Does SOD actually come up with scoops or breaking news anymore or do they pretty much stick to PR dept approved interviews & whatever info they are given from the show's PTB ? Edited by trojangal, Jul 26 2012, 11:31 PM.

They get scoops, but it seems like they can't ever post them until someone else (an actor on twitter usually) slips up and breaks it first. |

Taylor was interested in him. Eric left town before the whole story came out, but Nicole dropped big hints about what happened and he didn't hold it against her. He even slept with her on the side while she was married to Lucas, but being a good guy, he felt bad about it and eventually left town. They were together for a few months, but it was serious - they got engaged. |

I liked EJ calling her Nikki. It seemed more personal & close. :wub: Brandon always called her that too. :wub: |

TFP. I liked the article quite a lot. I found it strange that there was no mention of Nicole though. |

I just read the entire JS article. IMO it doesn't read anything like the summery did and it's clearly brand new. ETA: by brand new. I'd guess the last 1-3 weeks Edited by Shadow, Jul 27 2012, 12:26 AM.

It's possible the truth is she really isn't relevant to EJ's SL anymore, especially if she looses the baby. |

I think people were going on the summary. I saw a scan, and the article posted online and it reads differently to me than the summary. They would have to be discussing a "relationship," and how Sami and EJ will be "getting together" before they could talk about pacing in relation to their history. |

For some reason JS is holding back in EJ's ardour for Samanther. He's is spending all this amount of time and has yet to make it obvious to me that he truly wants to be with her. The fact that he still tells Sami that his plan really was to spend the rest of his life with Nicole (if only she would change her mind), he hasn't deviated from that plan. He's "waiting" for Nicole to say the magic words or whatever and he'll be back to his normal self (plotting and scheming merrily along). Why is he so sad and appearing lonely he's hanging out with two of his attempted murderers? Because in boosting their egos (Will is attracted to the 'power' and money, Sami just likes the attention of a hot blooded alpha male even when she has wonderful guys laready warming her bed, she has never changed in this regard) they are boosting his. The things EJ is saying to Sami he has said to Nicole time and time again during their on and off for the last four years. He screwed up royally and she dumped him subsequently, so he needed someone to fill that Nicole has held for four years (Nicole has always believed in him, believed he could do great things, believed he was a wonderful person despite his flaws, she has encouraged him, supported him at almost every cost because that is what she wanted to do for him) and hence the incredible wtf'ery every scene with EJ/Sami because before March 2012 this type of relationship between them was non existent. |

The "for some reason" has already been explained in the article.
You're right, EJ has said that his plan WAS to spend the rest of his life with Nicole, you know like around 18 months ago, his plan was to be with Taylor for the rest of his life, or years before to be with Sami or the rest of this life. Essentially in that statement he made to Sami, his plans changed. He slept with Sami, Nicole (rightfully) believes that it's always Sami, Sami, Sami. In fact, when he was talking to Sami, he was describing how he was losing everything but he didn't know what he would do it wasn't for her[Sami]; essentially, Sami was the one person who stuck around for him when everything in his world was falling apart. We'll have to agree to disagree on EJ waiting for Nicole to say the magic words since last week he was pretty focused on getting Sami to say some magic words. I'd agree that he's told Sami and Nicole the same thing but that he said the same thing to Sami first. He pursued her first and gave his ode to her for a significant period of time before Nicole even came onto the scene. The thing about EJ's relationships with both women, and JS has alluded to this in a interview not too long ago, is that he gets different things from them. First comes along Sami, the love of his life as EJ had stated several times, and goes after it HARDCORE. Of course, Sami doesn't bite, one of the many reasons being that she doesn't accept him. In comes in Nicole in 2008 and she accepts and loves him for him. That's great in EJ's mind, he's getting something from her that he couldn't get from Sami. But of course, even though he thinks he has what he wants and believes he can even love her at least close to how he loves Sami, his love for Sami always pulls him back into her orbit. It has shown in several ways over the years, ranging from dreams to recently grief sex. I personally think EJ wants both: an encompassing love with someone who understands him and accepts him. Who doesn't. IMO, the fact that he is alluding to it to Sami, and her slightly awkward reaction to it leads me to believe that he'll get both pieces with Sami soon. Hell, she even went to verbally encourage him to make a run for it by saying that's he's EJ Dimera for goodness' sakes, someone who has done anything and said anything to get what he wants, etc. It's not "ILY EJ for exactly who you are" but it's good step in the right direction for Sami. Still, this is just a spec and really I can't say for sure if it's going to happen; I'm not writing the show but that's what it looks like it's heading to me. I guess we'll have to wait and see how things shake out. |

