I found the scene where Sami steps off the elevator after being attacked humorous. I know I wasn't supposed to, but something about that scene just cracked me up.
I really hope Tomlin/Whitesell give Cameron and Abigail an actual story. The chemistry is there between the two, but they're not doing anything. And of course Jack and Jennifer are totally supportive. Why couldn't one of them not be? Too generic. Give us a story for this pairing!
And where the hell is JJ? Still at boarding school? I hope Tomlin/Whitesell fix the JJ problem the same way they did Mickey. Kill the kid off or bring him on and have him interact with his family, as well as Ciara and Theo. You weren't alone in thinking Sami stepping off the elevator was humorous. I did too. There was such a mixture of defeat and dejection. In spite of how stomped down Sami was at that point, you could sense her disappointment that she hadn't been able to complete her mission. I really liked the way AS played that scene. I especially loved how she was so done in she couldn't even bother to get her keys out. Instead, she just banged on the door.
Good scene.
And JJ's been in boarding school in England since MR came back. I'm sure he'll return by the time he's 30.

I loved Jack today. I forget how expressive MA is. MA looked wonderful today. I loved it except for Jack, yet again, giving Jennifer all the credit for the good in his life. I happen to remember Jennifer insisting she couldn't help Jack and that he needed to fix himself since he wasn't a 'happy man'.

I enjoyed the Jack, Jennifer and Abigail scenes . If only they had given us more of these over the last 9 months. There were signs of the JnJ chemistry back at last - they could have done so much more with it.Can't believe they are wasting MA again. But I wish they wouldn't keep going on about what a bad father he was etc etc He wasn't. My other gripe was why did he refer to himself as a father figure insted of just father? He's Abigail's father for God's sake not one of Jennifer's many teJack substitutes!

We've got Lucas McShouterson & Will McGrinnerson. Both you, STOP IT.
Although I did catch Will's over grinning, I didn't find Lucas as shouty in today's episode as I did in previous ones. I think he was pretty mellowed out in this episode, in comparing it to other recent episodes I think he toned down the yelling a bit.
IT is truly a pleasure having an episode that has Jack and Lucas on. I just hope that sooner or later they bring Jack back...and give Lucas something to do that doesn't involve circling Sami's orbit 24/7. I love Lumi very much, but the character of Lucas has so much to offer....he's very complex and he's pretty popular outside of his pairing with Sami....do something already with the guy please!

Ugh! I'm not even going to get started. clearly everyone sees this for the pile of shit it is...

I actually found Lucas MUCH less shouty in today's episode then he's been in a while. I think maybe the director told him to pull it back. You can so tell he wanted to go there lol
Ok, I like Will still...but the grinning is way out of hand. Maybe he's been dipping into Brady's protein shakes? I really hope that grin means he's hatching some plot to take EJ down or something because it's very bizarre. Or maybe he'll be "ripped from the headlines" and on bath salts and start gnawing on EJ's face.
I'm beginnning to think Abby, when in scenes with Cameron, is always shifting her eyes around because she cannot stare at Frankenleno's chin. Jack, until his last scene with Cameron seemed to be averting his eyes too.
I enjoyed Jack (who was looking far less homeless today) in his scenes with Abby but did NOT appreciate that in all of his scenes he basically rambled on about what a shitty father he was. It still irks me. And to know that in the end it was basically all about telling Abby to go ahead and get her Frankenleno on. It's all good. Annoying. Still, I appreciated that he was on at all.
LMAO @ the tunnel gang just going around in circles, exiting a scene the way they went in. I understand the set is only so big, but it still made me chuckle.

Since I'm one who commented that scenes between Lucas and Will fell fell flat for me on last week, I should go on record saying that Bryan's performance was much stronger in yesterday's show. Less histrionics made for greater impact, and for the first time since September's reboot, I actually enjoyed Jennifer. Family scenes make her much more likable than the femme fatale role TIIC seem to want her to play. :hmmph:

Geez. Will seemed like he was high as a kite or something. The perma-grin would not go away the entire time he was with EJ. Even at the most inappropriate moments, he was sitting there grinning like a fat kid with a lollipop. It seemed like even JS gave a chuckle because he was thinking, "Geez, Chandler. Get a grip." It was distracting and the whole scene was just weird because of it. I really didn't like the way CM played it at all yesterday.
Damnit. I am going to miss Matt Ashford sooooo freakin much on this show. Could he have been any better in those scenes yesterday with Abby? :wub:

I love Jack, but not happy about these final scenes, they are so Abby focused and they down grading Jack to an absent, unprotective father. IMO, that is not comepletely true, just that he was absent in Salem when Abby was a show feature, what about the last 5 years in London, was he absent then? Ignored and forgotten? It was obviously the easiest way TPTB could set Jack up, to be thrown him under the bus. I will miss MA/Jack he was very endearing in his scenes today, JnJ magic is back, they are just beginning to be themselves and now it will all to be taken away again! Boohoo!

