Considering that she had literally just divorced him and they weren't together, I don't think Nicole would have a true leg to stand on with just the ONS-type sex with Sami. They both like to play it shady from time to time, as today's episode illustrated. It would take a trust issue to split them up. |

Hee! Thanks. :blowkiss: It helps to have inspired source material. (That pic is from the SOAPNet promos for the DAYS Decathlon featuring Jack and Jennifer circa 2004.) |

When Will told Sami "Do you know what's happening to me?", It broke my heart. It just showed how pathetic of a mother Sami is. Everyone BUT his mother knows something else is wrong with him. :shame: |

Yes, that line was heartbreaking in many levels. Will is hearing how Adrienne and the mothers of Sonny's friends took the news with most of them knowing that their kids are gay before they told them. Adrienne in an episode back in the summer told Maggie how she noticed that Sonny was different from a comment he made about two cowboys in a curtain pattern when he was 5-6 years old. Adrienne vividly remembered it. It must be incredibly hard for Will to realize that his mother doesn't know him and doesn't even feel that her son is gay. Sami won't even bother to find out. The entire Salem will know Will is gay before her and that tells a lot about Sami. Will's "I'm free" comment gave me goosebumps and hope. It's a good step for self-acceptance. |

I agree. She just don't play dramatic scenes well. Either she's over the top or she phones in. I was so disappointed. |

Does anyone think Will's actions against Sami are not justifable? Do you think he is blowing things out of proporation? He is upset that she slept with EJ and has ruined his family... but thinks his brothers and sisters are going to be fine? better off? Is he just a tad selfish? TPTB make Ejami sex comparable to Jarlena's affair.... are they the same? worse? Sami did not have pre-meditated thoughts to go and bang EJ, it just happened and since then, has felt nothing but guilt. Ejami are not carrying on in an on going affair. So Will saw them having sex, okay rough sex... time to grow up.... yes, it is her ex. rape, shooting all in all very bad relationhsip.....But Sami doesn't act like she wants EJ.... her biggest mistake is not telling her husband. Is that Will's problem? It causes problems, potential problems, problems he is stirring up. I really think that his denial of his sexual orientation, is being deflected in his emotions against Sami. Will is very troubled and with EJ's blackmail it can't be helping either.

I think Will is very much justified in his anger at Sami. Yeah Rafe is not his father, but still as usual instead of Sami dealing with Will's problems and trying to help him its the other way around. I think Will's line about "Why do I feel like I'm the adult in this relationship?" pretty much sums up their relationship perfectly. No child deserves Sami Brady for a mother. :shame: |

I thought Ali did a good job today. I actually felt a twinge of sympathy for Sami when I usually want to slap her. Loved seeing a Friday cliffhanger again. |

Jeezus. I'm damn near out of breath from this episode. EASILY one of the best episodes in eons and one of those moments that (IMO) is almost on the same level as Carrie punching Sami at the wedding. So many GOOD lines throughout that rang true from the parallels between Marlena/John and Sami/EJ and how what Sami did was worse because Marlena actually loved John to when Will told Sami that she was always too busy chasing after another guy who didn't love her to be there for him. Just so many good moments. And I actually think that Ali didn't do a half-bad job keeping up with Chandler. People want to give her a lot of grief, but I thought she did a really good job with the material. Granted, these scenes truly belonged to Chandler, but one of the hardest parts of acting is REACTING to the other actor and I thought AS did a really good job with her reactions to CM. AND THERE WAS A FRIDAY CLIFFHANGER! THANK YOU! FINALLY! Seriously, I kept screaming at my TV to come back from commercial and I haven't done that with DAYS in forever. Sami Brady truly had the WORST DAY EVER and I loved every fucking minute of it. Today's show was directed by Grant A. Johnson and written by Roger Schroeder (who I'm tempting to send a "thank you" card to). |

This is certainly a emmy tape for Chandler Massey for next year's Emmy's. |

Definitely an great performance for CM! Chandler is going to have a huge collection of emmy award winning scenes this year, esp. if the writing and SLs continue on until May. If he was nominated last year in the young actor category last year.... this year he could pull it off and next year, again. Funny how he joined the cast in 2010 and took this character to a whole new level. I wonder if TPTB really new what they had, when they hired him. |

Agree with most of the comments above, great Will & Sami scenes. Sami was really good too, IMO. I don't know how Chandler is going to narrow down his tapes for emmy submission. It seems a shame his acting has to be wasted on a daytime emmy! (Is there even going to be a show broadcast with 4 soaps left?). He could easily be in the prime-time supporting actor category and still win! The "I'm finally free" comment was brilliant! I felt like applauding! LOL I just hope he doesn't hookup with the guy Sonny likes. While it would make for good soap, I'd hate for Sonny to be hurt like that after all he's done to be there for Will. |

I think he's about the same as she is - he pretends he's a good person while spewing bile at easy targets. Sami won't really react, just as Marlena can never really react to what Sami says to her. He profits from and even seems to get a kick out of what happened - all this sadness over the breakup of the nuclear family takes a backseat to fancy presents. For that reason I have little sympathy for him. The lack of buildup over this great betrayal of Sami's doesn't help either. I never saw the happy family which was supposed to have been shattered, so it mostly feels like plot and more plot. Edited by CarlD2, Feb 3 2012, 03:05 PM.

I know Days is a soap, it’s fictional, I’ve watched the show for many, many years and have always had a connection to the characters, it was like eavesdropping on my best friends conversations, I cried and laughed with them, went through the good, bad, and ugly with them, and since the re-boot that connection is gone. Sami has been one of my favorites I always saw a little glimmer of hope in her, but on today’s show I couldn’t feel bad for her or Will, or feel anything for any of the characters, the writing is so horrible, I don’t get the connection anymore, its just words floating through the air, and most of the time my mind is thinking of something else. I used to hate Fridays because that meant I had to wait 2 days before I would see Days, not anymore! Guess I will have to change my profile because DAYS was my all time favorite soap but not anymore! |

It makes sense that Will has longed for the 'perfect family' he never had. It's just a shame the writers never played that beat more before this story arc. In either event, Chandler continues to command every scene he is in. I am loving the storyline and a large reason for that is due to his performances. Emmy reel for 2012? Check. |

Oh, I dont agree that they haven't played that beat. I think they've been playing it since the day Chris Gerse was hired in 2003. |
