Some genius he is! Since this show is refocusing on religion somewhat, aren't young, unmarried pregnant girls supposed to be shipped off to a convent? If Will had to propose for the sake of traditionalism, the show might as well continue to play up the outdated modes of thinking. |

Y'all probably have already heard this--but I was looking through the new SOD and there is a tiny spoiler about this Chad/Ej and Gabi mess. It says EJ and Chad have a heated arguement over Chad's obession with exacting revenge on Gabi....???? That comes within a hair of saying EJ will do the right thing??? Can that be possible?? It will be interesting to find out what the real story is here. |

Its probably fake concern over Gabi so he looks good in Sami's eyes. I wouldn't be surprised if she's there or overhears the argument and EJ realizes she is listening. Doing the right thing for the sake of doing the right thing? Never gonna happen, especially since that's part of his scheming menacing plot with Kristen to "grow closer" no doubt to Sami. So he's only looking out for his own selfish wants and needs as always. He already proved Gabi was expendable to him when he threatened to have her thrown in jail, unless Rafe gave Samanther up to him. Edited by Helpless Romantic, Nov 21 2012, 09:04 PM.

I am hoping Sami and Lucas present a united front against ej. I would love to see the two of them team together to bring him down. To make it even more "soapy," they could have Sami have nightmares about all the evil things ej has done to her and her family members. That would set the stage for her to want to bring him down even more. Posted Image |

Kinda pointless to fake concern when the person to be fake around isn't there and Chad isn't instrumental to said "scheme." Since I haven't read the article nor seen the scenes, I cannot assume that she is there or that she isn't, though it's noted that there no mention of Sami around when EJ and Chad have this discussion in spoilers. Either way, I'll have to see how it plays out before I make a judgment call. |

I'm just stating my opinion based on EJ's past behaviour. NOWHERE did I say what will happen is fact but EJ being ready to throw Gabi in jail happened very recently unless "Rafe gave her up". Same for why he didn't pursue anything legally against Rafe or Daniel over the baby drama- to impress Sami. Whether she overhears their argument or not is irrelevant but the fact remains his "acting good" is to get in her pants and not because he doesn't want revenge or isn't cooking up schemes of payback. I was just stating a predictable scenario of how things could go down is all. This show is nothing if not predictable. Also I don't think what I said is a stretch because EJ is her boss now and last time I checked he still lived across the hall from her so its very easy for Sami to be around and hear things. Afterall she was there when Gabi got her pregnancy news. Edited by Helpless Romantic, Nov 21 2012, 10:14 PM.

I'm not a fan of twilight but as obsessed with Bella as Edward was from what I understand he never hurt Bella or her father. He didn't even really hurt Jacob. All this sounds like some psycho's version of love yo make him feel like he's nomal. Only its not about him. It's not about EJ! If he truly loved Sami it wouldn't be about how she makes him feel but how she feels. And he doesn't make her truly happy. Even joyful. You can say he makes her laugh and smile (which he doesn't really do) but EJ doesn't give Sami joy. And the fact that he doesn't care shows he doesn't love her. It's all about him. There is no thin line between obsession and love. There is a cliff void of any real goodnes between the two. Much like rape obsession is about controlling someone. It's selfish while love is selfless. It brings out the worse when love makes people better. Ej's obsession is exactly what women in the 21 century should be reinforcing as unexceptable. It's not only threatening but it's demeaning. After decades of telling women to take pride in yourself, you are worth it... To then tell women there is a version of love that is abusive, that makes you less important than the man and his feelings is unacceptable. There is no version of love that is abusive. If he want to control your very existance, he does not love you. He he is willing to hurt you and/or your love ones to prove something to himself, he does not love you. If he feels misery is what you must have without him, he does not love you. EJ does not love Sami. Edited by Aliaron, Nov 21 2012, 10:11 PM.

^^^ I totally agree, he has never loved her IMO, he still doesn't. She's an object/trophy to win from another man. I have seen EJ love a woman the right way and it was Nicole. This thing he has with Sami is the furthest thing from it. |

I'm not trying to stop you from liking what you want. It's one thing to like something. It's another thing for the show to promote it as acceptable. I liked Spike and Buffy. But never did I believe it was love. It wasn't. Buffy used spike. And the show made that clear. Buffy knew what love was and she knew she didn't love spike. It's nothing wrong with liking fucked up things. It's wrong when a show says that fucked up thing is acceptable. This show refuses to do the right thing and treat his feeling like the insanity that it is. Even Rhett Butler left Scarlett when he got tired of being unhappy. They should show strong characters especially women that respect themselves. When they have weak women, it should be pointed out as a character flaw to fix. When a guy is obsessive, much like they show how homophobia is bad, obsession should be given the same treatment. Not hailed as an acceptable form of love. Edited by Aliaron, Nov 21 2012, 10:27 PM.

^^ The way he loved Nicole made her realize that it is always about "Sami, Sami, Sami". I don't think Nicole would agree that EJ loved her the right way. |

Personally, I don't think that E.J. is capable of loving anyone except for himself (even his children, whom he has used as pawns whenever it was convenient for him to do so, without giving it a second thought or feeling the least bit guilty about it). But I hate E.J., so I'm biased. If people want to believe that he truly loves Sami (or Nicole), more power to them, I guess. Fifty Shades of Grey isn't exactly an uplifting, positive tale of female empowerment either, and we all know how popular that series is. |

On the other token for Sami its always been about Lucas and Rafe over EJ. But atleast he fell in love with her as much as he can love anyone and she loved him back warts and all. Sami on the other hand not so much. Sami got over her Austin obsession and the first round with Brami I equate to EJOLE because she went back to wanting Austin but when that fell through it was back to Brandon/ Lucas. Same with EJ, he will eventually want her back after Sami dumps him again because he will NEVER measure up for her, not that I think at this point that he deserves Nicole either. He has treated both terribly but especially Sami and I can't reconcile how stupid they have to write her so he weilds all the power. Nicole was always shown more as his equal though. I don't like how weak they made her either eventually but she stood her ground more than Sami ever has with Elvis. With Eric in the picture though it may be too little too late after Sami runs back to Rafe eventually. If he has to force it it will backfire and that is not love which he himself called an obsession. Edited by Helpless Romantic, Nov 21 2012, 11:05 PM.

I actually felt like last go round Ej really did love Nicole. He sure wasn't all about Sami until Nicole dumped him and even then his obsession didn't really hit in till TomSell took over and decided that it would be just amazing to use him as Safe angst for the millionth time. :sarcasm: |

^^ I don't think we'll ever agree about EJ/Sami/Nicole, but no matter how we think the story will play out, we're all basically at the mercy of the writers and we'll just have to wait and see what they have in store for us. I think I know where they're going with the story, but if I'm wrong, so be it. EA: I haven't really seen EJ do anything this time around that makes me think "obsession" in relation to Sami. (I think it was pretty obvious he was calling Kristen out on HER obsession when he made that remark.) He did that one little blackmail scheme, but that's nothing compared to his past behaviors. The other so called schemes have kind of fallen in his lap and of course he's going to take advantage of any opportunity that presents itself. Edited by gailwinters, Nov 22 2012, 12:25 AM.

I just want Sami./EJ./Rafe /Sami/ lucas/ Nicole do something interesting, together or a part. I just want all the Sami panty chasing stuff to stop and for their stories to be longer and more meaningful. |
