I hate using the word "retarded" to describe something, but in this case it fits.

This is retarded.
I hate that term, too, but I don't know of a better way to describe it.

I am a big fan of Rafe and GG, and I generally like his interviews, but this one is just off the wall. I know these scenes were filmed in late October or early November, so maybe he forgot what he filmed, or rewrites were done because none of what he said fits what we are seeing on our screens. It just simply hasn't been and isn't there.
I don't have issues with the actors for what they say in their interviews when they are trying to relay the story. I think they probably try to describe what's happening in the scenes, but most likely they are thinking WTF just like the rest of us. The writing for this is just so bad. I feel bad for CC and GG having to do any interviews at all with this crap.

After all... tomorrow is another day!

Still rooting for Cafe :peek: and not just because it's letting Sami get back to her scheming roots.

The hot office was corny as hell and the music sounded like a low-budget porn soundtrack, but this sounds cute and I love that my hunch on Rafe having a problem with what Sami was doing with Kate was right on the money!

I could barely type that up without puking. That is just sick....Me no likie!! :jedi: :badmood: :soapbox:
This is a WTF interview. Since when has Sami been harping on Rafe about working with Carrie? Wasn't it just the other day that Carrie, Rafe, Bo, and Hope were in the Brady Pub talking about how Sami is ok with them working together? Haven't Carrie and Rafe talked about how she is ok with it and they can't believe it? Now, we read she has been harping on Rafe about working with Carrie? I sure must have missed that.

I don't ever recall Sami making Rafe feel inadequate because he didn't have a job. Rafe may have felt inadequate, but wasn't Sami telling him it was Ok, that he would find something soon and not to worry about it?

Rafe has always been evaluated by Sami? Where did that come from all of a sudden? If anything, Rafe evaluated Sami at the beginning of their relationship.

Rafe has known since he beginning that Sami was deceitful. Didn't she hide her pregnancy from EJ? Didn't she constantly try to sneak out of the safehouse? Didn't she shoot EJ in the head and cover it up? He didn't seem to have a problem with it then, but now he doesn't like her being deceitful?

I get where all this is heading and why they are doing it, but come on, Mardar, at least make this true to history. None of this makes any sense with the history of the two characters together.

Not only has he known about her lying and scheming, he's lied and schemed right along with her i.e. Grace and later hiding the fact that she shot EJ. MarDar can't write their way out a paper bag.
I just have to laugh at how lame this is. MarDar are going to push it through no matter what the history of Sami and Rafe have shown. Rafe suddenly has reservations about Sami's behavior after we've heard him tell her time and time again that what he likes most about her is her unpredictability? (which has always revolved around her lying) :lol: We've also seen these two covering up all kinds of secrets. He's no angel.

I don't get the qualities he first liked in Sami he now sees in Carrie.....Carrie's not scheming to get around him, she's not a damsel in distress, she's not a loving mommy . . . maybe Sami use to giggle more? Or could there have possibly been an ice cube moment in Safe's past we weren't privy too?

I love that they are throwing in another Carrie/Rafe hug session . . . nothing like having a partner you can grope every time a case goes your way! Hope Carrie is holding on tight enough to see if the whole package is worth her time. ;)

The dance. Need I say more? Oh MarDar :shame:

If Rafe is such a stand-up guy but golly-gee conflicted over these feelings then maybe, Mr. Stand-up, it's time to check the want-ads.

But, then what's the fun in that? Salem needed a new scumbag and Roving Eye Rafe drooling over his sister-in-law is fitting the bill.

This isn't Days of our Lives....this is Days of our Lies! Who make up this crap! Rafe has always known what a liar, deceitful woman Sami was since the day he met her! That's what gets him all hot & bothered about her! He loves her for her craziness....it make his blood boil and his temperature rise!!!! Now he thinks that Ms Bland is Ms Wonderful! These writers have invented a new Rafe...and we are supposed to believe it's the same guy who gave Sami a pass for breaking into Lexi's computer to check her medical files! Come on! MarDar is making this up as they go along....what are they smokin'!! Don't insult our intelligence...give us some credit for having some memory for Pete's sake! If they going to change Rafe's personality, give us a reason....relapse of the memory erasing, whatever! A guy just doesn't turn off his loving passion for his hot wife for nothing...especially Mr. Straight Arrow Hernandez... make this believable!!!!! :drunk: :frustration:

Scheming Sami back equals good in my book. Rafe not liking it further leading to the demise of Safe is another positive. And all this makes Rafe go down in the books as just another one of Sami's men that fell for the good sister over her scheming ways.

That was him protecting Sami. Rafe has always been under the delusion that Sami only does bad things when she's victimized. To be fair, Everything she's did to Ej has been a retaliation of some sort of victimization so I could understand him thinking that. But this is the first time he is seeing Sami scheme just to do it. Because its fun. The best reason, in my book, that soaps would show scheming.

