I would laugh my ASS off if it's Percy. Who mistakenly thinks that EJ is Kate's younger lover who was cheating (that she mentioned as her fake alibi) and tries to help her by catching the scoundrel in the act with Abby.

Then he shows the pictures to Kate. Hilarity ensues.
I never thought of him. Or he will show the pictures to Sami - he seemed interested in her - kept asking Kate about her "sassy blonde friend"

Its "Little Jeannie". Two things Theresa hates most in one song - being considered a kid and the name she abhors.


good point. That would be kind of hillarious. I could see Brady saying that in one of his drunk rages

You know what would be an awesome way to piss Theresa off? Maybe someone can start singing "Jeannie" by Elton John in front of her as a way of taunting her. That'd be hilarious.


I was looking the lyrics and the song is kind of positive
Well, yeah, but I suggested it because apparently Theresa hates her birth name and I thought this would be an excellent way to antagonize her.

I must say, Abby has definately one upped her EJ manipulation. She has this down perfect. The moment she starts to feel EJ withdrawing from her, she plays the guilt/victim card. EJ falls for it and bends over himself to reassure her and she just swoops in for the kill.
Yeah, after today's episode, I don't feel as bad for Abby as I did before. She seems to think odds are decent that she's being played by EJ and the girl was so thirsty that she didn't care. She was pulling out all her tactics today so I'd say if she ends up getting burned, so be it.

That said, I like this version of Abby better than the "poor me" one of last week. Hopefully she maintains this grown up attitude even after all the secrets are out.
I have a feeling Abigail is going to have to spend some energy convincing people that she was the aggressor when this whole thing blows up. I can see her getting really fed up with everyone thinking she was EJ's victim.
So long as SHE doesn't try to play the victim card like she did last week, then I'm fine with others assuming EJ took advantage of her. Abby is actively pursuing him knowing all the risks, so whatever happens, hopefully she will have her big girl panties on.

I fear they'll waffle between this version we saw today and the whiny victim we saw in less stellar scripts, depending on who is writing the script. Hoping beyond hope that I'm wrong.

Freddie, Guy, AZ and GV were sizzling on the screen. Loved the WilSon and Ericole scenes so much. And because they were so good, I will refrain from saying anything negative about my least favorite pairing.

Baby Ari spends a lot in that bar. I think by age six she'll be mixing drinks, while covering up a murder.

I like Julie's snooping. Gabi was less nervous today. Speaking of Julie, is the Brady pub next door to club TBD? Julie was there before T had a chance to give Gabi an answer.

I wouldn't count on it, tomsawyer. Ten minutes after she leaves the Love Shack, she'll start accusing EJ of taking advantage of her. And when this whole thing is exposed, she will be screaming for weeks about how EJ ruined her life.

I'm hoping the fact that they're showing any assertiveness from Abigail is a sign that we'll all be wrong there. If she's just gonna be victim again, why even portray her as the aggressor?

Wow so much for Abby feeling remorse or guilt over screwing over her family member's fiancé and possibly her life. Sami will be fine and hopefully move on from the kiddie pool EJ has waddled himself in. I got a strong vibe from Lucas during yesterday's show that he might not be quite over Sami yet. We shall see, but Abby I won't be packing my stuff yet to move into Dimansion. Sometimes, mothers do know best.
Regarding Lucas and Sami: Will told Sonny his mom and dad's history of marrying, and marrying, and "they will probably married again - Not to each other, thank God"...anvil?

This show is really bad with consistency. Look at Adrienne and her bajillion apologies, or Sonny's ever changing attitude towards Gabi (love/hate/tolerance/hostility and now bff).

By victim, you mean when it comes out people will assume EJ "tricked" Abby into sleeping with him? (Jennifer, Hope, etc).

I think to some extent, everyone (other than Sami) is going to believe Abby was led astray by EJ. It's not true, shes been the aggressor and it's going to be quite an eye opener for Jennifer to find out her beloved little girl not only has been actively sleeping with EJ Dimera but instigating it.

Of course, it doesn't matter though that they will be wrong in regards to how active/willing participant Abby has been, EJ very much has cheated on Sami and lied to cover it up. Plus, this all started with his trying to cover up something Sami did so there will be talk on that as well. I don't think EJ or Abigail should or will get a free pass when this comes to light. People, besides Sami (who yes, definitely deserves to be) will be unhappy and disappointed in this.

And I am very much looking forward to seeing how it all comes down.

Technically Sami was only married to Rafe Hernandez since every other marriage was either annulled or ceremony was aborted.

Also, Will's family is full of multiple marraiges (his aunt Jennifer 4, his grandma Kate -4), so the poor guy has a right to be gun shy.

I agree that some of the writers haven't gotten the memo that Abby isn't to be written like a 50 year old virgin anymore (just as a few haven't gotten the dial back on the Daniel propping memo).

But the show has gone out of its way to portray Abigail as the aggressor, and to portray Jennifer as being worried about her association with EJ.

But I did get hints today that Abigail is acting out against everyone's expectations of her, so I could definitely see her being irritated that everyone blames EJ for the affair. But it will depend on what writer is writing it.

I can't figure out why it was so hot in the basement where Eric and Nicole were. It's winter in Salem so the basement would be very cold.
Maybe there's a boiler down there?
I guess that's possible, but aren't boiler rooms locked? And didn't he turn a fan on? Wouldn't that blow cold air into there?
The room they were in was likely the boiler room. He broke into Daniel's apartment, so I don't think a lock would stop him. The fan was outside the boiler room and he turned it on to drown out their voices of protest. No fan/boiler correlation.
And there's no way a fan could cool down a boiler room. ;)

Ericole are EVERYTHING.

Guy and Freddie's bedroom scenes are about 100 x's hotter than Chandler and Freddie's were.

She came off really whinny today to me, I was begging for EJ to bang her so she'd shut up.

I think this girl is so insecure and gets off on the thrill of having some sort of power over EJ. I tell ya, she wants to be Sami when she grows up.

Julie on the phone with Marie. Next time, let's have them talking in the Horton living room, please.
Maree Cheatham's presence would have been most welcome in this storyline or during any of the various dramas surrounding Nick's time on the show.

She was whiny for part of it, but it seemed like that her whinyness today was more calculated manipulation. "Oh, EJ, you don't care about little old me" really means "Tell me how pretty I am." Regardless, I'm done feeling bad about her getting manipulated in anyway because she basically pleaded with EJ to let her ride his dick today even after thinking he might be playing her. So she gets none of my tears if he ends up fucking her over (all puns intended).

Why can't DAYS just go back to calling her Abby instead of Abigail?
Gabi gotta die and/or leave first. :shrug:
I have never not rolled my eyes at this-an established legacy character born onto the show suddenly having to be referred to exclusively by her formal name because a newbie character made up only a year earlier was given a rhyming name.

But, then again, "Jackson" came back as "Sonny" and Jeannie came back as "Theresa," so :shrug:
