Maybe it shouldn't be used at all. Ejanna sounds rather like a, er, body part. :P |

That's exactly why there has to be a fallout. It's too dirty and soapy to pass up. Maybe Kate realizing what they're up to with Syd, and tracking them down, catching them in the act and blackmailing them. Maybe I should start a campaign. j/k Edited by six, Jan 8 2010, 08:36 PM.

It would've worked better if Tony were still alive. Two DiMeras fighting over the same woman. It would be a fight to the death! |

I hope so. I thought the room looked familiar, but then I feel that way about most of the sets. I always think Anna is at the Horton cabin for some reason. |

I enjoyed today's show. I loved Viv and Carly's scenes in the elevator. I thought the flash backs were a great touch. Viv's earrings looked alot like sharp crosses or swords. I hope they were swords. Viv eating crackers while tormenting Carly was hilarious. I loved it when she offered Carly one. lol I really enjoyed the scenes with Maggie and Hope. These actresses really shined. Maggie's farewell to Mickey as they were wheeling him off reminded me of my Grandma when my Grandpa passed away. She did much the same thing. She talked to him like he could still hear, and she even kissed him goodbye. Her last words to him were, "Goodbye Jim." I just thought the scene was very realistic and well done. I don't care if Ej is right or wrong when that man held that freaking cute little baby my heart melted like a big stick of butter. I am rooting for him. I am really enjoying Rafe being in the dark and Sami being the dork with that damned awful ponytail/braid, which has me itching my scalp everytime I see it. Screw Safe! Anna...Can we keep her? I just loved the interaction between Ej and Anna. I think they are fun as a team. I only wish Tony was alive to be a part of this. Anna cracking on Sami was delicious. Made me grin from ear to ear. I think the kidnapping crappola needs to hurry up and wrap up...but honestly, I don't really understand what the point of any of this was? It doesn't make any sense. Stupid plot twist, really. |

Haven't seen today's show yet. Is Sami's weird braid hair gone yet? My mom caught like five minutes of Days yesterday and the first thing out of her mouth is "What's wrong with her hair?" Edited by IMissAremid, Jan 8 2010, 10:20 PM.

There arent many Horton's left that can fuck a Brady without it being incest. They just need more interesting standalone characters, and actors to play them that arent lifeless. Edited by Drew, Jan 8 2010, 10:52 PM.

Who says they have to screw? Anyway, standalone non-familial characters are fine, but I think it's stupid to put 'em all in a quad together. There has to be characters involved that viewers actually have a connection with, otherwise people just won't care. Nu-nu-nu-nu-nu-Will barely gets any focus and truth be told, most people don't care about him either, so yeah... it's falling flat. |

In their minds Will is that anchor. But you're right, the recasts - not to mention not even living in salem for the last 2 years, leaves no connection to him. But bad young actors thrown into front burner material with no connection to the existing canvas is a chronic problem for the show as long as I've watched it. Belle, Shawn, Phillip, Mimi, Brady and Chloe were fucking awful. Max, Chelsea and Stephanie were the same. And Melanie, Chad, Mia, Will, Nathan and Gabi are little better. Though atleast this Melanie girl has some potential if given a couple years.

Today's show was awesome! The emotions were everywhere! EJ was awesome today...royally fucking with Sami's head! I loved it! Absolutely unforgivable! How in the world did they get that toddler to lie in JS's arms like that? The awwww factor was high! Didn't see the sexual chemistry of EJanna, but it was good to see EJ on his game again, even smiling that evil smile of his! Loved the Anna smack down of Sami! Great scenes! I might be converting from Sydole to SydJ! LOL! Heck, I'll just take both! Vivian freaked me out today with her white ass face and crazy hair and taunting of Carly. And Carly needs some bangs or something...her hair looked like shit today too. Sami had me fuming by not confiding in Rafe. I am not his biggest fan and tired of Sami fawning all over him, but in this case, he has been the only one who has shown progress in the Sydnapping with the leads and developments. After all Sami has done against EJ, she is stupid to trust him now. Maggie had me sniffling too...I just wish we would have had more scenes of Mickey/Maggie in the past year. All I remember from Mickey was when EJ worked for him and prior to that, the Bonnie fiasco. I missed alot of the Mickey/Maggie early years, so it is hard to feel the emotional sadness of a character death when I haven't been very invested in him. I do love Maggie, so it affects me to see her so sad, but other than that... I totally ffed through Will and Mia. Couldn't care less about those two! Looking forward to next week. Thrilled that I am able to get back into the Sydnapping! Can't wait to see what happens next! |

