Awe, today's episode broke my little "Caustin" heart! I'm really going to miss these two. Two bad their returns were wasted on a dumb triangle with Rafe. Sigh.

Where were Austin's goodbyes with Billie? Lucas? Hell, I would've even settled for a final scene with Abigail, too. Lol. And what about Carrie? She didn't say goodbye to Marlena, Caroline, "Bope", even Sami... Imagine how great that could have been! Ugh.

Also, I really hope Kate has a big story in the fall. I wish they would use Lauren Koslow more, because I always find Kate fascinating.
I would LOVE to see a big storyline for Kate coming up in the Fall too. I am intruiged by this character I always have been. Lauren does a great job playing Kate. I really want to see more of her. I want the writers to give her more storylines involving her. They really use to use Lauren Koslow more than they have been for all of us Kate fans out there.

I am going to love seeing her reaction whenever Stefano makes his return. I can see that she still loves him and still thinks about him. So that could be something written for Kate right there it does not have to be all because there is so much that they should do with Kate so much that I would like to see them do with her. I am really hoping thought that Kate/Stefano will eventually have a reunion and that it will be good (keeping my fingers crossed on that one). Oh Be Still my State loving heart. :wub: I would so be on :cloud9: .

Today's show was great. I enjoyed all the stories except the Rafe and Carry stuff. It is really making me not like Carry, I guess I'm glad she is gone. At least for now. The kidnapping story is good. I'm going to miss Mel.

I did like today's episode with the exception of a few parts:
RAFE AND HIS ANNOYING SISTER

Rafe flashback to Sami, has to be from GT, even though I saw Mar/dar were still credited with writing this episode, it screams some SAFE pimping. I don't think Days will ever learn that the majority of the viewers don't like Sami with Rafe. Just look @ the days FB recently when they asked who Sami's soulmate is. Very few of the answers were Rafe, actually more people said Sami herself than Rafe. I can see that there will be a rekindle of SAFE later down the road and that hurts my heart, eyeballs, brain, just everything on me hurts thinking of even one more second of those 2.

Gaby- You are your brother's sister.

Sami is super adorable today with her little pink blazer jacket and cute hairdo. I really liked her and Will's conversation. LOVED the Ejami scenes as well, Ej breaking that board was hilarious.

Melanie is really playing that Andrew, she was pretty good today and I am starting to like that crazy ass Andrew.

Oh yes I couldnt agree with you more. I actually walked away during Rafes little moment. Please don't go there again! I can't handle anymore Safe. Loved the Ejami scenes as well.

Carrie is suddenly Sami's big fan and telling her suddenly no longer true love that he isn't over Sami. I half expected her to say she was just the substitute for the great and powerful one. I predicted a Safe reunion the minute the old writers came back.
Will is so annoying. He whines and then expects to be treated like an adult. Lucas was always there for Will until Will ran off to live with his other parents Austin and Carrie.
Gabi knew that her fingerprints were on the note and she couldn't come up with a better story.
Sonny was good and Will wasn't overacting so much with him as he does with Sami.

The Sami Will scenes were ok today as were the Chad/EJ scenes.
Bye bye Caustin :wave: Hopefully you'll be back with Mini Caustin in tow.
Hope needed to bust Gabi big time. By weeks end I want Gabi found out.
I still want Sonny out of Wills drama (and get OFF that couch) whilst Will is still being annoying.
Oh and Safe :sarclap:

I actually really enjoyed today's episode and it held my attention all the way through.

I *thoroughly* enjoyed the Will/Sami scenes and thought they were some of the best in quite a while. I also loved the back & forth they had about Sami/EJ's past transgressions. Will admired EJ for always loving Johnny & Sidney. Sami retorted that he loved them so much he tried to keep her from ever seeing them again. Will retorted that it was after she shot him in the head. She retorted that THAT was after he kidnapped Sidney & made her believe she was dead. I thought that exchange was EXTREMELY well written. When I found out Carolyn Culliton was today's script writer, I shouldn't have been surprised.

Rafe told Carrie that it took a long time for him to get over Sami. Um... really? Rafe, you got over her in about the same amount of time as it took an ice cube to melt. smh

And did Carrie change her hair between her tearful goodbye with Rafe & when she showed up at the pub? It looked different.

I liked how Bo & Hope were on their "A" game and could tell Gabi wasn't being 100% truthful & then began to play cat & mouse with her to find out what she was hiding. I thought all of those scenes were well done.

I wasn't particularly taken with the EJ/Chad scenes because Deidrick seemed to be too obviously "ACK-TING" to me instead of just being Chad reacting to EJ's news. And when he said "You're in handcuffs? Have you been arrested?" Not much gets past Chad, does it? Except maybe his girlfriend being missing for weeks.

