Totally boring and FF-worthy show.

I HATE what has happened to EJ. Who is this giggling,snickering, perpetually horny idiot? EJ was my favorite character and now I cringe when he appears. Where is the evil smirk? Where is the foreknowledge that trips everyone else up? Where is the guy whose brain always went before his libido?

If the reboot consists of homogenized characters, endless screwing with no purpose and unbelievably boring stories it is an utter disaster. For heaven's sake just write some stories that compel and interest viewers. This is not Romper Room where sunshine and lollipops are all we need to see to be happy. The only exciting things I have seen in months was the EJami romp, EJ and Will and Ian giving "punch first ask questions later" Brady a beat down with his cane.

What idiot would vote for Ej? In real life he wouldn't have a prayer.

I think that if Will gets caught as the person who fixed the election, he will say that Nicole told him to fix it in Abe's favor. Just to mess with EJ and his marriage by letting him think that his wife played him. :popcorn:

I dont think its Will that fixed the election. I dont know if Will would go that far. I think Nicole got some outside help...Quinn maybe?

I cant wait to see this episode!

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

I think the guy that offered to fix things to Jen and Abe was a plant - and when they didn't take the bait Nicole stepped in and told him to do it anyway and then made sure he got caught.

I thought it would have been rather poetic for Nicole to tell EJ that there are some things that he just doesn't need to know...when he inquired about the mayoral results. Aside from that, they are one of the most sexiest couples on daytime. Yowza!

I don't get Lexie's big deal. The writers really should have made it so that Abe fixed the results, or that he had more of a devious plan than swapping a few debate questions, especially when Ej was doing it first. Total overreaction from the ever hypocritical Lexie...and will she run back to the Dimeras who are even more devious? Dumb.

Ian freaks me the fuck out. What an odd dude...almost psychotic. Love that! Really fun if he is EJ's dad...especially over Jopes.

Ejole is back to ruining EJ and Nicole as individuals. They're both much better when they're not together. I didn't like their scenes at all.

Shocked to see the Carvers' bedroom, even if it did look like Bo and Hope's bedroom with different furniture. Despite Abe and Lexie's mariage seeming to crumble due to something much less worse than what Lexie's done in the past, it is great to see these two getting some actual story out of all of this. Lexie apart from Abe is much better.

While I agree that Lexie is indeed over-reacting, I think that her reasoning for being so upset is plausible. She thinks that because Abe has been so honest and loyal all of his life, this little lie will be the start of many others, resembling her father and brother. In a way, I think she's so scared that he'd follow their paths that she's testing him and their marriage by wanting to leave with Theo. She's attempting to reassure her insecurities about the men who have let her down in her life.

Got to see all the show and it wasnt bad.

I think Brady has found another woman to saved...Madison. Her story about selling Mad World out of the trunk of her car and Ian finding her and polishing her up reminds me of Nicole's story about Trent. So Madison knew about Ian's feeling towards Kate. Is that why she decided to some to Salem- to destroy her? I guess after finding Brady's love that didnt matter.

I dont see chem between Ian and Kate. All I see is plastic creepiness.

Overall, the whole Abe and Lexie conversation was good. Of course anyone that watched DAYS knew that Lexie was the one who cheated NUMEROUS times and jeopardized their marriage...dont forget the kidnapping too! One point I did agree with Lexie on is how Abe will be known as a liar...his reputation is soiled. That's what put him above EJ...his morals. I do think she's over reacting...but I also understand her being lied to when she questioned him about the debate questions and he flat out lied to her face. I want Lexie to confront Jen too. Some bitchy Lexie would do her some good!

EJole..OMG...HOT! I loved Nicole having fixed the election. I also loved how thankful EJ was to her. She would so kick ass as first lady of Salem. The last scene where Nicole wanted to meet the person who helped her fix the election- I dont think its Will. Its someone that she didnt want EJ knowing about...I would say either Quinn or Steffy. Since she's meeting someone and Steffy's gone I say Quinn. I just think Will would have told EJ.

ITA Liz, I think you nailed the Brady/Madison dynamic. I'm suspicious of the character, hiding the rings smells like intent to deceive to me. Also, anyone doing a little research on Brady would know he has a hero complex. But MarDar seem invested in Bradison so I don't think they'd take it to a darker, more sinister level. Shame because I'm not feeling the Bradison love and I'd prefer to see SJB darker.

Also, I seem to be missing something when Madison's hatred for the affair seems solely directed at Kate even though she acknowledges Kate didn't know IAN was married. She can't possibly have NO feelings for Ian because she was feeling very threatened Kate could have displaced her.

Kate is showing more lust for Ian than love. And she always makes stupid decisions when she's hot for someone. That's one very dangerous game she's playing.

I thought EJole were hot, sexy and very cute today. They're silly in love. Playful, supportive, admiring and united in both their dream for the mayoralty and their desire to bring back everyone to the family fold. Nic's plan was definitely duo fold, to win the election but also, to break up Lexie and Abe. He obviously wasn't bothered by a possibility of her cheating, it seemed he was more concerned with the how (probably the lawyer in him preparing for the defense). What I'm not sure about is, did she rig the election to make it seem like Abe won when didn't so when the eventual recount was performed EJ would win and it would look like Abe tried to cheat? Or did Abe really win and she rigged it after the fact to make EJ the winner but nonetheless setup Abe with the conversations about rigging? Maybe Quinn is involved but I think Will is too which would be genius because once the Brady's discover Will's complicity they'll cover, cover, cover.