Look at you. You almost got yourself killed today. Sami - This wasn't EJ's fault and I'm fine. Lucas - No you're not fine and I'm not going to let the woman that I love risk her life trying to defend some guy who's thrown her under the bus a million times.
You know whose fault it is, it's Lucas's fault for telling Ian about the flash drive. Good job Lucas, keep blaming EJ for your actions and for things he didn't do. He's looking stupider and stupider. While Sami and her can't let Rafe and her father handle it because they want EJ to fry finally gets how bias they are.
I think Lucas only told them about the video not about the flash drive.I don't think anyone knew about the flash drive until Sami told Will just prior to her telling Ej.Rafe told EJ yesterday there was no confidentialty when he was talking to Will because the poice station was monitored.I think someone working for Ian heard Sami tell EJ about the flashdrive while in the office at the police station.
off course no one knew about flash drive; but I an had his ppl on the alert because of Blabbermouth Horton. I was responding to the post stating Lucas told Ian about the flash drive.But I still don't see how Lucas would know Ian had anything against EJ or that a city server could or would be hacked.

what Sami told him was told in confidence, not to be broadcasrted about; sometimes one needs to learn when to STFU and Lucas def. needs a go at that lesson.
Well since Lucas is not her husband,a priest,or a doctor and Sami did not ask Lucas to keep their conversation confidential,I don't have a problem with Lucas telling Kate and Ian what happened.Especially since Lucas would not have any reason to believe Kate or Ian wished EJ any ill will.Plus he only told them about the surveillance cameras not about the flashdrive since Lucas did not know about the flashdrive prior to the attack on Sami.
you don't ned a defined role to have simple common sense to know somethings are not meant to go spreading to the world; he knows Ian is shady given John's reaction to the man, but what does he care right, EJ deserves jail even if innocent. The insecure, jealous idiot triggered everything because Ian was not on the lookout until after he went running his damn mouth off. Ej may not be guilty of murdering Stefano but he is hardly an "innocent man".

The episode that I saw, Lucas saw the letter fall out of the bag. Read it when he shouldn't have, then took it. That is definitely stealing. I don't care what Lucas did, in fact, I'm glad he moved the action along, but it's stealing.
.At least Lucas took the letter to John and Marlena and then to the police instead of trying to blackmail EJ himself.
Because that would have been the smart and strong thing to do, so naturally, Lucas didn't do it. The writers are doing Lucas no favors with having him behave like that. He can't handle this on his own, so he blabbed to Jarlena and the Salem PD. IMO, it's like EJ said--he's a coward. Given that Lucas has seen first hand how blackmail has worked for Sami,EJ,and Will in the past ,I think Lucas did do the smart (and right) thing by going to Marlena,John, and the police instead of stooping to the level of the others.Even though its a soap ,I think its great that the writers are showing a character with morals and integrity ,like his grandmother, Alice Horton.

EJ has no money to pay bail but SAMI does what the lunacy is that GT? He owns jets to run away with and buildings that Sami is living rent free, Lucas is squatting in, but he has no bail money because Alice wrote a letter which they have no DNA proof proving anything. Chad and Brady scenes in the tunnels I'm excited for. - Quote:
-
Sami - He has done a lot to hurt all of us but I'm thinking about Johnny and Sydney and I don't want to see the looks on their faces when they have to hear that their daddy has been carted off to prison. Lucas - Johnny and Sydney will know the truth about their father; that he's a murderer. Sami - Do you think Allie should know why you got sent to jail for shooting EJ? Lucas - That's totally different. I did that to protecgt Will. At least Allie will know I did everything I could to protect her brother. All Johnny and Sydney are going to know is that their father killed their grandfather in cold blood.
Nice Lucas, he could care less about Johnny and Sydney. Why is the word Franco banned? Scene would have worked better if Sami pointed out if Lucas wanted Allie to know about Franco and everything that surrounded her framing. - Quote:
-
i have keep expecting him to come in and take care of all of this mess
Que anvil of Stefano alive and taking care of the mess. - Quote:
-
Lucas - I'm glad to hear that the father of your other two children merits equal consideration. I mean out of the two baby daddy's you have I'm the one who doesn't take advantage of you. Sami - He is not forcing me to do anything. Lucas - Really? He's forcing Will.
Lucas is a one-note harpy, he's not forcing Will. How many times does everyone including Will need to tell Lucas that before he gets it? Will chooses to be where he is right now. 2 baby daddy's? Odd choice of words. Lucas talks like a reject from Jersey Shore. [
Sami has access to funds as the CEO of Countess W.EJ did not care about Allie and Will when he let Lucas go to prison after Will shot him.Will is an ungrateful idiot.
We don't even know if EJ knew the truth then, and even if he did, it was much better for Will to go to Switzerland than prison. He's too pretty and quick to cry. He never would have survived. To quote an old TV show "Don't do the crime,if you can't do the time.".

Will is being far too smiley today. - Quote:
-
Ej also knew about the drive and where she kept it....she showed it to him...I can see both actually doing it to get their hands on the flash drive knowing that if she made it home with the drive Lucas could get it and destroy it.
Seriously? :lol: She was going to the lawyers office via the park not her home that EJ owns to squatting Lucas. Unless I'm watching a different show. This is all Ian and Ian wouldn't know about the footage at all if it weren't for Lucas. Sami was a fool to trust him and she being mugged is due to that. Well as to Sami being a fool.What is new about that concept.
