I don't like how they are making Marlena look like a paranoid whack-a-doodle!
Lysie mentioned she felt they were setting up a gaslighting story, or that that's a story that would fit, and I agree. I thoroughly believe that even TPTB aren't stupid enough to make Kristen Blake a good girl again. Even Eileen hinted that she's playing a bad girl.

Marlena will be right, Kristen IS setting it up, but they'll believe she's crazy before they realize it. When Kristen's plan has gone far enough to hurt people. If they wanna write it in character, John will be the only one to believe her. He always was and has been one Marlena's side, it didn't matter if he found her doing the act, he believed her to be innocent.
I do think they're setting that up. I just don't have faith that they know that's what they're setting up. Technically, if that's what they're doing, they're doing a great job. The dialogue backs it up, the scene translations back it up, and the actors are playing it that way. The only improvement would be to actually let the audience in on it a little more. And that's why I'm not confident that that's what they're doing.

Even if Marlena is just legitimately coming unraveled, I'd be okay with that with writers who'd actually write that as a story. TomSell will claim I be writing that as a story but they'll just end up making Marlena look OTT and Kristen will somehow manage to come out smelling like a rise even if she does something terrible. Because for some reason this regime is incapable of writing both heroes and villains.

I can totally see this being a gaslighting sl. See I just feel that they won't write John in character, or they will write him as they did in 97... and he will look like a heartless douche once again!

Much prefers sweevil, snarky EJ over Father Figure Fucktard Eejiot.

Bo deserved a much better exit than this. Times a billion. :shame: These scenes will have me shedding a tear, I have no doubt.

I can't believe I'm actually looking forward to Safe scenes. There really is a first time for everything.

I loved this:

It feels like have SAFE gotten together and broken up about 3 times in the last few weeks alone. :drunk:

It makes my head hurt when I try to make sense of the inconsistencies, contrived stories/romances, irrelevant conversations/fights, and 50 plot points that have occurred these last 2 months. :headbang:

Don't leave Bo! :'(

Color me shocked, I enjoyed the safe scenes but when Rafe reveals that he thinks she is self absorbed, untrustworthy and throws shit he apparently forgave back in her face, what's not to love? I saw this coming a mile away and was great to see finally. Rafe and Sami just don't fit; It's as simple as that. I loved the Ejami scenes too. I knew EJ wouldn't think Sami is self absorbed because he is too. :laugh: All in all, it was nice to see him try to stop her from committing self-deprecation. I'm tired of her doing that shit.

My love for Kristen grows by the minute. :wub: I LOVE that she is making Marlena crazy! :laugh: Her interactions with EJ are always a treat.

I hate that Bo is leaving so it didn't help that he is leaving this way. I hope he comes back soon but I'm not holding my breath. :shame:

I don't think it's any secret that I'm not a fan of Sami and EJ as a couple. The November sweeps sickened me and I was wondering how I was going to get through attempt number 648,912 of trying to make Sami and EJ a viable romantic couple but after watching today it became very clear that it would be really easy to get through the scenes because they're totally laughable. In order to try and make Sami and EJ work clearly the writers have to write Sami to be beyond stupid - which is exactly how she came off today. And they have to write EJ being even more pathetic than he already is. Seriously a man who has to get help from his sister and I'm sure eventually his father again to win the affections of a woman who gives those affections away easily and frequently to assorted men is the absolute defintion of pathetic.

One think EJ said today irked me ... when he told Sami he hated watching her go back to Rafe over and over and over again ... excuse me, it's you she goes back to over and over again expecting things to be different when it's patently clear they'll never be any different. Sami will be stupid until faced with undeniable proof of yet another one of EJ's lies and manipulations and then she'll go through her patented tirade of 'how could you' all over once again ... sigh. Boring and predictable.

Loved Ciara's scenes today ... she is such a cutie!

Even if you are a fan of Ejami there aren't any signs of a great romance.
Its just Safe angst dressed up as Ejami.

If they are going with Ejami lock stock and two smoking barrels there needs to be a big big unforeseeable twist on the romance side sometime soon.
This stuff isn't going to cut the mustard.

I skipped the EJ/Sami/Rafe stuff. It's the same mess over and over again. Thanks for writing this up.

The more I think about it, they should test EJ and Abigail. It could be some good story there.

So stupid! I can't believe Bo's departure is not even the main focus, it's still EJami/Safe! And I'm tired of Nicole, Daniel and Jennifer. The only good thing about the episode was Rafe and Nicole. But I was happy to see Rafe call out Sambitch. So fucking tired of that fickle cunt! I still prefer Safe to EJami, but at this point I'm all for bringing Carrie back for Rafe (or Racole) and having Lumi wind up together.

That twosie sure got a lot of airtime in today's episode. The show even had to go to the trouble of hiring day players and setting up special scenes just to feature this little scrap of fabric. It's likely to continue like this for the rest of the week. Pretty convoluted stuff. High drama this ain't.

Totally agree with you on the Ejami front BUT Sami has never went after EJ, she's never used him for anything but his dick. At this point anything involving Sami and any man truly just comes down to how horny she is, and how pathetic the man can be. Lucas after all the things she's did to him came back from China and crawled between her legs because she was a total mess and her life was in ruins. Rafe saved her back in the SAFE house because she again had EJ in the sack and was pregnant etc etc etc. So Rafe became the bed boy. Now we have EJ for the trillionth time trying for that coveted spot in Sami's twat. Sorry anything Sami related is basically like watching men in a pie eating competition they all look rediculous end up with pie on there face and clearly the winner needs to eat the most shit. :'(

Brady Pub - Part 5: Hope - Bo ... Bo - What? She wipes her tears. Nothing. I'm going to miss you a lot. Bo - I'll be back before you know it. Nothing is going to keep me from my two beautiful girls. Hope - I know that. They kiss. Bo - I'm outta here. Hope - Bo, I love you. He leaves and she blows him a kiss through the window.
So, is that it? Is that really how Bo Brady leaves Salem forever?
unless Peter returns or TPTB decide to recast Bo, yep.

The scene itself is actually amazing & disturbingly emotional. The window part is really powerful too. Leave it up to Peter & Kristian to turn a dumb exit into something that rips your heart out.

HTS - Part 3: Sami gets a call from EJ who is about 3 steps away from her. I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make things worse. Sami looks at him - Could you please leave me alone. They both hang up. EJ - Of couses. He gets up to leave but Sami chases after him. I just want to ask you, do you think I'm selfish and self-absorbed. EJ - No. I've seen how you are with your children and your family. Sami whines - Rafe wouldn't agree with you. EJ - No. Sami - My family wouldn't either. They think I'm a narcissist. Maybe they don't use that word but that's what they're thinking and I think it sort of fits. I mean I didn't even tell you how sorry I am about your loss last night and I should have. EJ - You did tell me. Even if you didn't I know what's in your heart. I know what a compassionate person you are. Sami - I'm not so sure. EJ - Don't be so hard on yourself. You don't have to change just so you can measure up. I like you precisely because of who you are and maybe one day Rafe will see that or maybe not. Maybe you'll always just fall short of his expectations but if that happens that is his loss.

Holy Shit! I bet Sweeney is writing the dialogue again!

What utter horse shit! Ej is going to have to pull his head out of her ass in order to find his balls. :shame:

are you really surprised?? Sami got an entire episode basically dedicated to her saying goodbye to Caroline & Bo. Abe interrupted it for about a scene. Hell, Hope didn't even get as much airtime saying goodbye as Sami did.
We should've seen Bo packing & Hope trying to keep it together and THEN seen these scenes.

Loved Sonny and Will today. Never thought this show would be the one show to allow to guys to actually show they are in a real relationship. Will and Sonny were hot today! Freddie and Chandler really got into it. So happy. The bench scenes at the end were great as well.

I think Sonny had every right to say what he did. Lucas barged into Sonny's place. Will is an adult and he can do whatever he wants to without needing daddy's approval. If Will was in Lucas's place I might understand Lucas getting a tad uneasy. But even still, Will is an adult. Love seeing Sonny finally get an edge. Great scenes between him and Lucas.
