Sami. She is the one who has been their biggest obstacle because nor does she accept but she also does not love him and no matter what they have her do or say in the future I will still believe she does not. I'm also taking KC comment of "lock, stock and barrel" with a grain of salt It will amount to nothing more than it already has. These characters are constantly in the same holding pattern and I don't see that changing.
People like to talk about how alike Sami and EJ are and I'm wondering if they are, then why doesn't EJ share all of his schemes with Sami. On Wed. show, sound like EJ was planning on murdering Nicole and Daniel, why not share all of this with Sami if they're so alike and he can be his true self with her? She might have offered to help him out. :shrug:
Simple because Sami would not give him a second thought. Remember she only "warms up" to him when he's "changed" from her own mouth. EJ is reflecting Austin obsessed Sami and Sami in the EJ and Sami saga is reflecting Austin. So no matter how close he is to "getting her" he will never have her heart and he knows he doesn't have it otherwise he wouldn't be lying and scheming with Kristen to get her. So like Sami with Austin he will never quite measure up but at least Sami learned you can't make someone love you if they don't but EJ has yet to learn that. He may get his "time" with Sami like Sami did Austin but ultimately her heart will belong to others as it always has, and she will drop him like a hot potato when she finds out his latest transgressions.
Ironically this is true BUT the writiers won't let Sami lose anything, remember in the never ending Sami/Lucas/Carrie/Austin mess Austin/Carrie was the rootable couple by the writers but LUMI hit them out of no where because the fans likes them better leaving Austin/Carrie leaving Salem. Since Sami will be the death of Day's they will never let EJ get over her and she will never be with him even if better pairings for either are right there on canvas. The writers today would rather ruin the show with a pairing that doesn't work instead of capitalizing on ones that do.

QFT! This is also why I said this latest EJAMI turn is no different than the one in 2008. 2010 and 2011. Same shit different year. Honestly there is nothing exciting and there is no element of surprise to any SL .

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepmight actually like that. Except Nicole needs to be free of Sami. It would only work if Rafe was 100% in love with her, didn't want any part of Sami, and Nicole was finally part of a "shooting stars-rainbows-angels singing-it's destiny" couple for once.
Well maybe that could happen since they're suppose to be going lock, stock and barrel with ejami and Sami will have eyes for no one but EJ........yeah.
Sorry didn't dislike because what you said is what they said but just the idea is ludacris, Sami only going after one man :blink:
Well no a days all the men go after her so she doesn't really need to do much.

Loved the cabin scenes, too. Best part of the show. Kristen seemed so vulnerable, so likeable - but then she had me wondering if it were just an act.

Hated EJ being such a jerk to Nicole. Do the writers have to hit us over the head with "Daniel=good", "Rafe=good", "EJ=bad"? I find it hard to believe that EJ - even in his grief - could be so cold and callous towards someone he used to love. It wasn't her fault that their baby died and the woman clearly has some emotional issues.

Rafe seemed almost human today and I'll admit it, I bought his sincere kindness.

I'm not surprised look at how he treated Sami when he found out what she did to him and had her stay away from Johnny knowing how much he loves his mommy. That was so cruel, I don't see how Sami would even want to be in the same room with him after everything.

The Nicole reveal was really confusing today, mainly because some people (mostly Daniel) said one thing and did another, and because other people (everyone else) randomly showed up only to do and say nothing.

-- For most of the episode, Daniel keeps telling Nicole he wants to talk to her in private. She finally says okay let's go, and he suddenly reverses himself and starts dragging it all out in public -- only after she's agreed to a private conversation and only after half of Salem has arrived.

-- Then they all leave and head off in various directions -- Jennifer and Abby head upstairs. Rafe, EJ, and Brady leave at various times. Only Jen returns. She asks Daniel to take this elsewhere (presumably because she at last has decided she doesn't want to be involved) and he agrees.

-- When Daniel notices Nicole has gone; he tells Jennifer to notify Rafe.