I swear that this kidnapping has actually made me *almost* like Melanie for the first time in, like, EVER. I'm embarrassed to say that I would not necessarily be opposed to a Melanie/Andrew pairing.
I agree that the Will/Sami scenes were ON POINT! Great dialogue and acting! I love the Will/Sami relationship-whether fighting or getting along.

Cafe scenes were okay. I always went back and forth about liking CAFE. Somedays I liked the idea of them as a couple and other days I didn't. I think if their relationship had been written better then they would've been a great couple.

Hated the Safe reference. Safe is over. Let's move on!

Good scenes between Austin & Kate. I actually liked Austin and wish he could stay.

I also enjoyed the BOPE scenes. I love when they work together to solve cases. I'm so going to miss Bo when he leaves!

It was nice to see Chad give EJ some support. I see what you mean about the "ack-ting" LOL! Not much natural chem between the 2 actors, but still enjoyable scenes. I like Chad but not a big fan of EJ/Chad scenes.

I like Melanie but not too affected by the fact that she will be leaving soon. Andrew is awesome!

Of course the EJAMI scenes rocked!!! And we got an EJAMI quick kiss---squeeee!! :wub:

Overall, a good episode of Days!

I hope and pray to the soapgods that the Rafe flashback (haven't seen it, just read about it) was put there to give Rami a proper closure some time down the line and that the worst pairing EVER, and I mean EVER will in no shape or form return. I am not a fan of the character of Sami. I can tolerate her with Brandon, Austin, Lucas, EJ and even Dan :laugh: if they decide to go there. I just cannot watch Sami and Rafe together in any scenes or in any scenes together with any other character. :frustration:

I do so enjoy Chad and EJ as brothers and am thrilled that the new writers are rebuiling and exploring that relationship! EJ needs a real guy friend and Will fills more of a subordinate or employee role, but Chad is his brother and should naturally fill that role of EJ's friend, confidant, and supporter - (regardless of DNA)

I've seen that CD is able to raise him game when he's in scenes with the veteran actors and part of a more serious storyline and JS, LK, and JM definitley bring out his best acting. I'm glad to see that reconnection of the Dimera boys!

Sami and Will were great today, going back and forth. Great dialogue there between both. I love when Sami showed Will her copy of the footage and he went to grab it, only for her to pull back and say, "Not so fast." It was so classic Sami and so great to see her having the upper-hand on Will for once.

Loved Austin and Kate's goodbye scenes. I've always viewed Austin as Kate's favorite, even more so than Lucas. So to hear her say Austin has brought nothing but joy into her life has rang so true. Those two rarely ever had a falling out, except for that time when Sami exposed Kate trying to kill her in front of Austin. I believe that was the only time Austin ever cut ties with Kate. And even that didn't last very long. I've always enjoyed their relationship, and I wish we got to see more of it when Muldoon as Austin.

Rafe and Carrie's scenes were clearly Tomlin/Whitesell's influence, and that's probably why Clark said her final scenes were from Tomlin/Whitesell scripts. The scenes were clearly rewrites, especially when Carrie told Rafe she believes Sami is still under Rafe's skin, and then he reflected on her saying that right before Sami was attacked. I totally expect to see Sami and Rafe reuniting once Tomlin/Whitesell are in full effect.

It's about time that Rafe finally acknowledges that he and Sami have unresolved feelings from their marriage. You don't marry someone for years, file for divorce and never deal with the anger, the hurt and the love that was left unresolved.

At least we saw EJ repeatedly begging Nicole for forgiveness and begging for another chance - even before he knew she was pregnant with his child. Sami and Rafe walked away from their marriage and never looked back. It was handled horribly. All the feelings and emotions were unceremoniously dismissed and we finally are heading back to Safe dealing with their feelings. It's about Time!

Not meaning to be rude or mean, but how do you know that the majority of viewers don't want Sami with Rafe? Unless you or someone has conducted a scientifically based survey of the millions of fans who watch Days every week, that is just your opinion. Only a small percentage of fans actually belong to message/fan boards and post there. Same with online surveys, which can easily be spammed in many cases.

I think they inserted a Safe flashback instead to make it more clear that he still has unresolved feelings for Sami. Rafe ripping up a picture of Sami might give viewers the wrong idea.

It's so obvious Tomlin is back in the house.

I wondered about that, too. We never saw that in this episode and it isn't in the day ahead either. I think it was cut out of the scene, and the flashback was put in instead.

Exactly the message boards only represent a small percentage of the actual viewers. Just because there may be more online fans of an actual pairing, doesn't mean that the majority of the actual audience wants them together. And a lot of times online numbers can be made to be misleading. JMO.
