I see EJ as someone who would hook up with Abby, she's young and beautiful but mostly inteligent an attractive feature that's hard to ignore but TomSell's EJ is a complete idiot that's why he stupidly goes after Sami over and over again thinking she'd change her mind, the very definition of insanity!

thats kinda of sad that lucas can't even be mentioned in the gabie pregnancy story none of these stories sound interesting to me
Other than this complaint about Lucas I have no complaints with these. I will probably never buy into E.J./Sami but I am surprised these particular writers are going there and I'll give it a shot. I want to see something happen with E.J. and Abigail for sure. It would be surprising, unexplored terrain and this show can definitely do with more of that. I am glad Jen and Dan were not mentioned. Small blessings and all that.

If they're putting their lock, stock and barrel into ejami then why not just continued with MarDar started? I feel sorry for all the ejami fans who are going to get excited over this when Galen has already let the cat out the bag and down the road it'll be Safe and not ejami.
That's only heresay at this point. I know some fans brought that back from an event, & id be interested in the whole context of what was said.

Many of the actors have said "never say never" types of statements to their fans with regards to couplings.

I don't think any couple is ever completely off the table & could be revisited at some point down the line.

KC making that statement to SOD (as much as I'm sure it pained him) kind of trumps any off the cuff statement made by an actor.

But, I'm sure at some point down the road Safe will be revisited.
IDK, I would have said it trumps it IF Ken had a tendency of telling the truth. As we all know he doesn't, soooo I'm sure they'll do Ejami the same way they've always done them. Sami will be thinking about someone else during the entire time I'm sure.

Think of it this way they could have just continued Ejami post cliffhanger, the insertion of Safe and their recent ILYs was all unnecessary unless there was a reason, a plot point to them. I'd be really surprised if they show a mutual love between Ejami. It will all be one sided again on Ej's part.

On the rest of the preview....

I like the Marlena trying to screw around with Kristen.

I'm intrigued by the potential Eric/Nicole story

I hate that AGAIN Lucas isn't mentioned where he should be, instead we get a Rafe mention instead. The fact that so many fans are clamoring for a story for lucas should tell them something.... Give the guy a love interest outside of Sami and write a good story Dammit!!

Love how unpredictable the gabi getting pregnant was right! Shocking, lol
If GT didn't have a hard on for GG, we would get a BD/Lucas mentioned in these storyline for November sweeps.

GT thinks everyone is clamoring for GG/Rafe. :sarcasm:

It is interesting GG is so loose lip without Sami in his storyline, he is dead in the water because he has no ties to Salem and no family history with anybody on this show except for Gabby and she is neither a Horton, Brady, and/or Dimera.

In a few months Gabi might be giving birth to a baby who has ties to a Brady and a Horton. And look how this show went to the Outer Limits to make Daniel have ties to the show.

"Gary Tomlin and Christopher Whitesell are doing the unexpected with the characters that I think will prove quite interesting to the viewers," says Executive Producer Ken Corday. "They're really ramping up to Thanksgiving into the new year. They're writing a much more concise show. We're looking at shows airing in mid-March and we know where it's going to be in six months and it looks really good."

John/Marlena/Kristen: Kristen's return poses a threat to John and Marlena's relationship. John believes Kristen has changed and Marlena doesn't. As a result, Marlena resorts to some underhanded, "un-Marlena-like" tactics. Says Corday, "[Marlena] doesn't tell John she's doing it and sooner or later, that's the kind of thing that comes back to bite you. But she's doing it for the sake of her relationship with John and the audience will be rooting for her."

Sami/EJ: Sami and EJ grow closer as they start working together. Says Corday, "We're putting our lock, stock and barrel in those two."

Eric's Return: Eric returns to Salem just in time for Thanksgiving. Corday says they brought him back because they wanted another character in his age range on the show and they wanted to give Nicole a front-burner story. (For those unaware, Eric is one of Nicole's many exes.)

Gabi/Nick/Will/Sonny: Gabi receives big news that not only affects her relationship with Nick, but also affects Sonny, Will, Rafe and Sami. Says Corday, "We'll be seeing a lot of the under-25 crowd, which in the past has always proved successful."

Kate/Stefano: Kate receives divorce papers from Stefano. She has a big story on the horizon.

Pick up the latest Digest for details!
TFP.

I have just been beyond frustrated with TomSell's reboot. Why the supersonic rush to return to Safe and Dannifer? Why the convoluted moves to make Rafe and Daniel the center of the Salem universe? :hmmph: Greg Vaughn's upcoming arrival has been a rare bright spot and I've been wishing James and Alison to be paired in a legitimate love story for years, so this set of spoilers is a major step in the right direction. However, it's tough to get too excited based on past experience with these two. :peek:

If Ejami is the lock stock and barrel, then wtf are we watching Safe for? That lock stock and barrel certainly hasn't been a ratings winner for the last 5 years. Maybe stop considering that tired old triangle a front burner story. It's TIRED! I think the only thing TomSell could do that unexpected is to write a cohesive exciting show that utilizes more than the same 4 characters every single freaking day.

Ill watch Wilson, Nick, Nicole (finally out of the Dannifer suckfest) and
Kristen. The rest of the hourglass can run out of sand.

I don't particularly care if the character has ties to the Hortons or Bradys.... Jeremy Horton ring a bell.
I care if the character is interesting, believable and not a total douchebag....... Nurse Maxine.

