This is the first time in a very long time that I have been so excited for Monday. I am loving Days lately! I actually am interested in all the stories but most of all Ejami! They are awesome together.

OMG - Sami NEVER answered Lucas' question! That says it all! She can't choose!!!!
He left before she even got a chance to answer though, he told her to make a choice and let him
Know later, then he left. I wish they hadn't made Sami into this extremely fickle person because even if she chooses one man the minute the one she didn't chose moved in with another female she will quickly start to want that other man. It's such a shame.

I'm in utter shock at how good the Ejami scenes are getting. Their dyanmic is so 2007 that I can hardly stand it. I don't even care if EJ is playing her because if this is how he is going to play, then I want tickets to all their games.
Sign me up for a season pass.

She had enough chance to answer if she wanted to. He asked her at the very beginning of their conversation and all she could talk about was who was doing EJ wrong. Lucas pretty much got his answer!

I wonder if Sami will explain to Will why she's suddenly all hot for the guy who's blackmailing him and targeted their family for years.
I can't wait until Sami learns that Will had been blackmailing EJ! I hope she beams with pride.

It's like this show is intentionally breaking my heart. Going out of its way to shatter it.

I am not a hater b/c I am not watching the show - I am not even sure what that means, really. In any event I don't think I am missing much. It's not just that Ejami is happening, it's that it's happening like THIS, and I don't think I need to elaborate on what I mean by that. This is why I am not watching live epis (although I'll watch the cliffhanger) . I am not going to watch my fave characters just disintegrate like this for Ejami's sake. That is how I see it, that's my opinion, and I am sticking to it. If this is Ejami's time, that is fine - but what am I missing? Seriously? If it's something I don't want to see, I am perfectly entitled not to see it.

I am not even hating on anyone at the moment (publicly, anyway) - I've just checked out. I've made my displeasure clear enough, I don't need to elaborate. But each episode is like another dagger straight through my heart. I am not the first nor the last fan to feel this way, but I feel this way now. Maybe it's a problem that I ever got so shippy to begin with, that this show could possibly ever "hurt" me. But it can, and it is, and I won't support it. I haven't even been posting really - I just made the mistake of reading the write-up, watching a few scenes, and I wanted to vent. Don't think I'll be doing even that until some time after the break. Way, way after the break.

Lucas is right Sami - just make a choice, even if it's just for the immediate (this is a soap, after all) and spare me this. Just spare me. I am sorta glad he walked out - I am pretty much doing the viewer's equivalent.

And I'll tell you - I've never, ever liked Kate, not really - liked to hate her, sometimes, but I've mostly just hated her. Hated her saying a single negative thing against Sami. Hated her ever being in Lucas's ear. But this show/epi actually has me liking her now, and even wanting her to unleash a world of hurt on Sami, if I can be so honest as to admit that awful, bitter feeling. And I never, ever thought I'd feel this way in a million years. Sorry if that was a bit hatey.

This show.....

There was a time when I hated Sami. Then a time when I loved her. Then a time when she was my favorite character. And for the better part of the last 6 years, I've hated her again. Never before did I want her to die. She's just not even Sami anymore. There's no depth to her. There's no heart in her. There's no non-reasoning-reasoning in her. She's just vapid and pointless. At this point, there is nothing left of Sami Gene Brady to root for. It makes me sad. It's actually worse than watching my other favorites leave the show over the years. I couldn't agree with you more, elci525 ... every word.

He didn't ask her to chose till the end of the convo...then he left... The other question was what was she doing there and why and she answered it, even brought up death row and the framing to justify why she felt she needed to help EJ clear his name.

its not a matter of Sami making her choice that is positive here, it is that one was so much out of the race and yet he seems to have a real fighting chance. Plenty to be happy about IMO!

Life is awesome

EJ's line to Sami regarding Lucas "If in fact you do love him" is interesting in that the Sami from several years ago would have immediately snarled back at EJ that of course she loves Lucas, and yet nothing from her this time? Come to think of it, has Lucas even gotten an I love you from Sami since he's been back? I admittedly don't watch many lumi scenes so it's quite possible I've missed it. In any event, even if she has said it to him, she's been a lot less vocal about her fondness for him versus how verbal he's been about his fondness for her.

She doesn't have to. Will gets it, he sees what's attractive about EJ.

