Well if you don't like the wriitng for Lucas , imagine how EJ lovers felt with the way he was portrayed the past few years. The Ej I fell in love with had one woman on his mind .Samantha and yet they took a smart cunning man and made him stupid enough to be hoodwinked into marriage with Nicole. He slept with her for months while she wore a rubber belly. That was painful to watch as EJ Dimera is nothing if he isn't perceptiveand smart. He then remarries the town Ho and does alot of things that made no sense . Now he is acting like the man I fell in love with, the guy I thought was gone for good and I could not be happier. I have never liked Lucas since he first came on the scene as a mean spirited guy tellng Sami she would never get Austin because she was too fat. It was his way to manipulate her thru her insecurities. The Lucas I see on ,my screen now is consistent with the one I knew from the past . So the tide has turned and the people who have enjoyed the show for the past few years will now have to FF half their show so the rest of us can have some enjoyment. Only fair for everyone to get something to like and I plan to enjoy every minute for as long as it lasts. I was patient and it appears to be paying off.

I won't miss it. I pay enough attention to spoilers, feedback, and various clips that I'll know if and when the show returns to a course that I find entertaining. Not my first rodeo, lol.
You didn't answer the second part of my question.
Oh, sorry. I guess I stopped reading.

I do have the option to watch. I have watched. I've watched a few random episodes over the last few weeks after reading a lot of good reviews of them, and I haven't enjoyed any of them. I'm just not particularly interested in any of the current main characters. The show is going to be cancelled soon regardless of whether or not I'm watching. There's no point in me watching right now anyway. I'm not a Nielsen viewer. Me tuning in isn't going to save the show. Me tuning out isn't going to end it. I'm not finding the show entertaining or even particularly snarkable at the moment, so why bother? And quite frankly, if the show isn't going to entertain me, not I don't particularly care if I have the option to watch or not.
But it did give us so much to look forward to when you were doing your PBPs - particularly when your niece chimed in.

No pressure, though. :laugh:

I have no problem with people watching the show intermittently depending on how interesting or enjoyable they find it. Personally it's part of my daily routine and has been for the past several years - so even when I thought it was at it's absolute worst I watched all of it each day. And to be honest, I tended to listen as I was getting ready for work more than actually watching. So now I'm finding myself in a quandary I really never expected to be in again - now that I'm seriously enjoying the EJami scenes and much of the rest of the show it's taking me twice as long to get ready for work because I have to stop and actually look at the television. :laugh:

I don't think the Lucas fans have been enjoying the show for the last few years, at least not for Lucas. You know...since he hasn't even been onscreen. ;) The show really needs to figure out a way to appeal to a broader group instead of making each group happy on different days.

I am not saying it's not fair or it's not the way soaps go. Goodness. I have even posted that my feelings about the writing for Lucas is not unlike those, maybe, of people who felt EJ was written as a cartoon villain in order to prop Rafe as a hero for Sami or whatever. I get that soaps act like this. I am not claiming to be the winner of the disappointed or betrayed or let down viewer prize. I get it. I've been in the boat myself before. We've all been there. I am not boasting the biggest war wounds. Like, AT ALL.

And even if some of these traits are in character for Lucas, I still feel like he has been reduced to his least attractive traits. and then they are being dilated. You can disagree, but that's how I feel. And whether they are consistent with his character or not, I still don't like the Sami, EJ Will here, and Lucas over there writing. That is what I talked more about in my post, and that is what I found especially upsetting. And I am also upset that Lucas needs to be dragged though this Ejami whatever, when he wasn't necessary if the writers wanted to go for Ejami. And I am unhappy that my two-year wait for Bryan to return, was for him to return to do this. That I don't like. And the way you felt about Lucas when he first came on the scene, well that's how I've felt about EJ all these years.

And the point is I am just stating my opinions. I don't like the writing or current direction, so I don't want to watch. When this very, very bad tide passes, I will likely resume watching daily again, even though Ejami will likely be together. I'll deal.

That is great that you are getting the EJ and the coupling you like - that is great. I am glad for you and respect those feelings. But I am unhappy, and those are my feelings. And I think they can be tolerated and respected too.

