Given the propensity of the writing staff to throw "twists" into the story, I'm on the "Stefano kidnaps Sydney from Anna and EJ and fakes her death" train. EJ will start feeling guilty about keeping Sydney from Sami (since he's having "feelings" for her again). Just when he's about to bring Sydney home, Stefano finds Anna and he takes Sydney from her. The mad search ensues again, only to find the bloody clothes and have Sydney presumed dead. EJ feels wretchedly guilty, he and Sami bond during their mourning, Sami still blames Rafe, etc., etc. Then just as EJ and Sami are growing closer, Nicole remembers Anna which she tells Rafe which leads him to somehow find out about EJ's role in everything and, depending on whether the monkeys really are ready to end this story, also leads to Rafe finding Sydney.
If the show were really smart and/or was sure they had time, they'd have Stefano keep Sydney for years, then have her turn up all properly DiMera-fied and hating both her parents. but that would put the s/l in a nutshell and that is not what Corday said.

What do you mean about it "probably?" That wasnt what KC said about the bloody clothes. That someone's hopeful speculation. Until its spoiled that Steffy planted the clothes, I'm on EJ as the one to plant the clothes.
What would be cool is if Mr. "Seamless Plan" is basking in the light of the good citizens of Salem, taking in their condolences, THEN, calling Anna to check up on Sydney, only to find out that Anna doesnt have her???? Now, therein lies his catch 22....does he blow his whole cover to have help finding Sydney, would they even believe him (man who cried wolf/baby?) or would he make and excuse, leave and go off to find her himself?
Well it doesn't specifically state that EJ planted the bloody clothes in the river so that theory is as good as any and I would expect it possible that Syd does disappear ala Stefano, leaving EJ shitting his pants wondering where she is. But I expect that there will be some random, twisty motive and this will all make no sense. Anna will be proven a stunt casting for ratings and one day next year we will understand what the hell went on when Syd returns from the Salem River sorased to age 24 only to become helplessly entwined in the Quad of Suck trying to battle Steph and Mel for PhillyK's heart.
Hopefully EJAMI wishes, Corday does say EJ will do it at all costs... sounds like it means even if he can't have Sami. He wants that little girl and the truth is even if he returned that girl today the truth could come out and EJAMI would be down the crapper. The only way is to kill her off so Sami will stop looking... Sami can suck it as far as I'm concerned and I'm completely fine with EJ raising his own little hellion.

Stefano has been acting suspicious of EJ and told Rafe that Ej was "duplicitous". stefano had that same look when he started having Nicole followed. Stefano could very well already have his foil ready.

Maybe they are going to go the more straightforward route and have EJ fake Sydney's death, thereby torturing Sami while apparently also falling in love with her again. I just think there is a whole lot more mileage storywise to go a different direction.

Posted Image
It could go either way at this point, but I agree that Stefano has been strangely quiet and nearly absent from the story of late - except for the comment here and there about teaching EJ a lesson from the master as well as his comments to Rafe about EJ being duplicitous.
It makes sense to me that the next 'big twist' (my new most hated word...right there with 'feelings', 'vendetta' and 'Stephanie') will be Stefano pulling off a Sydnapping...leaving EJ desperate, scared and guilt ridden. Much like we saw Nicole after Grace died. Thus begins the longer story arc - EJ and Sami developing a relationship while he's guilt ridden over his deceit.
Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

AZ brought out the best in JS. Those scenes at the initial blowout-when he finds out that she lied about the miscarriage were classic soapy goodness.
Can you say that AS brought out anything other then OTT hand shaking? How terrible were those scenes were she screamed out to him that she kept Grace from him?
For me, JS started his weird acting moves a little after Nicole came into the picture. IDK if I give Ali S. credit for bringing out the best in James but I did think he was a good actor with and independtly from her. Maybe because when Nicole "came in to the picture" they started a new storyline where James had to work with different material and not play EJ the same way he had before. It had nothing to do with AZ, if anything, she brought out the good in James when he for most part of the storyline was bad.

I phased out somewhere at the point where it said Sami is with Rafe. So EJ starts having feelings, who cares? And if Sydney went missing EJ would start freaking out and everybody would grow suspicious. What is so wrong with EJ being evil, I mean think about it, either way it's EJ's fault. If EJ would have never taken that baby from Nicole, she would have returned her to Sami and him. If Stefano takes that baby, it's EJ's fault. And I don't think Sami would ever forgive him... Doesn't really matter if EJ did this, cause even if he didn't it was his own selfishness that put her in this postion. He could have called the police, he could have went there himself. He could have sent one of his men, he could have demanded full custody....

How many times can one girlbe stolen from her mother? :sleep:

I didn't say AZ was the cause of it, I said Nicole as a refrences in the timeline. I saw it before his material changed, it started out with little things and just progressed.

