NBC's influence will still be there and if MarDar and the actors themselves are saying that NBC is running the writing room then Tom&Co won't make much of a difference. There are ways to change what they have to work with and still fix things. Tom&Co's first task was Carrie and Austin's exit and they could have very easily wrote Carrie and Austin's exit as Austin being the one to need to move for his job in Switzerland and Carrie choosing to put aside Rafe to go move with her husband. Instead they still made the exit be all about Carrie and Rafe and Carrie needing to run from her Rafe love. They or NBC chose to still go there with that ending I can't blame it's what they had to work with on that writing. |

hmmmm so Roman resigned from the case because that would be a conflict of interest but its OK for him to be there when doing a search of a suspects house. No wonder SPD's cases don't stick. |

Again NBC or whoever is in charge none of us know unless we have insider info, didn't like what MarDar were doing. One of their plots was CAFE so even with editing it makes sense to me that they would wrap up the atrocity that is CAFE that way because Carrie since first eyeing Rafe was star struck more than he ever was and if NBC really wanted CAFE they would have kept CC. So it is only a wait and see at this point. Current SLs may mean nothing or certain aspects may be kept? All we really do know for sure is that NBC wanted TomSell as head writers and what they do SL wise instructed or not is anyones guess but we will find out soon enough. :) Edited by Helpless Romantic, Jul 13 2012, 03:16 PM.

We do know because the writers and actors themselves have said so. MarDar said outright themselves they had no control because of the network. MA said the same thing. I'm not going to call any of them liars, I believe it. MA has no reason to lie, they fired him, he's going to risk a slander suit?
They did want to keep CC, however with PR going and ED, GV coming the budget could have been an issue and instead they could just saw Hope freed up and pair her with NuBo which seems to be Rafe's job. They were going to keep CC though, something else changed that. |

Do you really think they would pair up Hope and Rafe? First he kills EJAMI for me,, now he is going to kill Elope before they even have a chance. |

After PR's statement, I actually do think they would go there. It's so easy too. Rafe's already taken Bo's place on the SPD as Roman's sidekick. Make Hope his partner and there you have it. Isn't that how Bo and Billie started? Abe and Lexie too. |

I didn't say NBC weren't in charge and I didn't call anyone a liar. As for CC she said herself that her being brought back was a rumour and that Meng said she is not needed "at this time" . She later tweeted about cleaning out her dressing room. So whether the plan was or was not to bring her back they decided against it. But you or I can't say for certain what NBC wanted or didn't until its either on our screens or isn't. Anyways I am just so happy this CAFE mess is ending and I really don't care how because it was a bunch of contrived BS from the beginning. Anyways this is OT from the thread so I will just end it here. Edited by Helpless Romantic, Jul 13 2012, 03:36 PM.

I think it's probably still MarDar, but honestly, I can see TomSell writing Lucas like this. GT doesn't seem to have much respect for the character. It annoys me that they are writing Lucas like an insecure caveman. There is no reason they can't move toward Ejami and give Lucas good writing and a decent story at the same time. |

Some of the dialogue in this episode encourages the speculation Lucas is indulging in here. I know the hallmarks of E.J. & Sami's romance have been tempestuousness and passion, but I am enjoying this little show of solidarity to E.J. on Sami's part. In a DAYS episode several years past, Sami is talking with Nick and he suggests her personal philosophy is "The end justifies the means". So it was interesting to me that she doesn't try to "bend the truth" here when Lucas is pressing her about her feelings towards E.J. I am hoping her support of E.J. through this leads to a strong bond between the two of them. With regards to Melanie's storyline on Monday, I doubt I'll be interested without Andrew making any appearances. I'll be interested to see Kate's reaction to E.J.'s arrest. I always enjoyed their rapport in the past. I hope they are also able to forge a bond through this also. And, as usual, DAYS has the problem with making some of the scenarios believable with regard to the police situation. It shouldn't be necessary, but perhaps they should hire some consultants to review these scripts to point out silly errors. Heck, they could even just ask Ali's husband - isn't he a police officer? I'll watch the episode - probably will fast forward the "Looking for Melanie" business, though. |

What are ppl talking about? Lucas has been the same since 2006 when Ej first came in. Trying to protect his family from the dimeras/EJ. Maybe im the only one who thinks this but its whatever. |

Lucas is a swami today, his predictions will hopefully come true:) Sami is tripping over herself to go see EJ to avoid a slurp from Lucas:) EJ is hot and should wear less clothes to help him explain his innocence to Sami...in fact nakid would probably make it so much more obvious of his lack of guilt:) |

Lucas is just :facepalm: once again. I just can't with him. Rafe said very little, yet his smug face said so much. What I wouldn't give to see him get punched in the face. SPD are idiots if they actually thought Sami was going to stay in her room. I love that Sami went over to see EJ and that he confided in her. They seem very close right now. It's nice to see.
