The EJ/Will storyline has been a total waste of time, IMO. WIll's story began with a lot of promise, but it has taken a nosedive because MarDar wanted to create their version of some Freudian pseudo-fake-father-son-type relationship with these two. Ridiculous. I have one question for stupo MarDar? What happened with Will's coming out story and close relationship with Doc? :sheep: All of the Will/Marlena scenes are practically non-existent now, and many fans appreciated them. But, of course, those bozos known as MarDar had to jump on their fast train and ruin another good story for something totally off the wall and senseless. Sorry, Chandler Massey. Maybe this farced Ejill plot will die soon. Hopefully, Tomlin & Whitesell will get to the REAL story that we want to see for you. And that's not being EJ's lefty.
He is a twenty year old boy... if Dr EJ/Phil was here he would tell you how their brains aren't fully developed yet and they don't have the necessary wiring to predict consequences. There can't be too many twenty year olds who choose time with grandma over time with a younger male power figure (regardless of how up to date grandma is with Lady Ga Ga songs).Its a natural part in male evolution for the young male to reject their father and look to other males to provide the mentor figure. that may be true but at one point Will did say that his grandma was his best friend :wub:
I'm with LD on this one I'm really disappointed that they dropped the ball on Willena's relationship I always looked forward to and enjoyed their scenes together, there was enormous potential there but as usual MarDar blew it... I'm so glad they're gone they've made this show almost unbearable to watch

So he is acting in Will's best interests, from my perspective.
Taking away the information Will had on EJ and running to the cops with it, while Lucas knows EJ still has his information on Will in his pocket doesn't sound like best interests of Will. It's best interests of Lucas. Lucas knew Will had the information he should have went to Will with it to discuss what he was doing with it first before running all over town with it and showing everyone he ran into. While Lucas is at it why doesn't he just tell the cops that Will shot EJ. Case closed, EJ can't hold anything over Will and Will would probably grateful to Lucas right? It can be in Lucas's best interests and still be in Will's.
Here's where I'm stuck: why is the necessary conclusion from EJ's disclosure that Will shot him that Will winds up in meaningful, long-term trouble?
I can understand why Will would believe that (sort of). He's new to this sort of thing, and he's probably looking for an excuse to be EJ's bitch, imho.
But why would Lucas be concerned with whatever EJ has in his pocket about a crime Will committed as a minor?
Will is a Horton/Brady who has family in law enforcement (both Salem PD and ISA), one grandmother is a respected psychiatrist (for a good defense), his aunt is a lawyer (for a cheap defense), his other grandmother is a hardcore schemer/meddler with money and international connections, and his mother is a brilliant manipulator when she needs to be.
That's not even getting into EJ's credibility and inability to control key documentation (like, say, this letter).
I wish I could buy into this...I get why Will would be upset with Lucas over this- he's kind of naive- but as a viewer...I just can't get over that when I think about it there are like a million simple ways to cut down EJ, so I don't see it as bad that Lucas blasts this info all over town.

I'm so glad they're gone they've made this show almost unbearable to watch Yeah I am not sure any 20 year old male should say that their grandma is their best friend.. it doesn't scream healthy relationships with others to me.
I'm all for Will and Marlena to have a close relationship/more scenes particularly if it involves a few more Marlena/EJ mock polite offs.

Of course Will wants to save EJ. Without EJ, he's jobless, homeless, car-less...OH and powerless.
Well he'll be powerless because dumbass Lucas is taking away his leverage.

Lucas is clearly a dumbass in this situation. If Lucas found the letter and thinks Will was holding onto it, he should have went to Will first and try to understand what is going on as to why he would have something like that. If he thought that it didn't belong to Will and was just a windfall, he should have went to Will and try to help him get leverage on EJ. Most importantly, he should have went to EJ himself to dish his own version of blackmail. By doing that, he would be casting two birds with one stone: Lucas has something over EJ's head and he (knowingly or unknowingly) severs Ejill's relationship by making EJ think Will sold him out. Instead, Lucas went running to John and Marlena AND the cops, just because he is so damn gung ho to get EJ in prison. He goes behind both Sami and Will's backs and basically lets EJ off his leash in terms of silence of his son's murder attempt.
Like I said, Dumb.Ass.