He could have sent one of his men, he could have demanded full custody.... I'm not sure what your point is in the context of what we're discussing. I like EJ being a bad ass so I didn't say anything was wrong with it. But planting bloody clothes and allowing people to think Sydney died isn't bad ass...and it doesn't get him what I would think his ultimate goal would be. I can't imagine he intends to hide Sydney forever - what about Johnny? Is he going to raise his children completely independent of one another? Never have them interact? That seems odd to me. And if he is indeed recognizing that he still loves Sami I don't see how it helps him to then have her believe Sydney is gone. If he hated her, maybe. But even then, there would still be the issue with Johnny.
No doubt EJ has plenty of blame to carry regardless of how it happens. As do many of the other characters in the story - Nicole and Sami, in particular. Whether any of them end up forgiving each other down the road is up to the writers. But just as they had the audience recognize that along the way Nicole came to regret her actions and felt remorse, I suspect that EJ having Sydney stolen out from under him and then facing the fear that she truly could have been hurt or killed will give the writers the opportunity to show the same thing with him.

I stopped trying to get most of the s/ls to make sense on this show a long time ago. These spoilers are no different.
One thing I do know, is no-one & no action is irredeemable if there is good wriitng. As we don't have that, EJ's character seems to be up the wazoo without a paddle!
I'm in the camp that doesn't believe it's EJ that puts the clothes in the river, but it may be called Camp Denial. Time will tell.
I'm definitely Team Ejami (anyone surprised), but I don't want JS/EJ's lot to be nothing but chase, & never get the girl. To be honest, Sami really isn't that much of a "prize" at present.
We all know EJ loves Sami, they've never missed an opportunity to remind us. But the show needs to "shit or get off the pot", so to speak, because there really is no legs in this story without Sami's feelings changing.
The fact that EJ's changing "feelings" foreshadows a longer story arc again is ambiguous. Could be good or bad. Whatevs.
I'd like to think it's good, but if it's not, I'd like to see EJ out of Sami's romantic orbit for good & someone new brought on to the show for him. I simply don't see any chemistry with LH, but that may be because I can't stand her Bratz doll like appearance. I liked the original Arianna better.
And Kenny, sad that I am, I'm still interested in this s/l There is at least one person left! Btw, your "Sami is a cancer post" made me laugh!

I don't know that so please don't speak for me. Corday talks about "developing" feelings and "changing" feelings, which in and of itself suggests to me that EJ currently doesn't feel any love for Sami though he will apparently feel that way in the future. Not to mention, his actions towards her, which matter more to me than feelings, don't bespeak love at all. There was a time when EJ didn't shut up about his love for Sami but those days are long gone. Even after the first reveal and Sami wasn't even with Rafe, EJ didn't tell Sami he still/always loved her and made no move to try to win her back. If ever they were going to try to rebuild EJami that seemed like the ideal time to do it, so their failure to do it then and their waiting until now when he's kidnapped her child, tortured her by pretending some unknown killer has her and at every turn reminds her that any harm to Sydney will be on her head, and presumably or at least possibly fakes their child's death in order to get the FBI to stop looking for her and to be able to keep her for himself--which Corday says is most important to him--well, that just has me incredibly puzzled as to where they're going with this storyline and with the character of EJ in general.

"Melanie and Phillip's wedding is a big story in February. It's the match that lights the fuse for a lot of firecrackers that are going to go off, " promises Executive Producer Ken Corday.
Melanie/Phillip Wedding: Something very dramatic will happen at the wedding. Vivian has her eye set on destroying Carly's child; her plans escalate and come to a head. Carly makes it to the wedding, but mistakes are made and blame is on the wrong people. It ends in a shocking act of violence. Before getting married, Melanie writes a letter to Nathan telling him her true feelings for him. Meanwhile, Stephanie wants Nathan and takes a turn to the darker side.
Hope/Bo/Carly: Hope finds out Carly's secret (Melanie is Carly's daughter), but Carly has one last secret about her child that will change many lives. Bo and Carly continue to grow closer, but how will he react when Carly and Hope are both in danger?
EJ/Sami/Rafe: Surprise, surprise -- EJ begins to develop feelings for Sami again. EJ is shocked by this development as it becomes more and more apparent how he feels about the emotional Ms. Brady. Sami and Rafe are together, but EJ's feelings are changing and it will likely develop into a longer story arc. Meanwhile, things intensify when Sydney's bloody clothes are found in the Salem river and she is declared legally dead. However, things are not as they seem -- EJ is the mastermind behind the kidnapping and he's in cahoots with Anna. He wants Sydney for himself at all costs.
Daniel/Chloe: Chloe is overjoyed when she finds out she's pregnant! So the writers are throwing EJ under the bus again to make Rafe the hero???
The writers totally suck for this!
Chloe pregnant? okay......i'm not sure if I should believe that since corday likes to bullshit in his lame previews. if it's true, I hope they don't kill off the baby.

