Sami is bad and out of control... I like it! :cart: I'd take that over this watered down version on our screens for the longest time. And the olive branch between EJ and Sami is a but unexpected. So the more Safe pull apart, the closer she ends up with EJ, I'm guessing? huh.. interesting. here's hoping!
My guess is the olive branch to EJ is in reaction to Scami making an utter selfish fool of herself at SYDNEY's party. No doubt EJ points out that Sami's behavior is shitty--like the shitty mother she is. I can see Sami agreeing to let EJOLE throw Sydney her own party at DiMansion, which there were spoiler pics that showed pink balloons and EJoleny together celebrating.

I think THAT's the olive branch. SAMI is a shitty selfish excuse of a mother, and she finally does something right by letting Syd's real parents (i.e. the ones that actually LOVE that little girl) throw her a party.

btw, I can't wait until RAFE fucks the shit out of CARRIE. Sami will go ballistic!!! And she won't turn to EJ. . but her real soulmate LUCAS!!!
Don't forget her typical MO to try and get the guy shes with jealous- in this case Rafe. So it will be her screaming for attention because she IS already jealous of Carrie so she wants Rafe to be jealous too. Of course her "cover" will be that she wants to "make up" for ruining things for Syd but really she is thinking of her bruised little ego. That has gotten WAY too inflatted over the last 5+ years. IMO.

Great.... looks like much ado about nothing when it comes to Alice's secret. Sounds like Hope will decide to keep the box closed. :shame:

Question: If an actor is guaranteed a number of episodes per week and is used less than the guaranteed episodes for a number of weeks, is there any expectation of that being because the actor will be used more than his guaranteed episodes in later weeks? As in, if an actor's guarantee is two days per week, and that actor is only used one or zero for a few weeks, might we expect that actor to be on more, perhaps three days per week, later down the road to make up for the lack of airtime earlier? (Yes, I'm thinking of Jack.)

Would assume that the contract would determine things like that...since they don't work by a time clock, thee would have to be legal doc deciding rather than have a surprise when it happens.?

So, no Jack this week. We get one day of Jack and Marlena dealing with his PTSD on Thursday, and nothing at all next week? What are wrong with these people? How can they chop up one of the most interesting sls they have going on and only show it once a month? It's gone way beyond ridiculous.

A good day to have Jack around would be when Jennifer forbids Abby from modeling. Especially if this is the start of a rift between Jen and Abby. I would also love to see Jack on the day of the debate but I know 2 days a week ain't happening. :moon:

Just because he isn't mentioned in the spoilers doesn't mean he isn't on.

I think the actor has to be paid for the guaranteed number of episodes no matter what. But if the show decides to pay him and flush the money down the drain by not using him itīs up to them. Thaoo Penghilis is a great example. The only reason why the show kept him was Corday not wanting look bad he fired a fresh emmy nominee. But they had no story for him and they paid him two years for nothing.

I came back to this show for ONE reason. John and Marlena TOGETHER. John hasn't been seen in over a week, and Marlena is mostly a prop. What the heck are these writers doing?????

No, it just means that even if he is on, it'll be more lip service with no actual movement of the storyline. :moon:

I hope she decides to keep the box closed. This sl should be scrapped!
I hate what they are doing to Alice's memory!

No, Will! Turn away from the boring light, i.e., Sonny. You're more interesting on the dark side, i.e., EJ. I've actually been enjoying your scenes with the junior Mr. & Mrs. Di and your presence at the DiMansion. Don't become vanilla/milquetoast Will again. Please!!!
The absolute BEST thing this show could do to get people tuning in and change the whole game -- and I think we all know it -- is for EJ to have sex with Will.

He's already showering him with gifts.
There's already a master/slave relationship.
Now it's time to GO ALL THE WAY, BABY!

And for a truly classic soap story! :cheer:

Somebody needs to make a video on Youtube with EJ/Will using the song "Master and Servant" by Depeche Mode.

While I would love to see more Jack and the PTSD storyline (hmm not enough of it to even call it a story so I will go with "situation") PTSD situation with the way MA has been treated in the past I am OK with him spending his days on the beach and still cashing his check every month.

He doesn't even need to have sex. All Will has to do is what Sami use to do.....like 'fake' the moment....remember when she got Lucas blasted and moved him into Carrie's bed to make it look like they had slept together?

That is why I'm thinking that if by any chance Ej brings up Will's sexuality again, Will might strike. How about if he stages it, gets Ej drunk (or slips something in his drink). He then proceeds to take off his clothing and take pics of him with another man. I can actually see Will doing this and planting Sonny in the pic with EJ. Classic politician scandal, no? Perfect way to have him ousted out of office after he wins the election using underhanded means. I just have a feeling that Will is going to screw over Ej in a way he can't even imagine.