EJ is the Sun in Sami's orbit, and for EJ it will always be Sami, Sami, Sami. Everyone gets it but Lucas.
Didn't Nicole have almost that exact same line when the grief sex reveal occurred? EJ has had his moments where he's tried like hell to forget what Sami meant to him, and he's had bizarre storylines involving sniffing a scarf that have made it appear as though he'd succeeded in that regard. At the end of the day though, Sami has been the one constant in EJ's life since the character came back to the show in 2006. She's it for him, that one person in his life that he can't seem to shake himself free of. The more that other characters like Kate bring it up, the more ridiculous it makes Lucas look for ignoring what's right in front of his eyes. All he has to do is ignore the words that are coming out of her mouth and actually pay attention to what her actions are saying.

Lucas has not ignored it. He knows its there and that's why he is telling her to make up her damn mind. And thank god he finally told her that!! phew :cheer:

My problem with that though is that Lucas already knows the answer, he's just waiting for Sami to actually verbalize it which seems strange to me. As an EJami fan I much prefer the current storyline route of Sami needing to make up her mind, but if I were a Lucas fan I'd prefer that he make up her mind for her and bow out with some pride intact. The onus is then on Sami to fight for and prove that she wants to be with him. In any event, I think once the cliffhanger stuff plays out it will be impossible for Lucas to continue ignoring what his gut is telling him. I think it will be good for his character to move on from Sami and find something else to occupy his screen time.

Kate is so the truthteller in this epi. Kate "EJ is the sun in her orbit, that's the way it is and that's how it's always going to be"

Kate -" You think that's what's pulling her back to him, the children? Because I don't think that's the reason that Rafe dumped her; because she was having tete a tete's talking about the children with EJ. "

Kate - "Don't snap at me because you don't trust her with justification. You did what you did tonight to get him out of your life. Maybe he'll go away to prison for a long time and maybe that will be enough to sever Sami's relationship with him but knowing those two, it may not be enough."

Lucas knows this he just doesn't want to accept it.

This must be what GT was talking about when he referred to Wilson as The Hardy Boys. They might as well be brothers, right?

Sonny, darling, did you not notice how hot Brian was the other week? I gurantee you he won't make you dig through the trash or sit around trying to save the ass of his hot, straight boss. I want to ship Wilson, too, but at this point you can do way better.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepfor EJ it will always be Sami, Sami, Sami. Everyone gets it but Lucas.

I'm a Lucas fan and I can tell you I would just like him to tell her what he told her back in March when he got back that he wasn't going to play the game again with her, that he was going to leave with some dignity and his pride and bow out. The shift in Lucas' writing has been sudden and I just hope there is a reason for it because I don't like what they are doing. I obviously don't want him to go back to HK, but he can do the same thing and tell her that he just can't be with her now because he doesn't want to play this game with her, then they can have him in a holding pattern for a few months until they bring someone else for him. If she can't decide then fine but he won't be around trying to commit to a relationship this way because it's bound to fail. I suspect that he won't get the chance to tell her that because by Friday she's already falling to her supposed death and I suspect that she'll be in a coma for weeks, then when she wakes up she will not remember squat.....I got a really funny feeling that there is a reason for the death row framing reference on Monday's show....that is the worse possible time that Lumi went through, and I also got a funny feeling that there was a reason for the bracelet giving a few weeks back too.....so yeah, I suspect she'll wake up and not remember falling in love with Lucas, she thinks he's still her enemy and she will fire him I'm sure.....likely fight him for custody of Allie and since Will is pissed at Lucas he will play along to screw Lucas over.

Agree with your post LL - unsurprisingly ;) . I'd like Lucas to tell her the same thing, which he pretty much did on Monday's episode (one of the few moments I sort of liked). I am an unabashed Lumi fan, and I can only hold onto the hope that Lucas also expressed, that in the end Sami will love him too, etc. But I am now a greater Lucas fan, so let's just please spare me whatever THIS is and put Lumi into a holding pattern as you say. The last thing I want is for Lucas to go back to HK, but I want him to get the heck outta this mess. As for Sami and possible coma, I've thought that too - I said in another post that I can see that happening, and EJ and Lucas vying to convince or try to help Sami remember whom she loves, etc. That might be a nice way for Lumi to have a sort of fresh start, but that s/line sounds more frustrating and predictable than anything else. But if she, as you suggests, wakes up thinking they are still enemies, that could be interesting. That I might actually look forward too - then we would see more of those snarky fights, etc. If only...

As for Will going along with that, I could totally see that happening. I am starting to lose all fondness for that kid....

Plus the idea of Sami being comatose for awhile is pretty darn appealing.
