Dacole sex COULD be a turning point. My biggest issue with Nicole is her playing the victim card instead of taking action. Daniel seems like a perv to me because he's always doing a vajayjay exam of his patients. What if Nicole is using that knowledge to set up Dr. Dan up? Once he has sex with his pregnant patient, she's got him literally balls to the wall. Any medical test that EJ demands regarding this baby, Taniel has no choice but to come through with Nicole's desired results. And isn't Eric supposed to be returning soon? Since the only two women left in his age range will be Nicole and Sami, Eric has to be Nicole's new love interest. Nicole pulling the same sort of scam that she did when they were together provides built in conflict, none of this meet and declaring soulmate status the following Thursday. Assuming this way it goes down, I don't see either character destroyed. In fact, Days finally addressing Dr. Orangelove's propensity for sexing his patients might actually make the character palatable, that and totally changing how he's groomed. :toetap:
This would be the ONLY way I could stomach Nicole willingly sleeping with that sweaty little eggbaby Doctor. If she's doing it just so she could blackmail him. I keep clinging to that scene a few months ago where she threw it in his face that he is a patient-screwing pervert. If they try to push some phony attraction or "We-just-pulled-them-out-of-our-ass" feelings, I'll be done. There's no way I'll watch my favorite character in wuv with Dr. Stinky Balls! UGH :puke:

I don't put a lot of stock in supposed facts on soaps. Reality doesn't come into play. How many times have the writers "forgotten" character history? Miracles, unrealistic storylines happen all the time. Why shouldn't Nicole conceive? Even in real life nature defies human predictability and logic. That being said, I would like to see the real Nicole surface. The one who will take EJ to the cleaners, because the real Nicole would. IMO she's manipulating Dan to do her bidding, she's using Rafe, and she'll make sure EJ gives her everything he's got.
The Nicole I've known and loved for decades would be busy calculating the exact amount of alimony and child support EJ owes her down to the last cent.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I love that we are finally getting Ejole. I love that Nicole is getting sneaky again. I can hardly wait to see what havoc the ejole baby will reek on Salem.
Where does it say you are finally getting EJole?
EJole has been on for years and is on their second baby story. We had EJole 1.0, 2.0, 3.0. I'm not sure if we are on 4.0 or more 3.0. This is similar to Ejole 1.0 which was pretty good really, so this is like a bad remake version of 1.0. Kind of like Highlander 3 was a redo of Highlader 1. Now in all fairness, Lumi have had about 6 versions and EJami 3 or 4. So I don't think any fans have been shorted, other than things never went smoothly in any of these cases, which will never happen because this is a soap. :shrug:

I take what I enjoy from the show and toss the rest. Like I won't be watching reprehensible, gross Dicole sex. I am looking forward to tomorrow and Lexies last scenes and her memorial. I enjoy the EJami scenes they've been showing because I think the actors are fun together and it's a relief to see the characters acting like human beings. I like Lucas, and I like Nicole, and don't want to see them written into corners like they have Lucas -again. I like Lucas and Sami, I've enjoyed them over the years, and during the last few months, though it feels like Sami has moved on and Lucas hasn't. Lumi were given some good stories that I enjoyed. They hated each orher and did some terrible things, but moved past it and became close. Sami and EJ can do the same, but they have to be given the same chance to put things in the past. I admit I don't understand the appeal of EJ and Nicole. They're like a watered down EJami and I've liked Nicole so much better with other guys. I'm excited about the idea of Eric coming back and being put in her orbit. She deserves to be someones first choice and true love.

I dont buy that some couples nasty things they've done to each other are better or worse than the nastly things a different couple did to each other. A lot of it is the luck if the draw, who the writers were when they decided to fuck the couple up. Dena was a hack and went to extremes. Sami should never have shot EJ, and EJ shouldn't have done Rafe 2. I didn't buy that either would do those things. It was reprehensable writing for shock value. Lazyass writing. The whole story was out there in crazy land, and I think Dena was off her medication. Its almost not fair to throw it at EJamis because it was so rediculous. This thing with Dancole sex is the same thing. It's so disgusting and insane, I'm willing to never speak of it again. LOL. The writers do this shit, not the characters. Anyway, all these couples are so fucked up, I cant say my favorite characters bad behavior is ok because someone else's was much worse.

I refuse to watch Rafe/Safe, both should die painfully and can't hold a candle to either Lumi or EJami who have interesting histories and relationships because of all the fucked up stuff they've done, as well as the nice moments they've shared. I feel a bond between Sami and those two guys I never felt from Safe. I say rejoice in the fucked up because it's never boring. In a soap, you do have to move on from the fuckery, otherwise you're left with two options. You can rationalize the crazy stuff your favorites did, which is impossible, other than saying yours is worse than mine, which is a weak argument. Or, you can have the characters act realistically, which means you'll have no characters left outside prison, and speaking to each other accept Roman and Abe. God that would be boring. I can see the promo now. Watch "The Roman and Abe Show." We guarantee no fuckery and absolutely no entertainment. Just a couple of ex partners eating Chinese takeout while watching WWF pay per play.
I appreciate a lot of what is contained in this post - thank you. I appreciate the honesty and objectivity, as well as the Lumi shout outs. :P Nono - not ignoring what else was said and what other couples were mentioned, just being selective =)

I am no Ejami fan. But I find myself conflicted sometimes. I know the reasons I do not like them, and to say the crimes they've committed against each other make them a non-rooting couple is a sufficient defense for me. But I can't not admit that Lumi had a dark past as well, and have moved past it. That dysfunction is a part of why I like them so much. Their angry kissy moments - love them. Their fights have also been compelling and exciting to see, and I just know there was such passion and true love and hurt feelings simmering beneath it all. That they were volatile was very, very exciting -- made them so interesting and unique. And made them believable -- that they had been through hell and back, and theirs wasn't an over-night love, gave them some heft and, strangely, realism even in a soap opera world. That they were able to forgive each other and find such an epic love - that was just testament to me about how much they cared for each other.

So I have to ask myself, if Sami could move past her past (passed her past?) with Lucas, could not she and EJ do the same? And then I shake my head vigorously so it doesn't implode from contemplating such an unfathomable (but yet not) notion. I can say Ejami's crimes are greater than Lumi's, but that is indeed a week argument, and could go on forever. Then it just boils down to which couple I like. And, well, there is no changing that I guess, but there is also no real argument either. Round and round we'd go.

I am not sure it's totally fair to say you can't throw Sami shooting EJ or Rafe 2 in "Ejamis'" or anyone else faces. You might say it was out of character; I kinda thought it was in character for Sami to shoot EJ. She's done to it Alan - the girl has it in her. And that was also soap delicousness b/c it was way out there. It seems anyone can use the "WTF-ery, out of character" argument to protest against any storyline or character development he or she doesn't like. I could say that Sami was written way out of character in 2007, and would never look twice at her rapist after her history with Alan. Or never look twice at someone she felt made her believe he cared about her, just to find out it was lies. But it happened. It happened and I can protest all I want, but it happened. It won't keep me from complaining it was OOC, but to be objective I have to just absorb it, reassess my feelings, weave it into the fabric of the show's history, and move on. That is just my opinion.

As for EJole, I do like them together and feel Ejami is a poor-man's version of them =) I just think Nicole is better suited for EJ, so if we get some EJole scenes this week, I am glad. But you are right - we have seen Ejole before, as well as some kind of lying-about-Ejole-pregnancy story before.

We are firmly in agreement about Safe, for every reason you listed. And hooray for finding common ground =)

So it seems like this week we are getting a little bit of all these pairings. And that is annoying. Wonder if the crumb-throwing writing will continue under TomSell.

Fast Forward to 6:30. The original problem was with natural conception, not pregnancy.
Those clips are a trillion times better than the best we get now. It's rather amazing what 10 years will do.

Wow, it's rare that I agree with pretty much everything in a long post (honestly, it's rare that I read everything in a long post), but I loved this one. I'm right there with you on your take on all the EJ/Sami/Lucas/Rafe/Nicole couplings, as well your reaction to how this show is written. Once a character is established in my mind and I like the character, I have a hard time holding a fucked up story against then, because I just see it as a bad writing choice. Some writers decide to write characters/couples I like in a fucked up way and other writers don't. So if a new writer comes along and starts writing that character/couple in the way I like again, I can forget the bad stuff. I hold the gross storylines against the writers, not the characters. However, if a character is written in a fucked up or inconsistent way for too long though, I do stop caring about them. That's happened a lot over the last few years.

Anyway, nice post.

While I LOVE Lexie, it seems odd that her memorial spans a week and a half and they basically put Stefano in a box, had a scone and some tea and then shipped him off to Italy in one episode.

I don't see why this is a big deal. Ej sent Nicole to jail mostly because he was angry and hurt by her and I forgave him that so I'll forgive Nicole too and Ej banged a pig and a twig while married to Nicole so I'll forgive Nicole her whore-ange ommpa loompa. As long as they don't start raping or trying to kill each other I'm good. Hell I even forgave Todd punching Tea on OLTL once upon a time but couldn't bring myself to for give him telling Blair her son was dead when he wasn't mmmm :shrug: I also wouldn't want either of them to force the other to go straight. I like them bad and manipulating even if it is sometimes with each other like right now as long as I still believe they love each other (and I definitely do) I'm ok with this. I do think however that mardar where trying hard to assassinate the Nicole character so I'm glad those hacks are gone. What they don't see is they screwed up every other character in the process. Taniel was suppose to stop this crap because everyone hated it = fail Sami doesn't give a crap her son is being blackmailed making her look like an even crappier slut of a mother (if thats possible) = Fail Ej getting beaten down AGAIN and rolling around in rock bottom while no one else pays for their deeds = fail The fact that the still haven't gotten me to invest in any other characters on the show = huge FAIL
I know this is completely off-topic but OMG I think that Todd telling Blair that Jack was dead was truly one of the worst thing he's ever done to Blair, but that was one awesome baby storyline, I did forgive him for that (and pretty much everything else he's ever done), mostly because of the dialogue in his scenes with David, the nuns, and then with the guy that thought he was "Ditter's" father. It was absolutely hilarious. It's kind of hard to hold a grudge about something that I'm laughing about. Too bad we can't get that kind of writing on Days. C'est la vie.

