Great post. And on not knowing EJ's motives - the little we've heard so far is all over the place. On one hand, he's saying this is going to be a happy ending for Sami, on the other, he's letting her call him for info a hundred times in a row, and faking Sydney's death? What's going on here? |

And Safe's relationship is based on honesty? :eyeroll: |

All I know is the show hasn't sucked this bad since they were all on Salem Island, and even then we had a little humour. I am not interested in any of this bullshit. Probably since Melanie and Nicole became the leading ladies, I've lost interest. This bs is what James Scott was all excited about? I'm sorry but the fact that Sydney has lived her entire life is disturbing to say the least. Her freaking legs will never work right. Put her in orthopedic splints now and throw all parties involved in jail. I wish I could throw Hackley and Corday for jail for crimes against humanity. :angry: |

I meant to say that Sydney has lived her whole life in a playpen. |

I dont know and frankly I dont care.I dont ship anyone and think Ejami and Safe suck equally. Safe is boring so I dont really pay any attention to them unless Im forced to. No relationship can work based on lies. Its just not real and nothing that happens with EJami will mean anything when the truth comes out. Edited by TINA222, Jan 20 2010, 05:19 PM.

Excellent assessment, and very interesting posts from everyone! I don't know how they plan to ever redeem EJ after all of this and have him mingle with the Bradys again, especially without him showing any remorse or guilt or anything. Unless they plan to make him the over the top villian like Stefano once was, but that seems to be a waste of JS's romancability. One of the very few ways this story could handle EJ would be for Nicole to bring him down. Especially since Sami is made out to be really pathetic in all of this. Nicole is fiercely protective of Sydney, and since she is very Dimera like (Stefano's words), she could be the one to switch it up on EJ and reveal Sydney and return her to the glitter. Then EJ and Nicole could have their entertaining showdowns as worth adversaries. Don't know how to get her out of prison though without EJ knowing. |

I would have been perfectly fine with having Nicole get away it until Sydney was 18. Even bad liars don't look guilty every time someone says "mom". They beat it into the ground. Going back to past s/l's, maybe they were better but I also think there something about reminiscing about 'the good ole days' where people gloss over the negative stuff too. |

Yes, Ej and Nicole should have worked on paper and for many people it did but for me everything that made EJ, EJ was gone. They let his character go to the wayside in order to develop Nicole which was necessary. |

Yeah, but I could easily believe that EJ did that for love...which both EJ and James explained. He truly fell for her and got that chance of a happy family that both never had. It also worked because both actors were compelling. 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? I cant wait for Nicole to come back and kick his ass! I want him in a cell and Nicole coming around to gloat!

Back to EJ......elsewhere it was brought up that Stefano is probably behind the bloody clothes in the river in order to undermine EJ's relationship with Sami. That actually seems right on track given Steffi recently challenged EJ about who is the master. Even so IF EJami is the path they want to pave I don't care about EJ's feelings.....Sami needs to start feeling them too. |

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? |

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. |

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. |

Except where would Stefano get the clothes and wouldn't EJ run to Sydney to check on her. And would Ej if he love Sami so much run and tell her not to dispair their daughter is alive... |

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. |

I also wish that Nicole had been able to keep Sydney. Sami has 3 other kids she never takes care of, at the very least one of the 4 deserves a decent parent that's there for them and doesn't just treat them like pawns. |

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... |

yes please. We need a bad-ass DiMera woman for once. Lexie will never stay on the dark side where she is actually entertaining. |
