Quoting limited to 4 levels deepLucas just is awful. He's running around calling for justice bitching and shouting at Will and I guess tomorrow Sami gets it. Rafe's going to save the day with his not adding up doubts and Lucas is just sinking further.


that what happen when lucas character thrown under the bus to pimp ej and ej and sami pairing

To me, it looks like GT has just dropped Lucas right back into the role he was in before he fired him. It's not that he's used to pimp, it's that he's a supporting character. Lucas at least is mixing it up this week and getting into the storyline, and some better cast interaction. He's better off this way. He may keep his job, and I am a fan, so that makes me happy.
Exactly. I do like Lucas (these past few weeks excepted), but he is a supporting character, IMO, and not a lead.
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!!

Ack, EJ getting right up in Sami's business is so freaking hawt!! He kills me how he always has to be touching her, it's so reminiscent of their physicality in 2007, except there's a much deeper emotional bond between them now. How Ali can concentrate on speaking, let alone reciting dialogue, when James turns on the mojo is beyond me. I would die. Well I would have my way with him first, and then I would die.
Seriously! I barely remembered to breathe while watching.

That man is so, so divine.

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.

I just don't know what happen to the actor.

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.

I agree with all of this.

Sounds to me like we are heading for SuperRafe being the one to figure out who really killed Stephano & help exonerate EJ .
while Lucas comes across as a vindictive guy that just wants to get back at EJ .
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!

Lucas yells at Sami.

Of course, he does.

What would we do without more Shouty McYellerson.

Are we sure Lucas isn't Victor's biological son, cause young Shouty McYellerson sure sounds a lot like Old Yelly McYellerson.

Anywho, good show again!

TFP!

ETA: And EJ/Stefano blood types don't match. Do they have their blood types on file? I realize this is a question that cannot and will not be answered.
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!

you had no right to go thru my things
lucas says i found the letter by accident
the next time you have something so confidential dont let it fall out of your backpack


If they're going to rewrite something at least follow it up with fixing it in the remaining scripts! It's so sloppy.

Police station - Part 3: In Roman's office ... Roman - I don't know what's taking that hospital so long. Rafe - Agent Spencer, are you beginning to lean towards EJ now? Spencer - All the evidence is beginning to add up. The failed polygraph, the glove, the bullets ... it's hard not to. Rafe - Yeah I hear you but my gut's telling me something's not right. The phone rings. Roman - You've got the results ... okay ... thank you. Rafe - Don't keep us in suspense here. Roman - Stefano and EJ's blood types are not compatible.


Stupid after all the time EJ's been hospitalized, shot or Stefano has been in the hospital. They're telling me that neither of them figured out this "blood" impossible match before? I wonder if Ian swapped the files or did something to make this more guilty looking on EJ?

Lucas just is awful. He's running around calling for justice bitching and shouting at Will and I guess tomorrow Sami gets it. Rafe's going to save the day with his not adding up doubts and Lucas is just sinking further.

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:
