So Jennifer has a male reporter friend? Why oh why couldn't this be Jack? Why create a fictitious male reporter when you have the real thing? :shame:
I wondered if it was Jack, and Jennifer was actually protecting his identity. Seems like a wasted opporunity, if it's not Jack.

On the other hand, if Jennifer is on her way down, maybe it'll make for better drama if Jack is out of the loop and as shocked as everyone else when she falls from grace.
I am with you on that. I was actually thinking that Jennifer and Abe are being set up by this reporter friend. Not necessarily by EJ and comp. but some reporter wanting a sensational story like the current mayor stealing debate questions and switching them for his opponent because he can't win on his own merits. Jack and the rest of Salem would have to pick their jaws up of the floor to know these two saints did anything underhanded to win.

and this is what EJ is counting on. Abe will have that halo tarnished and who will Lexie run to for comfort? Her real family of course. Stefano and EJ hate Abe and what he has made Lexie into. EJ was just too crushed for this not to be partly about her.

Jennifer is too hot to be looking like an abstinent school teacher! Come on, DAYS!

Sami... I won't even go there lol.

And if Carrie starts fantasizing about Rafe while screwing Austin, I'm gonna reach into the TV and slap her! :embarrassed:

I really liked today's episode and I've come to a realization - Will is like chocolate. He makes everything better. I love him with everyone he's with. I love him with Marlena (strawberries). I love him with Sami/Rafe ("nuts"), I love him with EJ (caramel) and I love him with Nicole (tangerine). He makes the characters I already like, lovable and the characters I've hated in the past, likable. He just really shines for me all the time. I like his angst and I love his looking like he's about to burst into hysterical laughter when he watches the drama unfold around him. This kid is such a star!

I thought Jennifer looked nice today. The stormy grey/bluish sweater combo looked nice.

I liked the conversations that Caustin and Safe had.

And the only one who cried today was Sami so that's alright by me.

I never thought I would like Will going bad but it's fun watching him be seduced by the dark side.
So it's like Anakin Skywalker and Palpatine all over again? :P My 6 year-old LOVES Star Wars and your comment reminded me of the movies that are on almost daily in my house.

I'm looking forward to seeing Sami's beehive, LOL! And of course, Jennifer's washed out look. Sheesh, the hair and wardrobe on this show have been awful since the reset, along with everything else on the show.

They can't really hate who Abe has "turned her into" because they didn't even know her pre-Abe. She can't run to her "real" family except for Celeste.

Obviously that is how EJ sees things. She is his sister and part of the Dimera family. I think they blame Abe for her being distant from them. Lexie had good relationship with EJ and Stefano until this election stuff. But I can see why they want Abe gone. and want him to take a huge fall.

jen tells abe her contact is wiling to get the questions but not willing to feed Ej the wrong ones , doesnt want
to cross a Dimera
abe says we will have to figure this out ourselves
we have to keep this between us, the
fall out could be catastrophic

Ej says to Nicole how is our little debate project coming along
she says my sources tell me, bam its a lock, delivery in a few hours
Someone's gotta help me here, if Abe is planning to get the questions and EJ is working on a "little debate project", I assume, he is getting the questions too. So, unless EJ plans to double cross Abe, to knowingly set him up for a fall, rather than Abe thinking he has duped EJ, then the fall from grace will be worse and possibly a chance for EJ to blackmail him out of the race. Does this make any sense? I am sort of lost as to what is actually going to happen.

There's potential drama in both scenarios, actually.

1. If Jack is Jennifer's contact, he'd be flying under the radar, partly because of his new job at Salem U and partly because he'd be trying to protect Abe from the possible taint of association with Harper Deveraux's son. But he still has the political savvy that Jennifer lacks, so he might be willing to help her level the playing field by getting Abe the questions too. However, Jack wouldn't cross the line of planting fake questions--so he'd be appalled if Abe and Jennifer did, leading to more J&J conflict, this time on the professional front.

