I dunno..I say keep EJ as villainous...Keep Abby on the fence and struggling...DiMeras should have mistresses and such...not be hanging out in HTS sipping cappucccino or having dinner at the Brady pub. I hope EJ & Abby continue. I'm enjoying the ride so far. And if Sami gets burned, all the better...
Well,they have certainly pulled you back in even if on a limited basis.Look forward to reading your unique take on what's on screen.
Oh, I have been watching right along...But there's only so many times you can post "Wow, Daniel really sucks and needs a fuckin' haircut" lol Plus, work nd time have been a factor, though I stll do my lurking around the board :-)
Thanks for again making time to post.I am still laughing.

Ejabby CAN be pulled off if theyre drawing enough attention...And by the looks of it, they are doing the job! Ejabby is all the rage! KM likes it and from what I gather from the few interviews with JS, he likes it too. The only one that is in the background SWEARING there is no danger of Ejami ending is AS. But she would say anything to keep your mind on the couple she is involved in.

I agree with the ones that say Ej has developed feelings for Abby. There is no way around it, you can tell. How he tries to calm her and speaks kind to her. Hell if it was Sami he would be threatening to kill to shut her up,like he did when they cheated on Rafe and Nicole, not lay her down and making sweet love to her...Yes, as Ej said himself, MAKE LOVE...Yeah boy! Hes in deep on this one! (No pun intended) Ha!

What I also find more believable that Ej would fall for a woman like Abby is because she's actually educated. She'd lived in Europe. Sami hasn't even left Salem. She is not worldly. She barely graduated High School. And the plus factor is Abby is way more mature than Bull in a China Shop Sami.

I don't get the age difference jokes. I dont really see that much of age difference between EJ and Abby. Id say its safe to say Abby is around 25, EJ maybe as young as 30. Ive always thought EJ looked way younger than the whole Sami/Lucas/ RAfe set although JS has aged in the last few years. Its not like Abby is dating or having sex with her father's friend or her middle aged teacher. And EJ has little kids, not teenagers. I think these two pretty actors have chemistry and can pull off a great love story.
Half the reason for the age difference jokes is that they're funny. And it's fun to take the piss out of this show because it's a freakin' soap opera. So yeah, if I find something to make fun of, I'm going to do it. It entertains me and makes watching Days, which can often be ridiculous, a lot more fun.

As to Ejabby specifically... Looks-wise, they look about 15 years apart IMO. Size-wise, she's so teeny and he's so huge that when they're in bed together, she looks like a kid. Personality-wise, EJ acts like an old curmudgeon most of the time and Abby acts like a 22-year-old. Put it all together and there's plenty of reason to snark about #TeamAwkward. Plus, the show keeps doing dumb shit that draws attention to the age difference, so they deserve people making fun of them for it.

Ej wasn't targeting Abby though, Ej was helping his brother who had this great idea to lie to his girlfriend. It's on Chad, not EJ...
The same line of thinking will come in handy when she finds out about Nick. "But mom EJ wasn't the one who tried to kill him, he just helped Sami cover it up."
I don't see why Jen cares, she was there, dating a bad boy while her family tried to tell her...I think it's a pattern and Chad didn't lie to Abby, he lied to the other guy who was so important to me that I can't remember his name.

The fact is EJ didn't killed Nick, and was ticked off that it happen. He covered it up, yes, but for selfless motives.

EJ...selfless, not two words that I thought I would use together....
I don't see why Jen would get so worked up about Chad's lie, but there she was making a scene about it in the Dimera mansion last week.

I can also see why there are so many different versions of EJ. How else can the writers please the group who wants him to be a sweevil bastard, who's Everett like,and a villain, but grey, and part of a redemptive love story.

I dont really know but I think Jenn thinks Abby has slept with Chad again recently.. She said something about "3rd time isnt the charm" to Ej. I cant figure what the hell that is suppose to mean? Its JMO but I think someones line got crossed somewhere... Im like you I cant believe Jenn went to the DiMera mansion and yelled at Ej, LOL! Hilarious.

Jennifer was saying Chad wasn't going to hurt pure as the driven snow Abby a third time.

#1 was the Nabi wedding that he interrupted which DEVASTATED Abby and caused Chad to be the town pariah
#2 was the lie he told Cameron which clearly FORCED Abby to have sex with him and thus ruined her life

Ej doesn't have to clean up Abby's messes like he does
with Sami. I think that is why Sami is with him. Ej has clout and can
fix anything or make it go away.

Abby is young and beautiful and intelligent. Why wouldn't he
fall for her again? And Abby looks beautiful next to Ej. My dad was ten
years older then my mom, so why again does age matter? I am ten years
younger then my husband,

So to me their age difference doesn't bother me.

