We see the office set on Monday, too. I guess Abby could have dropped all the kids off there, but that would raise the question of where they were while Johnny was helping out.

Who owns the Horton house, now? Jennifer hasn't ever hated EJ as far as I recall, (even if she should) so she probably wouldn't really care that he was at her house.
The election...lol. They're not friendly and EJ was just threatening revenge.

I think the office would have made sense. Abby could have had to leave and just drop the kids off and Johnny just gave his opinion then. Whatever. It's better than living room therapy.
LOL, I forgot the election story happened. I know EJ was just threatening revenge, but he was just at her place for the Nicole reveal and she didn't mind at all.

I still disagree about the office; they couldn't exactly work late while the kids were what - sleeping on the conference room table?
Well that part would obviously need to be amended but I don't think it would have been difficult. Minor dialogue tweeks

Just like EJ and Stefano sipping some chowder in the Brady Pub. It's par for the course with Days. At least tptb came up with a half ass reason here. Abby was babysitting the kids at the Horton house, her computer crashed while writing a paper (been there, it's sucks like no other) and she had to go to school to get that handled. EJ and Sami decide to take their work at the Hortons because the kids are already there. Reason made.
not really there no reason anyone of the horton will let ej work there
While that's an issue too, the main issue for me is how contrived it is that they'd be working in anyone's house anyway. It's just silly. We just saw the office sets so it shouldn't have been an issue. At least the doctors aren't doing random procedures in HTS yet.
I'm pretty sure we will see a Doctor doing a procedure at HTS soon. It will probably be Daniel doing surgery on Jen. Daniel will be sitting drinking coffee and Jen will walk by, grabbing her side in pain, Daniel will examine her and say she needs her Gallbladder removed ASAP and say there is no time to go to the Hospital. He will procede to operate on her on a table at HTS with a X-acto knife, borrowed from a arts and craft store in HTS, removing her Gallbladder and saving her life again. I'm sure this will happen, because you know he is the best Doctor ever and she is a Saint, and the writers need to drill into our heads that they are the Best couple ever.

Since EJ and Sami are going to be busy working and can't watch the kids and have to use babysitters, I wish that EJ would hire a Nanny to watch them. He could hire some pretty woman and set her up in her own apartment so the kids wouldn't be shuffled around so much. Then the Nanny could meet Lucas and he could finally have a possible relationship with someone other than Sami. I don't mind Sami and Lucas together, I just hate seeing the writers do nothing with the Lucas character. At least it would be a way to bring in a possible female love interest for Lucas. I just feel Bryan Dattilo's talent and time are being wasted by having nothing to do on the show.

Of course, the one pairing that isn't instamance is the one all fans hate: Dannifer
You could say Dannifer went through their insta phase last year when T&W+DH put them together the first time. Now they're half-spoiled, reheated leftovers--and no more appealing now than they were then.
Um, yeah, I think first run Dannifer was as insta as it gets. It's insta now too. He was all about Nicole and then suddenly, nope, he's still in love with Jennifer. She was, based on the two scenes we got, all happy and in love with Jack with the "we're so lucky" comments right and left. But now she loves Dan. Dannifer is a poster child for insta. Just because they're dragging this stupid hand temor thing out and trying to sqeeze some angst out of it doesn't make them any lest insta.

Lovey-dovey EJ/ole wanted to rule the whole of Salem. I have no idea what EJ and Sami are trying to do.
We know that EJ is up to something in terms of ruining Rafe. We also know Sami is just using EJ because she isn't sure how Rafe feels about her or something stupid. The most important thung to know is that the writers are just using EJami to gain viewers during Sweeps, only to cut them loose after Sweeps are over. :wave:
Sweeps were over 11/22/12.
Actually that's the first time during a sweeps period, they have not pulled out EJami card? If I am not wrong?
Proof that fans do not care about EJami, or Sami and her men in general.

Or Abby could have given advice, or Allie or Sydney. Would've made more sense, and EJabby interaction.

