Well, this will surprise no one, but I couldn't even make it through this episode. I'm kind of pissed that they waited so long to have Eric face Nicole, because the momentum was already gone which led to the whole thing just being a big dull bore. I already find Gabi/Sonny/Will insufferable, so that certainly wasn't keeping me tuned in, and Abby/Jordan have nothing to pull me in either. Brady is just ridiculous and I want him to stop whining. And I'm frustrated with the Ejami stuff because it's not going to lead to anything, and while I was initially all for that, at this point it's just plain stupid that it's not going to cause more of a riff than it is. LOL. And now the next episode I'm going to watch has Patsy Pease in it. Sigh. It was a nice three days of Days viewing. Not a Patsy fan, LOL?
I have to kind of agree with you about the Eric/Nicole scenes. I'm not sure what it was, but I felt a kind of a lack of a connection btw them. I was happy when she finally got around to attacking him, but up to that point I wasn't really feeling it. I know it's subjective.

Oh, and Maggie/Daniel. You know, I know the history. But I also know that Maggie hasn't even shared eye contact with Marlena in, like, at least four years. So referring to Marlena and Eric as "my people" just doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. I mean, if she means so much to you, why don't you stop crying on her behalf all over town, and go see her. It just seems silly because it's not going to amount to anything.

There is no spark there. It's more like friends being upset at each other. Neither actor plays it with a hint of desire or longing. And I don't know if the chemistry is there for it. At this point I'm more invested in Eric getting his dignity back and remaining a priest. And for them to remain good friends. Sorry but the connection is just not there romantically.

Sorry but the connection is just not there romantically. Oh, I think they both play it with a desire and attraction, and I totally see a spark. I think they have more chemistry than any current couple or even possible couple on the show now and probably more than any couple in the last 15 years. Today just wasn't what I wanted, and I wish it would have happened Monday when the reveal was a little more raw.

I think they have emotional chemistry, but I haven't seen sexual chemistry. Maybe if GV didn't play it like the thought of a woman desiring him was terrifying. Eric seems completely disinterested in women, period.

Eric seems completely disinterested in women, period. Yeah...he's playing a priest, so that's pretty appropriate. They've had sexual chemistry at times that have allowed for it, though. If they'd had anything more, the story would be as awful as everyone else's story, so hopefully they'll manage to avoid that.

Sorry but the connection is just not there romantically. I pretty much agree. Maybe it's a lack if sexual chemistry. They never touch, or almost touch. They don't move in a way that shows a physical longing to touch. I wanted Eric to just simply reach to touch her arm, or anything. But they stood there wooden and it felt like you could drive a truck between them. The actors are great, and I felt their individual pain but it wasn't romantic or that kind of couple angst that makes me want to see them get together physically. Like I said, it's subjective and you either feel it or you don't. The only time I felt anything was when she went after him, and it made me happy.
Edited to add: I think what threw me was the initial meeting btw them. I wanted it to be more explosive, and it wasn't. She was all soft and complacent. I got kind of mad, thinking she wasn't going to confront him.

GV is playing a priest. He's not suppose to be touching Nicole or acting like he desires her. On GH, he had tons of sexual chemistry with Kmo

It's not interesting or appealing as a viewer.

I don't think Eric is asexual at all. He's just not overtly sexual, which makes complete sense given his profession. He and Nicole have had minor, fleeting moments of sexual chemistry... he holds her hand a beat more than he should, their eyes connect for a little longer than they need to, etc. These moments are minor and fleeting, which is EXACTLY how they should be. Not only does it makes sense since he's a priest, but it also creates genuine anticipation on the part of the viewers - something soaps rarely do nowadays.

If they'd already had sex by now, they'd be like every other boring couple in Salem. Instead, they're not even a couple yet and there's a constant thread of will it happen or won't it happen. It's a tease. If Eric were any different, it wouldn't make any sense and there wouldn't be any angst for them to play.

Then I have to ask, what's the point? The point is Ericole is not at that stage yet. The point is building a long-term story arc. The point is love stories are even better when they take time to tell them.