-- Then, suddenly, and this is the baffling part -- ALL of them are at HTS. How did that happen? How did EJ and Brady find out? Why did Jennifer (dragging Abby along apparently) decide to follow after she'd basically indicated this wasn't her scene? Strange.

I thought it would be explained in Friday's episode, but it wasn't. Speaking of Friday, another question is why is this all between Nicole and Daniel? Everyone else just stands there in HTS and says NOTHING for half the episode.

I guess I shouldn't be surprised that the end of this awful storyline is just as muddled as the beginning and middle.

It obviously does not matter to EJ whether she loves him or not. The object is to get her and his children under his roof.

I was thinking what are his latest transgressions, that would cause her to drop him. I can't think of anything as bad as he has done to her in the past and it does not seem to matter to her anymore. She has already gone back to kissing him and treating him as if he did nothing wrong.

The only reason it doesn't matter now is because they are toying with EJAMI again but the second they decide to have Sami find out about EJ's and Kristen's scheme all bets are off. Sami is a strange character that way but as of now I agree that while they "grow closer" she will be all tweedle dumb until the PTB becide to lower the boom. As long as he has to manipulate her in some way to "get her" a union btwn them will fail but then the PTB no matter who is at the helm have always written it that way and thats why I have never taken them seriously. Especially with him getting help from Kristen who was not anymore successful with John than EJ has been with Sami over the years.

Loved Rafe today! :wub2: He was so compassionate with Nicole. I'm glad the writers did that. I like their friendship, and I would not be opposed if it turns into something more. If the writers are going with Ejami for awhile, then I would like to see Rafe involved with someone else. I don't want him groveling or being in any part of that mess. Enough of the triangle from hell.

It seems like a decent episode, I think the writers are going with a Rafe\Nicole\Eric triangle.
Sinc this show is in love with triangles who's going to be the third party with Sami and EJ?
Sami. She is the one who has been their biggest obstacle because nor does she accept but she also does not love him and no matter what they have her do or say in the future I will still believe she does not. I'm also taking KC comment of "lock, stock and barrel" with a grain of salt It will amount to nothing more than it already has.

That is way too easy, that goes for any other couple on the show.

Like Nicole, if they were so perfect together why are they not scheming together to take down Jennifer?

The writers are not that creative.

I loved that line about her time with John being the last time in her life that she remembered being happy "before I started to hate...before I stopped being me" and Eileen's delivery of it. Really enjoyed Kristen and John's scenes today.

Wow, maybe I'm :doobie: butI just watched toDAYS and I enjoyed the Hell out of it lol
More than usual anyway although I am running on very little sleep and haven't actually sat down and WATCHED in a while.

First, Camila Banus really sucks. I don't mind Blake Berris as much, and for a minute he made her better but during what little of their romp I paid attention too she seemed awkward. Maybe its just something about her mannerisms or whatever, but she's just not interesting. And I can't get on board with Gabi because she's all "I can be myself with Nick" which might be interesting if we knew anything about her besides that she is Rafe's sister who works at the pub and got it on with her gay ex-boyfriend or if anyone gives a fuck. She's a pretty face, but she's a vortex of suck.

Kate Mansi was a little off too. I liked how she kinda played it the way Christie Clark had Carrie going when she went off on Abby and looked like she wanted to fight her or something lol. Or rather, WOULD have, liked it if it were a different kind of storyline.It seemed a little wrong to me. Plus she was on the shrieky side. Like takig a play out of the Alison Sweeney handbook. She just wasn't really on or she was trying too hard. She needed to reel it in a little. Although considering she's had fuck all else to do, at least she was on?

Nicole is apparently the new Carly Manning, as in she's the pariah, the punchingbag.... I thought Ari was great. It's not easy trying to sell someone a bag of shit and tell them it's a dozen yellow roses. And I also agree with everyone who thinks the Nicole and Eyebrows friendship should stay. AZ and GG seem very natural together as FRIENDS. I think even more so than with Brady although baby-go-round #1 was when I tuned out so perhaps I didn't see the best of them. Eric and his impossibly white teeth are pretty and all but he's such a lump. But I digress...

