Photo shoots don't mean anything SL wise. I think they just chose them to promote DAYS and it makes sense because AS has BL also on NBC and JS is one of the leads on DAYS. Now I am not saying that they wont be connected in story as I already said because the PTB love to focus on the foursome of AS GG AZ and JS. No matter the couplings they ultimately go with which IMO is no where near being decided likely until DAYS gets cancelled. Its all a ploy by NBC to string us all along but as I have also said we will see soon enough what TomSell do and if those photos mean anything to story when IMO it could just be publicity for DAYS.
sometimes they do and sometimes they do not. We don't know def. about these but in the past they have been indicative of the pairings that TPTB are currently focused on. for eg. the pics in the park were AS/GG and AZ/JS which was what was on our screens for a while; so the same can be argued with these AS/JS and without the other two even being included in some form or fashion the argument can be made even further.

yeah we will know soon enough and fongers crossed it does.
Its all wait and see at this point... But I also just want to say that the site that the pics were orginally on had other actors from other NBC shows so I don't think this photo shoot was specific to just DAYS And that could be why the other actors werent included. We shall see though.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I saw the scenes as well many times, even read James interview where he talked about choosing to not go full out, but at the end of the day his actions were still quite clear and Nicole herself right after said EJ tried to kill her. There really was no room for interpretation.

A statement such as after the grief sex makes it out as if it happened right after, when in reality it was a whole six months after more fighting and what not. So six months down the road, Sami found herself in some trouble and EJ with no romantic intentions helped her out for her sake and that of her children. They are on the road to more now, but they are not there yet so there is still time for any trash out to happen.

It has nothing to do with EJ and Will being in their own little world and those most certainly were not my words......what I said and I reiterate is that EJ and Will's relationship is not going to be dictated by Sami and what she wants. They are defining it themselves as it should be and Sami just has to deal. EJ and Sami's friendship is not defined by him doing things to please her only, like it used to be in the past and I love it!
How is Ej intending to kill (choke) Nicole different than Sami shooting him in the head? Sami is excused because she has "sexual tension" with EJ. Nicole is a "bitch, slut, whore" for telling EJ some truths he did not want to hear. I don't care for either pairing (gimmee EJope and Jacole :D ) but IMO Nicole isn't getting a fair assessment. Sami holds Marlena responsible for the way she acts because of her childhood, then Nicole should get a free pass too because of her father. BOTH women are fucked up.
The issue that was being discussed had NOTHING to do with which is worse, pitting Sami vs Nicole, so I am not really seeing where the claim of an unfair assessment of Nicole is even coming from.

but since you brought it up, yeah they are both fucked up..........lol........no denying that and I personally hate when they try to show them as anything but; crying, weeping, helpless victims they most certainly are not!
Sry. I guess I misread what the post was. Won't happen again.

I think these pics may be indicative of what is on our screens this summer since much of what we are now seeing was filmed in April when, I believe, those pics were taken. I agree that not too much emphasis should be placed on them for the future, however. IMO everything and every couple is up for grabs at this point. The only things we know for sure is that TomSell are now HWs and that NBC hired them. Where it goes from there is anyone's guess.

I don't see how that could be:

The site that had the ones with JS in the jeans, the 50 Shades (tie pulling) and AS alone was the photgraphers's personal site; the title of the album was portraits which features ALL of his work including Michelle Obama and Michal Phelps (who last I checked have NOTHING to do with an NBC show). We therefore cannot look at work he did over a period of time and lump them all together, especially given the order his album was set up with Eva Longoria (no NBC ties as well) following AS' pic.

I didn't say I was right as it was just a thought and to be honest I didn't pay attention to the site where I first saw it posted. My point was just that your guess is as good as mine about what the photos mean or don't mean. I think we can all agree there are just what ifs and unknowns at this point. That will become clear when the new writers start with their new material.

we will see, but I do not think we have to wait for the new writers materials all the way in Sept/Oct to know. They should have been able to tweak along the way and that will give us some indication of where we are going.

The cliffhanger I believe is when their material starts so end of July which is just a few weeks away and I do hope its really a good cliffhanger. :)

I hope so too; can't wait to see JS' favorite scenes and the new setting they have that needed a separate sound stage.

