Today's episode again left me wondering whether Sami has subscribed to a scarf-of-the-day mail order service. She must have an entire closet in her home just for scarves. Speaking of which, what the hell does Sami do for a living these days?

Those without Magic Sperm need not apply.

Hey, I like the comment about the Scarf-of-the-day, Matt. (Couldn't find your original post). Ya know, maybe we all ought to send a scarf to the studio. Not only Sami needs one, but Arianna wears them, Mia wears them.........they can declare a Daytime Royalty Scarf Day, a hidden nod to some loyal fans. :P

I love seeing Rafe and Sami's "perfect" relationship, conflicted with trust issues. There's no Sami Brady relationship without a breach of trust and it's about time Rafael found that out.

I'm still not a fan of Melanie's hatred for Carly. I understand that she considers Hope family through Maggie, and that would be a great and valid reason for her to hate Carly now, but that hasn't been the case. She's hated Carly since she bumped into her at Java Cafe. It just makes everything seem so forced. I think it would've been better to have Melanie meet Carly on good terms, and then find out about Carly sleeping with Bo the way she did, and telling Carly that she was completely wrong about her and wanted nothing to do with her. Now that I could believe.
I think hated is a strong word. She dislikes Carly because from her POV Carly is a totall weirdo. She first approached Mia, a stranger, and when they somewhat connected she immediatelly started to act like they will be best friends from now on and even attempted to move in with her. Thatīs not normal. And when it didnīt work with Mia she switched her focus on Mel and now practically stalks her, tries to force herself into her life and gives her advices nobody asked for.

Mel knows very little about Carlyīs past. She knows she and Maggie knows each other, she lived in Salem years ago, she stabbed her husband, she has an affair with a married man and very creepy fixation for young stranger girls. Mel does everything in her power to make it clear she wants to be let alone, yet Carly returns again and again. No wonder Mel has no idea WTF is wrong with her.

I don't think so. Melanie didn't give two figs about Carly til that damn coffee incident. She made a point of blasting her about that for some time after that.

It would be ok to have Mel blow her stack for the coffee thing but then later (and I think she did to a certain extent) realize she over reacted. Instead of out and out hating Carly, they could have her creeped out by her. When Melanie and Mia didn't want Carly to move it, they overdid it with Mia hating her for being "all up in my business", Melanie could have just played the jealousy and selfish card to convince Maggie not to let her move it. Then have her hate carly for sleeping with bo in solidarity for Hope as a Horton.

Melanie doesn't over react or over dramatize things does she? Must be a hereditary trait.

I just think that the inexperience of MB. Overacting is easy to do (and she tends to do it a lot.) I think she's going to the AS school of acting- address unknown?!

I seriously believe in the magic of scarves, so I would totally go for a Scarf-Day!

I think she's trying to emmulate Jennifer Aniston too much and doing a bad job of it.

I get more of a junior Debra Messing vibe from her, but maybe I'm just confused by the dyed-red hair.

Melanie's reaction to Carly doesn't bother me too much. The day of the coffee incident was a case of having a bad day and a bad thing happens and you lash out. I think there was even a line later from Melanie about her having over-reacted. But then she goes home and there's this stranger again, who is planning to move in and seems overly friendly to two much younger girls and is way too interested in Mia's problems, so Melanie goes into a protective mode. Then this strange woman starts hanging around Melanie, getting way too interested in her life as well. While all this is going on, Melanie begins hearing rumblings about this Carly woman killing her husband and then running off to Salem to ask her ex for help. Lawrence's abuse is probably not widely known so Melanie may not even be aware of it. Add on top of all that Carly's affair with Bo, who is the husband of Maggie's niece--Maggie, who is her much loved friend and mother figure. I can't blame Melanie for being freaked out by Carly; in fact, if my daughter came home and started telling me about some strange woman who was acting the way Carly has been towards Melanie, I'd tell her to buy a can of Mace and keep 911 on the screen of her cell phone.

The scarf thing is becoming very distracting. Hope, Sami, Mia, Gabby, Ariana...pretty soon baby Sydney will probably have one, too.

Sami, shut up! And, Rafe, you have no room to talk about keeping secrets. And he just got reinstated with the FBI and is using them to keep tabs on his girlfriend? Isn't that kind of thing what got him fired in the first place?

Ok, does anyone else think that the guy that plays Gus looks a bit like a younger Michael Sabatino? And this guy is asking too many questions that make sense and looks at Viv like shes crazy? DUDE, tone it down on the crazy-face, she's your "madame!"

I love it every time Vivian calls Phil her son!

Maybe Sami was going shopping for another scarf? This SL sucks w/out Nicole! I almost was going to FF. Dont worry Sami, EJs not going to kill his own daughter, LOL!

Are we going to get the creepy music every time Anna's on and her countless whining about when this is going to be over, cause I'm sick of the same line over and over and over! And just why is Anna leaving Syd by herself? EJ can surely hire someone to be on the INSIDE of the house? I doubt that Anna is going to be the one to pick up the money.

