The collars that Sami and Jennifer are both wearing are HORRIBLY unflattering. They both look like they don't have a neck. |

"Those who muck with us get mucked." WTF? Shut up. EJ and Stefano have been wanting Lexie back in the fold for as long as Nicole can remember. So for about four years. |

He can keep explaining it. I do not believe Stefano would be afraid of Alice's envelope. He's too cocky to really be scared of this stupidity. |

Yeah, Hope. If you want to prove that Gran's signs have led to good, don't mention eggbaby or IOUs. LMAO @ Hope's reaction. Not good. |

So yeah. I thought today sucked. All of the actors were off, the dialogue was inconsistent, and the "dramatic" moments were incredibly lame. |

I've only read a couple of pages of this thread and watched the teaser, but I just had to post. 1) EJ is upset because someone else cheated and did a better job of it than he did. Never underestimate your opponent, EJ. 2) Loved the look on Sami's face at the end of the teaser. Can't wait for Sami's/Carrie's claws to come out now. |

Seriously Rafe, it's apparent you never cheated before because defending the honor of the woman you were caught kissing is not going to garnish you points with your wife. I don't know, I got a kick out EJole being so indignant on getting out cheated. |

I enjoyed today's episode for the most part. I did not enjoy Sami's screeching about how she felt so betrayed by what her sister and her husband did to her. I cannot wait to see how Will will give it to her when he finds out how she reacted to the kiss after she slept with EJ. Sami is acting like her marriage is so perfect and she/Rafe are not having any problems the only reason that appears to be is because she did not get caught cheating on Rafe like Rafe was just caught. I wonder how Rafe will react to Sami sleeping with EJ when he finds out about it all the things she was saying today can be said right back to her. We know Sami you wont forget and we will have to hear about this for years to come and then next time you do something wrong it will be because of this. I really liked Kate's outfit today and I like her hair when it is straightened out like that. I enjoyed her interaction with Austin we do not get to see much of that. I was kind of surprised to see him at the Dimera Mansion but I know he did that for Kate's benefit. I always love scenes with Kate and Stefano together. Though it was kind of weird when she said "us" because Austin doesn't like Stefano and he would never tell hm anything. The look on Austin's face when Stefano touched his shoulder now that was funny. I do not think that he wanted to be there he was just there to see his mother I can tell he does not like Kate being married to Stefano he is just tolerating it because it makes Kate happy. I wish that Stefano would just open that damn envelope I am dying to know what is inside of it. I wonder if he will tell Kate what is inside when he opens it. I do not see him telling anyone if it is going to be as bad as Stefano thinks it will be, and I think that it will be. This will probably be something that Stefano does not want anyone to know that is why he insisted to Kate that he open the envelope on his own and deal with whatever it is on his own. I think that this secret is going to be a direct blow to Stefano, maybe even cost his something tha the is not willing to lose so he will probably definitely keep it quiet until someone discovers the secret on their own. Nothing really to say about the EJ/Nicole scenes today they did not really grab me too much. Stefano warned you Hope I bet now you wish you would have listened to him and left well enough alone. Now I really want to see what Alice had on Stefano. He is really scared to know what it is because Stefano has always been in the position where he knows everything he rarely finds himself in the spot where someone knows something or has something on him and he not know what it is. It is going to drive him crazy not knowing what Alice knew that he did not until he opens that envelope. |

I'm so glad I don't have to watch Hope debate about opening/not opening the envelope for one more day. When will this nightmare end? MAKE. IT. STOP!!! This had better be a HUMONGOUSLY devastating secret that Alice had on Stefano to debilitate him this much – especially since he hasn't even opened the stupid envelope yet. Stefano would never be this rattled unless it's something so utterly catastrophic unless of course Kate has been slipping some Prozac in his brownies because he's really mellowed with age. I feel bad for Lexie who will no doubt get caught in the middle of the fallout but I seriously hope Nicole and EJ wipe the floor with Jennifer and Abe - Jennifer in particular! I wish it could be Jack to wipe the smug simpering smirk off her face but eh, EJ and Nicole aren't emotionally attached to her and hence will no doubt do a better job at it! I can't believe I'm about to say this but I really liked Austin today!!! And I've NEVER liked Austin (either version). I loved him in the scenes with Kate and Stefano (it was so nice to see him out of the realm of Carrie) and his reaction to finding out about the face-sucking-fest was really moving. You could see how crushed he really was. Poor guy! Rafe and Carrie . . . there are no words. :shame: I know Sami cheated on Rafe but they don't know that yet and the indignant way they were acting about it was just pathetic. "We were just celebrating by playing tonsil hockey" doesn't fly! And I'm sorry, I know Carrie has suffered a lot at the hands of Sami, and yes Sami is certainly no innocent, but at this particular point in time I don't think Carrie should have said a word other than to apologize. She shouldn't have dredged up the past to justify her actions at this present time. That was lame. She was the one at this time (she'll get her turn to gloat later when the Scandal comes out) who was in the wrong. Then again I guess you do kind of have a memory like an elephant when it comes to sibling fights hey? :P Regardless of whether or not she cared about Sami's feelings in this she should have still felt bad about hurting Austin at least and she definitely didn't show that either. Rafe was just so unconvincing (is he ever though?) about being sorry. And asking Sami like "can't we just get over it, move past it?" :shame: Maybe that would be a legitimate thing to say to her if she's still harping on about it a year from now but two minutes after it happened???? Sheesh!!! I loved AS's and PM's performances today and I am very glad that Cafe will mean the end of Safe but wow the writing of Cafe is really chessy/pathetic/lazy. |