While Lucas is at it why doesn't he just tell the cops that Will shot EJ. Case closed, EJ can't hold anything over Will and Will would probably grateful to Lucas right?
Say he goes to Will, Will wants to keep the counter-blackmail evidence. And then...he still works for EJ, which Lucas thinks is bad for Will, right? I just think Lucas is acting in Will's best interest as Lucas sees it. Maybe that's where we diverge on this point. I don't really care what Will wants to do, I don't think Lucas should care what Will wants to do in this scenario. And as I said upthread, I don't consider EJ's blackmail of Will all that serious, in the sense that it'd be easy for Lucas and/or Sami (if she gave a shit) to effectively counter it. So I guess I'm not really factoring that in as this big thing that Lucas has to be fearful of.
They can't have it both ways, EJ can't be this evil blackmailer that's blackmailing poor innocent Will that Lucas needs to save Will from and also try to say that EJ wouldn't go to the cops and out Will. I don't think EJ has any intentions of going to the cops on what Will did. However, Lucas seems to think that EJ's this evil blackmailer of his son. So when your son has information on EJ to counter that blackmail and make them equal wouldn't you hold onto that for the sake of your sons freedom? Freedom and working for EJ (which Will chooses to do on his own, blackmail not required) or Jail. Isn't that Lucas's options as a father he should be seeing for his son? Lucas's response is to go to the cops and give up this information and leave Will with nothing to fight evil blackmailing EJ with? Since EJ's so evil the blackmailer according to Lucas, how does Lucas not think that EJ wouldn't go to the cops and spill on Will? The whole thing is contrived to make Lucas look bad and he walks right into it by not being on his sons side first and instead Lucas is just on his own side of just wanting EJ in jail and not caring about the consequences to Will, not caring if EJ's innocent. He just wants EJ gone so he can have what he deems he owns. I agree with this. In Monday's 7/16 episode EJ makes a subtle threat to Lucas in front of Roman, Rafe, and Agent Spencer regarding Will and the shooting, but he was too consumed with his hatred of EJ to catch on to what EJ was implying. On the other hand, it was clear that Sami caught on. It really made Lucas look stupid and out of his league. As I mentioned on another site, to me, the very recent writing for Lucas harkens back to the way in which he was written during the previous EJamicus triangle...

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Say he goes to Will, Will wants to keep the counter-blackmail evidence. And then...he still works for EJ, which Lucas thinks is bad for Will, right? I just think Lucas is acting in Will's best interest as Lucas sees it. Maybe that's where we diverge on this point.

On the other hand, it was clear that Sami caught on. It really made Lucas look stupid and out of his league. As I mentioned on another site, to me, the very recent writing for Lucas harkens back to the way in which he was written during the previous EJamicus triangle... Lucas not backing down when someone threatens his son is not a bad thing. The fact that Sami acts like she doesn't care is horrible. If Sami sees EJ is threatening Will and she is still trying to help him then shame on PodSami or as I call her Samanther.
Its stupid that EJ is just supposed to say a word and all are supposed to cower before him. By now anyone would want to know what EJ has on Will that would make the police reopen the case, a judge overturn a conviction no one is asking to be overturned when people with real evidence have trouble getting that to happen.
What is worse no one is trying to find that evidence. Not Will. Not Sami. Not Lucas. That should be the story.
But then that would have a family working together instead of ripping one apart to pimp EJ and Ejami in the most rediculous and inconceivable kind of way.
I can't believe they are really using Will like this. Under some guise that Lucas wasn't there for his children.
Are we supposed to act like Lucas is an absent father cause he was in HK for 2 years when he was with Will his entire life? He was just a call away and kept in constant contact but we're supposed to ignore that.
If that's being an absentee father then military men aren't fathers at all. And Sami should hate Roman who was gone for hell of a lot longer than two years.
This show is unbelievable. Using Will like this. Hell, using Sami like this! All to hold up EJ, this shitastic character who is killing the show.

What I don't understand ( in addition to everything else on this show lately), is why Lucas would be so eager to reveal this info about Ej. What is the one thing that Sami always hated about Ej and loves to hold against him? The fact that he is a Dimera. I am surprised that Lucas didn't think about this. Now that Ej is no longer a Dimera ( ??), what is stopping her from making a go with him? Also, if Stefano isn't Ej's real dad you would think that John would start to wonder if he really was John Jr. After all these years. I can't remember if there was ever DNA testing done on Ej back when this story was airing. You would think that John would be the slightest bit curious. Considering how deceptive Kristen and the Dimeras were.

He's also going to be the one to end up paying for his stupidity.

Will would work for EJ no matter what, blackmail or not, evidence of not. So that doesn't even matter. EJ's not even threatening Will, Will's the one who turned the tables to be EJ's 2nd in command and wants to learn everything to be him. The whole thing between them is back and forth just to keep them working together.
Lucas refuses to accept and understand that Will is where he is because Will wants to be where he is.

He can't figure out that without that letter to hang over EJ's head, Will has nothing protecting him from EJ revealing that Will shot him, ESPECIALLY after EJ finds out about this seeming betrayal on Will's part?? Seriously, even if Lucas doesn't know that the letter is what Will has on EJ (which he should be able to figure out), why doesn't Lucas go to EJ and blackmail EJ with it? Because he's a DUMBASS who is out of his league.

