TFP!

A new CEO for Titan? How about that heir you demanded Kate have for you before you would marry her?

YOUR SON, PHILIP!!!!

Stupid show.

they already mention philp does not want to be CEO


And this is what happens when you ignore history on the show.

Philip was being groomed to be CEO. It was the most important thing to him and Victor. He sacrificed relationships for it (Chloe and Stephanie). He fought with Brady about it. It was everything to him.

So it's total BS to me that when the opportunity came to come home to his family in Salem, to finally get that brass ring and take over Titan, that he would say no.

I just hate crap like that.
I don't see it that way. In very recent epis, Victor and Maggie discuss having Philip takeover as CEO, but it was noted that he is busy managing things in Chicago and being a father to his son. Even if Philip was being groomed in years past, it makes sense that things have changed and his interest may not be the same. In the same epi, Maggie brings up BO, Victors other son and Maggie suggests that Victor should at least ask him. This hasn't happened yet and with Bo's new job overseeing the crime task force, it's probably going to be a no go. IMO, TPTB did a good job at covering this issue and addressed it with believable dialogue.
Since TPTB choose Lucas to come back, having him take over as CEO of Titan makes complete sense.
For Philip fans, they'll have to wait until the next shake-up. Thems the brakes!!

I was under the impression when EJ signed over the kids that he gave up his parental rights. That's the only way you can hand over your kids and not have any visitation. Judges won't approve an agreement where the kids have no contact with one of the parents. Granted, the writers have proved they have really limited knowledge of law and can't be bothered to research, lol. But if so, that would be why AJ doesn't pay support and Sami would have to go to him for help.

As far as Lucas, my guess is the fractured way the writeup was written doesn't convey what she was saying. Lucas pays child support, Kate said something about it when she first offered Sami the job.

I'm confused by Rafe's attitude. Full disclosure: I'm a fan, I actually only started watching days again when Galen and Lindsay came to Days from Passions. But that doesn't weigh on my thinking this story is REALLY out of character for him. Rafe likes Sami's schemy parts, and always defended her no matter how retarded she was acting. Today's crap makes it sound like he's just picking a fight so he can justify his feelings for Carrie.

Normally I don't mind boring filler episodes, there can't be constant action, but not for weeks, in the middle of story lines! Put the filler after one sl is resolved and before the next begins!!! :flipoff:
I agree that Rafe is being written totally out of character. If we would have had some build up to today's attitude over the past few weeks, I could maybe begin to understand it, but we haven't. Rafe has always stuck by Sami no matter what crazy scheme she has had going and how dumb she acted, but now he doesn't want her to act like that? He has known her for over 3 years and met her when she had just drugged Hilda-- he knows how she is. Rafe telling Sami what she was doing was illegal-- really? So was shooting EJ, which he helped her cover up, but that never seemed to bother him.

I am all for full disclosure, too. So when is Rafe going to disclose to Sami about Carrie and him in the office with their shirts off and her rubbing her chest seductively with ice?

The writers have made a mess of his character and for what? So he can sleep with her sister? Dumb plot point writing.

If that was the case there should have been buildup but there has been nothing to indicate he had any problems other than not being happy about her job with Kate which he got over. This is plot at its lamest form.

Exactly. There hasn't been anything to indicate that Rafe has had any problem with her and what she has done. Rafe even told her he was happy that her job with Kate was working out. Changing a character is one thing, but doing it all of a sudden, on a dime, isn't believable and it's lazy plot point writing.

Some of those pictures are hot. Camila Banus is the first person other than Chandler Massey I've seen CD have at least some sexual chemistry with. It won't end well because of course, Chad's heart like all men's hearts belongs to the achingly sexy Pippi Longstocking and Gabi will be driven mad--MAD--by her inability to compete with that kind of maneating irresistibility, but maybe there will be interesting moments along the way. The ones that don't involve Melanie have a chance at being that way.

I love Sami's hairdo... just not on Sami. It looks horrible on her, but the hairdo itself is cute. It'd be cute on some young, cute, hip fashionista, but it is not cute on AS.