More likely, we will see Krady making love in the HTS so the few people who have not yet walked in on them will have a chance to witness their "close moment". :rolleyes:

:shrug:
Not really! I want good conversation between characters and I'm sorry I just do not get that from Ejami and never have. Ejami has not even talked about his misdeeds, her misdeeds.... I quess that will come later after they do the nasty. While this great couple is basking in the afterglow of oh so great chem filled sex Sami can explain why she shot him in the head and left him to die and he can explain why he had someone to rape her for months! Soap or no soap thats not a rootable couple for me... :puke:

I guess we are supposed to remember the few giggles, the handshake,sharing a bottle of wine, and an agreement that it wouldn't happen again. Of course, that was all right before Ej blackmailed Rafe to give up Sami to him and his manipulations with Kristen now to get Sami. That kind of stuff crosses them off my "rootable couple" list for sure.

I feel pretty certain people find couples 'rootable' for different reasons. For me, personally - it comes down to chemistry. Which actors spark the most on screen. And despite the absolute crappy writing they've gotten over the years James Scott and Alison Sweeney still have that heads and shoulders over every other pair - hands down. I'd much rather see them sharing scenes together than any other screen partner either of them have worked with.

I guess it depends on what each person considers couple chemistry. Obviously, we will have to agree to disagree on that.

I think James and Ali stopped having chemistry years ago and I don't find either character rootable in any pairing, but all you have to do is look at this thread compared to other recent daily threads to see why they keep going there and even though it's a lot of negative, it's still more discussion than an episode has gotten in weeks. At least this time the back and forth isn't all about them. Maybe with the addition of Eric there will finally be something new to talk about.

Gone, But Not Forgotten!

Couple chemistry is important and IA that everyone has a different vision of what "chemistry' is. I love DAYS couples, when they make a valiant run at create them. Over the years, I have enjoyed Lumi, Ejami and Safe and just like other pairings on the show, each time for different reasons. They've all had their ups and downs, lows and highs. For me, I think SL & writing has been key and that can either make it or break it. We all have our favs or preference of those who we think work better togther, other than when paired with someone else.

But lately, I am really put off by all the triangle SL stuff DAYS have been showing us over the last couple of years. Almost everyone has been in a triangle...and frankly it has become boring and redundant to watch. There are many other ways to create agnst and drama in life than always having ppl together and having someone wanting them at the same time. or characters that are with someone, when they want to be with someone else.

Everything MARDAR was triangles with different angles. STATE -Ian, CAFE- Austin. Dan/Jen/Jack. Chad/Abi/Mel/-Gabi as a quad. Safe- with Lumi on the side. etc.

No one was ever 'happy' and now there are almost no couples together on the whole freaking show. John & Mar and Magic. Everyone else is in a state of singleness. WTF is wrong with that picture? I do have to add that Wilson are together, but they really haven't had period of any happiness and Gabi and Nick was insta and I like them together... but really have zero impact as a destined pairing... BB is only on a short contract.

This has been my point for a while now. They have no reason to change things up, and I think they'll continue doing a rotation like they've been doing with bones here and there either until we shut up or the show is cancelled. We like to whine and complain and we happily accept any and all bones, so there's really no reason to do a good story, lol.

It's got to be this as most if not all of these characters/pairings have gotten crappy writing for a long time.

Personally, as badly as Ejami have treated each other, Ejole is almost as bad, with EJ choking/tracking then falling in love with Nikki's sister/ inadvertently killing her mother. Safe seemed to have better writing, but then Rafe fell in love with Sami's sister. A definite "no no" on my "rootable couple" list. Course, Sami slept with EJ while married to Rafe, which didnt go over well either.

Then there's the crazy Lumi history, many up n downs, culminating most recently in Sami choosing EJ again over Lucas to go on the run after the Daysaster.

None of these characters pairings have gotten "rootable" writing, if you ask me, at least not like the olden Days, so your only choice is to go with which ones you like best together.

No no. The other choice is to hate all of them. It's a good time to start, too, because the other stories that are on are actually decent for the most part and all of these characters are background noise. It's a good time to not have a dog in the Sami's hoo ha fight.