To bad her scheming partner is Madison. Let's hope when Lucas returns they join together to be the scheme team again. I've missed it.

This SL does not fit the characters of Rafe or Carrie. It is not believable that they could fall for each other. Rafe has always been into Sami and Carrie has always been into Austin. But I do find it very funny that this time around Carrie is going after Sami's man. instead of the other way around. could one say karma is starting to find it way to Sami. cheers: :cheer: :cheer: :popcorn:

Nope, still don't buy it. He's known about that part of her personality from the very beginning. The pranks she played on Hilda and even on him in the Safe House had nothing to do with her protecting herself. They may have annoyed him in the beginning, but he grew to accept them as part of who she is. Plus she's doing this to Kate, who he knows is no innocent. This still reeks of plot driven kaka to me.

I've always hated Safe from the get go and I've enjoyed Cafe's scenes these past few months because I feel the actors actually have chemistry, but I can't help but admit this is very much plot point driven like everything else on this show. Just one example is the broken thermostat. Way too contrived. When will these brain dead idiots learn that less is more?

I liked what Gering said about seeing in Carrie something he saw in Sami when they first met. So true! How many times did we say before that Sami was being written out of character and too much like Carrie? So many times! So I think that's actually ironic that that is the type of woman Rafe seems to fall for. Now that Sami's back to being herself, she's not really the woman Rafe wants, but Carrie is. I understand the connection now.

As for the contrived plots that bring these two together, they don't sound very good on paper. I'll see how they look on the screen, but I don't have my hopes up.

And I still don't understand the point of Kayla. Talk about wasting money. Evans' role could easily go to a cheap day player.

Based on what others have said, I think Kayla was supposed to return in February but they couldn't use Peggy McCay as Caroline so they just used Kayla in her place. I'm hoping that is the case or who cares?

I don't mind the way they are bringing Carrie and Rafe together. This is a soap. It's all about contrivances and crap like this. My issue with it is that I don't like where they seem to be going with Rafe. I have a feeling they are going to have Carrie and Rafe cheat before Sami's lies come out just so she isn't the only one who screwed up and I don't like that.

When I read that part of the article, it made no sense to me, because I was thinking of the early safehouse scenes and Sami was nothing like Carrie, but when you think about the way Sami was acting when safe was really getting to know each other, it does fit. Good job to M&T for that one.

Yeah, I agree. I don't see anything unusually ridiculous about Cafe being brought together, and in fact it's less stupid than, say, Madison falling into Brady's lap, Brady having to take his shirt off for various pointless reasons, etc. Carrie and Rafe have been written to show a common interest in justice, which makes some sense given Rafe's law enforcement background and of course Carrie is an insta-lawyer. Carrie in general has been a decent person outside of her documented straying. Just because Rafe hasn't strayed yet doesn't mean he's immune from temptation. Frankly, he must hold some sort of record for being under the spell of Sami's and only Sami's cooter. I'm glad to see him mixing it up because for the first time I'm sort of interested in him. Getting him out of the vortex of suck will do that. And yes, I'm sure that Cafe will have some guilty experience to make Sami look "better," in fact, she'll be able to be a hypocritical bitch to Rafe because at least she didn't love the man she fucked. Which in typical Sami fashion she'll twist into somehow letting her off the hook.

I'm glad you brought that up. I thought the same thing about the early safehouse days. I can see what you're saying, but it's not like Rafe didn't know this side of Sami was there.

Agreed. That's why the part about him acting like her being deceitful is new doesn't work so much. But then, perhaps Rafe assumed that now that they'd found true love ( :drunk: ) with each other, she'd be honest with him even if she lied to everyone else.

I forgot to mention the sheer hilarity of this paragraph:

Quote:
 
Later, Rafe turns his attention to planning Sydney’s upcoming birthday party. Carrie chips in and the bond within the two grows stronger. At the last minute, Rafe receives a call that the two actors he hired to play Sydney’s favorites characters, a prince and princess, won’t be able to make the party. Not wanting to disappoint Sydney, Rafe and Carrie dress up as the prince and princess. Kayla reminds them that the prince and princess perform a ballroom dance, so Rafe and Carrie quickly begin rehearsing, but the romantic dance causes sparks to erupt between Rafe and Carrie.


Of course Rafe is the one planning a little girl's birthday party, because heaven knows her mother probably didn't remember. Also, may I assume that Sydney's favorite characters won't be copyrighted Disney characters? So Kayla helpfully suggests that Rafe and Carrie dance otherwise Sydney will be SO DISAPPOINTED, and once again, where is Sami in all this? Where is Sydney, for that matter? I can see her not even being there, because having a young child around does tend to dampen the romantic sparks. Oh, Days, what would I do without your silliness?

Lock them in a room for 25 years.

Send them to another planet where they're forced to repopulate for the greater good of mankind.

Have them have a skeezy romp in an elevator just because.

Whatever it takes to stick it to Sami and get rid of Safe. Whatever.it.takes.