So much to go back and read - BUT just to put my two cents in on these spoilers, first on the Ejami stuff, they're putting their lock, stock and barrel into these two. Reading bwteen those lines says that whether the viewers enjoy it or not they are for the most part on for at least the next six months because they film so far in advance so if the couple and storyline is bad we are stuck with it. On the other Day's is giving Ejami's they're long payoff. (Side Note) Rafe not mentioned in that one I'd bet he'll be in play for most of it.

Excuse me to give Nicole a front burner storyline (one of their best actresses) they needed to bring in another actor when they had others before that would have given her that. Sorry I find that insulting as an AZ fan, don't shove Eric Brady (GV) down my throat (Jesen Ackles would be different we know they had chemistry) but before GV even airs and tell me they're the couple I should root for with Nicole. Until I've seen them on screen and if they have chemistry is when I the viewer will make that decision.

As usual Corday is so out of touch with everything and his wording is like a dictator telling us no matter what he's going his route whether the fans like it or not. :flipoff: How many times or should I say how low do the ratings need to get before the man realizes he should keep his pie hole shut.

This show is NOTHING like it used to be. The writers suck and and are too arrogant to listen to the fans. Overall, Tomilin and Whitesell are EPIC FAILURES.

I'm wracking my brain to work out ways that EJ and Sami can be a believable couple to me with everything that has happened. (because if they are going to go with it I want it to be worth my while) So far the only way I have come up with is that Rafe was/is a Stefano plant. Stefano concerned that EJ was getting a bit too independent in his thinking and prepared to deny his Dimera roots planted Rafe in the Safehouse to get rid of Samanther. But then when Rafe found out Samantha was pregnant Stefano realised he couldn't kill her yet without killing his unborn grandchild (and being part Marlena these children are of vaule to him). Instead worked on getting Rafe to romance her away from EJ thinking that they would manage to get custody later. Just when he dealt with one woman the other one started getting too much control over EJ hence drugged strawberries and Ejole 1 miscarriage (harlot bad DNA child so easy to dispose of). This theory explains how
a) Rafe never seems to be that into Samanther. hence expressionless emotionless acting.
b) Rafe whilst generally coming across as thick as a wooden plank always manages to uncover the answers to stefanos great crimes ie where Stefanos safe house is, EJ kidnapping Sydney stopping the wedding, etc.
c) the ease with which Stefano was able to produce a convincing replicant.
d) exposure of fake Rafe was required to get rid of Taylor who was also looking like becoming a problem.
e) Stefano pressuring Will to expose the Sami / EJ tryst to Nicole so as to get rid of her.
f) the need for Rafe to be involved in the Nicole pregnancy story part 2.

In the upcoming weeks Samanther heads over to the mansion (after looking elsewhere first) to give EJ a tongue lashing only to be surprised by spying Rafe consulting with Stefano. Some lines from Stefano about how foolish his son is how can he continue to go after this woman after all that we have done. Samanther in a total OOC moment hightails it out of there and searches out EJ with the news. EJ is in total denial but agrees to consider the concept. Together they start to uncover Stefano's plot of keeping them apart through the use of Rafe. Finally Rafe and Stefano are exposed to all. EJ and Sami regret their missed time together and reconnect their family. Both decide they can't stay in Salem where their family creates too much pressure and they head off with Johnny and Sydney to start a new life elsewhere. Lucas and his new love have custody of Allie.

Post Script. Since the Hernandai worked so well with EJ Stefano decided to go with a similar concept for young Chad. Kate and Stefano were able to get rid of Abby but Melanie proved a bit more stubborn. Hence the need for Gabi.

Sorry for me Ejami is just no way rootable (sorry to any Ejami's on this board) but mainly because Sami and EJ have done so many despicabe things to one another, you just can't spin into love. EJ to Sami - I love you so much that I can't get you out of my mind, so please shoot me in the head and then go bang Rafe. Sami to EJ - I love you so much and you're the best I've ever had in bed, so wait while I check out other options just in case, insert (pun intended) Lucas, Rafe, and Rafe 2.

Not even mentioning the battle over the kids, etc, etc, etc.

I know Ejami's think there is a love story in there someplace BUT I just can't see it, and now I can't even watch a scene with Sami. :shrug:

Do you know how glad Im am that they are finally giving the couple a chance. And Im not even a shipper for them. I dont care if Sami falls for Ej. Hell, shes laid up with him twice and had two kids, so why the hell not?!
I say let Ejami have their time in the sun. Its gonna happen eventually. This shit has been going on for, what?, 6 years? Just them have their day in the sun and go with it! More power to them!

b]Gabi/Nick/Will/Sonny:[/b] Gabi receives big news that not only affects her relationship with Nick <------(Who the hell didnt see this coming 10 miles away?) , but also affects Sonny, Will, Rafe and Sami.

I just cant figure out how you can be a photographer one day and a priest the next? Anywho!

Eric could be the hottest priest Ive ever seen..A whole lot better than Pa Walton, LOL (Father Matt)

...And so ends the Days of Our Lives.

Seriously, let's just destroy the show by devoting it to the two worst characters/actors on the cast. Brilliant!

Tomlin/Whitesell will achieve the dubious distinction of being the dummies who finally get DOOL cancelled.

It's a damn shame.
