Thanks for NOT answering me...LMAO
I'm not sure I'm following the conversation correctly since you quoted yourself, but Michelle did answer your question. Sami does not have a degee. She did not go to college.

I'm not sure about high school. I know she went to her high school prom with Lucas, but I don't remember her graduation.
She didn't graduate. She recently told Will it was because of him. It wasn't.

I think the last 61 pages have shown that they haven't had much success with that with anyone.
I disagree. I think some significant portions of the audience find EJ, Nicole, and (at some points in the past) Sami to be sympathetic, despite their evil deeds. Otherwise we wouldn't be continually having debates about them. No one defends Gabi, that I've seen. No one talks about understanding why she's doing what she's doing. She should have no future on this show. Andrew is much more sympathetic than Gabi is. I'd rather he remain on the show than her.
I'm not disagreeing that people find those characters sympathetic. But I do think it's mostly different people for each character with some overlap. When it comes to Gabi, the problem IMO isn't that she did horrible things and is unsympathetic. The problem is that online, very few people seem to give a rip about her, lol. That was before she did this. I personally don't even care that she did. I don't care about what she did to Chad or Melanie either. It was just a poor decision to have such an irrelevant character play such an important part in this story. She's incredibly expendable, but my guess is she's going to be treated like she matter when we come back from the break.
Yeah I think that the issue with Gabi is that she was already an unlikeable character. Her actions are redeemable especially compared to actions done by other characters, but since Gabi isn't very well liked, it is going to take more to get her redeemed. Gabi hired a fake stalker and it got out of control. She didn't plan Melanie's kidnapping, but she should've reported "Andrew" as soon as she found out what he did.

I'm not a big fan of Gabi, but I do think she is redeemable. Or Days may keep her as character you love to hate. I hope there is a decent fallout for her actions though and it's not just brushed over. As of now I'm not feeling a Chad/Gabi romance especially after what Gabi has done. Plus there's not much chemistry between them (Chad has the best chemistry with Will - go CHILL :wub: ).

I wouldn't be surprised if Days tries to do a Nick Fallon/Gabi pairing, which has potential, maybe? Melanie leaves in September so we'll see who Chad or Nick will be with after that.

Alot of people don't find Rafe particularly interesting either but its not our call apparently. We have too many men in the same age group , none of whom with the exception of EJ excite passion in woman. I know its subjective at best but i really miss JKJ as Philip . He and EJ were both not only great looking but had an edge that I found irresistable. Bringing in GV should help alot in that department as he is new and hasn't bedded every available female in salem like Dr Dan has. They have got to make Brady more interesting or get rid of him. They try and make us think he is sexy by having him walk around half naked al the time but he doesn't float my boat as he is overexposed and seems to only have scenes in the bedroom or having sex in the boardroom,. He is not fleshed out enough. i don't know how you bring in new women though when all have been busts so far Taylor , Madison. The only one I liked was Arianna but not with Brady..he sucked the life out of her. I liked her with EJ as his friend confidente. For the most part the casting director does not share my taste in men as Jay Leno JR is soooooooo no tattractive, Lucas is not someone I would lust after, and Chad who has potential is sporting the EJ hair disaster from the past so he is a fail in the looks department too.

Lol Sami posts bail with what money? Did she empty her piggy bank? :huh?:

i am sure it will be explained next week. i personally think she still has power of attorney over ej's estate. so she has access to his money and is able to use ej's money to bail ej out. wouldn't it a slap in the face for nicole if sami still have control over ej's estate after everything that happens and even when he was married to nicole?

Sami is honestly surprised to again learn that EJ is keeping something from her? He lies all the time, it's what he does. lol. Just because he's sniffing around her again doesn't mean he's any different from their last go around. If she wants constant lies and deception, EJ is the guy for her. He'll never change, they'll go for their uptenth humpfest and then she'll be crying the blues to either Lucus or Rafe, acting like the victim for pure stupidity on her part. I'm so tired of the same old thing with Sami. It makes her look cheap and dumb for not being able to stick with one guy.
Fantastic post and ITA!! Lying and deception is Ej's m.o. with Sami - always has been. She is just continually written as being too dumb to realize it.

sami and ej are the same type of liars. one is no better than the other. ej did not lie to sami to hurt her. he omitted some information from her probably because the trust between them is still fragile and that information could potentially hurt him on the wrong hands.
anyway, ejami will work it out like they always do. i disagree that sami is dumb. i think she understand ej because she is the same way. as will say. two peas in a pod. i am rooting for sami. i have never loved her more i do right. GOOOO SAMI!!!

She's been head of a cosmetics company for awhile now and she's been living rent free in EJ's building.

I think she's probably rolling in it.