Will/Marlena is love.

i dont want to have to go to Ej and ask for child support, i dont want to have to ask Lucas
and maybe allie should go back to Hong Kong


WTF Sami? Are you trying to tell me that Lucas and Ej aren't paying child support and that if you reach out to Lucas he's going to ask for Allie to go back to HK? This is the shit that sometimes makes me scratch my head....who the fuck was the breakdown writer for this episode? That makes absolutely NO SENSE.
I put all this on the writers. It's complete manufactured BS! If they want to write in angst then do it believably. No viewer is going to accept, no matter what the writers have the characters say, that Ej and Lucas are not being financially responsible for their kids! These are strong, proud, wealthy men who love their children. They are in no way shape or form going to let Sami and her husband be sole providers. That whole discussion was a joke. Quit insulting the viewers with this forced plot baloney.


My apologies because this is slightly off topic, but I had the same question regarding Abigail and financial aid/work study programs. I should be as poor as the Devereauxs and still receive financial aid for my children to go to school. Soaps were traditionally centered around wealthier families. Why is everyone so destitute all of a sudden?

What if Lucas is the new CEO of Titan and that's why he comes home???
I would love for Lucas to be the CEO of Titan and then he somehow keeps Madison and rehires Sami at MadWorld. There is just something too delicious about the potential rivalry with Kate's son running Titan and having Madison and Sami as subordinates.

Oh the last time that Sami worked for Lucas was just sooo good! Remember this?



I love the idea of Lucas being the new Titan CEO, Billie and Kate teaming up against him, family rivalry? YEAH! If by chance Sami does end up working for Lucas at Titan, boy they can do some nice reminiscing?

Dear PTB,

Please bring back the Titan photo lab set again? Even if it's a made to look like the photo lab set. :wub: You can throw in the conference room for the Jarlena fans too ;)

Thanks, I promise I'll watch faithfully if you make that happen. I'm loyal like that you know...and yeah, I'd watch Dr. Orangeass and his daughter if need be. True commitment here!

Regards,

Luvinglumi

Make it happen Days!

It has been mentioned that both Jack and Jennifer have no money. Not in the same epi or anything, just part of their storyline stuff. Jack and Jen were broke years ago. Jack doen't have his Deveraux fortune. I guess they never made huge $$ doing regular jobs, so with Jack out of work for a year, and Jennifer leaving her job behind when coming back to Salem, we can see that Abi has no access to family money. I guess Jen could ask her Dad, but is probably embarassed to ask for more handouts. Bill gave them a JnJ house in the early years of their marraige, and when coming back from Africa, Jen rented a house I believe ( she had a job, editor of the spectator). JnJ are regular folk these days, long gone are the days of Sheldon and Jack's limo.

Thanks, Dreamer, I stand corrected. Obviously, too, with all the Alice secrets, she left no money to her grandchildren. LOL.

Sami's head looks like she's wearing one of those big puffy hats the little Strawberry Shortcake dolls used to wear back in the day.

All that greasy, limp, longish hair on Chad was giving me flashbacks to Tanner Scofield. Not a good thing.

Whoever mentioned all the blue ribbons on Madison's dress, I thought the EXACT same thing while watching the show. It's like she got hijacked by a rabid farmer at the county fair.

I can't honestly say that I gave a rat's ass about any storyline today other than Will/Marlena/Sonny. It really does seem like that one storyline is written by a COMPLETELY different writer.

I found it funny that muffins and "opportunities of a lifetime" were the topics of conversation in TWO completely unrelated scenes. Fail.

So Marlena insists that she had a toy as a girl where you baked cakes in a pretend oven with a light blub... Um, I don't think so. The Easy Bake Oven didn't come out until 1963. If you want me to believe that Marlena was a little girl in 1963, I've got some swamp land in Florida to sell you. An Easy Bake Stone Hearth, MAYBE...?

And Kate hired a stylist based on Sami's recommendation? I know that Kate always looks a HOT MESS (although today was the best I've seen her look in eons, not that the bar was set very high, of course), but has Kate actually SEEN Sami?!

Today's episode was directed by producer Albert Alarr from an uncharacteristically weak & lackluster script from Janet Iacobuzio.

Seems like Alice, left them just the family house and funds to build HTS.
