Decent Monday show. Sami running straight to EJ after father 1, 2 and 3 left was classic Sami.
No keeping Samantha Gene away from EJ DiMera!

Daniel and Nicole started backwards, but now I gotta say I like them and find myself enjoying their scenes. I'm glad they decided to try them out.

TFP :)

i actually enjoyed the show too. i specially liked the ejami interactions. i like the fact that sami ran back to ej as soon as lucas left lol. i also like that she seems to believe ej in spite of all the evidence against him. that is faith. me likey. i could not help notice that sami did not say i love you back to lucas and she dodge the question when lucas asked if ej matters to her as much as he does. she took the fifth on that one. i wonder why... :tounge: :wink:

Well, I'll stand out on the limb by myself: I thought today's episode was decent.

The Chad/Bo/Hope/etc. trying to get into the locked room was interesting, knowing that Gabi was about to be discovered. By and large, I've hated the storyline, but it's holding my interest now.

I liked Dan and Nicole's scenes today. I would probably like them more if I didn't already know that they're getting ripped apart in the near future, but their reverse relationship has been novel, and my girl Nicole is always good, and SC plays well off her. Sue me; they interest me.

Loved the EJ scenes. We can all bitch and moan how we're been there, done that, but we haven't been here or done this: Sami is finally treating EJ like an equal, I'm finding their new dynamic very compelling. I liked them before, but I'm really falling in love with them now. :wub:

Hated all the police scenes, but only because of the three Smugskateers. I'm starting to wonder if they're not intentilly being written as nincompoops and the people we're supposed to be rooting against. Interesting scene though, at the end, when we saw Lucas' satisfied smile when he heard the test results on the gloves.

you are not alone. i thought that was a pretty good episode.

Seriously.... is it humanly possible to make Nicole's dress any shorter.

All I can say is this Ej/Sami/Lucas is an EPIC fail. I really can't believe MarDar honestly thought viewers wanted to see 2007/2008 all over again. :shame:

If we're going to relive a year, I pick 1976. IMO, 1976 would be a very good year to see again. Doug & Julie had their big wedding that year.

Way too much smugness on my screen today. I'm soooo hoping that once EJ is proven innocent that EJ wipes the floor with the inept/corrupt Salem PD & co. I hope he gets reinstated as mayor (if he even loses his position) and he fires their incompetent butts!!! They are all going to feel sooo bad (at least I hope so) if it turns out that Lexie was the one that did it and EJ and Abe were covering for her. Caroline better get crackin' on those humble pies! She's gonna need a lot of them.

BTW, does Agent Spencer have a first name?
Omg, I would love it if Lexie killed him and Abe and EJ were covering! That would explain who he was talking to on the phone.
This has been my suspicion for awhile. Every conversation EJ has about the night of the murder makes me believe it even more.

However, I am sort of conflicted because I feel some doubts that Days would posthumously sully Lexie's name, so then I sort of wondered if maybe EJ and Abe feel sure Lexie did it and are covering for her, but they don't really realize Stefano's death was a big hoax and she didn't really do it.

Who knows. It would be so great, though, if not only did EJ NOT do it, but was willing to take the fall for someone else.

Message Days' Wardrobe: Even though Ari Zucker can rock even the sluttiest ensembles, it doesn't mean we need to prove the point every episode, especially when she's pregnant and desking someone who is not the father of her baby every other episode.

Dear God. What a shitty episode all the way around. Seriously -- this is like one of the Top 5 worst episodes of the last six months. I can't find a SINGLE thing to recommend about it (and trust me, I actually looked). It was so bad I had to force myself to pay attention in quite a few spots.

I couldn't tell you a single thing that went on between Ian & Kate today. They made my eyes glaze over. The only thing I know is that Kate has added yet ANOTHER color (some shade of blonde) to her hair to make it look even more calico than before (calico with a large hint of blue mange). That and Ian had a flashback to framing EJ. Although I still have no idea why he would frame EJ because they've only shared MAYBE a handful of scenes together since he's been on the show. SO. MUCH. WTFery.

The Melanie drama had me slamming my head on the desk (and wanting to do the same with Chad's). They say that the best acting is RE-acting and CB's Gabi was... um... yeah. I got nothing. As much scenery as Casey Deidrick was chewing, Chad could've just gnawed his way through the door into the locked room. And what the fuck was up with all that damn bouncing around the basement he was doing? Did the idiot eat jumping beans for lunch? And why was Nicole there? Just to hold Daniel's hand? (well, it probably wasn't his hand she wanted to hold, but I digress). I did like Bo saying that they only could enter because of probable cause that Melanie was in danger (due to the bracelette), but since she wasn't there, they needed a search warrent to look at the rest of the house. And Gabi faking being abducted to explain why she was there was actually rather smart on her part. I'm eager to hear the story she comes up with for the sell.

