Ugh. BD has GOT to do a better job of playing against this writing. He took a giant swan dive directly into the writing traps in this episode. When he first came back, I recognized the effort he was making to play Lucas differently. That all went to hell in a handbasket and I couldn't stand to listen or look at him. Normally I like the EJucas banter, but there was no banter. It was all one-sided screeching.
IIRC GT's was not fond of Lucas, so while BD shouted too much I wouldn't be surprised if they want him to play Lucas that way. The way he was when Lucas first returned under MD was great. I was initially excited and happy for his return, the past few weeks that went out the window.

EJ was so pathetic in this episode. Ordering Rafe, Spencer, and Roman out of his apartment when they had a warrant. Loved Rafe's response.
And why should'nt he order them? Most of them think they above the law. I wish Ej would have just shot them both, just put the bores out their misery.

It could have been the direction he was given, sure, and therefore he had no choice. If that is the case, I think that's even worse for BD's situation on the show.

I agree. It was positively obnoxious. I cringed every time he spoke.

Lucas' hair is to die for.
Haha LL - yes, boy's got some very fine hair =) best part of the epi
I agree!

I've always loved his hair; In the past I've hated the decision to grow it too long but now it's the perfect length. And I think the melon shirt kind of looked good with that hair. Though the shirt was awful it didn't look bad, color wise. Though I do tend to agree with those who say they could be dressing Bryan a bit better.

I wish EJ would shoot Eyebrows.

The majority of viewers wouldn't miss him and then the SPD would have a reason to arrest him.

And shooting Rafe would wipe that shit-eating smirk off his ugly face.

Intruders in your place first thing you would do is tell them to get out. The pathetic was cops who are so stupid they don't know someone else was in the apartment with them. That the door being open wasn't strange and that EJ keeps killer gloves in a ziploc bag taped to a painting in his apartment.

Rafe and the cops are idiots x1000 in this.
They weren't intruders. They had a legal right to be there, which they informed EJ of before he stupidly told them to get out. I bet they were so intimated, lol. I guess we'll have to agree to disagree on who the pathetic and idiotic party was.
They seem great at upholding legalities (obtaining and testing bullets illegally obtained by Nicole would have EJ's case thrown out anyways even if he was guilty, Rafe and Roman are bias as well.) and doing their job with the framer in the apartment with them while
they are idiots who don't notice.
And Roman was over videotaping agent Spencer half the time while Rafe had free range around the apartment.

What was pathetic was Rafe pretending that the judge hadn't given them the search warrant. Got ya guys we really did get it.
What was that ... fun and jokes SPD style.

Oy, I just remembered why I stay out of the daily threads.....I hope someone kills Sami/she becomes a nun so we can end this war over her.


Oh, and Brandon was the best of the bunch, though I want him for myself, no chance I'd give him to Sami.

If Lucas wasn't on I wouldn't watch and yes Sami, Lucas also has a right to say who does and does not see Allie, he's her father! Ej can go to hell for all I care unless he gets back with Nicole, remember your pregnant wife Ej? The one who is having your child? Thats the one you need to be concentrating on, not the witch's glittery who ha!


nicole is out of the equation since she is busy fucking daniel and fantasizing about rafe not to mention doing everything she can to to give rafe ej's baby.

lucas may have a say about allie but so does sami. lucas certainly does not have a say in who sami should see or not see. furthermore, lucas has no freaking right to kick ej out of HIS OWN PLACE. ej should have kicked him out on his ass.

i have a lot of repect for ej for the way he handled lucas. i thought he handled the whole thing with class and self control.


I thought EJ's reactions were kind of juvenile.He was smirking/gloating and I half expected him to stick out his tongue and say to Lucas "See Sami likes me best.".
Ej owns the building but the apartment was given/rented/leased to Sami so it is not EJ's place.Sami told EJ earlier to get out of "her"place.
If Ej and Sami get together,I hope Nicole does give Rafe EJ's baby.It would serve him right to have Nicole and Rafe raising his baby.I actually like Nicole with Rafe if she is not going to be with EJ.I like Rafe as the hero.Make Nicole the heroine.I would like to see Nicole and Rafe against Ej and Sami,if they are not going to have Nicole with EJ.I saw love and a natural tenderness between EJ and Nicole that I have seen with other couples on the show but have never seen between Sami and Ej.I am not saying they could not write it but up to this point and I make it a point to watch every show(the good,the bad,and the ugly).I just savor what I find to be the good(ejole) and endure the bad (ejami) and the ugly (nicole /dan).

Sami will never say those three little words not to EJ or any one dumb enough to listen. EJ is just too beneath her but sexy enough to roll around with, just not worth an actual grown up mature relationship. It's been SEVEN BLOODY LONG YEARS!!!

Let it go already!
It's only been six.
I still agree with letting it go even if it has only been SIX BLOODY LONG YEARS !!!

I am bracing myself for what a union of these two will look like.

At least if they are in either of the apartments she won't be able to constantly flounce up the stairs.

What a shame they spoiled the planting of the gloves... it would have been far more interesting if there was a possibility that Lucas was involved .....

In fact any of the other suspects doing it would have been far more interesting.

I never cared for Brandon either, but I like the idea of Sami going away.

I would just love for her and Ej to get together just once in an actual story. While it's almost offensive to use Aremid in the same breath, I'd like Sami to back Ej here and free him, somewhat like Marlena believed in John and freed him (I know this is a huge stretch and nothing like the love between J&M at the time), but it could be the start of her realizing she does love him despite him being a Dimera.

Then they get together happily for a few boring months, and she has a very sad tragic death. I'd love to see Ej playing that. Then moving on. So all guys would finally be free of Sami. Then if Rafe could go shortly thereafter, life would be good! We might could have a balanced soap again with lots of good characters getting story instead of the 'whose with Sami Today' show.

Agreed. The writers continually make the SPD look incompetent, unprofessional, and lame. I miss actually liking the Salem PD. I wish we would only see Bope of the Salem PD. Don't even wanna think about how bad it will be after Bo leaves...

what if it becomes the "who's with EJ show" or more precisely, "The EJ Show"? They can go the star-crossed lovers route and they both take poison together! LOL :whee:

Yes, I think I would be more interested in a story where Caroline has decided to frame EJ than what is playing out now.

This sounds like storylines where AS and JS play characters name EJ and Sami but are not EJ and Sami. That's what we're seeing now.

Ej, the put upon hero and Sami his trusting, faithful partner. When has this ever been them or even fit them? It's like some horrid fanfic.

No one wants to see a bunch of rewritten characters. And no one want to see the bad guys triumph over the good guys yet again.

So much this!! I used to love the daily threads, but now... :shame: WhatTF is going on? :shrug:



Actually got to watch Friday's show and it was awful.
Lucas has every right to order the man who is blackmailing his son and raped his wife to stay away from his family. It's freaky how much interest EJ has in Will...a father should be concerned.
As tired as I am of the 2008 dialogue between EJ/Lucas/Sami, can't blame Lucas here. Sami has lost her brains if she thinks EJ is innocent. Major dumb down here, but whatever. I don't give a shit about Sami so she can be the idiot.

And Melanie/Gabi/Andrew storyline is worthless. I don't give a shit about Melanie or anything that happens to her.

It is painfully obvious as to why the writers were fired. The show sucks!