John and Kristen cabin scenes were AWESOME!!!! And even though close-up you can see how totally cheap the sets are...they did right by the cabin. It's amazing what dimming the lights the right way will do. And the fireplaces!!! The Chez Rouge/DiMansion fireplace!!!!! Haven't seen those since last year! lol Eileen Davidson is just a star. It was so nice to see some good subtle acting.

Taniel and Jennifer and that WTFery-laden ending. OMG!! LOL When Nicole just disappeared and reappeared in the town square It was so fucking horrible it was HILAAAAARIOUS!!!! I hate the storyline and most of who is involved...but I got a good laugh out of it and that's something I haven't done with this show in a while. And if I must see Taniel it's good to see him as a dumbass. Because I already do.

But the HIGHLIGHT...the absolute highlight of the episode, for me, was (weirdly) a scene that involved Slamantha. Not her horrible hair or that horrible sweater thing she was wearing that made her look like the Sami of old lol But that I got to see the Marlena "Bitch, please" face. There's always this underlying "thing" between Marlena and Sami (and/or Dee and Sween maybe) that's just vicious!!!!! lol and "Yes, that conversation." I seriously almost choked on my water. The more Deidre and Eileen scenes...with anyone...the better. (But preferably with each other) And Stefano and Kate some time soon would be excellent. But overall...I didn't feel like it was a total waste of time today.

I think today's episode was the first time I did not FF through any Rafe scene. He was actually tolerable when talking w/ Nicole. Other than that, I wish she would have went off and threw that HIDEOUS monstrosity of a clock in Tan Man's direction. (I swear that thing is so distracting, and it looks like something out of Return to Oz!!!)

Also liked the cabin scenes {John drinking a beer :)} and Hope & Marlena's girl talk. But, can they please get DH in something other than a suit?!?

Speaking of oufits - WTF was AS wearing - something borrowed from Ice T's wife??? Whatever that was, it was waaaaay too tight on the bottom.

The scenes with Nicole were heart-breaking and I am not a Rafe fan but the concern he showed for Nicole was really nice. It was a cruel storyline and I felt bad for Nicole. Ari Zucker acted those scenes extremely well. Kudos to her.
It would serve Sami right if Nicole ended up happily married to Rafe.
I actually think if would serve Sami better to have Rafe and Nicole have a friendship so close that she is not able to understand.
I agree. AZ Is breaking my heart :'( :'( and I love the friendship btwn Rafe and Nicole :wub: Not every male and female relationship needs to turn into romance.
ITA! Racole is my favorite pair of friends in years. :wub: them!

This episode was absolutely heartbreaking! AZ was phenomenal! When she was comparing this miscarriage to the 1st, I cried like a baby. :(

Everyone in that room I hated, except Rafe. EJ did his job being the cold hearted bastard I love, but as an Ejole fan, I did want to see some softness in his eyes. :(

Brady was the worst of all! He was actually there when Nicole lost her 1st baby & you'd think he'd be the 1st to comfort her, but nope. He's supposed to be "better" than EJ & Nicole's "friend" who had this *great* love for her. GMAFB! I saw no compassion from him at all. He was just an unfeeling asshole & I hope Kristen destroys him!

I've always been a Rafe fan & today he did not let me (or Nicole) down! He had no ulterior motives. Nothing in it for him, but to be a friend to Nicole. He doesn't even have kids of his own & yet he was the only one in the room who could show any love or caring for a woman who went thru her second miscarriage. If it's true they want him to be the "new Bo", then this is definitely a step in the right direction.

On a happier note, JOHN & KRISTEN!!!!! Be still my 90's John & Kristen loving heart! I know it's Jarlena forever & always, but I'm thankful for these little cabin scenes. :wub2:
