I absolutely agree! Every scene she has been in since her return has been SO Marlena. She is by fare the character that is best written of all characters on the show. I love how she is the caring/cool grandmother in such a beautiful way, the awesome doc, the loving and adoring wife, and at the same time the playful/sexy wife. |

Okay James Scott needs to drop the fake british accent. I know he is part british but his accent sounds fake like he is putting it on. I think he accentuates his british accent more then he should and it comes accross as fake. It's annoying the crap out of me. Sick of Stefano and his games. And I'm sick of this Alice's secrets sl. |

Yeah but he has been living in America for a long time now. His accent would be mostly American now. I think he is overdoing it with his accent. Edited by AlisonLou, Jan 29 2012, 08:19 AM.

He hasn't been here THAT long wherein he'd have a partial American accent. Besides, it's not as if he was a child when he came here. He was a fully grown adult. So, it would take a great many years for him to even lose a small portion of his natural accent, unless he decided to fake it a la Madonna and/or Johnny Depp... Now, it may be that EJ's British accent is a lot more posh than JS', and if that's the case, I think that's because EJ is supposed to have attended only the best British schools and led a very privileged life while living in England (including being exposed to the upper crust of British society).

Simon Baker, Hugh Jackman and Eric Bana have faked their American accents for years and they still talk with their natural native accents when interviewed. Sometimes you lose it sometimes you don't, some choose to lose it others don't. If JS sounds less English than Elvis, it's probably because EJ is supposed to be super posh as others said already. They tend to sound like they are talking down to people. |

The J&M scenes look great for Monday's show. :wub: Love the kisses, but too bad we never seem to get to see the good stuff anymore. :'( I miss the LOOOOOONG kisses (and love scenes) these two used to share...they're so short now! :( The Bo/Hope/Stefano scenes sound great, too. This storyline has been taking forever, but it seems like we're getting somewhere now. Looking forward to seeing how everything develops and of course having J&M be a part of this story as well. :) |

He is supposed to be an intellectual snob and wants everyone to know how much smarter he is than them. |

EJole and Sidney have to be related. They had the same reaction to Prince Dork Alot. :laugh:

I think what's throwing you off is that James makes an active choice to portray EJ as arrogant. So his demeanor at times is over the top, for example in the scenes with Will when he's being devious. He also portrays him as a bit of a snob because he's a DiMeara. When James speaks off character, as himself, he still has the heavy British accent but his demeanor is more casual so it doesn't seem so obvious. |

The DiMeara vs the Hernandez scenes were excellent, both the writing and directing. I love that they had Nicole walk over to EJ as supportive wife but kept her out of the entanglement. Sami forcing EJ to tell Sydney he was too busy to attend her party was seriously cruel. Nic shakes her head, EJ's face hardens, perfect. Then later on EJ's subtle hand gesture of supplication. VERY WELL DONE. |

Really enjoyed today's episode. I loved the look on Will's face every time Sami was brought up especially when he told EJ that he enjoyed that seeing her royally pissed was all worth it. I hate Sami, but her scenes today were enjoyable seeing her pissed off is always great any discomfort to her is great and I love it. Oh Stefano I think that you are really scared to know what is in that box. Maybe he knows what it is and he is just trying to guess which of his secrets did Alice have in there or maybe this time he is completely in the dark and whatever it is is going to rock his world to it's core. I think that Bo and Hope feel that yes this secret could destroy them, but at least they can take Stefano down too. There was no way that Hope was going to accept that deal to just open the envelope pertaining to her and let Stefano keep his a secret to himself. BTW Sami said that Johnnie and Allie were at the party at the pub for Sydney. Where were they did not see them there? Was Johnnie hiding under another table and this time he took Allie along as a play mate. If Will really wanted to piss of the beast then he should have had the two of them at that DiMera party too. That would have been great. Sami has no right to be jealous of anything that Rafe and Carrie does because she still slept with EJ and is still keeping it a secret from him and kiss is nothing compared to what she did with EJ. I loved the John and Marlena scenes today. Carrie and Austin should take a page out of their book. Even though they are both really busy they still find time for one another. I loved how the two of them were interacting with one another today. Sami's fake sincerity today when she said that she was glad that Marlena and John were at the party was so fake. She is so egotistical especially when she went to go get Sydney from EJ's it was every other word I I I and not Sydney." I let you see the kids, I did not know she was her and I searched all over for Sydney." She did not search all over she went to the pub. Then proceeded to sulk because Rafe and Carrie were dancing together. I liked today's episode. Can't wait to see what is in that damn box. Today was the start of many bitch fits that Sami will have for this week. Don't want to see her whiny scrunchy faces fits. |

I loved when Ejole were snickering behind Rafe's back while he spoke to Syd, who was not impressed by him. Sami was a total bitch and this will come back to haunt her. This must be Mardar's way of making up for the whole johnny/ rafe worshipping. Will's amusement by the whole thing was great! :rockon: |

I just want ONE scene, just ONE, where EJ turns to Nicole and THANKS HER for the BABYSWITCH because all that bonding Nicole fostered between EJ and Sydney is now coming to fruition and she's a Daddy's Girl. It's no surprise Johnny's allegiance seems to be more fickle because there was no one around to support EJ's bonding with his son. Sami's focus was on getting the kids to bond with Rafe. And honestly, since EJ was still so obsessed with Sami round one, he would've told her Syd was hers if Nic told him the truth and the fight for custody would've been from Day One. In hindsight, girlfriend Nicole was RIGHT! |

It was pretty damn funny how they were looking at Rafe in that get up. Sydney did not seem a bit impressed all she wanted was her daddy. Will had me cracking up the whole episode. I agree with Sami being a bitch too. It seems to me that she did not care as much that Sydney was having another party, but because SHE did not know anything about it because SHE told EJ No when he asked could he throw Sydney a party too. |

I pretty much disagree with every word of this. For the past several months we've seen absolutely no indication that Sydney is a Daddy's girl - or that either she or EJ spent more than a passing moment thinking about one another. EJ handed the kids over to Sami and hasn't seemed to be all that bothered by it since. And I say this as a huge EJ fan. As for Johnny - he spent months living with EJ (and Nicole) while Sami was in witness protection - so he certainly had opportunity to bond with EJ. Throughout his life EJ had been the more constant presence - until EJ handed him over to Sami last Summer. And as for Nicole having been right in switching babies and lying to everyone about it? Just no. :shame: |