Yeah, I was in the not watching boat for several months from last summer to around February of this year. It wasn't because EJami weren't together, hell I've dealt with 6 years of WTFery on that front, but the show just sucked so bad that I found better things to do each day until I had found that I stopped watching all together. It wasn't that I quit cold turkey and made a declaration, (although I was pissed enough to threaten that a few times! lol) I just simply didn't have a reason to watch. Then a friend mentioned that EJami had the grief sex encounter and I was stunned. I hadn't seen that coming when I stopped watching. SO I then visited a couple boards, tuned into some youtube footage, took another gander at the show, and found that I really liked Will. WHAT!? DId I just say that!!?? I have hated Will since he became old enough to sound like Lucas, but what do you know!? HE brought me back to Days! Then I found that there was hope for EJami again and got interested in that, then learned that Eric would be coming back and was excited that perhaps he and Nikki could re-connect because I miss liking her. I haven't for quite some time. So now, I am hoping that they can give me some good stories and even more reason to watch, because I am hooked again and loving it! :)

I have said over and over again that the writers need to make it clear who the rooting couple is in order for the audience to care and feel invested. I feel that they are finally doing so. IMO They are finally making clear that, at least for now, Ejami is the rooting couple. It makes such a difference!
They're not doing anything different than what they've done with Safe, Lumi, Ejole, etc at various times. I think it's a little late for them to truly establish a rooting couple out of these characters. Everyone's been split for too long.
I think they're making it clear that Ejami is the rooting couple for NOW. Who knows how long they will be written that way. (I personally hope for a long time). The difference that I'm seeing (and I really hope I continue to see) is less of the confusing crumb-throwing that has been the hallmark of the Sami-centered pairings for years.
They're not a couple yet ..... she still loves/is with Lucas.

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.

actually, lucas asked sami straight out if she wanted to be with ej or him at the very beginning of their convo in the hallway. she dodged the question. he kept asking her again, but all sami was concerned about was ej. i think sami made her choice when she went after ej at the police station instead of running after lucas. kate did a great job of educating lucas on ejami relationship, but lucas is still in denial.

I just can't ever see Sami choosing one guy to be with. She likes to have EJ and Lucus hanging on as she goes back and forth. And she has never wanted EJ enough to choose him to be with over anyone. She likes to sleep with him, but there has never been anything else with EJ for her.


i think it is quite obvious that is exactly what she is doing now finally: she is choosing ej over anyone else including lucas and her family (the bradys). i could not be any happier about it.
No she isnt choosing anyone. Just because she helps him doesn't mean she chooses him as her lover or anything. She helped him with the immigration thing in 2008, but she didn't choose him as her lover.

2 different situations. sami was not ready to follow her heart yet and she still loved lucas back then. now it is obvious she does not love lucas, at least not in a romantic way. sami will choose ej next week. i would bet on it.

the way the framing sami thing was brought up pissed me off big time because they are trying once again to rewrite history regarding what happened back then. i mean people get outrageous because ejami past are swept up under the carpet. yet the writers are rewriting the fact that lucas killed someone and went along with mommy direct when she framed sami for the murder while lucas watch sami serve time and go on death row.
why bring up it up if you are not going to bring it accurately. lucas acts like he had nothing to do with the framing. lol, he went along with it for gwad sake.

and she stood aganist her family for ej on 2010 when she chose to marry ej but it was only she could not have rafe at the time

true. but IMO, she fixed that little mistake when she went to ej and screwed him and enjoyed while being married to rafe. so funny that sami cheated on rafe with ej of all people just a couple of years after choosing rafe over ej. :laugh: :laugh:

If Ejami is being written as the rooting couple, I am certainly not rooting for them. I am just waiting, hoping for whatever show they are previewing to get on the road already (or for it to die in the water, either way), for Lucas to save himself from this nonsense and move onto another storyline. And then once that's all leveled out, I can anticipate and watch for the tides to change again. So I am just waiting out the worst of the storm right now - I expect to be in misery for awhile, but that's ok. Nothing new. But I can see from miles away what's happening here, and the getting there is the worst of it. I just want to put a band-aid and move on, until the next sea change. I am a realist, but I ain't giving up hope for down the road.

i would not expect you to root for ejami because you want lumi. i understand and respect that. but i am an ejami obsessed fan and i am rooting for them all the way. we have been through hell under the poisonous pen of DH an co. so i am pretty happy right now and i hope it lasts.

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!
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.
Something tells me Lucas is going to get the answer to his question loud and clear this week. Just like he said, it's all right there in Sami's actions. ;)

yeah, if lucas does not get it next week, he NEVER will. sami has been making her choice clear with every action that she has taken for the past week. lucas is just a slow learner lol.

