Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
She was an executive at Titan at around twenty. And wasn't the company she, Austin and Nicole ran international?
They weren't cosmetics and she wasn't CEO. I know this argument can be made about others on the show but Sami as international cosmetics CEO bugs me bigtime. For me it smacks of self-proclaimed amazing multitasker Ali Sweeney and I wouldn't be surprised if she insisted Sami be a corporate executive. It just doesn't work for me and it won't ever unless they write it in rather than mention it infrequently.
I see what you're saying, about Sam not working up the ranks in that particular industry, but since, as you said, a lot of people on the show have started at the top instead of the bottom, and since Sami was already a corporate executive in the past, I don't see it as a major issue. At least not any more major than it would be for everybody else.
Many others have, it's true, andt I can buy into it. But Sami doesn't carry herself like a CEO let alone of a cosmetics company. She's doesn't even look the part. And she presents as an immature, whispery/shouty little girl, impossible to imagine in a boardroom or sitting down with Anna Wintour. I like when work is incorporated on a soap -- I can't wait for Lucas to go back to work -- but to me this plum job of Sami's is a fail even though she's in bed with the owner of the company.

Didn't Madison hire her because they had known each other when they were younger? So she started at Mad World when she was still with Rafe, infiltrated Countess W on Madison's behest and then stayed at Countess W which Stefano then took from Kate because she screwed Ian. Definitely a bit of nepotism plays in it, but at least she has been doing it for the last 2 years, except for her jail time. I think that was longer than it took Lexie to go from cop to doc.

Is Abigail less popular right now than Melanie used to be? If the answer to this question is a clear yes, writers - it's time to reevaluate and retool the character. There is no reason why a young, pretty, vibrant, smart legacy character should suck so much. All the pieces are there to make her work.
I would say no. Abby is no where near as annoying as Melanie...but I feel like part of Melanie is being manifested in Abby, now that the red bitch is no longer on our screens (thank the lord). Abby is definitely annoying right now and has been for a long time...but she is still not at Melanie levels...at least not to me.

There is absolutely no contest in the looks department however....Mansi SCHOOLS Burnett in every single aspect in that respect.

Ugh, I'm gonna lose my lunch. WHY do Nicole & Daniel have to kiss? Please tell me something good is gonna come out of this.
How can anything good come out of Danicole? :frustration: :facepalm: Nicole needs to be alone for awhile. Not rebounding with
that scruffy sleaze.
Something good would come out of it if they realize it's a mistake and it never happens again. Hopefully it would also make Nicole move out of Daniel's apartment.
Something good would also come out of it if she met a wonderful, hot dentist treating her for the mouth sores.

Can all Salemites please stop being surprised when characters like Victor and EJ do something bad?
Especially when you are romantically involved with them. Sami and Maggie...I am looking at you.

And T again!!!! I love that he is an equal opportunity flirter with every female under 40 in Salem.
Can he expand his horizons and flirt with Marlena, Hope and maybe Julie as well? I feel like he can pull it off. That he just flirts. I actually like the guy from what I see. In a "Don't-really-care-but-I-don't-mind-either" way.
I would love to see him flirt with Marlena, Hope, & Julie, it would be reminiscent of Dr.Chip and Julie...Yeah he flirts, but these ladies are way out of his league, and none of them would having any problem putting his back in the playpen, where he belongs.

Chad made me like her, but then he left. I know I should give up too, and I probably will soon.