If Eric were any different, it wouldn't make any sense and there wouldn't be any angst for them to play. It's a long way from them jumping into bed than my wanting to feel that chemistry. I did not expect or want to see them get physical on Friday's show. Not at all. But it would have created a moment if he had even started to reach to touch her forearm or shoulder, and didn't even touch her. She could have flinched if he had, and it wouldn't have been any kind if sexual touch, even just an attempt to reach out to her. It wouldn't even be conscious on his part. I guess I was waiting for that kind of magical moment and I didn't get it. Maybe it will happen, I don't know. :shrug:

I know they aren't there yet, and I know they won't be any kind of couple for a long time (if they do it right) but there should still be that understated sexual chemistry. And understated chemistry does not mean anything close to kissing even. It's sparks. It's something you can see between a couple when they are across the room from each other, and when they are standing across from each other it becomes electric.

If you keep trying to jump ahead, you'll never see it. And that's fine. I sure didn't see anything with Bristen. That's all beside the point. On this particular day this conversation started because I didn't like their scenes Friday, and my dislike of their scenes had nothing to do with any chemistry issues.

But yeah, I see something that goes beyond just platonic friendship at moments. But even if I didn't, I'd still like the story. Because I'd know that these people care about each other and it could perhaps develop into something more in the future.

I am SHOCKED that Sami didn't throw EJ under the bus to Eric, but instead of protecting EJ, I think she didn't say anything to Eric to protect Eric from having any more weight about the matter dragging him down
I think you can say that she doesn't want to pile on more problems for Eric to think about. But I also think she knows if she tells her family what EJ knew, she'd get TONS of pressure to dump him.
and I also think it just builds yet another layer on what will ultimately be the end of this arc when she finds out that he knew the entire truth...about the drugging and didn't tell her. Look what's about to happen to Eric...it's not like this nightmare for him is over and with BSC Kristen gone there is no way to prove the allegations he's making. But Ej KNOWS, so yeah..it seems the show is building up to a probably Ejami wedding with this truth hanging over their heads.......it would truly be great if we see Eric being humiliated in town, the paper prints articles about him over and over again for months, we know he gets suspended, and it would be awesome if he's still suspended and people are still talking about him right up until the time that Sami and Ej's wedding.
Yeah, I definitely agree they are building to a big confrontation with EJ digging the hole deeper, but I'm still not buying it's going to be a months-long, wedding-interrupting kind of deal. EJ is definitely being a douche and a liar, but it wasn't actually his evil deed. They usually reserve the wedding reveals for something bigger. I'm thinking more along the lines of a month-long story with a big blowout before the holidays, followed by an estrangement for awhile. On a related note, do we have any idea how long Eric is out of the collar? I'd have to go back and check tweetpics because I don't remember.
I think JSīs answers in the latest interviews would be strange if Ejami doesnīt work through this. He has been saying - I would like to believe they are strong enough to get through this, and any other person would have walked away but Sami likes that EJ has a bad side. If Ejami wouldnīt work through this I would think he would have said that he couldnīt give anything away because it would spoil the storyline like KM did in her interview, but it feels like he has given away that they get through this. He also talked about big big things are happening and that Ejami deserves a wedding it sounds more like a wedding with a happy ending than a disasterous one. Big big thing sounds definetly more than just a big fight they already have those.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
The Pub is an option. He's still mad at Marlena.
Does he not know that Marlena had no idea he was on that video? Surely Eric can understand she never would have done that if she had known. And now that he knows as personally as SHE knows how vicious Kristen is, he can understand why she wanted Brady away from Kristen. If he's mad at her still, I do not understand him AT ALL. :shrug:
I think son Eric knows his mother was unaware that he was on the video and she would never have shown it had she known. However, Father Eric said he was disgusted with her for playing any filthy sex video in the house of God. By Marlena choosing to out Kristen in his church while he was officiating as a priest, Father Eric believes she has not only desecrated the sanctuary but disregarded his own religious role there. That's my take anyway. Father Eric himself also played that filthy sex video again in the house of God, as soon as Marlena left. Even the so called Priest they turn into a hypocrite.