Well since he was with Nicole for the better part of three years you got your time and i had to suffer because I could not stand my favorite character with the likes of Nicole . Now i happen to have a love./hate relationship with Sami and I don't call her a beast as frankly she is probaby the most beautiful woman on the show to me. I do like EJ and Sami and make no bones about it and so the way they were written I basically had nothing i could truly enjoyed. I watched the show much like Socr mom because I have watched my whole life and it is a hard to break habit but I rarely posted on message boards because I totally disagreed with the people on them and out of respect just lurked. Now i see more like minded people posting and so i feel I can post positive things instead of being a constant negative nellie. I do hope the writing improves for all the characters but not at the expense of Ejami as happened before. It's a big change for me to actually be excited to see the show each day and read the spoilers with out an antacid.

I guess I find it odd that people who aren't watching the show for whatever the reason would bother to discuss it on a message board. It is a free country but I guess if I didn't watch the young and the restless why would I frequent their boards and post. I would have nothing to base my opinion on good or bad.
Many of the people who are currently watching have stopped watching and continued posting prior to this. This isn't something new. Many of us have a long history with the show and continue to keep up with it hoping a change will eventually make us want to watch again. Some people, like me, may be watching occasional clips but just are finding the show as a whole to be pretty awful. It doesn't really matter much. But let's not pretend like pretty much all of us haven't been in the "I'm not watching" boat at some point. I'd be happy to pull up some old posts to prove it. I happen to find the board a heck of a lot more entertaining than the show, and I usually need something to do at work. ;)

Please stop this. And it's not disrespectful to disagree with someone on a message board. If everyone had the same opinion, it would be boring.

Yeah, I doubt any 30-something pairings will ever get the consistent "root for" writing like the major couples of the past. TPTB have made it clear they don't want to do supercouples anymore because they feel it limits their options, so the most any couple is going to get is "root for right now" writing. Ejami is definitely getting better writing than Lumi at the moment, but I'm sure the direction will shift at some point in the coming months. The message is clear... If you are enjoying the writing for your couple then soak it up while you can because it probably won't last for too long.
That's why I dont understand any of this rooftop jumping. Everything is temporary. And if you turn off the show, you might miss a couple things happening, 1. Your couple comes back around, 2. While your waiting, you might start liking a new story/couple.

Of course, you don't have too, its a free country. But by refusing to watch period, you're guaranteeing you'll never get to see your favorite couples, or any couples, let alone your favorite DAYS actors, ANYMORE, cause eventually the show will get cancelled.

You may say "who cares," and for those that think that, let me just point out that MANY OF US sure post/gripe/rant/rave/snark/like/dislike/WTF on this board a helluva lot (let alone tweet, FB, write letters, make phone calls, make banners, send gifts, go to fan events, etc).

Without the show, all this will go away (or become weird in a Miss Havisham kind of way). And if the board's still around, we'll only be able to post in one place about Days, the Classic Discussion thread.

If that's enough for you, carry on.
Not all of us have stopped watching because of couples. ;)
ITA.....I can deal with all this shit, I have before but when they totally don't give me ONE reason to watch then I have issues. I will see the cliffhanger and see what happens after and I'll probably keep watching regardless as the ONLY time I totally tuned out was a few months when I had NOTHING tying me to Days anymore....it was really from March of 2010 through after Sami shooting Ej and then I tuned back and it was never the same for me again. I watch out of habit at this point, not because I'm enjoying anything.

Why the focus on what people are doing all of a sudden? I don't get it? EVERYONE that posts here has said at various times that they are not watching...so what's the big deal?

There is no "all of a sudden." There has never been a time when there weren't posts pointing out that not supporting the show means cancellation and asking why non watchers keep popping in to complain. Many of us have been on the receiving end of it in the past.

Don't get up. So how are you? What happened, eh? Let me guess, Stefano told you that you could fly,and you jumped off a building. HeHe It's funny right, no I'm sorry Bad EJ, I should'nt be that cruel!

I don't think anyone should be so invested in a couple, these writers change couples like a new diaper for babies. I personally love Ejami, but I understand why it may not be everyone else cup of tea, everyone have different opinions.

I don't think this show is unwathable but I do fast forward the majority of it, I usually glance at the info, if nothing catces my interest, I skip it.

But going back to my original point, this show is not really doing any wonders by prancing around couples anyway. I am not to silly to believe that they are going to keep writing a couple and not add another one down the road or a stupid triangle.

The writers try to keep all fan bases, so they throw crumbs at each one, this time may be Ejami,next is Safe, then it is Lumi, than it is the same thing over and over again.

I don't put any trust in any writer that my couple will reign supreme for long, as soon as you get invested, BAM they throw in another couple.