Maybe Jen's referring to the fact that Chad dated Abby then they broke up so he could date Melanie and she could chase Austin,then they got together a second time as soon as Chad "dog in the manger" DiMera saw her getting close to Cameron.If Chad came back it would be the third time.I can't believe that Abby would look at Chad after cabinsex with EJ.How often did she flashback to Chadsex? I didn't watch original sex and don't recall any Abby flashbacks even though Chad was her first.Abby cannot stop thinking about EJ.

By all means joke about it. I just don't see whats so funny about their age difference. As I stated in another post I don't see Abby as some naive girl. I find her very mature. If we're going by looks alone the show should have kept Ejole. At least they are the same height. :D
I just can't help but NOT see Sami in Ej's league. She's like some girl out of a trailer park dressing in nice clothes, pretending to be sophisticated.
Sure this may not be a direction some wanted to see EJ go in. But for the first time I actually see people who were sick of EJ interested in him.

Yeah, that's what happens every single time every single character ends up with a new partner. And on the flip side, it annoys some of the people who liked the character with the original partner and some other people who were hoping to see the character get taken in a different direction.

I am one of these people. I didn't give a toss about EJ prior to Ejabby. Now, it's like, James Scott, where have you been all my life?

I've always wanted to like the character of EJ, suave, debonair, badboy, who looks amazing in a suit. Reminded me of my all time favorite character on Days. And at one time, I did like him and Sami. But that wasn't enough to keep me watching, and if Lucas is there, my heart will always be rooting for a Lumi reunion. So this has me intrigued. Hoping for some good soapy angst, and that they slow down the relationship with EJ and Abby. I want EJ to want to deserve Abigail and for her to see a spark of something good in EJ.

Edited to add. And that accent.. :cloud9:

I would say that the fans are always so surprisingly spot on. They can expect that this isn't something that's going to fade quickly. This is something that's really shaken things up for the both of them. Abigail goes places that she never thought possible with EJ in very many ways.

*SQUEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE*

EJABBY is happening people....

BRING! IT! ON!
Wow Mitch, I'm trying to remember if I've ever heard you squee before. LOLOL.

Jan 16 2014, 05:46 AM
I donīt think Ejabby is a copy of Ejami I think itīs nice with a fresh start without the bagage that Ejami has, but I also find intriguing with EJ seeing a younger woman and having hot sex with her. The age difference makes it different to me I havenīt really know to much what 50 shades of grey is all about Iīm not interest in bondage, but Iīm interest in a hot affair that has a lot of passion and sex, and they characters struggling to resist the passion. That itīs a secret affair also makes it different and interesting. I do think itīs a shame that it comes at the expense of Ejami but I donīt have the energy to be angry about Ejami anymore. I also saw this coming so I wasnīt suprise but had time to prepair for it, and since I really like EJabby they are hot together I choose to focus on the good side of this storyline. I also donīt think Ejabby gonna have fights and then sex like Ejami maybe once but I donīt see them continue that route.
There's no fresh start with Ejabby. Ej has children and is directly tied to the murder of her cousin that Abby has been so shamed into forgetting about. Not to mention, it's going to come out somehow that Ej only slept with her to shut her up but started to develop feeeeeellings for her.
I think it fresh start because ej done nothing to Abby and her direct family unlike sami Nicole arianna and Taylor
If ej can not pair with Abby he have kids she should have not pair with Sami because when he first met Sami she had kid
He also blew up her cousin Stephanie's race car and then later kidnapped her and locked her in a morgue drawer. He helped to brainwash and control her uncle Steve through a masterful use of tarot cards, ultimately having him committed to an asylum. These are things done to her direct family. These are things Abby should remember if she can't remember the numerous things he's done to the rest of Salem.
I don't understand why Abby is supposed to be completely repulsed by all the things the Ej did but Sami is not. Those things were all done to Sami's family too so wouldn't that mean there was never a chance of a fresh start with Ejami either.

For me this story has the potential for a great story if done correctly not just a sex story but one that could be a true love story like they used to do. The bad boy and good girl, the one from the wrong side of the tracks. Someone compared them to J and J and even though it is not the same story it has the same underlying thread. I think Ej has shown that he can be a good guy if he lets go of his family and his past demons- no i don't want him to have a halo over him- and so did Jack but neither of them believed that they could be good people.

Only time will tell if they are going somewhere with Ejabby but for right now I will watch and go along for the ride.

Speaking of which.. when will the rating for last week be published?
Most likely Friday.
What I'd love to see (I wonder if Jason has access to this???) is the highest ratings of EJami episodes versus EJabby sex week???
