Who gives a shit?? As if leads actually make the show better. Give me a good layered story for a supporting character any day of the week over the shit we've seen their supposed leads do since 2010. The fixation of Lucas not being a lead baffles me especially because I considered some of Sami's best stories when she wasn't a lead. Everything since 2007 on for Sami has sucked storyline wise, same for EJ, same for Rafe. So what is Days getting out of their leads? Nothing!! Edited by LuvingLumi, Jul 20 2012, 10:29 AM.

I do't know how she does it, when he told her be quiet he is trying to concentrate and what he really was doing was nuzzling her neck, the touches o her arm and the looks. SWOON! |

The Lucas/Will stuff should have so much power and history. Instead there's barely any connection. And if Chandler Massey ever had any ability as a dramatic actor, it's long gone.

I'm beginning to wonder how he got an emmy. He's very good with a very limited type of material. This stuff in the past few months has not played to his strengths as an actor and he's just not effective. I'm not even a Bryan Datillo fan but I think he acts rings around Chandler. |

I think he worked best at the stuff which was supposed to be so boring (background material). Emmy wins are more about hype or the tape than talent. I thought he was bad in the meltdown scenes, the confrontation scenes with Sami, etc. and he's just gotten worse and worse. If he weren't EJ's puppet he would have absolutely no role on the show. |

Some of the things he has said about Camilla being a good actress made me think he was just being nice at first, but now I think he is just clueless and his best acting was with Deidre and Freddie, but he's been around James Scott too much and he's really bad. He comes across as just Whiney and rude in scenes that should show a range and be more subtle. |

I'm not a Deidre Hall lover but there is something to be gained from working with someone who is a true vet. I also think she's far more natural on screen than she's been in years and that helped the emotional scenes they had together and prevented him from going OTT. The campiness and hysterics common with actors like Scott and Sweeney just don't work for him. Datillo has a far less campy acting style which is why their scenes IMO should come across better but I think the actors just lack the natural chemistry Hall had with Massey. He's very unlikable in the scenes with Lucas. Edited by reagon, Jul 20 2012, 01:28 PM.

I agree. Rafe is being written as not totally believing that the case against EJ is as cut and dry as Roman and Lucas would want people to believe it is. If he's supposed to (god I hate saying this) be the new Bo as it were, it makes sense that he doesn't come across as a complete blow hard who ignores evidence in favour of getting revenge on any perceived enemies. Roman has admitted that he himself is not objective at all when it comes to EJ so I suppose his atrocious behaviour shouldn't surprise me in the least. Lucas OTOH, is being written as a judgmental, underhanded weasel who thinks EJ being locked up is going to solve all of his problems, apparently not caring about the effect that would have on EJ's children with Sami, his own child Will, or Sami herself. I myself don't mind this change in Lucas, I think he works a lot better as the irksome schemer. He was really boring when he and Sami were having a go at domestic bliss 5 or 6 years ago. |

I thought the Will/Lucas scenes were very well done by both actors. Will"s reactions were completely understandable, from his point of view, and the same can be said about Lucas. Neither of them was totally right or wrong, and I think the scenes reflected that. I believed Will's hurt and I believed Lucas's worry. |

Chandler rocked his scenes today like he always does! Bryan was good, but he usually just scowls all the time. Chandler needs to stop being so awesome b/c I do not want him to leave Days--that would suck! And Will was in the right to be angry with Lucas for what he did. Go Will! :cheer: So glad Will and Sami are siding with EJ :) EJAMI are 2 peas in a pod, but EJAMILL are 3 peas in a pod :laugh: Love all 3 as gray characters! |

Just like the two halves of that gold coin Stefano has. I wish they wouldn't just drop the ball on some of these plot points! :soapbox: |

Another excellent episode. I just can't get enough of Ejami! I love that Sami was reliving "their conversation" while EJ, I'm pretty sure was taking a cold shower! So Lucas knew the letter was Will's leverage and still went to the police. What a douchebag. I was waiting for Will to throw him a Lucas-style sucker punch. I'm really sick of Gabi and her sociopathic lack of remorse. Bad things need to happen to her. Can I say again how transfixed I am with Ejami?! I am trying to skip the DAs until after I've watched but it's.so.hard! Edited by Kali, Jul 20 2012, 08:58 PM.

Seems like the same old Lucas that I knew and didn't miss to me. |

I don't see this ending well for Gabi, when it comes out she knew about everything, she's going to have either the police after her or Daniel's going to have to surgically remove Chad's hands from around her neck. Either way, she's screwed. GO TO THE CONVENT, GABI, AND DON'T EVER LOOK BACK. :flipoff: |
