Wow, Kate looks so good in that clip, thanks for posting. Looks like Ejami are going through the same thing Bope did with the kidnapping. i'm reasonably pleased that EJ had a spark of intelligence today. Hysterical Sami, I can do without. Safe had a nice scene together when she came home crying and tried to suck it up, beautifully done on AS' part. Kristian Alfonso is WONDERFUL right now and Peter Reckel too. Since this s/l has started, I continue to be impressed with her range as an actress, great nuances to her performances. Usually her too skinny look is distracting to me mainly because I can't help but think that she thinks she looks good but lately it has only added to her character, showing how much stress she is going through. When Bo and Justin were interacting, she looked guilty and worried that Bo was going to kick the shit out of Justin. I'm on pins and needles for one of them (Bo or Hope) to start acting crazy and borderline violent. I'm waiting for Bo just to get so frustrated that he grabs her roughly or throws a vase or something. When I see Bope fight, I buy that they have been in love and in a long marriage. Also, nice touches in the dialoge where Hope talks about being "Bo & Hope" the unit so long. I just wish they wouldn't have done the Billie and Patrick crap years ago but they still can make it work with good dialogue and stellar acting. They also need to make more headway with the Bope confrontations, it's getting repetetive and there's some real meat to pick at. OMG, how pretty is Ari's hair in that braid, I bet it's her own hair and not a headband...glorious! Even Gabbi's is cute. I see from the preview they are going overboard with the braids. A big YIKES! to Sami's hair in the mowhawk braid, only to add to the horror is the AWFUL hair color. Why is Ari so down on Chad now but she had no problem letting her sis go to the dance with him. The cumbia music was good, I like that Days is playing the latino side of things, they are a little corny about it but C for effort. LOL at the murder for hire. He looked like a serpent. The actor would be good on V. I have a question: Why do people keep saying Ari was brought in for Max? Who said that? I have a hard time picturing Felisha and Darin as a romantic pairing.

LOL (at Kenny's post.) I didn't like the trivia at first but it really grew on me as the weeks went on. As long as it wasn't with boring people like Mia and Will, most of the actors seemed to have a little fun with it. As for today's show... I watched it. But I was doing other stuff. I can't say it was that memorable other than I enjoyed EJ-Sami scheming (whatever EJ is up to in all of this) and laughed when Rafe was confused thinking Sami was still in the apartment and Brady had to show him the note that she left. So glad Mr. Observant is back on the FBI payroll. LOL. I also loved Anna throwing shit back in Sami's face about the stunts she pulled in the past when Sami tried to get all high and mighty indignant. Edited by IMissAremid, Jan 5 2010, 07:16 PM.

^ Me too. I loved all of Anna's snarky comments and the look on her face as she was talking to Sami. |

Anna did get in a few good digs at Sami today. I'm blah on Gabi when she's in the teen scene. However, I like her in scenes with Arianna. There is a nice sister chemistry there. I have been impressed with the acting by all involved in the Bo/Hope/Carly/Justin quad and agree that KA has been doing some great work in this story. |

That was HILARIOUS. I think it's on youtube. Someone posts all the trivia segments on there. I also liked the ones where we got Sami, Kate, and Nicole and Vivian, Carly, and Kate together. Any one that featured Victor or Stefano (particularly Victor/Nicole and the one where Stefano popped up and scared the hell out of Nathan and Melanie in the Dimera mansion) are great too. |

Today's episode was eh. Arianna...okay. I think if they would give her something better to do I would like her. I even semi-enjoy her interactions with Gabi. But most everything she's doing is just fluff, and I don't buy her in the drug dealer role. I'm hoping it will get better for her soon, because I never expected to come around to her at all. I may not stay around. I don't have much to say about Bo and Hope. In a way, they've done a decent job. Some days I'm on Bo's side. Some day's I'm on Hope's. But for the most part I'm just frustrated. KA looked good today, though, and her hair was down. She also had on a scarf, and it didn't look like crap on her. The other scarf was being worn by AS and her yellow hair (did it look more yellow to anyone else?), and it did look bad. It was different than the others, though. Sami was such an idiot on the phone. I'm tired of her talking about kidnappers and to kidnappers like she has never kidnapped. I really appreciated Anna's responses. It's interactions like that that really make me think the intention has not been to turn Sami into a heroine. She still hasn't done anything particularly heroine-worthy and her past keeps coming back to bite her. If it was just one of those, maybe but both...I don't know. EJ was a jerk. So was Rafe. What kind of question is "are you okay?" I realize she's been fine all along, but seriously. The Maggie scenes were kind of sad/funny. Especially when she said they were going to start living life. |

Since the kidnapper knows so much about Sami and her past antics, I am surprised that Sami doesn't at least realize that she might know the person. Maybe share that with Rafe, or hint around it to Rafe...she doesn't have to flat out tell him. I always thought the reason Sami acted like such a damsel was because she loved Rafe and wanted to be protected...but she is still acting kind of stupid even with the kidnapper and EJ, so it seems they are writing her to be a little more dense and not as schemey as she used to be. I always got the impression that PR or Roman didn't have as much fun doing the trivia as some of the others. Taylor Spriettler looked bored doing them too, but I think that is her normal look. I loved AZ and JC when they did theirs or Kate/Sami/Nicole one...some of the actors looked like they just went with the cheese. |

I like the Bo and Hope stuff today it was good! The only thing that let this episode down was Justin's sleaziness at the end when he bought up the kiss. When is this guy going to understand that Hope doesn't love him and loves her husband? I am starting to really not like Justin now. They are turning him into a sleaze. It's not cool to be going after your cousins wife! Justin really needs to get a life and stay away from Hope! I'm glad he is not living with her now! |

My primary problem with Hope is that this is definitely NOT the Hope I grew up with. The Hope I've always known woud've chased after Bo to the ends of the earth and the only way she ever would've left him would either be as part of some self-sacrifice to protect him or because something had happened to make Hope think that Bo didn't want or love her anymore. I love watching old Days clips on youtube. There's one youtube channel (the name is escaping me at the moment even though I've got it favorited) that runs themed clips in chronological sequence. I watched poor Doug have a heart attack after nearly beating down Bo's door to get to teen Hope on the night of her 18th birthday party. Good lord, now THAT was Days. They've even got the fabulous scenes where Alice helps Bo break Roman out of jail with her baking. |

That's what frustrates me, too. I keep yelling at my TV in frustration because Hope is simply giving up. I don't understand why she isn't fighting for her man! She kind of addressed this in her conversation with Justin a few days ago, right before she caught Bo kissing Carly, but she didn't explain WHY she isn't willing to work things out this time. Bo--I can kind of understand why he's acting the way he is. Hope has walked out on him more than once and shown no willingness to work things out; she demands and gives ultimatums instead. And there's Carly, who right now is everything that Hope is not. I just don't understand what happened to feisty, loving Hope over the years. As someone who has watched her from the day she was born, I'm frustrated by what's happened to Hope in recent years. |

You are right. I have been with Bo and Hope from the beginning and this is definately not the Hope that I have watched all these years. She would never stop fighting for Bo. And this is not the Bo that I have watched all these years either. He would not be giving up so easy either. Funny, you mentioned Hope's 18th B-day and Doug beating the door down. I was just now watching some of these clips on the web. After watching these clips on the web, this current sl with Bo and Hope being separated makes no sense to me at all. Are we suppose to just believe that out of the blue Bo and Hope no longer are in love with each or no longer want to fight for their marriage ? I just don't buy this sl. |

Lauren Koslow was pretty funny with the snarky lines. I loved the one with Ari and Ali when they asked which guy all three characters had slept with. The answer was EJ, and Nicole goes "Oh, I forgot about Kate" and Lauren's like "I bet EJ hasn't." LOL too funny. There was also one about Kate's call-girl past with Joe and Lauren that was amusing... Here's the link on YT to the trivia: http://www.youtube.com/user/maej926#p/c/B0CA73C5B6673358 |

Well, I missed all that mainly because I wasn't born LOL, but I think they have addressed this. Hope said to Justin that the "old Hope" would have done all of those things. But you can't compare someone at 18/early 20's to mid-40's. People change, and that's what I see this story as being about... |

I really hated Sami today. I was getting so annoyed with her "need" to tell Rafe about the ransom note. This is the same woman that single-handedly got herself out of bind after bind and made those that crossed her lives a living hell. Now, all of a sudden, she needs her "hero" to do things for her. Give me a break! Is Anna broke or something? Wouldn't she have inherited Tony's money? Why does she need $5 million so badly? I actually liked Rafe being concerned for Arianna after hearing from Brady that he visited Nicole. And I liked Arianna being a big sister to Gabi. Consider me a fool, but I'm falling for the Hernandez family. They're growing on me. Same old, same old from Bo and Hope. I didn't really pay attention to their scenes today. |

I did too and I really think the Hernandez family could be a good things for Days but they need to be developed more. They made a mistake in trying to make them too mysterious and it almost seemed lazy making it too similar to Passions. There's still hope for them. |

A couple of really nitpick/detail things about today's ep really struck me and impressed me. First of all, they had Ari doing inventory at the Pub. Considering that it's the start of a new year, doing end of the year inventory is something that real people would actually do. It's a small detail that I'm impressed someone thought of. Second, although it wasn't addressed with dialogue, they had Rafe packing away the Christmas decorations in that big Rubbermaid container before his FBI buddy show up. It was another real-world moment that you NEVER see on a soap. Like I said, they were both pretty minor points, but the struck me as so realistic that it was unusual. |
