I honestly can't compare Marlena's affair to Sami's. Marlena cheated on Sami's father and ruined her family. Sami cheated on Rafe - Will's stepfather for the past three years.

How in the world could Will's pain and reaction be compared to Sami's? That's what makes this storyline laughable for me. The effects of one affair to the other are not even close IMO.

The worst thing Will witnessed was his mother in a compromizing position and in the middle of "the act". Horrifying, for sure. Scarring even. But the "distruction of the family"? His father being hurt by it? No. Sami not only witnessed her mother "in the act", but her real father was destroyed by it, followeed by the disolving of their marriage and family.

Thank goodness Lucas is coming back to remind him who his real father is. And once, just once, I want him to look Rafe in the eyes and say "Rafe, you are NOT the father."
It also feels forced to me. Not to mention that this isn't even a happy family, as Rafe is falling in love with Carrie, even though Sami has done nothing that Rafe knows of which would push him away.

Due to the show trying to balance everything, there are no real stakes. Sami has a reason for what she did with EJ and she also has an out to push anger on Rafe when she finds out about his relationship with Carrie. So what will happen when the truth is revealed? Nicole feels betrayed again?

I never understood why Will would be shocked or angered by Sami's sleeping with EJ anyway. It's very typical of the mother he has known.

Contrived melodrama just results in a few days of yelling and months, or years, of empty storylines and characters.

This storyline would have been so much better if Rafe's attraction to Carrie grew after the reveal instead of before. Because it feels like once again they are giving Sami an out to justify what she did wrong and not make her look so bad and that to me takes away from the story in and of itself. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised considering that has been an ongoing cycle on this show the past three to four years when it comes to the Beast. :shame:

And instead of making Rafe a somewhat sympathetic character after the reveal,his fooling around with Carrie just makes Safe look like a who gives a damn couple

The writers couldn't give a damn about anyone the sole purpose of Rafe written OOC is to give Sami a pass for her November madness and to create third party angst again for CAUSTIN By making Rafe the third wheel. Something that has been done with both Lucas and Sami. While Carrie is portrayed as little miss perfect AGAIN. I don't know a time when that Halo on her head was truly tarnished? She has more similarities to Sami than she would like hence why they can't get along.Always fighting over the same man. Carrie this time really having NO reason to do this to Austin as Sami has steered clear of him and Austin been nothing but loving towards her and doesn't deserve her eyeing up Rafe the way she has been doing. It just goes to show that she can't help herself and Sami of old was a convienient excuse like the JARLENA affair is to Sami. Give me Nicole or Chloe any day over the hollier than thou Brady sisters.

I think you CAN compare the two. The SL isn't so much about breaking up the family but more about a child losing every last drop of respect for a parent. Will even mentioned that he thought Rafe should divorce Sami. I'm glad someone posted that old clip. I haven't seen it since it aired. Bad writing for Wayne that day but holy cow, the intensity between those two yentas brought tears to my eyes. Luckily my eyelids held them in, it would be a tad embarrassing explaining all this to my coworkers.

See, I disagree with this. The major difference is that Sami has drilled it into Will's head that EJ is horrible, evil, and that she hates him. Sami, however, spent years believing John was her father, and that Marlena was his wife. She had almost a year as a toddler watching John and Marlena very much in love and happily married. Sami knew Marlena loved John deeply, and that they had all been confused when the "real" Roman came back. Will's been told repeatedly that EJ is evil by his own mother, and that she's changed. Rafe has changed her for the better, right? Now he was first-row witness to that absolutely not being true. To HIM that's a major betrayal.

In addition, the pasts are very different. Will has grown up with Sami, who's schemed, lied, drugged and tricked people into doing what she want, himself included. She's used Will relentlessly, from the day he was born. Sami grew up in a loving home with a mother who worked to put food on her table, not to find a fitting daddy. Sami had Marlena, John, Caroline, Shawn and (I say this begrudgingly) Roman.

How good the stories are is a whole other thing, because John and Marlena's affair was a beautifully crafted, written and acted story. One of the best in Daytime if you ask me. It used history, character strengths and flaws, and it showcased chemistry and acting that was top notch. This EJ/Sami catastrophe? Meh.

Well, I never gave a damn about them before so it's no change for me in that regard. I do get to watch them slowly self destruct, though; that is always entertaining. :popcorn:

It must be but you know what's weird that they didn't even preview Will and Sami's confrontation in SOD this week, so maybe it doesn't take place till the week after next. My bet is the Friday cliffhanger has the beginning of the confrontation.

I think SOW has an article on the reveal if I am not mistaken.

Personally I really dislike when actors use their twitter to promote any product. We know they are paid for it, they know we know they are paid for it yet everybody pretends itīs completely spontaneus they constantly mention some dog diet or that stupid Wii get slim quick game.
Actually, I use the Wii fit plus and occasionally mention it on Facebook, and it's not a get slim quick game. :unsure:
Not to put words in Jane's mouth, but I think the issue with the Wii fit as related to Ali is that Ali was being paid to endorse the Wii fit. She tweeted incessantly about going to the gym, doing the world's hardest spin classes, working out with Jillian Michaels, etc. And then all of a sudden there were these "spontaneous" tweets about her amazing weight loss with the Wii fit. We knew where her weight loss was from! Maybe a fraction of it was from the Wii fit, but most of it was from her sweat-drenching workouts at the gym. Not to say you can't lose the weight with a Wii fit, but she didn't, and her tweets came off as even more disingenuous because of it.
Damn, you mean when I bought one of those, I was sending her money indirectly? My Mii and I will NEVER get along again!

This isn't a tweet, but I thought some people might appreciate it, and I'm not starting a new thread for it. In the "winners and losers" section of SOW this week....

The differences are overwhelmingly glaring. MarDar's supposed remake is amateurish and without substance. They are much more interested in the event moment than really delving into all the emotional beats being given their due importance. 'Beautifully crafted and written with character history, strengths and flaws' is not within their capability. It's so sad that these weak writers are the ones that will probably write the final chapter of Days.

Do you mean the real Gina?
I hope so cause I can't stomach the thought if Hope becoming Gina again and Hope(Gina) and John having sex again!
I won't be watching the Gina shit!
Thank goodness I can read recaps online and decide when to watch!

I would hope that if DOOL is canceled that Corday would hire Sherri Anderson to usher the end. Kind of like how Agnes Nixon was brought onto end AMC.