No wonder NBC is struggling with both their daytime and night time lineup. Idiots are at the helm. And DAYS keeps promising to deliver and they fail everytime. I am sure that some are tickled pink at this article while others are ready to pull their hair out. But the cold hard fact remains that it is not working. And ratings show it. Does Corday really think that fans are going to continue to watch when so much frustration is evident. Fans have already made a mass exodus and it just seems that it is more of the same. And he is doing absolutely nothing to change it. And this is why his ratings aren`t budging. They keep playing the same angle with their different writing regimes, hoping it sticks. And for six years their A-focus has been the EJ-Sami story. It`s been a long stream of intelopers tossed in as they`ve tried to sell the story, talent being wasted in the process, and storyline potential just overlooked in favor of contrived plots. I don`t have a horse in the ejami vs. Lumi vs. Safe races. But i do think that a lot of opportunities have been wasted for lucas nicole rafe and anyone not involved in this looonggg drawnout so called ejami saga. Frankly rafe nicole and lucas deserve better. And why any of them are willing to stand and wait for ej and samis crumbs is just ludricous. There are more fish in the sea as they say. And i say that to the writers. As for james scott wanting it loooonnngggg and drawn out, let me put it to u this way bud. U have almost taken up close to a decade of my beloved show with your so called story and i am sick of it. And get this writers, if u have all this hot chemistry with them, u do not have to be scared to put them together. That would be like the writers being scared to put bope, jarlena, jack/jenn, shane/kim together. But then again they dont come anywhere close to these legendary pairings. Not even close. All i know is that i don`t want ejami hogging up the screen when eileen and greg come on or when everybody elses story begins. The stats need to change on the monthly episodes rating charts for sure. Well the show goes on and maybe just by slim chance things will get better. But i am not all that hopeful. |

I agree and I know I've criticized Corday on many occasions. He's known to have flat out lied about some things, but at least THIS particular time he seems to have absolutely no control or a very limited amount of control over his own show. It does appear like NBC is calling the shots from everything from storyline dictates to who they feature and why. To me that spells even more disaster because NBC doesn't give a flying fuck about Days of Our Lives....if they can't even get their act together and make Today a success again....or fix their prime time lineup that is suffering badly, then what makes anyone think that they actually know what daytime viewers are looking for? I've convinced that NBC stepped in to do one thing and one thing only...make the show so horribly bad that they will have the excuse to cancel it. The only saving grace at that point is the Corday has a chance then to shop the show around and try to get it picked up by another network, since he could easily blame the cancellation on decisions imposed by NBC which he had no control of and had to go by. Problem with that is that we know NO network is going to likely want to pick up Days. So in the end, IMHO Days is toast one way or another. |

Well I think Ejami has never been given full-on root for writing before now. I think and hope the writers are trying it now. Maybe it will help the ratings. Maybe it won't. But at least it will have been tried. It makes no sense to me that it hasn't been tried yet. I wish I knew the backstory on why not. I'm not into debating numbers, but they have a fanbase. I don't get why there would be resistance to trying any coupling that might help the show, from Tptb or from fans of the show. I ended up not liking Safe, but I gave them a chance. Same for Ejole and even ejaylor (well, I only watched Ejaylor on YouTube, but I gave them a chance). |

You are totally missing what I'm saying....it's not that the interview was conducted months ago...it's that he MIGHT BE referring to a time where he spoke to the writers about slowing it down with Ejami. For instance...we know that in late March, Ejami went from "I Hate you and you are going to end up alone" to "OMG this Pinot is fantastic and the sex was good and I'll take the house and I don't give a shit if you are blackmailing my son, you are still fantastic".... I can see how JS and AS would be concerned about their characters and the direction by MarDar at the time that seemed to point at a very rapid shift and how they were interacting. Is it REALLY that far fetched for JS/AS AT THAT TIME to approach MarDar or Meng or whomever about how quickly Ejami seemed to have been shifted from hate to friend mode and how concerned they might be about that. THEN, this interview opportunity comes around now and JS is asked about Ejami and he just happens to mention that he and AS spoke to the writers about going slow with Ejami. Fact: We don't know when he spoke to the writers about going slow with Ejami. Fact: JS doesn't mention that he spoke to the 'new writers' the 'new regime' or Tomlin and Whitesell and he doesn't specify he spoke to 'the former writers' the 'old regime' or "Marlene and Darrell"...so how can ANYONE be so sure that he is talking about future and not present or past. |