Excuse me for asking...I haven't watched Days constantly during the last 10-15 years...did Sami Brady ever even get a high school diploma?? What kind of education did she get? Which university did she go to??

This is why hate tptb most...being unreal about job situations these days, making people, teens, believe that Sami Brady could get a job like that...even if given by Stefano, she'd never be able to execute it in real life!

Sorry to interrupt the Ejami/Lumi/Safe debate...NOT...LOL!


Sami does not need to have a degree to run CW. If kate could run titan, CW and gwad knows what else why not sami? the only education that kate has had was on the street corner when she was a hooker. nicole was a porn star and she ran titan. i know they gave her a degree during the quinn storyline but it was a rewrite. so if they want to they could sami a PHD. it is a soap. they change stuff all the time. lucas is an idiot and he was an executive at titan.

LOL, even in RL, we have people running multimillion dollar corporations and they don't even have a high school diploma or degree. Sir Richard Branson, Dean Kamen are just a few examples.

Do we have any reason to believe Kate never had an education? The hooker stuff happened well into her adulthood. She came to Salem to work at Titan. Nicole went to college and that was mentioned long before Quinn came along.

we don't have a reason to think she had an education either do we? she is smart and ambitious and slept her way up the ladder.

when was it mention that nicole went to college before Quinn? i do not remember that.

Kate wasn't sleeping with anyone to get the initial job at Titan.

Nicole's ex-husband was her college professor. I believe when she first came to Salem it was referenced that she'd graduated and had a degree.

We know Sami hasn't been to school because not only did we see her on the show at the time, it's been referenced several times over the last few years. Kate and Nicole weren't on the show when they would have been in college. They absolutely could change it, but it wasn't that long ago that Sami referenced never finishing high school. WHich we already knew, because she was onscreen at the time.

EJ and Nicole have always been the replacement for EJ and Sami, IMO. When Nicole came back on the canvas she went for EJ to steal him from Sami. It became an obsession with her. Nicole's always been written as EJ's second choice in the romantic department, and she always knew it. He even chose Taylor over her - her own sister! At first, I really thought that they intended to portray her as someone with a mental illness, especially when her obsession continued with the baby switching storyline, which IMO was all about stealing Sami's child from her so that she wouldn't have EJ. It's been a long time, but I seem to remember that her biggest fear when she lost the first baby was that EJ would dump her because the only reason he was with her was because she was pregnant. At the end of that storyline, I thought for sure she was going to end up at the looney bin. Now I have no idea what they're going to do with Nicole.
Replacements are usually aquired when the original no longer works properly or is outdated.


well we know sami was not replaced because she was outdated or not working properly. she was replaced because she dumped ej. he was devastated and nicole was there throwing herself shameless at him. so he settled for her to keep his bed warm and try to fill the void that sami left.

if sami had been willing and available, nicole would have never had a chance with ej. she knows that.

Frankly my boss runs a multimillion dollar corporation and he doesn't have a college degree either. I know alot of college graduates who couldn't run the drive thru at Burger king. Sami is smart and with the right financing behind her could make a go of this company. Money is the key and she has Stefano's and EJ's backing. Education means different things and if you are a go getter your education never stops .

let's just agree to disagree about nicole because i do not remember that. it is no big deal. i just used it as an example.

kate did not sleep to get the job at titan and i never said she did. but it did not take her long to get her claws on victor for obvious reasons. do you remember that after victor fired kate, she wanted to look for basic black and during the interview, she made a pass at john? she flashed her leg which made john very uncomfortable? that is a clue what kind of woman she is.

i was not trying to attack kate. she is what she is and she is good at it.

I don't disagree that Kate's a slut who is capable of sleeping her way up a corporate ladder. But I've never been given any reason to believe she doesn't have an education. Compare that to Sami who we've been told doesn't have an education. Sami's drive has never really been work or success related, so I personally find it hard to believe she'd be able to hold down or be successful at a job like what she currently has.

Well not many people on the show are truly believable in the roles they have. Madison as a CEO was laughable. I've been a CEO and if I ever dressed or acted like Madison my stock holders would be looking for a replacement. As I tell my husband all the time , in order to enjoy the show at all you have to put your brains in the freezer or you will be screaming at the set. It's fantasy where anything and anyone can be or screw anyone else.

It seems like Sami already made a choice..Ej, she bailed him out of jail and steps in front of him being shot.

Lucas you lose,shortie.
Actually losing Sami is the equivalent of winning in my book. ;)
Of course cause you are not a fan of Sami :P
Neither are you right?? Lol
No never was a fan of her, I put up with her with Ej but as an individual? Nope. ;) I find her tolerable with Ej, cause I love their chemistry and potential.

But as far as rooting for her? No never done that.

The people you mentioned started their own businesses and built their own empires. Sami didn't do that. She was hired in places that normally require high qualifications and she had none.
