Number one is good, but it's too smart for Days. |

It'd be cool if the person spying on Ejabby turned out to be Chad. And I'd be super impressed if DAYS had recast the role of Chad and managed to keep it secret all this time! (Actually, I recall that DAYS put out a casting call for a really tall twenty-something guy that sounded like it could be a Chad recast. But I don't think we ever learned if DAYS had hired someone for that role.) And it makes sense that Chad would be spying on Abigail in Horton Square. Here's my theoretical scenario: Maybe Chad returned to Salem a few days earlier in hopes of speaking to Abigail, so he followed her to Smith Island. But before Chad could speak to Abigail, EJ showed up at the cabin. Chad spied on them to find out what was going on and was shocked to see them having sex. Chad decides not to confront Ejabby and instead decides to get revenge. Chad could've been spying on Abigail in Friday's episode because Chad knew that Abigail would eventually have another rendezvous with EJ. Then Chad, with camera in hand, follows Abigail to Smith Island and photographs her kissing EJ. Also, it makes sense for Chad to be around when the Ejabby affair is revealed because it would really increase the emotional fallout. Everyone in Salem would be pissed at EJ for betraying Sami, whereas Chad would be pissed at EJ for betraying their brotherly bond. And it would be an especially vicious betrayal because Chad had asked EJ to be kind to Abigail and to help her after Chad had left town. Plus, DAYS needs more twenty-something characters (both male and female), so the Ejabby reveal would be a perfect time for Chad to return to Salem. Edited by Carly, Jan 18 2014, 04:53 PM.

I really appreciate the caps now more than ever.Quite often I remember phrases or the essence of what is happening on screen.Its great to be able to return to this recap for exact wording. EJ:I care about you. Abigail I'm not looking at you because it's hard for me to see the pain that I've caused you and because of the feeling that I get when I look at you are the cause of this in the first place.I'm just trying to do the right thing.Abigail,you are a beautiful young woman who has her whole life ahead of her.Abigail ,please will you stop being so hard on yourself.Abigail ,you're not an idiot.You're you.This thing that you're feeling,it's nothing more than an infatuation. Abby:I 'm a terrible person because in spite of everthing.I still want you.I can't stop thinking about you;about what we did.Its staring at me ever single waking and sleeping moment.I can feel you touch me.I can smell your skin.No,it's not (infactuation).EJ I slept with you twice and God help,I would do it again. Eric:I have faith that death isn't the end.If it comes to that we'll still be together.I would ever leave you,if I could.I would stay with you because I never stopped caring about you.And if it comes to that i just..There is something I want you to know.There's something that I need for you..I just can't leave this world without you knowing. You've meant the world to me from the moment we met until now.I need to say this.I need you to know I always knew there was something and I need,I want you to know that despite my vocation,despite my committment to God,I have feelings for you.My feelings are stronger than friendship.If this all came to an end,it wouldn't be right If I didn't say somehting.I just want to be honest with you,to myself,to God.I love you". Shivers and tears.I don't know exactly who is responsible for this dialogue but for me,they hit it out of the park.Best couples dialogue in eons.Its difficult to believe I am wishing part of my life away because of Days but I am on pins and needles for Monday show.I am slightly pissed that I have a 1:00p.m. appointment but I am going to watch this episode as soon as humanly possible Days is truly CANNOT WAIT TO SEE TV. |

And chad can go on to ruin the ejami wedding getting weirdly blamed for the whole mess by everyone involved but a new place in Salem as a serial wedding stopper in conjunction with Marlena. |

Maybe Daniel/Jennifer would be more popular if Marlena propped them? Usually when the show wanted an unpopular couple to be more accepted by the audience or wanted a couple people were torn about to be more accepted they pulled out Marlena to give her blessing like what happened with Mike and Carrie Hey they've tried everything else so it couldn't hurt |

I wonder how Stefano will feel when he finds out that EJ stole Chad's girl? We all know that, 1) Stefano loves Chad more than EJ; 2) Stefano has weird antiquated views about women, so he'll believe that Abby is Chad's woman; 3) He expects family loyalty, specially since Chad sacrificed his life for his brother. |

Since I'm not invested in the storyline, I think it's all soapy goodness. But if I was invested in Ejami, I'd be mad at EJ, too. Edited by iheartwilson, Jan 18 2014, 09:26 PM.

NO. Just NO. Enough characters have been sacrificed over the last two years trying to make Fetch happen without throwing Marlena into the mix too. Why TIIC are clinging white-knuckled to this dud pairing baffles me no end, though I suspect it has to do with Tomsell trying to make Daniel--their personal Gary Stu--a tentpole character on the show. Ironically, they have a better chance of succeeding in that aim if they cut him loose from Jennifer, because these two bring out the worst in each other. Surely it couldn't be that hard to end the inFetchuation permanently and send both characters in different directions! |

I agree that the pacing of each has been nearly perfect for their individual stories. I know there's been complaints that EJ and Abby basically had a few scenes and then wham, here's the sex. But for me, I saw enough build up, and frankly, "the it came out of nowhere attraction" works for me. Sometimes lightening does strike without warning. So I'm actually loving the hell out of both stories. I do think though at some point the pacing will shift, and we'll be looking at a swifter paced Ericole, nothing too too drastic, but faster, and things will slow down some for Ejabby. Not right now, thankfully (that would kill me! lol), but at some point. |

I don't like them together either I'm just saying that it might help their popularity if Marlena got behind them lol. That's how they got the audience behind Mike and Carrie instead of Austin. Marlena gave them her blessing and the audience got on board. During the triangle with Philip and Brady when the show wanted to go with Brady they had Marlena and Brady reconcile and the audience got on board. It was a pattern of using Marlena to get folks behind people ad pairings the show wanted up push lol. Maybe I shouldn't give the writers any ideas, it's just funny but instead of using JJ which isn't working use Marlena which has worked in the past |

In both those cases, Marlena was supporting her children. She wasn't propping -- not the way Dannifer/Fetch have been propped over the past 3 years. |

Whoever was following Abby must have known something was going on because when they started taking pictures it looked like it was with an actual camera and not a cell phone. Most people don't go around carrying a camera so my guess is that someone hired this person. Whether it was Sami, Ej, or Abby herself I don't know but it doesn't seem likely that it would be Nick since he floated down the river where would he have come up with a camera? |

I know I'm just saying at the crossroads of a triangle when they needed the audience to swing one way or the other they had Marlena pick the winning side and give her blessing which swung the popularity from Austin to Mike and Philip to Brady when the audience was torn and this might work for Dan and Jenn. If Marlena told Jenn that she and Dan belong together it might help get more support. Idk |

Too many people have been on the Dannifer train for that to have any effect. |

Well, if anyone can sniff out duplicity, it would be Kate. Her dilemma would be when or even if to use it, if she sees Sami sniffing around Lucas as I think she may from that scene the other day. I don't think Kate would want to make Sami a free agent then. |

Fan of EJ+ABBY!

Actually, that Ben guy in casting,.. couldn't he be Chad? He certainly looks like he could play the role of Chad. It would really put EJABBY into another perspective with EJ dealing with Chad finding out on screen and having to deal with his brothers anger over it. And of course competition over Abbys affection perhaps? I love to see brothers being on love with the same woman... I don't think we seen that on days. Of course, EJ isn't just any brother. And both are Dimeras. =) Love it. I can definitely see this play out once its revealed and the effects of it has been played out. Maybe Abby decides to make EJ envy by going back to Chad. After all EJ has always been very flirtatious around abby in front of Chad. Edited by DayDreamer, Jan 19 2014, 08:30 AM.
