November Sweeps Preview; "Tomlin and Whitesell are doing the unexpected..."

EJami! Yuck! But I doubt they'll go that far. As for GG in Atlanta saying that Carrie will return...was this when MarDar wanted her to come back, before they were fired and Caustin would be endgame? If Carrie is returning, totally rooting for Cafe as endgame. Then, Sami can dump EJ and go be with Lucas, and EJ can win back Nicole.

WilSon/Nabi: Why isn't Lucas here? Anyways, I like these two, but Gabi being pregnant is dumb and predictable.

Kate: She really needs to win back Stefano

Jarlena/Kristen: This is getting a bit old now, but I still hope they get more screentime than EJami

Ericole: I'll give them a shot, but I'd rather see Racole or EJole. Glad that they're not having her lust after Brady. They're better as friends.

Here's what Corday said last year about MarDar and the reboot (in SOD on November 15, 2011): "I think the writers did a good job with this [the reboot], but things will go at a much faster pace from mid-November into what I'm reading now, which is March. Stay tuned: Stakes will get much higher. After the first of the year...wow."

We already know what happened in mid-November (grief sex) and we know what happened after the first of the year and leading into March -- which is when things really starting going woo-woo (Alice's secret, Pawn/Gina, Cafe/Safehouse, Daniel's pro-longed farewell for a temporary va-cay, and the beginning of Nicole's baby daddy deceptions) That is also when they put the ki-bosh on the PTSD storyline and slowed or stopped WilSon in favor of EJill.

Corday may be selling, but we really, really shouldn't be buying. Caveat emptor!






We should just call it the "Cafehouse".

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
Sami does tell Rafe she loves him NEXT WEEK and Rafe tells her the same....Let's not forget that little fact! More of the same, it sounds like!

Didn't MarDar get fired before CC? I thought the cast changes occurred after the firing. :shrug:

This time she will be telling EJ she loves him because that is what they plan to do. then the Ejami's will be happy. Then three months later or less she will back to telling Rafe that she loves him. Don't think she will be telling Lucas that, because TomSell has taken him out the picture to be her best friend and confidant to keep the Lumi's happy and hopeful.

I hope Kate really does have a big story coming. It's a crime how little we see of her.

On Sami/EJ, my first thought was either KC is lying or we're about to see a version of ejami that he could love (and if #2 is true, FTR, Corday, your idea of ejami is almost certainly not the version fans of the couple want to see).

I'm looking forward to Eric's return, but I'm a little concerned about the possibility that it's going to lead to a Sweeps story for Nicole. Please, please please integrate the man back into the canvas before he and Nicole start a front burner story.

I really really wish Gabi would die or fade back into the woodwork. This is not the person who should be at the center of an umbrella story.

IDK about the John/Marlena/Kristen thing, but the three of them can coast on chemistry for quite awhile, so maybe it'll be okay.

My reaction to current Y&R ...

Not excited about the EJami stuff, but glad that Eric is coming back and will be involved with Nicole in some way. Get her away from Dr. Taniel

OMG.....finally! The Sami EJ pairing is what I have been waiting YEARS for! I never thought I would hear Ken speak those words. I am beyond estatic!
I am really looking forward to Kristen's interaction with all the Salem characters, I love her!
So much potential, it's nice to be excited about Days again. Here's to hoping that the writers give us beautifully written, character driven soap stories!

This same issue of SOD also had BD saying that Lucas still loves Sami and would do anything to be with her. So more proof that Sami has 3 men in love with her. But it's EJ's turn yet again. Will Lucas get his? Probably not cause he's supposed to be silently in love with her while never getting to be with her which also means he can't get over her so he doesn't get a love life. So Lucas is screwed either way, lol. Oh and now all of a sudden he also can't be a part of WilSon's story involving his own son and his grandchild. This makes me want to watch....not.
They are just turning love stories into a joke with Sami and her 3 men. How can anyone believe that she is inlove with any of these guy and I still cant see what they see in her and I have been looking hard. Hate the way the write her, she is just not likeable to me.

My hope for ericole is that eric helps put nicole back together again. I hope he helps her find her fire and edge again. I think a slow build of romance between the two is going to be awesome. I havent found myself so excited for a potential pairing in forever. And its a win if nicole gets a front burner story that doesnt involve pimping dannifer

"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!
Sigh... I never learn. It sounds good enough for me to put Days back on my DVR. I'm sure I'll regret it, but I used to love the Kristin-John-Marlena dynamic, am looking forward to Ericole, and can't quit Ejami no matter how many times I get shit upon.

For me she really isn't at the center because there's nothing unique or special about her. She's just a womb, could swap her out for another without losing much, imho. Except of course the cheap easy way of bringing Rafe and Sami together through this baby. And who knows, with this crew she may just die giving birth.

If Marlena is going to be un-Marlena I want her to be smart and successful at it. John can be dumb, I don't know that I want her to be.

I think that lock/stock/barrel comment is going to be one of my favorite Corday quotes (right behind "spokes on a wheel"). Because if it doesn't turn out to be some kind of clever, energy-fueled storyline for Ejami, it would suggest that when they put their everything into something it still ain't great. That's kind of awesome.

I dont't think TomSell have any idea how to write romance. Especially slow build ones. This is the first time ever that I have not been interested in any of the couples on this show. I remember there was a time when there was three I was rooting for all at once. And whatever they have planned for Marlena, I am even doubting she will remain routable, because I don't think they know how to do that either. Especially when they are writing triangles. Take the ones we have now.

Oh, I agree that she's not special, but the problem is that womb and baby are a package deal for quite awhile, and I really don't care to see anyone wasting time discussing the occupant of Gabi's womb, or who put it there. It'd be great if she'd have the kid, then disappear, but I'm sure she is going to be right in the middle of it all.

More ejami? Oh brother :huh: They really don't know what to do with Sami do they? Having her growing closer to Ej in a romantic fashion just makes her come off as a complete idiot considering his past treatment of her. It doesn't even matter if Ej is a changed man without manipulations this time. How stagnant for her character to be stuck in this cycle. They really need to change it up with a twist that allows Sami some self-respect. How about taking me by surprise by having her play the player for once. Having Sami in contact with her Uncle Bo and ferreting out Dimera secrets while 'getting closer' to Ej would be all kinds of awesome - especially if the viewers were kept in the dark about it for awhile.

I like Gabi and Nick but not sure about this pregnancy story especially on the heels of Nicole losing her miracle baby. It just doesn't sit right. I suppose it has a lot of potential of pulling in many characters with varying reactions which could make good drama, but I'm still on the fence.

I'm so ready for Eric to show up and Nicole to have ANY story other than the muck we've been wading through with Daniel. This I am all for and have my fingers crossed the chemistry and build up is there.

I'm all for Marlena trying to get the jump on Kristen. John's gullibility seems a stretch though. I'm ready for Kristen to stir up some trouble but make it truly devious please!

I wonder if Kate's story is business related or personal? Just glad she is getting something.

Nothing much on Brady, Rafe or Lucas? What's up with that?

I do notice not a single mention of Brady. However we know they're going with him and Kristen. But still no mention of him. Guess Lucas isn't the sole person left out this time, lol.

I really need this show to find a better balance in spoilers/rumors. The fact that they didn't spoil a single story makes me think nothing is going to happen for a while. I don't need details (I think they give too many of those each week), but I need more than who's working with who.

Do they mean they have written the shows through mid-March or that they have already been taped?

That is so disgusting if they mean taped.