**I thought EJ blushed when Nic told him she'd sing Happy Birthday to him when they were done.

LOl @ that Marilyn Monroe line from Nicole to EJ. It was soo hot and I loved how EJole was so happy. Like stealing the election was foreplay for them. They got all hot and bothered...that I didnt even notice the porn music! LOL

I also LOVE SJB as the survivor/victim character. She plays those so well. I'm actually excited about Bradison. (Well...the Madison part of Bradison.)

I really dislike Lexi when she gets like this. She's gonna make Abe move out over the debate questions? Over the top for sure. This will be FF scenes for me.
ITA! Abe forgave her for having hot sweaty sex with his SON, not to mention all the other hotties she cheated with, yet she goes batshit cuz he lied about the election? GMAFB

Didn't Lexie sleep with his brother Jonah, too? Of course, there that whole part she played in the Pacifier storyline years ago where she LIED TO ABE about it and it got her kicked off the police force. That's how she ended up a doctor -- it was suddenly revealed that before she was a cop, she'd gone to medical school and wham/bam she was a doctor in a matter of months.

Dear god, this episode was dull. I REALLY wish they'd stop having the exact same character groups spend whole episodes (or nearly whole episodes) in the exact same location having the exact same conversation (which it typically the exact same conversation the previous episode we saw them). Move. This. Shit. Along.

Color me shocked that they actually gave Abe & Lexie a bedroom. Granted, it's a generic looking bedroom that looks like it was lifted entirely from the pages of a 1980s Sears catalog, but it's a bedroom. Although I do suspect that much of it is merely the Rafe/Carrie/Lexie/Roman/Office/Airport set repurposed. Much like that magic portal in the DiMera mansion that allows EJ/Nicole's bedroom to be in the Salem Inn (since it looks SO much like Austin/Carrie's hotel room). More and more, I'm convinced that Salem exists in a realm far outside the normal space time continuum. It would explain how Kate had that grand love affair with Ian while he was married to Madison (and how she was also a hooker when Chad was born).

What. The. Hell. Is Nicole wearing in the bedroom? And I can't believe she can't be bothered to wear a full robe in the rest of the house. I do appreciate that EJ was appropriately shirtless (and furry), but I thought Nicole was going for a nipple at one point point while she was kissing his chest. And I'm convinced that EJ has the most perpetually erect nipples in daytime. They're ALWAYS hard (either with shirt or without). Meanwhile, I hate how EJ seems to turn into a total puss whenever Nicole's cooter is within 50 feet. IMO, EJ is FAR hotter (and more masculine & sweevil) with Will than with Nicole. She's become like this sex appeal succubus. Personally, I'd like for Will to get the hots for EJ & decide to secretly drug Nicole (LSD?) to drive her crazy or get her out of the way.

At this moment, I would be all in favor of Lexie being hit by a bus. Where's Chelsea & her cell phone when you REALLY need her? Abe stole debate questions that his challenger (your brother) already stole. It's not like he had multiple affairs on you, stole a baby, tried to flip the microchip in his BFF's brain to make him evil, or falsified medical records. Those things are completely understandable and forgiveable. Cheating in a debate is not. I can understand Lexie being upset, but bitch needs to get a grip. Worst. Wife. Ever.

Stop lying Madison. You fought your feels for Brady for all of a hot minute before you were greasing his hot body up with beauty cream and jumping his bone(s).

Seriously. IMO, this show needs a completely story/writing structure overhaul from top to bottom. NOTHING about the way these stories are being told is working.

Today's show was directed by Albert Alarr & written by David A. Levinson.

It wasn't an electrifying episode but I FINALLY saw something in Madison/Bradison that makes me want to watch them now. Ian works wonders for that couple.

Bradison, don't care.
I'd be more interested in the Ian/Kate story if he wasn't trying to make out with Kate like he hadn't walked out on her twenty-ish years ago. I want to like them, I really do, but I need more background on this super important, made up mystery man before I see his tongue down Kate's throat.
Don't get me wrong, I think Lexie should leave Abe for all kinds of reasons but unfortunately switching some questions on her conniving brother isn't one of them. If only it had been Lexie getting back to her DiMera roots, who had switched the questions to ensure her punk ass brother didn't win. I would have enjoyed that much more than this stupidity.
JS is teapotting and AZ was talking like a baby, I guess that's how you celebrate winning an election in Salem.

How many tall green fake plants can there be in Salem? Jeesh.

Kudos to Reynolds and Jones for being so fantastic today, although sometimes their voices get on my nerves.

This Bradison crap is borrrrrring, but it's obvious MarDar considers them the next supercouple of DAYS.

Surprisingly, Ian and Kate have chemistry together. Let's see how long before it's run into the ground, though.