Also, keep in mind that MarDar might have been canned much earlier than when the actual announcement was made to the public. It's also possible that Tomlin was already sketching out things ("plotting") prior to that -- in unofficial consultations with Bruce Evans, Sr VP at NBC.

I'm not disagreeing that we're still seeing MarDar's stuff and will continue to do so for a while. Just pointing out that official dates and actual dates don't always line up. It's highly unlikely that this regime change happened overnight.

I agree but I don't think that they rewrote a certain number of epis the way mardar did. We heard of inserted/rewritten to fit Justin and Adrienne somewhere in there, we've seen the cut Ian walking stick spoiler and I suspect others. I have reason to believe that was tomsells edits. We know that what we are seeing now is mardar's work even if they got canned even before we heard. I think that by mid July we should see a more clear direction and that IMHO is when we can credit tomsells more. However I still don't get why it's do inconceivable to think that maybe when tomsell came they ended all storylines and shifted gears. It's what normally happens in a writing change, look at what happened when Tomlin/dena got canned and mardar took over. That is exactly what occured.
When MarDar came on board, I think they were subject to the whims of a number of people, each of whom wanted to impose their story ideas, right up until the time they were let go. The BTS infighting for control of the show absolutely affected the writing.

The difference now, I believe, is that NBC has taken firm control, and will make the story line decisions. Tomlin does not have autonomy, IMO. Whether that is good or bad for the show remains to be seen.
Yes, there is no doubt that it is NBC who decides what should be written. And it remains to see if they have a better vision and better sense of what is interesting and good drama, the writers task is probably to write what the big boss wants.

I can't even partake in the back and fourth about the rationality of the Dicole sex scene spoilers since I think all of MarDar's writing is WTF. Horrible and no one is acting rationally or like their former selves. Didn't James say he started keeping a log book of EJ's emotions because they differed from scene to scene?

So basically, these days I watch Days expecting the worse, pinching my nose and holding my breath until TomSell.

I'm just grateful for some Ari Zucker scenes and I don't really care if she sleeps with Daniel, I just hope she doesn't have repetitive dialogue because there are only so many ways Zucker can work her magic on "this baby is NOT yours" and she ran out of them months ago. Now, I can almost see her cringing at the thought of having to say it again.

Once a character is established in my mind and I like the character, I have a hard time holding a fucked up story against then, because I just see it as a bad writing choice. Some writers decide to write characters/couples I like in a fucked up way and other writers don't. So if a new writer comes along and starts writing that character/couple in the way I like again, I can forget the bad stuff. I hold the gross storylines against the writers, not the characters. However, if a character is written in a fucked up or inconsistent way for too long though, I do stop caring about them. That's happened a lot over the last few years.

Anyway, nice post.
I completely agree with both of you as well on all points. Says it so perfectly for me a 'like' didn't seem enough. Thanks!

I really don't know why the writers have such a jones for Daniel, and now it seems Nicole/AZ is to be sacrificed on the altar of his peen. EJ/Nicole have a long, interesting history. They are apparently recasting Eric. Madison is out the door. There are so many things that could be done with the character, who has grown a lot over the years.

I don't even mind the idea of her and Rafe scheming to keep the baby from EJ (as long as all is revealed eventually), though I would rather see the writers make the bold and unheard of move of keeping them friends. Though the wind has been kind of taken out of that plot by EJ not believing that the baby isn't his and being more concerned with hanging around Will.

As for poor Sonny, I hope he has an offscreen boyfriend like Will has. I don't mind at all the Will is dating someone else given Will is in no place to be in a real relationship at this point. Sonny is out of his league. And I say that as a Wilson fan. But I do see potential there with Sonny falling for someone who is mostly on his best behavior with Sonny (mostly) but has a dark side that always causes friction. It could be good.

I don't get the impression that Will is dating anybody. Him and Neil are just friends. Neil was only a plot point for Will to come out as being gay because it was more shocking that way. Just as I doubt Sonny is dating nor will be dating anybody since he's into Sonny. Brian will probably be around for may a few episodes. But I like how they have showed both Will and Sonny friends with other gay characters.

Friday ("The Memorial Service")
A tribute to Lexie takes place at Chez Rouge; Sami comforts EJ; Nicole and Daniel grow closer.
So much for Nicole manipulating and using Daniel.
I guess the writers forgot about that little smirk during the hug, after their sucking face-fest. Maybe they didn't know which way they wanted to go with this story, but of course they opted for the woman being under the fine doctor's spell, just like every other patient woman. :drunk:

I'm SO glad Sami is there for EJ. :wub:

Thanks for posting!
