Yep he also said they are on the skids by summer and it was a little tidbit from SID. It really sounds like he has no story and is just in limbo again.
That's sad. A man that has so many ties to Salem barely gets a story when Rafe, who barely has any ties, is inserted into almost every s/l. I was reading SOC's Two Scoops this morning and Laurisa, the writer of the column for this week, suggested Officer Kent and Lucas as a potential pairing. I would be down for it. It was weird how they had Kent in the background and Roman's shadow but barely let her speak two words. I liked her idea of showing Kent in plain clothes grabbing a beer after hours, bumping into Lucas and that be the stepping stone to a new s/l. His son is currently a suspect in a murder and she is helping to run the investigation. Conflict of interest! Plus she's new, a gorgeous gal and it would be nice to see Lucas interact with someone different for a change. I'd rather watch that unfold than Cafe or Bradison any day of the week.

Officer Kent does have potential and as for Rafe being in almost every SL he is not in more SLs than EJ or anyone else who is on the front burner. I can't wait to see Sonny more this summer. :wub: :wub: :wub: That should hopefully spread out the air time for the actors. I totally agree with you on CAFE and Bradison :puke:

I'll be happy with this show when I can watch one episode and truly enjoy it and be dying to see the next day. That hasn't happened in forever. Even when you enjoy part of an episode and think somethingis developing, then all of a sudden you don't see certain characters for days or weeks at a time (Nicole, Sonny, Maggie, Victor, Brady, etc). It's called getting invested in story. If you can't lay a foundation and build on it, you can't get invested. I want to be invested in Will and Sonny but I also agree that you can't keep Sonny missing for a month and expect to not expect that he'll disappear again. So why would anyone care? "Consistentcy and Balance" is lacking and "Over Exposure" of some characters is hogging up all the airtime.

I love Nicole, but even I don't expect to see her 4 times a week, but I also don't expect not to see her at least twice a week if she's in a developing storyline. Nicole being on 1 day a week here and there is what was killing her character because you didn't understand her motivations because she's acting one way one minute and gone for a week or more at a time and comes back saying and doing things that we have no idea where she stands one minute to the next.

So bottom line, Sami isn't going anywhere, I know, but she also doesn't need to crowd all the airtime. EJ is also on a lot lately, who I love, but a lot of it is wasted time and overkill. But, for example, if Sami wasn't on more than 2 to 3 times a week and other characters got a portion of her airtime to move their stories along, then the show could balance out and actually people could follow and want to follow the stories they like because there will be movement and not some big chunk of time missing where nothing happens or miraculously while they were off screen, all of a sudden they've developed feelings that we didn't get the opportunity to witness on screen.

I really hope TomSell have a grip on balance and not letting one or two characters take over the whole show, because as popular as one pairing may be to some, a whole lot of others may not like them and if that's your "A" story and you have nothing to fall back on, you will turn off viewers. I don't want to FF every scene of the show for redundancy. I want a variety of stories with different couples and characters and that way I should be able to find a reason to watch every day.

I don't see this instant romance people are refering to with Wilson. It's anything but. I have loved them since the first time I saw them together, I wanted them to hook up. It was only afterwards I found out about the plans to bring Sonny in to romance Will. But I definitly seen the looks, and more then friendship brewing between them for a long time. I don't think Wilson would have the fans they do, that want them together, if people didn't see there was more then friendship going on. I have seen it since day one.

I'm super excited and love this spoiler :wub:. Thanks for sharing it :D

I hope they take the WilSon thing slow (and no, writers, not giving them scenes doesn't qualify as giving them a slow build), but I don't think it'd be an insta romance if they didn't. In my opinion, it's been clear that Sonny has been crushing on Will for awhile. People don't give their platonic friends those bashful little glances.

Plus, I think my standards for what is or isn't an insta-romance is lower for the younger set on Days. They're in college. They're not like the 30 year olds who have one date then go get married, or who have a multitude of unplanned pregnancies due to random hookups with near strangers or enemies. Although if anyone was going to act so rashly, it would make more sense for it to be the early 20s group, and not the same people who've been doing this for fifteen years now, but anyway...

what attraction for Rafe? I must be blind cuz I am not seeing it and if I did I think I'd rather poke my own eyes out then witness that crapola! They don't make barf bags big enough between that and the ever repulsive ejami. Honestly, I truly must be blind, cuz I don't see anything there with Rafe and pratically anybody on the show at this point.
Ask Nicole, she is one that imagined herself being with him :shrug: , not to mention her tongue down with Daniel.

Finally-- an interviewer who knew something about Days! :) I was rather surprised when he said that he'll be on about everyday in September-- hoping for a good storyline for him!

I don't see why the writers could't write Lucas with Madison or someone else, him being tied to Sami has not worked any wonders in his favor.

LOL i love how Dan is the one getting all the blame even though Iam sure its Nicole that will start it if something does happen. Dan from the begining told Nicole that he would get her a OBGYN since he wasn't and she insisted he be her doctor anyway and dan complied with her. Since it takes 2 to tango then nicole is just as disgusting as Danielle if not more since she is preganat with someone elses baby(eww) , and what single man say's no to a willing, offering woman? lol
A single man who is a physician with ethics and a sense of decency.He took a medical oath,she did not.I don't have a problem with Daniel helping Nicole for the reasons he gave when she asked why he did not change the labels for the samples after she admitted changing them but I do have a problem with him taking advantage of an emotionally vulnerable pregnant woman who is for all practical purposes without family or any close friends (other than Rafe,the fake baby daddy).
I might have a problem if he were taking advantage of an emotionally vulnerable pregnant woman - but we're talking about Nicole here. Who was clearly shown to be manipulating Daniel based on her reaction during their hug after the results were read. If anyone is being victimized here, it's Daniel.

Even though Nicole is manipulating Dan there's still a code of ethics that a doctor is supposed to go by. I don't care at the end of the day if Dan does end up being Nicole's victim, it wouldn't even happen if Dan was a decent doctor that didn't get turned on at the very site of examining a patient. Nicole isn't innocent by any means, but I'm all for her manipulating the tanman as long as I don't have to endure her admitting to having feelings for the Whorange Perve.

The Dan/Nicole interaction falls completely flat for me. I like scheming Nicole, but her manipulating him rings false for reasons I'm not sure I can articulate. It just seems off.

I know I'm going to be "disliked" for this, but I didn't mind the Rafe/Nicole friendship. It seemed like there was legit bonding over their mutually faithless spouses, and that it really was - against all history and odds - a friendship. Clearly, Cafe was supposed to be the plan and Nicole a bump in that road, but I enjoyed Rafe and Nicole's scenes a hell of lot more than any Cafe scenes or any scenes with Nicole and Dan. I'm not even sure I wanted to see a romance there, but I got why Rafe was doing what he was doing and why they were suddenly so chummy. So, I way prefer Rafe and Nicole scenes. The idea of Dan and Nicole become intimate emotionally or physically just makes me cringe.

Still, my hope is that a recasted Eric returns for Nicole.

Doesn't Nicole have responsibility for her own behavior, her own choices? I don't understand skewering Daniel for getting involved with Nicole when the writing has shown us she's basically using him to get what she wants AND that she's doing all of this to protect the much bigger lie and manipulation she's intent on pulling off regarding the paternity of her baby. Nicole is a lot of things lately but "emotionally vulnerable" just isn't one of them. Vindictive, hypocritical harpy? Yes...definitely.

Code of ethics? That does not mean a thing on this show, considering Daniel practically had feelings or slept with his patients.

I didn't say she was innocent. :shrug: Neither are. I'm just pointing out that if Daniel was such a good doctor he wouldn't be able to be manipulated that easily by a patient. It doesn't take from the fact that I also think Nicole is very wrong as well. I'm just pointing out Daniel's unethical behaviour as a doctor and that I don't feel sorry if he does become a victim in all this, considering I think he was stupid to go along with it to begin with.

Is Lucas in Salem? I dont know why they brought him if he's only going to be Sami's cheerleader and sexual partner. Who knew making stew would get her horny....hell, everything gets her horny. LOL

I think they are bringing in Autumn for Lucas, I think there is a BD interview saying so.


Too bad that Sonny has developed feelings for Will. I wish they would have just remained friends and not be each others' type.


The BD interview ( in SID), said he didn't have a" love interest a job or a place to live and that he would LIKE to have Autumn come on because he was in "No mans land"[....]He definately needs someone besides Sami because it sounds like he is getting the same treatment as in 2010 by TomSell. They NEVER should have made Cassie his sister they actually had chemistry and she wanted him. I only see friendship chemistry now btwn LUMI.
On bolded, I absolutely and vehemently disagree with the heat and fire of a thousand suns, fersure. But, I also don't want to see Lucas reduced to background scenery, so if I can't have my Lumi -- at least for now -- then of course I want to see him happy and involved with someone else. And Lumi or not, he deserves a proper storyline, in addition to being a friend/latent love interest to Sami and father to his kids (I miss you, Allie). As for Cassie and Lucas, gah blech - I never, ever saw any chemistry there....just goes to show how subjective a thing that is. Yes, I liked someone being interested in Lucas...but ew, no. Not her.

That is sad that Lumi is on the skids my July - I hadn't heard that or seen that interview (is it online somewhere)...? But, it's not like Lumi is in full-force right now or anything. What a rip-off of a reunion. I am slightly offended. Bringing Autumn in would be great, esp. if it ignited Sami's jealous ire. She may still be in love with Rafe (debatable), but we have seen that she can't give up feeling for anyone, it seems....so a triangle of some sort is still a possibility, methinks.

While Ericole to me at least beats Dicole and Racole hands down at the end of the day I still want Nicole to end up with her bad boy Ej. :wub: The thought of a vixen like Nicole ending up with a good guy is rather depressing at least for me.

I will say I respect your opinion and that I too once really loved LUMI but after Rafe came on loved SAFE more. and made my peace that LUMI would never be left alone by Kate. I did read that quote now can it be taken out of context?, sure SID after all is a CBS magazine but like I said BD said the same thing as I already said in the examiner paley interview and alluded that Sami would be going in "another direction". I like Lucas and would welcome a SAFE LUMI triangle because both guys truely love her and she them but as I said I would hate for the same thing to happen to Lucas again as in 2010. He if he is not to be with Sami and again Galen''s comments in interviews point to things looking up for SAFE again, than he needs someone that will truely love him or he will once again be treated as in the past under the new/ old regime who werent interested in writing for him and then eventually writing him out. I just hope whatever goes down btwn LUMI that they handle it maturely because at the end of the day they are friends first and I have evolved to liking them that way best. :)