Today was... uneven at best. It was like they had a mandate to include as much WTFery as possible in 40 minutes. Today's DAYS was directed by Grant A. Johnson (who directed last Friday's show) and written by Peter T. Rich. When Stefano was remembering how Carrie ran around that house when she was a kid, I shouted "NO SHE DIDN'T!" First of all, the DiMeras didn't OWN that fucking house when Carrie was a little girl. That house was Kim & Shane's house until they left town and Tony bought it for Kristen (and it eventually got handed off to Stefano). The DiMera house that Carrie *might* have run around in (and I still highly doubt that ever happened) was originally Kellam Chandler's mansion which was then bought by Stuart Wyland when Kellam died. After Stuart died, Stefano & Tony moved in and it was in this house that Renee had her big "tell off Salem" party and then was murdered. After Stefano died/returned/died, Neil Curtis (who married Liz Chandler) ended up buying the house and remained there until he (and the house) faded from the show in the early 1990s. It hasn't been seen since. I don't know why Abe doesn't just say that he did find the debate questions in EJ's drawer and simply replaced them with fake "prep" questions that he had on him to teach EJ a lesson for cheating. Not entirely the truth, but a plausible explanation that nips the entire scenerio in the bud. EJ/Nicole wouldn't be able to pin Abe for cheating without openly admitting that they were planning to cheat, too. And, seriously, as much as Jennifer annoys me lately, I'd love for her to punch Nicole in the face. Nothing annoys me more than liars & cheats getting all pissy & uppity when someone else lies & cheats. And when the FUCK did Lexie turn into Pollyana?! Memo to Abe: you lied about a debate. A DEBATE. Against a known criminal, abuser, victimizer, and general all-around LOUSE. If Lexie gets pissed, you should ask her when she's planning to take another baby. Or when she plans on turning Hope into Princess Gina again via a brain chip. Or when she plans to having another affair with the first piece of dark chocolate that catches her eye. The only reason Abe might be considered boring is that he's stood by her ridiculous, lying, skank ho ass for so many years. Sami throwing wild accusations at Carrie didn't bother me in the least and I didn't view it as revisionist history on the part of the show. I saw it as revisionist history on the part of SAMI and completely believeable and valid from her (not entirely accurate) point of view. Yes, we as viewers saw things differently, but that's not how Sami saw things (and, even if she did see them as they really were, that doesn't mean she wouldn't "color" the retelling of events in a way that totally changed the events). Every time Stefano & Kate get lovey-dovey, I'm reminded that he forced her to marry him by blackmailing her over the fact that she tried to kill Chloe and Daniel. <sarcasm> It's a true love match. </sarcasm> Bo. Hope. Shouldn't you be discussing this AT HOME. Oh, yeah. I forgot. You don't have one of those anymore because of the Town Square That Ate Salem. The only thing all of Bo/Hope's scenes at the Horton house are missing are Tangina sweeping the rooms for traces of approval and guidence from Tom & Alice. And, Hope, I have sign for you. It says "You're a fucking idiot. Get on with it." She gasp. He hands fluttered. She dropped the paper and it drifted to the floor. My eyes rolled. When Sami speaks when she's angry, she reminds me of the screeching bird woman in that one commercial set in the office where she squaks and shatters the glass (although I forget what product it was for). |

Kristian Alfonso was HORRIBLE today. Really, I think her acting has gotten so much worse over the years. If you can't emote, please don't pretend to by scrunching up your face and trying to make your chin quiver. And the difference in capability between her and Peter is sooo glaringly obvious. I'd rather she take a clue from GG and just be stone-faced. I think. Stefano being diabetic and them talking about it all the time, and having Kate check his sugar, etc., just makes him appear weak. Stefano is not supposed to appear weak. And now he's scared shitless about this secret. Blah. Makes me want to hug him and I should NOT want to hug Stefano Dimera. The kiss with Rafe and Carrie fell kinda flat. The build up to it came off as friendly, not passionate. There wasn't any noticeable tension until they pulled away from each other and then it was like the actors suddenly remembered they were supposed to be playing it as if they were attracted to each other. I do think GG and CC have chemistry but the scene sucked. And they're rushing it, IMO. PM was great today. AS wasn't grating, as she normally is, but still got on my nerves. Sami is nothing but a hypocritical bitch and I truly hope she gets everything she has coming to her. PLEASE let Marlena face her up. Nothing elaborate. It doesn't have to be. It can just be a couple of lines, but DH can make those two lines enough. Jennifer is just...bad. Really, bad. She's like a fifth wheel in the mayoral story. I kind of like the competitiveness between EJ and Abe, and Nicole egging it on, but I don't like Lexie being all holier-than-thou. A saint she is not. |

