I think EJ saw Lexie shoot Stefano & is protecting her reputation by keeping it concealed, that would explain the gloves and bullets.

I also like how it was mentioned that they were in the backyard and then when they came back into the house, they came IN from where the back yard would be. I appreciate little directoral things like that.
That set is one of the older sets in use, and it just shows how the sets have deteriorated. Now they have one, MAYBE two entrances/exits. That house set has the front door, two doors to the kitchen, a back hallway and the stairs. J&M's penthouse had the balcony, the kitchen, the door and the stairs. Sami's apartment has... a door? You get the idea. Just another way things have become cheaper. Sigh.

James Reynolds is an amazing actor (and from what I tell a really, fantastic guy in real life), and I'm glad his talent is finally being shown. Matt, I can't wait for J&M now! Because I know you're not hardcore, like me, so it makes me more excited to see it. Someone upload, quick!
here's J&Ms scenes from today :)

Matt critiqued the show perfectly. Nothing really to add. I do like the new director, Steven Williford.

"Relax nobody's having sex.... at least not yet"

I just came in here to say that Nicole is a DUMB BITCH. After EJ pleaded to Nicole about having a second chance at a family I would have told him he was the baby's daddy and mine. ;)

Not to put a damper on the Lexie DVD scenes, but wasn't it just a couple of months ago, that Lexie was ready to dump Abe, end their marriage, over the Election fiasco? I still can't fathom how MARDAR expected fans to accept such a 360 turn around with this couple. I say RJ's departure from DAYs must have been a sudden request, because the SL just flow right. I'd really like to know when RJ submitted her resignation. MARDAR were dumb, but NBC & Sony???? No words!
I'm pretty sure she submitted it the day before Lexie took Abe back.

That's a good hypothesis. I like it for many reasons.

I can't believe I'm crying watching this. I just read Matt's post and though I'm not through the episode yet, agree so far! Jim Reynolds, Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn are OUTSTANDING. They're coming across as old friends exactly in this situation; thankfully nothing has happened to Renee, but that's the emotion that's coming through, that something really happened to make them this distraught. What a powerful performance.
Couldn't agree more with Matt and with you Ellie. If Days starts writing shows like todays and tomorrows (I've already watched) I would gladly start watching on a regular basis again. I can't say enough about the writing of the scenes and the acting of Deidre, Drake and James...these are the kind of scenes actors don't need to 'play' or 'create' they just are. These are the kind of scenes I have been waiting for them to have. And I totally agree with Matt, that it could have gone cheesy but it was anything but. Not getting my hopes up...but I want more of this!

Such an excellent post, Matt.
I read it, then watched the show and saw everything you said.
I was sucked back into Lexie's drama and JR was so awesome...I almost teared up. Jarlena had some great dialogue too.
And just when I feel I am done with EJole, scenes like today make me excited for them. Loved everything about their exchange...I almost fell over when EJ said he forgave Nicole...such good scenes and performances.

I think the show may be nearing being irredeemable for me. I thought it was all eh.

A big part of the problem is how little focus Abe and Lexie have gotten as a couple over the years. I just couldn't care less that Abe doesn't have someone to tie his tie since I can't even remember if I've ever seen her do it. I don't give a rip about Lexie's stupid garden that didn't show up until she was on her death bed. And I don't have a problem with Abe and Kayla, but are they REALLY chem testing them IN THE MIDDLE OF LEXIE'S MEMORIAL?

I liked the first J&M garden scene when they were talking about her death. That was well done. The next one was the weird one where she's panicking about him being missing. Stupid.

I hate EJ's kitchen. It's ugly. I hate Sami's kitchen, too.

I liked the way JS played the Ejole scenes. I didn't care for the way AZ played them. That's kind of strange.

Glad to hear them mention Marlena shooting Stefano and putting him in a coma.

You know...I don't particularly care for EJ anymore, and I'd like to see him get a real comeuppance. But it's been coming since 2006, and I don't want to see Rafe, who's only been around for 2/3s of it, be the one to succeed. Rafe is no one.

Eric Martsolf has obviously been watching some Chandler and James work. But not the good stuff.

EJ is obviously not responsible for killing Steffy, he looks guilty, and TPTB are just using it to steer fans in the wrong direction for the next little while. I can totally see him covering for LEXIE, if he saw her do it or thinks she did it. TPTB keep harping on how much he loved her and how supportive she's been to him, no matter what he's done. Definitely the most plausible scenario. If Steffy is really not dead, it will be hilarious, because he looked quite dead sitting in his chair, having been shot. Will be interesting to see TPTB get out of this one!

Oh. I also meant to say...when John gave Marlena that rose and said it reminded him of her. I had a hard time not reaching through the TV and slapping him. Anyone know why?

I was watching the show very distracted today. Is there any couple together that is married or should I say married that is together?

because her favorite flowers are lilacs :)

and we know from the other day that Lexie had them planted in her garden, so it's not like John didn't have access to any :shame:

Why is EJ attracted to scheming and lying women?
Probably because...he's a schemer and a liar. ;)

Loved all the Abe/Lexie stuff, but, WHO has a funeral at night??? :blink: And secondly am I the only one who thinks they are headed toward a Abe Kayla pairing... I am getting the strangest vibe from those two lmao.

And that John and Marlena actions and dialogue today totally seemed like foreshadowing to me... I think something is going to happen!!!