MB was OTT today and I really dont like this weak Carly. I do like her when she was talking to Brady about the wedding. I actually really enjoyed his knowing about her nursing and how she beleaguered the point until she realized that she could have a leave.

ARGHHHHHH...stop crying LH!!!! So her whole reasoning behind her going switch is taking the drugs off the streets of Salem? REALLY? I thought it was to get out of jail. I guess its both? Boy, shes gonna really hate EJ then?!

I really liked the Maggie and Hope scenes. Pretty hair alert-both had nice styles! Isnt it just a tad hard for Hope to do what Maggie's suggesting since she just learned that he slept with Carly? I get the conversation and sentiment, but I wouldnt be in such a mood to fight for this man.

Melanie drives me nuts. Unless she is yelling, she talks like she is a stupid little child. I hate that slow drawn out, aren't I adorable, baby talk. It makes me sick.

God, the dialogue between Bo and Carly was boring as hell. She whines and wimpers. He reassures... blah blah blah...This shit has been said before many times.

Gus is wearing purple.

Yeah, Rafe is a kind of a dick.

But, he is right. Sami should have told him. I'd be pissed too.

The guy playing Troy is a horrid actor...but man he is cute.

Rotox....Typical Brady...I can do nothing, but can try to do everything...or tried to do everything, but ended up doing nothing. The whole time he was talking to Ari I just wanted him to shut up and get off my screen.

The best scenes lately have all had Maggie in them. I enjoyed the Maggie and Hope chat.

I love Ejami scenes. Even when they are fighting I am entertained.

The show for the most part stunk today. I hope tomorrow is better.

Rafe is the point person in charge of the kidnapping case. His job is to find Sydney and bring her home and find out who the kidnapper is. If he has to have Sami-- or anyone else in Salem followed for that matter, to accomplish that, it is perfectly within his rights as an agent to do so. This is isn't about following his girlfriend- it is about finding Sydney. He has known from the get go that Sami was not being honest with him and that something was up with EJ liquidating the Dimera assets. Rafe is doing his job.

GT needs to earn his keep and do some producing and some directing. MB needs to be toned the hell down because there is NO way she should be this upset about spilled coffee and her new BFF Hope who, I believe, she has never shared a line with. Mel seemed overly adolescent today and for no reason should be marrying Philip. I couldn't even listen to her talk to Brady and that is generally a relationship I like for her.

I continue to hate Brianna. They suck. They suck bad, or as my grandmother would correct me, bad-ly. I want Ari to die. She sucks badly and is ruining my enjoyment of Brady. Yes I will blame only her.

Hope and Maggie's conversation was really enjoyable today and I'm glad that Maggie isn't taking much time off of busy-bodying to mourn.

I like Rafe a whole lot better when Sami is 'cheating' on him. He had good reason to be mad at her but his timing was shitty. Wouldn't it be reasonable to think the Sydnapper might be watching him hijack the plan and run with Syd in hand?

Boo on EJ for not forking out a few extra dollars for the 'inside the house' babysitter. What is up with that?

I agree with you about the Bo and Carly scenes. They were boring! I find Bo and Hope together are more interesting than those two. As for tomorrow's show it's not much better either.
Spoiler: click to toggle
The storyline is boring. They built it up to a crescendo and now it's falling flat. Dull and boring. I wish they would hurry up and reveal to all about Carly's daughter. I'm getting sick of hearing Bo saying he can't tell Carly's secret. I'm also tired of Hope saying she is going to find out Carly's secret and hasn't made any progress or done anything. This sl is going far too slow. It's getting boring! Knowing the writers Viv's revenge will probably be lame!

What is with people wearing purple on this show? First Hope now Gus?
Is that Tomlin's way of bringing more of a Passions feel to this show? Passions color was purple.
Geez I don't want this show turned into Passions!
And what's with Carly's clothes? Is the wardrobe department going broke?
She has worn the same clothes for the last 4 months? The black outfits been worn far too much.
Do these people ever go home and shower?
Everyone else seems to be wearing differnt outfits. I don't get why Carly is given the same outfits to wear?

[/quote]OMG, thought Kristian looked gorgeous in the purple. The purple tones in the eye makeup was good, too. Made me focus on something other than her skinniness. It's scary, because I'm super thin too - albeit, less than half her age, LOL, but geez - it's a wakeup call for down the road. 40 and skinny is NOT a good look.

Carly wore purple in a scene with Bo early on. Her boobs looked massive in that horrible top, hence why I haven't forgotten. It was a bad look, all around - very frumpy.

Haven't watched yet, but Bo and Carly's scenes are a bit on the snoozy side. I can see that, for sure. Bope's scenes are far from boring, but that's because they have all the angst, lol.

Edit: quoting is fucked up, sorry.

1. Eat healthy, and excecise for health because I was skinny too and at 34 and my metabolism changed.

2. LOL about "40 and skinny is not a good look". I had a friend in her 50's, she was built like Sherri Shepard, had killer legs but a big gut. She said she didn't want to lose weight because then her face would look deflate and "her wrinkles would stand out" so she opted for a tummy tuck/lip instead.