Watching LIVE for the first time in a long time... My favorite line of the day was from EJ toasting "those who muck with us, will get mucked". WTF! I think what I really love about EJ and Nicole were today's scenes...EJ was a nasty little hypocrite to Abe, and Nicole had some evil little smirks about ruining their lives. It was lovely. They are both such nasty little badasses. It's beautiful to watch them be so bad together. And the difference between their hypocracy and Safe/Sami's (because both were being such fucking hypocrites) is that EJ and Nicole own it and use it. Sami is so much up her own ass that she can't see that what she did is worse than what Rafe did. 10 minutes prior, she was begging for Will's forgiveness and all of that is forgotten when Rafe does 1/10th of a she did. She kicks him out. Oh, and Austin looks so old. Especially next to Kate. Bad casting all around, I don't care if he is a vet. He looks like grandpa in the Caustin/Safe quad. I still love him though. Hope just did some bad acting when she opened her letter. If all it said was that she and John were married, that response was way OTT. It's really nice not having Melanie around. |

The episode was a mixed bag. On one hand, alot was going on (mostly with Austin/Carrie/Rafe/Sami) but, on the other, the episode was sloppily written. First off, was that really Carrie and Rafe's excuse? They were excited? No surprise CC and GG struggled with acting those scenes out because that was one of the stupidest excuses I've ever heard. Terrible writing there. I like what Sami and Austin got in the scenes though and thought AS and PM did fine. I liked the Austin/Carrie and Sami/Rafe scenes too. You could see that Sami only did what she did to Rafe at the end because of what she did more than what Rafe did. They both messed up now so she's thinking of just putting their marriage out of it's misery it seems. That reference to Carrie running around the house from Stefano was dumb too. Poor historical research there. I did like the Stefano/Kate scenes though and was happy Austin and Kate finally shared scenes again. LK looked pretty good today too. The show definitely looks better IMO. The colors "pop" more. Aside from EJ and Nicole scheming together (which was awesome) and the hints that they are going to destroy Abe and Lexie's marriage and bring her back to the Dimera fold (which is awesome as well), I thought the scenes were a mess. I don't like how they are writing Lexie as some sort of moral compass whose done nothing wrong. They can rectify this somewhat later by having Abe throw the shit she's done in her face but it still is dumb. Also, I don't get why Abe and Jennifer are even lying to Lexie given what EJ was going to do. I really hate how naive Abe, Lexie, and Jennifer have been throughout this campaign. It's politics. How else do you think your going to be able to win an election? Even the so called "good, honest" people have to get their hands dirty to win because their opponent is going to resort to unsavory tactics. I can understand them not going too far but little things like what Abe and Jennifer just did are nothing. Anyway, the scenes came off like the Bo/Hope/Stefano scenes last weel. They went around in circles a bit. Speaking of Bo and Hope, wow...what has happened to KA? She's been awful of late. Way too over the top. I'm sick of the constant scenes of Bo and Hope talking about boxes and envelopes. Can we at least interact them with other characters while they do this just to make it different? At least it's over now and they finally know what the secret was. All in all, not to bad but coming off last week (especially Thursday and Friday) this was quite the dropoff. |

It was a rough day for Safe and Rafe fans today and tomorrow is going to be worse, but if KC hasn’t lied to us, I believe Safe will work through there problem and reunite in the future, until then I have 3 years of memories and youtube videos of a beautiful love story! I will not support Rafe or Sami with a different partner after watching a true supercouple that loves each other for the right reason. They fall into the scheme of love, romance, and family that KC wants for the show! I really think they need to give Austin and Carrie some acting lessons, they were pathetic! Thank God Hope opened that damn box and finally today opened the envelope, months of open the box, don't open the box, then open the envelope don't open the envelope is ridiculous this is suppose to be compelling TV! There is not one S/L worth watching right now, I don't have a connection with everyone on the show, it's just words floating through the air with no substance! They aren't making me believe in anything on the show! SAD..... |

I get the feeling that this secret of Stefano's is going to be EXPLOSIVE and Stefano will take some sort of blow here. He is so scared of what is in that envelope and the fact that he may not be able to do anything about whatever is in that envelope he told Kate that this time he may not be the master of his own destiny. I am thinking that this secret is centered directly on Stefano and he is going to be the one who gets hurt by it. All I gotta say is after all of this I really hope that this secret is not disappointing. I wonder what Stefano's reaction will be when he opens his envelope hopefully it is better than Hope's. |

Yeah, Bo and Hope just aren't doing it for me anymore. Hopefully this Alamainia throws some excitement into the mix. Pretty pleased with the Sami/Rafe/Carrie/Austin fallout today. I liked Sami calling Carrie out about cheating on her husbands before, but I was still hoping that Carrie would punch Sami in the face when she got all close to Carrie. Really enjoyed PM and CC today. Makes me super glad they hired Muldoon back to play Austin instead of Peck! |