^after staring at it this long, I don't know if I am so opposed to the big nasty style as I am to the awful color and bad grey roots. The whole thing is a cluster fuck, but it's a neat twist to a ponytail. no pun! :) |

I thought I was the only one that noticed! Sydney looked pissed off during the whole eppy...when EJ would say all his crap and they would pan to her little face it looked like she was thinking 'Tell me this storyline isn't going to drag on any longer and Im not just going to be stuck in scenes with just you and Anna?' :lol: :lol: Sydney needs her mother and looked so sad today almost as if she is connected to Nicole and in some way sensed that they were going to be separated for a long time.' Those babies needs a contract! Sydney today was such a contrast from the happy babbling when she was sitting in Sami's lap the day Rafe brought her home :wub: And the adorable grins she was giving to everyone from her crib at the Brady reunion! :wub: Sydney needs to go home to Sami like it or not for the 2-hours she was there before being kidnapped again she was happy :lol: |

I had just the reverse reaction. It sounded chilling and scary. And I just Loved Loved Loved how every "scene" of Sydney in her crib while Daddy was flouncing around had Sydney SCOWLING. That baby never scowls. She is always shown so peppy and smiling and happy. Enter Daddy Elvis and his bellowing and that smile got turned upside down. They appeared to use the same Sydney clip repeatedly and she was not a Happy Camper. |

That is my only quibble with the entire Dead Mickey scenes thus far. Maggie has been a part of Alice's life for over 30 years. The two women were scene-partners for much of the 1980s-1990s-2000s. They turned Shenanigans into "Alice's Restaurant" which led Maggie to her successful career with Tuscany, then Chez Rouge. They both invested in Countess Wilhelmina Cosmetics as Billie's Silent Partners. When Tom died, Maggie always had way more scenes with Alice than Mickey ever had. I thought it was a nice touch when Maggie at first said that they couldn't tell Alice, because she is so frail. I was actually surprised they used such a powerful word. A very natural response from someone who has been Alice's "daughter" all these years. And a natural, irrational moment for a devastated widow. Maggie and Hope should go together to tell Alice. Of course, I imagine the reason they didn't plot it that way is that Hope will be offscreen in the next episode while Doug and Julie arrive to tend to Maggie. And Hope has her own mini-drama in store, so she can't be burdened with Maggie Care. And since it appears this day won't be a Salem MonthDay, I suppose Maggie will have time off-screen with Alice. Not a major quibble. Elvis as Mastermind Sydnapper....well, that's another story. Channeling Gomer Pyle: Surprise Surprise, a DiMera kidnaps a Brady. Just like Stefano kidnapped Sami and Eric as newborns. And Stefano kidnapped Carrie as a tween. And Stefano kidnapped Baby Joe from the University Hospital Seventh Floor. And kidnapped Roman. And kidnapped Marlena to be his Parisian Queen Of The Night. And kidnapped Hope and held her at Maison Blanche. And like TonyAndre kidnapped Caroline and kept her prisoner with Victor for almost a year in a EuroTrash Castle. And like Elvis kidnapped Steve Johnson (OK, Brady by marriage) after Lawrence Alamain stole the casket. And like Elvis kidnapped Stephanie and had her Owen-Morgued. I suppose its a rite of passage. You aren't truly a Brady until you get kidnapped by a DiMera. |

I'm not so sure I want to see another bitchy teenager... unless Chris and his writers connect it with history and have Sami warning Will about Mia. You know, the old "I was just like that at her age" type of scene. I wonder if they'll work that in there? |