2. If Jack isn't Jennifer's contact, that raises the questions of who is. Could that person be out for himself, or bribable by the diMeras? Not to mention that, by not consulting Jack, Jennifer is ignoring a potential gold mine of political advice and will inevitably get herself into deeper trouble when she tries to play in the big leagues. And when things blow up in her face, Jack may have to step in to keep her from getting buried. But will he?

EJole are just too cute with their dysfunctional game of cat and mouse. Will is obviously enjoying it. Its nice for someone in Salem to see EJole past their reputations and just admire them. CM totally lights up with AZ. I think both are like great! (Although I would take the analogy of chocolate in the previous post and substitute it with bacon or cheese! LOL)

But that doesn't even make sense because...they didn't know her before Abe. She hasn't always had a good relationship with either of them. They've had falling outs over things besides the mayor stuff...one of them happened when she and Abe were estranged. Look, I think Abe brings Lexie down, too, but that's beside the point. Stefano and EJ can't blame Abe for anything because they didn't know Lexie before she was with Abe.

It only has to make sense to the characters and their motives. Most of the conversation EJ had with Lexie was about Abe. How Abe was soo moral and noble. Maybe they are just tired of hearing this. :laugh:

Ejill scenes were my favorite. Yes, it was totally fun to watch Will enjoying being on TEAM EJ. CM consistantly shows a great range of the many faces his character can play. We haven't seen will smile that big in a very long time. I think he might enjoy being EJ's minion, seeing him accept Nicole as she is, maybe he is enjoying someone paying attention to him, with a chance to feel important and needed. Wacky, but it works!
I think you're right. FINALLY, someone seems to be giving WILL attention. EJ, and to a lesser degree Nicole seem to like having him around. And when those two set out to charm.....duck! because they lay it on thick. I love EJole and I love EJill but the three together had me with a big ole smile during the scenes!

And of course, EJ loving Nicole's sneaky ways....so Mr and Mrs Smith! I'd love to see MarDar write more substantive scenes for EJ and Nicole but I think they "get" something about the couple others haven't. There is a dynamic there of them against the world with a little play with each other as well that can be very entertaining to watch.

So Carrie didn't have time to screw Austin because she had to rush to get to work, yet she had time to sit around for what looked like quite a while to talk about this problem and try to arrange a time to get together. I really enjoyed the Safe scenes, although AS's hair and ill-fitting dress were distracting. Why does she consistently wear clothes that are too small? The way the dress was sort of bunching up and pulling was not attractive. I loved Rafe just walking out on her. Apparently Rafe only likes scheming Sami when those schemes are against EJ. Loved EJ/Will/Nicole. Seeing Will really getting into this stuff with them is fun to watch. EJ knowing what Nicole would do and liking it was great. Good episode overall.

LOL, just looking at Sami today makes me laugh. She's dressed like Elvira and has a Peg Bundy hairstyle. Rafe is just so stunned by Sami being underhanded and sneaky ... HELLOOOOO RAFE!! This is the real Sami Brady. Welcome to hell big guy!

LOVED the EJOLE and Will scenes. CM AZ and JS all looked like they had a blast shooting them. I LOVED Nicole's nod to history re to being Will's Step mommy and always knowing he was smart. :wub: I liked how Will put the money in his pocket that Nicole give him. Hehe.

Chandler is so damn adorable when he smiles! I am just crushing all over the kid!
And the way he looks at Nicole...it looks like he was crushing all over her. Ari and Chandler are the best parts of Days for me, and it was delicious to see them in a scene together, especially when Chandler looked smitten with Ari.
So much :wub:
Also enjoying Will and EJ...they both look like they are enjoying themselves...and my favorite part of a soap scene is when characters can mix in some fun/smiling in a serious scene.
The disfunctional comment was made of so much awesome! They are both such sneaks!

Carrie and Austin made zero sense.
And I am not sure who I am supposed to root for in the Safe scenes, but I'm for Rafe on this one. No surprise there! She never deserved him.
