreitler continues to just phone in her lines. When will she get recast? It needs to happen soon. Vivian is such an evil bitch! I loved her using Carly's claustrophobia to her advantage. She was cracking me up, eating those chips so contently. I had to roll my eyes though at how the door "suddenly" opened as soon as Bo arrived to help the maintenance man. But I liked that kiss at the end. |

I love how Louise Sorel deepens her voice when she says "Carly Manning," as if just speaking the name makes her lips burn. "I'll see you in hell... CARLY MANNING." |

For the life of me, I can't understand why TS is still on the show as Mia. I think that the character would be more interesting if someone else were in the role. Good girl, bad girl, neither of these personas work for the girl. Instead of sending Patton out the door, it should be TS. I love Vivian! I thought that she was going to clobber poor Carly in that elevator. Too, I think it is plausible for Carly to freak out like she did in the elevator. After being buried alive all those weeks in that coffin, she probably would be claustrophobic. As for EJ, I'm trying to figure out his motive. Why would he pay Anna five million dollars when he already has his hands on his daughter? He could have easily hid her away without anyone knowing it. I guess we'll find that out later. The babyswitch story had became a little stale for my taste. But, this latest development has revived my interest in it. The big question that remains is how Nicole will get out of prison. I'm still loving the Bo/Hope/Carly storyline. The only weak point is that I don't think that Hope and Justin have chemistry. The quad would balance out if they shared chemistry like Bo/Carly do. I think that I would actually like Rafe if he were paired with someone other than Sami. Sami can suck the life out of anybody. Plus, I never dig Sami in any relationship. I think that Lucas was probably the only one who could at least make me tolerate her. I guess I just don't like Sami regardless of her storyline or who she is paired with. The teen storyline needs to fall off the nearest cliff. It is so booooring. I just can't handle it. |

Glad I'm not the only one. That would be incredibly soapy, and is sort of twisted, but I could get on board. At least until it blew up if/when Tony returned. |

I'm not sure myself but my guess is this is at the Salem Inn. Wouldn't Carbo be drinking beer in the living room or kitchen rather than the bedroom if they were at Bo's house. |

I actually thought something might have happened while they were comforting each other. :laugh: EJ made it sound like he saw the tacky Bora Bora mansion. Ok when and why?? Maybe there was comfort sex in there somewhere. EJ does like older woman. |

Took me a minute to figure out what Arianna had to do with this. :D (the EJ/Arianna shippers have already co-opted that name, instead of ejari, which I think they should be called). I need this affair to happen just for the EJ/Stefano/Kate/Anna scene, alone. |

Yeah, they should go with Ejari as their port. No, no, no! if they ever went Ejanna it would have to be a secret, it's too dirty for it to be ever talked about. |