I haven't been a Lucas fan for a very long time, but I think I could dig a story like that where Lucas takes it directly to EJ and turns the tables. Why can't Lucas figure out what to do with it on his own and then take those steps? His own son did. The actions here remind me of a student getting some dirt on another student and running to tell the teacher and the principal. Then standing (well protected) behind said teacher and principal while they reprimand the other student, all the while the student is smugly grinning, sticking out his tongue and saying "na-na, na-na, boo, boo". Seriously. His own son found the letter and used it on his own to get what he wanted, but Lucas can't figure it out? It's not something new though for the character, IMO. He's been written this way for years. Sad.

Yep he is such a dumb ass for wanting to protect his family from the one who has tormented the shit out of them. Yep, how dumb ass of him. Yes, he's dumb because he could have protected his family by blackmailing EJ himself or help Will get some leverage on EJ if he didn't think Will was holding onto the letter. There is more than one way (and in this instance better ways) to protect your family and even though Lucas is reformed, he can still scheme with the best of them. I just talked about this in my previous post.

yep Lucas is the dumb ass but he was smart enough to grab that letter and give it to the police. Yep he is such a dumb ass for wanting to protect his family from the one who has tormented the shit out of them. Yep, how dumb ass of him.
Its not smart, it's very stupid and selfish. He's also going to be the one to end up paying for his stupidity. - Quote:

Lucas not backing down when someone threatens his son is not a bad thing. The fact that Sami acts like she doesn't care is horrible. If Sami sees EJ is threatening Will and she is still trying to help him then shame on PodSami or as I call her Samanther.
Its stupid that EJ is just supposed to say a word and all are supposed to cower before him. By now anyone would want to know what EJ has on Will that would make the police reopen the case, a judge overturn a conviction no one is asking to be overturned when people with real evidence have trouble getting that to happen.
What is worse no one is trying to find that evidence. Not Will. Not Sami. Not Lucas. That should be the story.
Will would work for EJ no matter what, blackmail or not, evidence of not. So that doesn't even matter. EJ's not even threatening Will, Will's the one who turned the tables to be EJ's 2nd in command and wants to learn everything to be him. The whole thing between them is back and forth just to keep them working together. Lucas refuses to accept and understand that Will is where he is because Will wants to be where he is. And what I am saying is all that is pure shit. To make Will idolize Ej and Sami put her complete trust in Him while he is blackmailing her kid is pure shit.
I know some like this storyline because it makes EJ the sun and the moon but it's just pimping of the worse kind.
Will should not used in this way. He's not even his own character. He's a tool. And this is simply a disservice to the character, the viewers and ultimately the show.
As for Lucas and this letter who gives a fuck?! I don't care about the letter or EJ's innocence. This show leave nothing for viewers like me.

I don't understand how we are supposed to know who the character of Will is yet. I mean the adult version. He's still figuring it all out. His sexuality is one part of it, of course. Aside from that though, how are we supposed to know if Will is going to be a "good" boy or a "bad" boy? To me, this is a storyline to start exploring that. Right now, he is drawn to the power of it all and all the fancy perks that come with it.
Why should he automatically align with his family, specifically his parents in this? Did Sami align with her's? He is her son. Did Lucas always align with his early on, especially his mother? Was it pimping Tony Dimera/Tandre when Lucas went to work for him when he was younger? Was it pimping Tony when Sami actually went on a date with Tony? Or utilized them to facilitate her revenge plots, like Stan? I never viewed it that way when I saw it all play out.
I don't understand why Will being the son of Lucas and Sami shouldn't be going through this. Why should he be any different from his parents in that regard? If people are on EJ overload, I get that, and that is a separate issue from the premise of this storyline making sense. I think it does.

And this is simply a disservice to the character, the viewers and ultimately the show. As for Lucas and this letter who gives a fuck?! I don't care about the letter or EJ's innocence. This show leave nothing for viewers like me. Will "idolizes" EJ at least partly because he wants the kind of power EJ has. He wants to have the ability to be in control of the situation and others. Considering how he probably felt throughout his life that he can't control anything, not even when he can admit to the public that he's gay (and judging by the way he talked about it on Monday, is still awkward about it), it makes a lot of sense.
Sami does not have her "complete trust" in him either. Sami and EJ argued for about 3 episodes about this; EJ was going out of his way to convince her he's innocent when Sami kept bringing up how the evidence makes him guilty, including the things he's done in the past. Even on the DA for Monday, Sami is having a hard time believing his guilt, now that the cops found gloves in his apt. I think she wants to believe him but it's pretty tough to do so with what she knows now.
We'll have to disagree about Will's use because I'm really enjoying him these days. He's on a power trip and I'm interested to see where this goes.
That letter seems pretty damn important since -It's what Will is holding over EJ's head -It's another piece of evidence that makes EJ look guilty -Lucas taking that letter to the cops basically screws over Will and EJ and moves the s/l along -It helps John get control of DE once Lucas lets him know about it
And I'm sure there are other reasons that I have forgotten. You may not care about it but it's been a focal point in this current and I like how it's being used now even though I hate how this all started.
I'm sorry you feel that the show leaves nothing for you.