We all know EJ loves Sami, they've never missed an opportunity to remind us. But the show needs to "shit or get off the pot", so to speak, because there really is no legs in this story without Sami's feelings changing.
I don't know that so please don't speak for me. Corday talks about "developing" feelings and "changing" feelings, which in and of itself suggests to me that EJ currently doesn't feel any love for Sami though he will apparently feel that way in the future. Not to mention, his actions towards her, which matter more to me than feelings, don't bespeak love at all. There was a time when EJ didn't shut up about his love for Sami but those days are long gone. Even after the first reveal and Sami wasn't even with Rafe, EJ didn't tell Sami he still/always loved her and made no move to try to win her back. If ever they were going to try to rebuild EJami that seemed like the ideal time to do it, so their failure to do it then and their waiting until now when he's kidnapped her child, tortured her by pretending some unknown killer has her and at every turn reminds her that any harm to Sydney will be on her head, and presumably or at least possibly fakes their child's death in order to get the FBI to stop looking for her and to be able to keep her for himself--which Corday says is most important to him--well, that just has me incredibly puzzled as to where they're going with this storyline and with the character of EJ in general. Sorry Paxton, I didn't mean to offend & I wasn't trying at all to negate or not say that he didn't loved Nicole when they were together. But I do think they have always kept a subtext running about his "feelings" for Samantha. Maybe that's just acting choices, but they're there.
As you can see from my op, I'm in no way convinced on where they're going with this either, but I do think it will resolve the whole "will they, won't they" in terms of ejami for good (which means at least 18 months in soap terms).
I'm just happy for that to happen.

I'm just happy for that to happen. Sorry on my end--I think I have a fever and I was a little bitchy, looking back at my post. Didn't mean to be. It's funny that you say it's the acting choices, because I feel the exact opposite--I haven't seen JS sell me on any EJami love in two years. But, mileage varies, no big deal.
In a way I think you and I share the same frustration, which is the point I made earlier in this thread: we've seen this story before and it wasn't satisfying the first time around. Unless and until Sami decides she loves EJ, this is same old same old and in my opinion, it's a waste of JS and EJ. The reason I stopped liking EJami two years ago (well, a major reason anyway) was that I became convinced Sami didn't and never would love EJ. And now, two years later, after all the hideous crap that's gone down between them, it seems even less likely. But, hey, who knows? If they get together I'll just FF them, the world won't end for me. :P

WOW, so EJ goes so far as to make Sami think Sydney is dead? YIKES!
And Daniel is going to get two kids in one year? Did EJ pass the super sperm to Dr Dan? LOL
Thanks for posting the clip.
Will EJ be acting all devasted at the memorial service? I think Nicole is going to help return Sydney to Sami and expose EJ...then her redemption will be complete.....and as far as EJ's feelings....as long as these spoilers talk about EJ's feelings...who cares?
ITA, I think Nicole will remember the voice as Anna's and tell Chloe. Chloe then tells Brady and he comes to see Nicole in jail. She tells him that she doesnt want to ruin his relationship with Ariana, yada, yada, yada...but Brady really want to help! Brady takes that info and gives it to Rafe. Rafe has other info and they put it together but dont tell Sami until they find where Anna hid EJ. EJ to busy acting grieved and comforting Sami, all the while Sydney's getting sick. SuperRafe and Brady find Anna, who was going to take Syd to the doctors because she doesnt look well....and they take her to Salem..everyone is SHOCKED...Sydney's alive! So Sydney's bloodwork is taken and a double shock- she's not Sami's but Nicoles...and that's how Nicole is freed! TA-DAH! LOL.....Just speculating!LOL
The problem with this statement is the spoiler said Sami and Rafe are together, yay!... Strange enough I peered into my crystal ball and called this... The fake death, I said either they would kill her off, or it would be made to seem that way. People said that he would return the baby and be her hero. I said, no no, it doesn't fit, he doesn't seem to want to share this baby with Sami, no way, no how! He goes from torturing the town, Sami, Rafe, Brady, The Brady family.... yadda yadda yadda... with a fake kidnapping to a faked death who does he think he is Stefano! Maybe he'll take her to that island where the Brady's, Horton, & Devereaux's were being held when Marlena was shown to be a killer. Something else I called that the Sami/Rafe/EJ triangle would be all EJ concerning the triangle.... with EJ getting more and more obsessed with Sami. I now predict Sami to be kidnapped, womannapped... you get my drift. So when does it stop, when does enough become enough... When does Sami stop deserving this! I agree. Spoiler: click to toggle I also heard that Stefano is on to EJ- -so he could play a major role here, as he doesn't want Sami with EJ. Maybe he will be the one to find out where Sydney is hidden and somehow, secretly, lead the FBI there to rescue Sydney. He doesn't want to be without his granddaughter and he already says he needs to teach Ej a lesson. i also agree with whoever said that Nicole will remember the voice she heard and Rafe will put it all together.
