But the premise is just so bad. It came the fuck out of NOWHERE - there was no build up except for a couple of minor conversations about angel wings. Everytime Ejabby bangs an angel gets it's wings.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep50 Shades came out there has been support for James as a perfect candidate for the movie version. Days is smart to move on that and utilize it in the show. Why not bank on that popularity and the fact his fans want to see him in this type role? KM is the perfect choice to pair with him. I hope they make the most of this and keep tongues wagging!
I can't wrap my head around the 50 shades references to this story, though. There is absolutely nothing in this that plays anything at all like the books. The plot is nothing like it - the characters are nothing like it. It's completely unrelated.
Perhaps a lot of viewers are like me.I have not read Fifty Shades but have seen references to it and made assumptions as to what is actually in the book based on the comments of others.Another poster cleared up some content for me by giving me the names of the characters and their ages because I assumed the male character was early to mid thirties and the female character early twenties.If EJ/Abby is not Fifty Shades,it does not bother me.I like what I am seeing on my screen even if its not Fifty Shades.
50 shades is mommy porn, s&m and bondage, not getting why that's appropriate for daytime TV. It is also very poorly written fan fiction. If you want to know about that book without having to dredge through it, author Jennifer Armintrout, who made USA Today's Bestselling list, and is a in a dominate/submissive bondage relationship with her husband, can tell you just how crappy the fifty shades of grey is both from a writing standpoint, and from personal knowledge of just how wrong E.L. James gets everything. And she dishes it up with glorious snark:

Someone being whipped, by dominatrix, Thanks.In that case I'm okay with that being removed from Abby's itinerary.I've gotten passion,tenderness,and a hint of romance.I want to enjoy them for a while.

She did very well with the right material. (Austin storyline) Ever since 50 Shades came out there has been support for James as a perfect candidate for the movie version. Days is smart to move on that and utilize it in the show. Why not bank on that popularity and the fact his fans want to see him in this type role? KM is the perfect choice to pair with him. I hope they make the most of this and keep tongues wagging!
I can't wrap my head around the 50 shades references to this story, though. There is absolutely nothing in this that plays anything at all like the books. The plot is nothing like it - the characters are nothing like it. It's completely unrelated.
Perhaps a lot of viewers are like me.I have not read Fifty Shades but have seen references to it and made assumptions as to what is actually in the book based on the comments of others.Another poster cleared up some content for me by giving me the names of the characters and their ages because I assumed the male character was early to mid thirties and the female character early twenties.If EJ/Abby is not Fifty Shades,it does not bother me.I like what I am seeing on my screen even if its not Fifty Shades. Older more worldly man/younger naive virginal woman is a romance novel and, once upon a time, a soap staple. To me, outside of the JnJ similarities, EJ and Abby are simply of that type. The chemistry and Days family history is what gives them their own unique flavor.

I'm actually shocked. I had such low expectations for what the Ej/Abby relationship would become that reading this makes me feel spoiled. In fact, I want to go out now and do a good deed for someone else to pay it forward.
Uh oh. Ejabby is making me a better person. I do like your signature banner. Very creative.

Good for Kate Mansi. I like her as an actress but, I'm not a Ejail fan. The character of Abby is beyond annoying. This pairing was out of the blue, for me and doesn't make sense. My only solace is that I can't see things ending well for Ms Abigail. EJ always bounces back. Sami is Sami. But , Abby is no Nicole so unless they recast Chad, she'll probably be on her way out of Salem once everything blows up.

After seeing Sami literally whining like a 5 year old child when EJ left her standing in DiMansion I can't with people acting like Abby is too young in any way for EJ. TRUTH!

Well, I hate it, but it almost seems like that's what the writers were going for; they want people to love and hate it.
The 50 Shades things confuses me though, cause I don't see that at all. I didn't see it with Ejami either.
Sigh. It could have been so much better with Elope.
Don't give up hope on Elope. No one thought EJabby would actually happen & it did, so who knows. Maybe one day Elope will happen too.