I can probably wait for it......doesn't sound very interesting. JS saying he loves something is probably the greatest reason I have to suspect those scenes will be barely tolerable at best (maybe not; I just have a hunch). This coming week doesn't sounds all that great, the week after sounds not so great, I don't expect the week right before the Olympics to be anything I find too exciting.....I am pretty much giving up on the show until mid-August. Hopefully some game-changers will happen in between now and then that I can feel a little more assured what direction the show is taking. B/c what I am seeing now - other than John making a movie for DE - is nothing particularly fresh, new or original. I don't want to support any airtime to this supposed, needs-to-be-pointed out to me "sexual tension" between Ejami; I am more interested by the prospect of watching paint dry, watching tumbleweeds slowly roll over a sandy desolate road, or listening to all of Ulysses be narrated to me in the most monotone, undynamic voice possible, than to have to sit through a dramatization of this "will they/won't they" bullshit. I say GOOD RIDDANCE to that absolutely obscenely uninteresting, dry-as-a-saltine waste of air time/ my time. I have no interest to see Lucas wind up in limbo as his ex-wife/good friend/current "romantic" person or whatever and son swear their allegiances to EJ of all people (or some form of "siding"/"defending"), so that I see another iteration of Lucas bad buy and EJ victim. Enough. It's really enough. I can't stomach this. I don't care who ppl think is in the right or is in the wrong or has more reason than someone else or who is justified and who is being jealous or unreasonable, etc. The storylines that are starting to form right now reek of everything I have ever loathed about this show, and I won't support it. I won't see my favorite characters and s/lines be trashed in service of characters and s/lines that are totally and utterly anathema to me. That does not sound like good entertainment.

So the Olympic break cannot come quickly enough. I hope to see at least some of these moving parts in place before then so I can stop wasting time wondering or hoping things will change. Just let whatever is supposed to happen happen already. Then we will see how long it lasts or if these developments aren't themselves pit-stops along the way to some other, grander design for the show.

Yeah...I guess it all happens in cycles. Except for that I have found the show barely tolerable pretty consistently since 2008. If only this latest round were just boring or uninteresting; but it's actually insulting and a lot heartbreaking. And I guess I am not the first fan to feel that way, nor do I have a monopoly on those strong feelings. But there it is. So no thanks, DOOL. Losing at least this viewer for the present time.

I am hoping that JS's favorite scenes ever which are with AS around the time of the Olympic Cliffhanger is off EJAMI trashing it out.

The fight before grief sex was soooooo good; I can only imagine with them being the way they are now, it will be even better!
urrrgghh,.. how am I going to survive three weeks (or is it two weeks) of no DAYS.

No EJ and No Sami and No William, etc. :-/

It's a 2 week break and I will also be experiencing EJ, Sami, & Will withdrawals!

Maybe self medication will help us get through it LOL! :drunk:

JS and AZ were not on the same page as to how to play those scenes. JS decided not to go for the full choke, but then AZ sat around in the latter scenes rubbing her neck as if EJ had really hurt Nicole.
And its not like the character would overplay the dangerousness of EJ if she thought it would get her more traction with whoever she was trying to coerce into helping her......

Anyone remember the picture of Lindsey H and JS that was all over for a while, engendering discussions and a fan base for Ejanna? I don't see the big deal over pictures. They take millions and show thousands.

SOOO glad I am NOT being anywhere near involved or invested in the Sami suck of hell storylines of triangles or quadrangles.


I hate Sami and I dislike AS and the way she's promoting herself (I've "muted her since 2008"...lol, it's still painful enough to watch her without tone!)

I just wish she'd take at least a 6 month Days sabbatical! What a joy it would be to have EJ and Lucas interact with Salem's population minus Sami!!!

Daniel is not blind, SC reaction was in line with it too.....in fact there is an interview with him from around that time where he talked about saving Nicole's life and they have been quite consistent to this day. Would Daniel have reason to exaggerate back then?

Of course she would, but we know she didn't in this case, because as people mentioned earlier, JS flat out told us he hijacked the scene and did his own thing because he didn't like what was written.

Good on him ... I like his interpretation... Can we cut down EJ's storylines and give JS a part time writing role instead.
