What would you have wanted them to include?
It's not about including something else. They should have just found a better way for her to help him. Her idea is stupid. That's go be expected when there are rewrites, but it's still stupid. As written, she's doing more to prove his guilt than anything but thee giver wrote this is stupid that they don't even realize that.

If Sami and EJ getting back together is enough to cause Will to end his weird crush/fascination/obsession with EJ, then I'm all for the two of them getting back together. I do not understand why Sami would want to be with a man who is holding that blackmail sword over her son's head since the well-being of their children should be the most important priority for any parent. Then again, Sami has never been a good parent so this is hardly a surprise. Still, if a Sami-EJ coupling breaks the EJ-Will bond, then I say bring it on now.
QFT, Sami needs to wake up to what this man has done to her family. That won't happen though until we are past Mar Dars writing.

I'm not sure what thee giver is and I can't think of any clever response, but I did want to acknowledge it.

ETA: I quoted before you responded. Perhaps your phone would like you to take up olde English.

I would have preferred they go a different route too - when they talked about the camera spoilers, I thought they were going to find a time stamped video of EJ out and about while Stefano was getting shot. Anyway though, I do think finding evidence that someone retrieved the gloves would help more than hurt.

If the video shows who picks them up from the dumpster, it could show doubt and give the cops (if they care to even catch the real shooter) a new focus. If it shows EJ throwing them out and ____ picking them up, how does it end up tapped in a ziplock bag in his apartment behind a photo (which is stupid for the cops to now wonder about, not to mention the door to the apartment was open when they got there).

We had her so far telling Rafe that she loves him, then she cheats on him, now she is having sexual relationship with Lucas and he is telling her he loves her and while she is loving that he does, behind his back she is lusting after EJ again. At least Rafe has the good sense to stay away from her but, poor Lucas.


This is not coming across as poor Lucas. He's stealing from Will, he's shouting and telling Sami she belongs to him, he's trying to put an innocent person in jail just to keep him from Sami, he's running to John behind her back yet giving her & Will orders as to who she can see and who she should hate.

He knew very well she had unresolved EJ issues. He told her so. He jumped into a rebound relationship with her after seconds after Rafe broke up and because of her EJ issues.

She's gotten all Shakespearean on us. Apparently her trip abroad had a profound effect. :ermm:

The glove and camera thing bugs the crap out of me and has from the time it was spoiled. I agree that it makes EJ look guilty of something - why throw away gloves that turn out to have gun powder residue on them? We know he wanted to avoid giving them any circumstantial evidence - but it clearly makes him look guilty. Of course, the fact that Abe saw him at the DiMansion that night shooting the sconces could also come in to play - but we haven't exactly seen Abe jumping up to tell the cops what he saw, despite the fact that everyone knows Abe was there and left his gun.

Then finding the gloves taped behind a painting in his apartment? How the hell does that NOT look like a set up to anyone with eyes? Why would the killer not only keep the gloves but bother to hide them behind a painting? Why not in a box? Or drawer? Or gee...just get rid of them? It's so stupid.

It would have made much more sense for Sami to notice security cameras hanging in the hallway to the apartment building and suggesting to EJ they check the tapes to see if anyone can be seen breaking into his apartment. Problem solved. :rolleyes:

But at the end of the day - as stupid as this is written, it's just par for the course. As someone else said it's no more unbelievable than watching Daniel, Maggie and Nicole pouring through potential evidence in Melanie's kidnapping at the police station. Or the poster prominently displaying the suspects in Stefano's murder for all to see. Or everyone and their brother finding out and believing EJ is not a blood DiMera based on a letter written by Alice years ago. Writing believable, sensible beats in stories has been lacking from this show for a very long time - both before and during MarDar's tenure.

stealing from Will, thats rich, Will stole it from Ej who is using it to hold over Ej's head. Nuff said. I say go Lucas go! I love him teaming up with John to protect his family from the Dimera's. Do whatever it takes to bring him down! Team Lucas and John!

I've been enjoying the Will/EJ relationship, BUT I do agree with you. I think it is getting about time that Will moves on. We all know that nothing is going to happen there and I'm ready to see Will have a REAL relationship. I was hoping they didn't rush into the WilSon thing because I wanted a slow build. But I'm starting to get tired of waiting. I want a slow-build...but we don't seem to be getting much of anything. Hopefully that is going to turn around very soon. As much as I love Will/EJ together and I really do want to see that continue...I'm hoping that Will gets over his obsession and moves on to something real.

Exactly.

And again...I realize it's par for the course, but so is me complaining about it.
