Actually I don't hate Sami. Not like others do. I do admit I hate Ejami. And what I've seen between them has never been about love. I think it's twisted and I feel like we've watched EJ and Sami spin in the same circles with each other for several years and I don't care about it. But to split him up with Amish Abby who now is no longer so Amish? That's interesting in and of itself. Plus, Ejabby is hot. KM is a stunning young woman and it's a crime not to have JS paired in more hot, shirtless love scenes. Then the way they write Abby around EJ, we are seeing the Johnson side in her, and it's wonderful to this long time soap watcher. And that Johnson side merged with the Horton side is fascinating. She is torn between trying to put a stop to it as well as figure out what the hell really happened between Nick and everyone while having a burning desire for a man who has always been an enigma to her but now she is seeing some vulnerable sides to as well. |

I can't obviously speak for everyone, but I don't care about Sami or Ejami in the context of EJ and Abby getting together. That's why I don't want her to get pregnant right now because I don't care about it blowing them apart or how it might humiliate Sami. I care about what entertains me. And on a soap where people shoot others in the head, rape them or let them go to prison to be lethally injected, infidelity just doesn't seem like that big a deal. You know, in the scheme of crimes. :laugh:

Oh, I don't believe that E.J. loves Sami, either, as I've said before. And I have no problem with splitting the couple up, since I think that they never should have been paired together in the first place because he has done despicable things to her that have never truly been dealt with. But still, the whole idea of romanticizing the fact that he is cheating on Sami, complete with grand confessions on the day of their wedding and violins playing in the background as he rushes off to find his "true" love, Abby (to paraphrase the scenario that one poster outlined on the previous page), is just a bit too much for me. Sami's still the wronged party here, whether you like her or not. She did nothing wrong -- her great sin in this case was daring to demand total honesty from the man she is planning to spend the rest of her life with -- and yet people are still cheering E.J. on and salivating at the idea of seeing her get her heart broken. If it were any other woman, I highly doubt that would be the case. Edited by Will&Sonny, Jan 17 2014, 09:28 PM.

Well, I know some would love to see EJ leave Sami at the alter. My preference is Ejami call it quits (really on their own they have enough problems they don't even need the Ejabby stuff to come out) and EJabby still try to stay apart but circumstances keep drawing them together. My favorite idea is EJ starts butting into Abby's life, he's so used to having to run Sami's that he believes that is what women want: setting them up in a job, tying up mistakes they make, trying to get their relatives out of tight spots. Yet Abby doesn't want that or like that (much). And he surprises her more by showing him he's her own woman who can handle life's challenges on her own without falling apart. |

I tend to think of it this way...I'M the wronged party...I've had to live with 7 freaking years of Ejami, on and off in some incarnation...I never liked Ejole but I had to put up with them also...then came scarf sniff and that again was disgusting....so now I am finally fine watching Ej in a pairing without having to turn the TV off in disgust and without missing anything else I love about my show because I got to quickly fast forward. I like Abby..and maybe that is the reason why it seems different this time.....I liked Nicole but the story was different...Ej was too hung up on Sami to make the story good for me. With Ejabby...That is a plus for me..a reward for years of crap I guess. You say that Ej doesn't love anyone..isn't capable of and I agree...but I also think that Sami as portrayed now isn't capable of love either...so in a way she sort of, kind of has this coming....she blindly believes and forgives Ej and when she doesn't (Like now) she knows he's lying and doesn't do anythign about it...why not pick up your stuff, give him back his ring and take your kids and leave...make a final definitive moment in the relationship that forces him to either tell you what you already know or have him realize that you should be higher on the totem pole that his dear family....but alas..that won't happen because sami will likely tell him she knows he knew about Kristen, and she forgives him for not telling her...another slash to the character of sami.....for that reason alone, I like the development with Abby...it proves that all that Ej says is pure and utter bullshit....sooner or later....he'll be shipped with the wood chipper that I want. |

People loving EJabby has nothing to do with anyone's hatred for Sami. There are quite a few people who love Sami with Lucas, Rafe, Austin, etc. but can't stand her with EJ. (not that people are being pro-EJabby simply because they're anti-EJami.) Someone cheating on the person they claim to love is one of the most basic soap plots. In the past, people have cheated on those they felt they should be with with the person they truly love, and people have cheated on the ones they say they truly love with someone they never really had the intention of sleeping with, but the chemistry/feelings crept up, it happened, and it felt good. Some could argue that EJami romantacizes a victim falling for their rapist. |

Kate Mansi is not hideous, I'll give her that. She's just, meh........ As somebody pointed out, beauty is subjective. And well, TIIC see something special in her that I don't. I don't know what the hell it could be. But they seem to think the sun rises and sets with her. LOL Camila Banus on the other hand, now SHE, she is STUNNING!

