What really threw me was EJ grabbing her hand and bring her close to him lessening the distance between them that set it up for the kiss. Why would he do that when he's trying to convince her that it's an infatuation and when she admitted that she still wanted him. He did that on purporse. |

LOL! I think the answer is infactuation! Not on her part, on his! Not with her, but with the ideal of her, a woman who's totally hot for him. 'I can still feel you, I can still smell your skin.' Any man that wouldn't get turned on by that has been castrated. He wanted her as much as she wanted him...why smith island? Did you ask yourself that, why that particular place? They could have met somewhere else privately. I just don't think EJ can even admit it to himself, yet! Oh, and I figured out why I like him so much in these scenes, it's because I'm not watching EJ DiMera. I'm watching EJ Wells, instead of Devilishy Evil though sexy, we're getting Dastardly Charming. IMO.... Devillishy Evil though sometimes sexy..... EJ DiMera Dastardly Charming.... EJ Wells |

He's a man, he's enjoying what is so freely offered. Seriously how many men will walk away? Very few and they very rarely commit. So good luck Abby. Lol |

LOL,... you! Well,.. you might be right. If it is EJ it wouldn't be something completely unheard of of him. Maybe thats why he set up the fire and tea and everything. LOL I don't know,.. whoever is the photographer followed her from town so... I just imaged that it was Nick or even Ann. But yeah.. the writers was cleaver here. They got people arguing of who that person could be. =) |

I also liked EJ Wells. It was a time when he could have been Tony and Anna's long-lost son stolen and raised by Stefano and not a ridiculous SORAS of a child we never needed to see again. |

EJ will do whatever he wants to Abby when he is ready to discard her. He is a selfish person who won't give a damn about her after she serves his purposes (whatever all those are revealed to be in time). That's who EJ is. To say Abby is not in danger from him? Please. I'm sure she will think that which will just further prove she doesn't know him at all. So yeah, EJ can and probably will hurt Abby at some point even if he tries not to, he will but he won't care when all is said and done either. That will be little Abby's life lesson I think at the end of all this. The potential for Sami to hurt her is a given. Who knows if she will or not but I really hope Sami does go after her. Little tramp has it coming in spades. She wants to play in the big leagues than it's time to buck up, buttercup. |

If the writers were trying to redeem EJ through Abby, like J&J, the Christening would have been a perfect opportunity to show that EJ was actually sorry for the things that he'd done. EJ hurt the hell out of Lucas, Rafe, Marlena, etc... Jack would have recognized and owned what he did to them, and come up with an believable excuse to bow out of the occasion. Even if he really wanted to go, he would have stepped back and let them have this special moment without his presence being a painful reminder to them. He would have allowed Lucas this special time with his son and granddaughter, and Rafe this special time with his sister and niece. EJ is just going to be an asshole to them. The writers didn't need to show EJ's reaction to Nick being alive there, they could have continued the drama by showing his reaction to Nick the next day. |

As to the comparisons to J&J, I can't even. Not even on the surface level. Jack and EJ are my favorite Days characters ever but just no. EJ isn't even remorseful about anything at this point. Jack was. Jen wasn't acting like a slut back then. Abby is. J&J weren't about sex for the longest time. It was all angst and it was beautiful. EJ and Abby are only about sex right now. The only link to them is that Abby is J&J's daughter and EJ is a bad man. It doesn't go any further than that. |

Really? :shrug: From what I have seen James seems very open to pairings outside of Sami. Didn't he refer to this storyline as fascinating? I'm sure he likes Ejami but I doubt he'd be opposed to a storyline or pairing that'd give him a meatier SL than the same SLs he's gotten with Ejami the past 7/8 years. |

I don't get where this idea of EJ being redeemed through Abby comes from. I don't see one thing on-screen that indicates they're going to redeem EJ. He's covering up a murder. He's lying about his sister's involvement in a rape. He's cheating on his fiancée. And he's selfishly using a young woman for both the cover-up and the cheating. On top of that, he doesn't seem to feel very bad about any of it. Seriously, how is EJ being redeemed? |

I am not under the illusion that EJ is anywhere near falling in love with Abby at this point. His focus is still Sami and his kids. But I do think he is the one with the infatuation when it comes to Abby. He did not ever intend to have sex with her obviously. But I think it made him feel good to know that even with her questioning his motives, she still saw him as worthy and desirable. When she pointed out his "tells" and said "I see you, EJ", I think it made him feel good to know that she was accepting of him even in his evilness. I think he also realized that she had interest in him over some time to be able to notice these things. She is young, tender and "fresh", so most men would take that risk if put in the same situation. I Know that he went to the cabin the first time for Sami. Perhaps he even had sex with Abby for the first time to seal the deal and keep her quiet after realizing she had feelings for him. But anything beyond that is just gratuitous sex with a young woman who finds him irresistible and who makes him feel good about himself. I feel bad for Abby because I know she is headed for heartache. And she is basically innocent in all this. She was dragged into it because the three stooges could not get their stuff together. EJ should not have any real interest in hurting Abby because he knows she had no part in it. But of course, she will get hurt in the end. |

I felt bad for Abby after right after it happened the first time. But after Friday's episode, she gets no pity from me about whatever is coming her way. She seems to know that odds are decent that she's being getting played or being used by EJ and she doesn't seem to care. I honestly feel better about the whole situation now that it's clear that Abby isn't an innocent victim at all. |

I don't think she was ever a victim of anything, she's the aggressor, LOL. And Ej's willing to aggressed on, she keeps proposing the situation of loving on each other (sex) to him, and he goes for it. For the most part, I dislike EJ DiMera, but I like the roll he's taking on. He seems to be seperating, not from EJami, but from the ideal of being Sami's shield, guard, and defensive end. And Abby doesn't require it, she wants EJ naked and on top of her, only (though she feels totally conflicted and dirty about that)... and the truth is EJ is willing. LOL. He's perfectly willing, he set up the fire and the tea. The man is not that stupid. I think this stopped being about a cover up, a long time ago. It's now about two people and they're shock that they had sex... to EJ an affair-- but strangely enough, not shocked enough not to repeat it. EJ's not being devious, he's being :shrug: , and being Sami's defensive end, and not enjoying it at all. That's not the EJ I've grown to despise. And frankily I think James wants to be an actor, yes he likes the fans, so would any actor, but to be a good actor he has to be versatile. To different character changes, to different lover changes, and to different rolls-- otherwise he falls into the Peter Falk sydrome. No offense to any fan bases or to anyone that likes him with anyone. But I have figured out this is a rendition of EJ Wells to me, and I will enjoy it until he gets sucked into Sami again and his personality changes again. |