As far as the rest of the WTFery Crew -- I. DON'T. GIVE. A. FUCK. about this story. They could dig up Reggie the dog's corpse and fix him up with Sami for all I care. I don't give a rat's ass about her or her fucked up love life. I do not care whether she's with EJ, Lucas, Rafe, Brandon, Austin, or ANYONE else. I do not care WHO is fighting over her (truth be told, they should be fighting each other to get the fuck away from her -- "No, YOU take her! I've already put in my time!") I have a hard time mustering up any sort of sympathy for EJ when he gets all frowny faced like a large mouth bass. He begins to resemble the Incredible Mr. Limpet *after* he falls into the water (google, children, google). And I haven't seen such hideously awful "acting" from everyone involved in a long time.

As far as I'm concerned, if this show is going to continue to revolve around EJ/Sami/Lucas-Rafe then I say just go ahead and cancel the stupid son of a bitch now because I have no interest in watch the sand run through Sami's vagina.

I've been watching the 4 primary British soaps (plus Australia's Home & Away) current and same-day for the last couple of weeks (thank you internet!) and I'm already more "into" and emotionally invested in all 5 of those shows than I've even come close to being in DAYS in YEARS.
OMG! I love this post and I so agree. It was horrible- the scenes stunk and the acting was worse. Good gawd, let this nightmare end already.

Kate mentioned Madison taking Brady "to rehab". Did this happen offscreen? Last I saw Brady, he was telling her how he had NOT done the cocaine he bought and was doing fine. Did I miss him agreeing to "go to rehab"?

Isn't Brady in the cliffhanger next week? His possible wedding to Madison?

What did I miss? (I blame it on FF-ing ALL of Melanie;s scenes causing me to accidentally skip over Brady!)

I know right must we have to see this again from 2007 and 2008? I knew that this is when they were bringing Lucas back just knew it. I think that he deserves so much better than getting thrown in this damn triangle with Ejami again. :shame: :drunk: :puke:

I bet if Lucas had someone else and she felt some competion then she would want him because he would be off limits to her.

Chad had a major flip the fuck out moment today, I can understand why. His life sucks and he needed to vent, Gabi needs to die.
Ian/Kate makes me scream. I can't get into them. it seems way too forced. and I don't like Ian
Ejami, I'm not a fan but I sort of like them.
Dicole- no comment.

I wish she would get back with EJ ... if only so that he could buy the poor girl some pants or a nice knee length skirt.

Maybe Nicole can pass the whore dress she wore on today's show to beast since she's the only one fuckin one guy and trying to kiss another. Oops...I forgot, Beast's portrayer wears a size 2. :rolleyes: :bs:

I think Nicole's dress should be shorter and tighter ya know make her look like an over stuffed sausage just like spami I mean sami and then maybe she could have a harem of men too. Its so sad that with this whole show Nicole's short dress is the only topic that peaked my interest. Then again with Ari's hot long legs I'm not that surprised after all.

About the Nicole dress in todays epi: I say if you got it flaunt it. And AZ sure got it! Now a certain other character should definetely stay away from tight dresses, particularly the color red. Not flattering!

Oh ya back to the epi: Not worth watching. I'll skip!

Couldn't agree more. I absolutely hated the scenes in EJ's apartment - painful. The supposed "good guys" were pathetic - and looked like they couldn't muster a professional-looking police search if they tried - and EJ looked more bored than scared. I haven't loved the writing as of late but today I'm giving the entire "thumbs down" to the actors. I don't care if the show stinks, if the wardrobe is itchy, if your friend got axed - I expect some good scenes. I would imagine there are plenty of actors available for these roles given the state of soaps. Perform or go.

I think that BD is trying his best with Lucas. I have a soft spot for the guy. But honestly, I'm getting a brother/sister/friend vibe from him and Sami. I adore their relationship but the sudden realization that they're giving it another shot seems so forced. Seeing him beside GG was funny. I wish Rafe would just disappear. But who would be the greatest sleuth in all of Salem history (of course it was Rafe who found the gloves - gag!)? What I loved about EJ/Sami/Lucas is so evident when I see what a dud Rafe is.

Thought that maybe EJ/Sami could bring me back. Goodness. Don't know if I can stand the embarrassment I feel watching bad dialogue being acted out by cardboard actors.

It makes sense that MarDar would do 2007-2008 again. They are just setting up for the encore of 2009-2011 that TomSell is certain to write.

This is SO much better than 2007/2008, imo. As much as I enjoyed 2007/2008, there were times when EJ was too dark even for me, and Sami was too mean to EJ.

Between the lie detector test where the cops were clearly harassing the suspect throughout its entirety and yesterday's utter lack of professionalism, I'd be on Team EJ regardless. EJ could have been a new character portrayed by a day player who didn't speak English and was dressed in sackcloth. Whoever the director of yesterday's episode was, he/she appears to have been sleeping on the job. :shame:
