Wow...Judy is fired and the promo's improve ten fold...coincidence?

She sucked at her job...this preview was MUCH MUCH improved!

Good move there NBC!
Judy was fired? I hate to see anyone lose their job but the Days PR dept SUCKS! It needs a major overhaul. The promos for the upcoming week are coming out in a more timely manner as are the sneak peeks now.

Yes, she and the ENTIRE NBC Promo dept were let go last week....they have brought in a whole new person/team to do the NBC and DAYS promos now.

Once, just once I would love to see EJ punch the shit out of Rafe instead of standing there taking the punches. Enough of EJ being the show's whipping post. Let him get pissed off and lose it on the arrogant jerk.
There was the once Ej threw a punch and Rafe stood there and took it.

I think Ej deserves a punch for being able to get it up after hearing his son just died.
:applause: :cheers: :applause: Priceless! The two piggies in a blanket think their son is dead and all they can do is boink on the couch to "ease the pain!" Oh Please!!! I only hope Rafe got in more than one punch! I so look forward to this episode! :popcorn: :wine:

Hopefully the promos will be longer than 16 seconds.

Well I'll contend the promo is better because they actually have something soapy to promote for a change vs watching Bope and Stefano with letters and keys for weeks. But Comcast is in process of restructuring so there are more changes coming to the network. If they are smart they'll hire the promo team from Fox or ABC. Both networks have great promos.

I saw no improvement in quality for this promo over Judie's promos, but then it's hard to make a promo not suck when it has to feature Sami's bad hair and blank reaction--if you had the sound off you'd think Rafe was asking her how she could have let the meatloaf burn or something. I am mildly interested that the focus is primarily on Sami and Rafe's fight and not about how EJ and Nicole react. With Lucas returning next week and Rafe rushing to reveal hypocrisalooza to Carrie, it does look like Sami and Rafe are going to be juggling other love interests right away. I don't expect Lucas and Sami to be immediately romantically involved, of course, but I do think that they will try for sexual tension in their scenes and the countdown clock is certainly ticking for Rafe and Carrie to have some "why not?" feelings-soothing sex. Which reminds me, I'm still dreading finding out what Melanie's part in sabotaging Carrie and Austin's romantic getaway is.

Do we actually know if this wasn't her work? I'm sure they do the promos more than a week in advance.

I will say the promo was a lot better than normal, but the material is also a lot better. I hate most DAYS promos and think that Judy did a horrible job of picking what material to air in them. There always seems to be at least one intriguing thing happening per week and she hardly ever picked that particular scene. I also hate how they always focus on one storyline. Even in 20 seconds you can at least show a couple quick scenes from multiple storylines. Can't wait to see if they continue to improve.

ITA. I think the content is better but thats to be expected considering it's a major reveal.

As far as Sami/Rafe being the most featured, well that's where the bulk of the story has been played so thats no shock. Aside from the Will angle, very little of this has played into the EJ/Nicole side.

Its not even about EJ being the villian. Which he isnt in this case. He made a stupid moronic mistake. Why is he always the town punching bag? Other people fuck up and they dont get their faces bashed in. :shrug: Quinn gets brady and daniel to kiss his ass when they should have given him a beatdown. Austin doesnt even get to touch Rafe. Whatever . No wonder james wasnt happy with this kinda writing. The villian should not get their face bashed in like that.
Well personnally I've never gotten the whole...."I'm gonna beat your ass for screwing my wife" approach...You see Rafe.... had your wife not...shall we say "opened up" to Ej....she would not have gotten screwed now would she??
The same reason that Sami completely blames Carrie for what happened with her and Rafe.

It's VERY realistic. Human nature is to blame the other party involved rather than face a betrayal by someone you deeply love.

Finally, some soapy fallout. This still should have happened at the Safe vow renewal (but not in December) in the middle of HTS or something with more witnesses around. Whatever though.

I hope Galen's acting plays out as good as it appears.

EJ deserved to be punched here by Rafe. EJ slept with Rafe's wife. Nicole does not deserve to punch Sami. Nicole walked away from EJ. They were 'on a break'.

What sucks is that there were times where EJ should have beaten Rafe to a bloody pulp. For starters when EJ found out Rafe was going to raise Grace as his own knowing EJ was her father, I wanted EJ to beat the shit out of him. He got in one little punch. Not enough. When I see Rafe hit EJ, justified or not, it pisses me off a little because I remember.

It's good to hear that the promos are being aired at primetime. Hopefully the show gets a good bump in the ratings. I know I have been waiting for this moment a while. :popcorn:

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

Saw the promo tonight during The Voice. Nice to see Days getting prime time coverage. Definitely agree the damage from that one punch seems worse on the big screen. Really wish they'd let EJ get in one or two of his own.