I don't hate Sami either. I've always liked her with Lucas, because they seemed real and they really loved each other (other people kept getting in the way Kate, EJ). LUMI fought, loved and had fun together (they were passionate and halirious). I only see Sami fighting with EJ and even when they love, it's always because they are fighting before hand. So I like Ejabby because its hot, interesting and its stirring things up. I don't think EJ meant it to go this far with Abby but got caught up in it. I think this pairing will show a different side to EJ. I'm looking forward to the blow up when Sami finds out, not because I want her to be hurt, but because I want to see who she runs to (hopefully Lucas) for support. I think Lucas will be there for her, but not maybe not all of him since we hope he is hot and heavy with Sheryl or someone please! :$ |

In affairs someone always lose. That didn't stop the cheering when Bo took Hope from her wedding or john finally landed Marlena. Audiences chose the side who they think are meant to be. And clearly Sami is not on that side to everyone. |

I don't mind if people hate characters (I can't stand Rafe for no particular reason, although he's a bit redeemed in my eyes after I watched him and Sami before Gack), but what I hate is the extremely misogynistic comments that are directed at Sami, and at times, AS. Many times, I've read comments that make me recoil at their backwardness. Just thinking about it makes me gag. Prior to discovering this board, I found the character Sami annoying, though most of the time she has good intentions but her actions are always counter productive. But reading those comments make her sympathetic figure and rootable, in my eyes. |

Sami doesn't arouse any sympathy for me. She walks around being a smug bitch and makes statements like she can't believe that any man would want Kate or Nicole......like she's just the hottest woman God ever created. She didn't have any problem breaking Lucas' heart chasing after EJ or Nicole's with the griefsex. Not to long ago she threw Nicole dead babies in her face. Sami's got it coming and I can't wait for EJ, supposedly the only man who truly loved her and understood her to give it to her in spades with his fling with pretty, young Abby. |

The heart wants what the heart wants.Sami and EJ are not married so I have no problem with EJ coming to the realization that he has been obsessed by Sami,he never loved her and deciding to end their relationship to allow Sami to find true happiness with someone else (not Lucas not Rafe).As I have posted in the past I loathe and despise the character of Sami for cheating on Rafe while he was looking for Johnny and breaking up Lucas' engagement to Autumn,even though we never saw her,then walking away from them without a backward glance or care in the world to be with EJ.I think she is getting just what she deserves in EJ cheating on her with Abby.Atleast he is for once having the "decency"to cheat while neither he nor Abby are married to anyone.I still want that smug look wiped off her face by having Abby getting a baby out of this.Normally I would agree that EJ does not need any more kids but he only has two and with his money and family history ala Stefano,three babies would not be too many for him.

You know EJ is being really stupid when it comes to Abby. He doesn't know whats really going on in her mind. What if she did love him and wanted to have his child? He isn't doing anything to prevent it. We haven't been giving any clue that he using protection so I'm assuming that he's assuming that Abby's on the pill or using some other form of birth control.......which she may or not be. I can see Sami confessing her love to him and ready to make up and then he gets a text from Abby, "I'm late". |

That's something that's missing so badly on this show... a rooting couple. There's never been a real threat to John & Marlena, or to Steve and Kayla, Jack and Jennifer... Bo and Hope are different, but in the end, Bo and Hope as played by Peter and Kristian were the exact same. Audiences have a rooting couple, and they'll go along for a well-written ride. That's what the show's missing with EJ/Sami and Daniel/Jennifer. They prop them up so much, and want them to be these lead couples, and they aren't the rooting couples. They actually have a shot with Eric and Nicole 2.0, but I feel like I'm almost waiting for them to screw it up for good. Rooting couples don't have to be happy, but you have to give the audience something: Good, in character writing. |

This is probably why I am so wary of the writing right now. They actually have that rooting factor in Ericole but will they write for them? I'd have more faith if they got rid of Daniel and inserted some other guy in his place, like Brady but they won't because they hero worship Daniel so hard they will make him Nicole's more viable suitor if is suited them. |

I feel like shipping Ericole is about the safest shipping on Days right now. The writers obviously love them and are very invested in their slow build. And there's still a lot of story to tell before they even become a couple, so it's not like they're in danger of becoming stale anytime soon. Plus, by Days' standards, they seem to have really widespread support among the audience. So yeah, I think Ericole is pretty safe to ship. On the other hand, shipping any EJ or Sami related pairings is an exercise in futility. They're likely to pass those two characters around Salem until the show goes off the air because all of their pairings cause a ton of buzz, for good or bad. Until the audience stops having strong reactions to EJ or Sami, I expect all of their pairings to be rather short-lived. I'm actually amazed Ejami will probably have a 16 month run before they blow up. It's about 5 more months than I expected. |

Well, it is not Sami's fault that she has had men circulated around her, apparently she has an attraction that makes these men weak in the knees, she's messy and trouble well it just makes the character interesting, it's better than boring, and hypocrite. And I don't think she thinks she is all that quite the contrary she is insecure but still strong. IMO One more thing, I have honestly been fedup when it comes to Sami on several occasions, but noway that I don't have sympathy for her when it comes to this sl, I've written it before EJ was the one who chased her in seven years more or less in the end she gave him a chance and what does he do? Well he betrays her, it's someone I root for in this nasty sl then it is Sami, and she will definitely kick ass when she finds out what has been going on behind her back :) Edited by The Scorpion, Jan 18 2014, 07:35 PM.
