Wow, AMAZING show today. Will try and remember all the highlights.

Attractive men in suit count: 7 (YAY Costume Dept) :cheer:
Ok, and a Roman in a suit too.

I loved everything about this episode. The Baptism was wonderful. So nice seeing the actual ceremony as opposed to just the beginning and then skipping to the end. And baby Ari is sooooo cute. Hope they keep her on for a VERY long time!

All of the Lumi goodness! So many great moments. And I loved the fact that during the ceremony you had Sami leaning away from EJ and towards Lucas. Hoping that is a bit foreshadowing. (need a screencap of this PLEASE w/ a dozen cherries on top)

Kate was brilliant. From her saying that there are times she actually likes Sami and how uncomfortable that makes her to all the shade she was throwing at Julie. :) And her comment about EJ needing to shut Abby up again, hehehe.

As for Julie, seeing Julie, Hope and Jennifer sitting together was perfect for my Horton loving heart! Now if only we could have had Doug, Bo and Jack sitting w/ them. And Julie's comment about Eric, LMAO!!

EJ and Abby... Going to try not to get all fangirly about them, but wow. The tension between them at the end could be cut w/ a knife. And EJ turning the tables on Abby and asking her why she slept w/ him, YES!! Loved her turning away from him and running straight for Hope. She wants him so much, but she isn't going to let him manipulate her any more. Cannot wait to see where they take this.

And lastly, NICK!!! OMG, walks in, shuts the door behind him, turns around and 'Sorry, am I interrupting.' Best Friday ending in years!!! Going to be a VERY long weekend!

I know I missed alot of highlights, but this episode was just perfect soapy yumminess!

Best Actresses on the show :wub2: :) ^_^

I notice the one on the right (In the red) is a little bigger or maybe it's the angle of the picture but they are just damn adorable little girls :)

bwahahahahahah "Sorry. Am I interrupting?"
Literally perfection.
It really was. Loved the "I've got you all by the balls" undertone. The boy remembers all. EJ's reaction was priceless. :popcorn:
Hands down THE line of the episode! I mss Nick oh so much. I can't wait to see what he has in store for Gabi/Sami/Kate!

Wow, fantastic episode today. Great script, great interactions, great suprises. Here is my breakdown.

Hortons: It seems odd that they want to rally around Nick given how they didn't seem to give 2 shits about him when he was a good, sweet, decent guy, but it's so great to see Hortons talking about being Hortons and helping each other. For too long we've had such a emphasis on the other families like Bradys or Dimeras. Plus, we get interaction today by Julie & everyone, Lucas & Abby/Jennifer, etc.

Julie: Ok, she was so over the top but it wasn't exactly unrealistic. I know many women who watched too many Murder She Wrotes who would be running around butting her nose in everything. And when she talked about Eric coming in....BWAH. I had a flashback to a funeral I went to with my Dad and they had these 90+ year old "honorary" pallbearers that came down the aisle and my dad thinking he was whispering (but he didn't) THEY ARE GOING TO HAVE A TOUGH TIME WITH THE COFFIN!! and I was all SSHHHH!!!!!

Eric: Too bad Marlena didn't get any time at the church but I loved she seems to be on team Ericole right now. (I never that would happen but she probably didn't either). And what the heck happened to his hair form the hospital to the church? I was thinking it looked nice then he showed up at the church like he just watched a Sopranos marathon.

Kate/Sami: I think I enjoy Sami most with Kate. ANd I never thought would happen. There were times I used to hate Kate when it came to Sami, she was so ridiculous and extreme about her. They've put their differences aside before (when necessary) but this situation has them practically living together. Sami saying what she said to Rafe sort of felt like she was doing it on Kate's behalf (she knows abour Rafe right?) more than jealousy but Kate's line that sometimes she really liked Sami did play for laughs but...I don't know, I think Sami was kind of touched right then.

EJ/Abby: Their scenes continue to fascinate me. I have no doubt that last Ejabby scene was his way of stalling/buying time. But I'm also amused that the great Dimera manipulator can't figure out a way to distract Abby otherwise. What I find the most interesting is Lucas telling Abby she will find the right man and he won't be a Dimera then cue EJ coming up behind her and she doesn't have to look to know it's him. That's soap opera coupling 101 right there and since EJami had no isolated scenes today, any NEW viewer would expect Ejabby to be the upcoming couple.

Ari: That baby was awesome. I was expecting Nick to walk in during the ceremony so I am really glad that they got the baptism done and it was technically over. Nice effect of Gabi remembering the river stuff.

Caroline/Roman: Nice scene there. Very sweet. It's moments like this I wish with all my might that Wayne was still in the role of Roman. And I adore Caroline. Though I do think I'd hesitate before taking food from the owner who looks like she doubles as a chimney sweep.

LAST BUT NOT LEAST: Nick
So I've made it no secret that having Nick as a deranged, crazy lunatic is not the story I want for him. I know, I know. I know I'm in the minority that preferred him as a good guy over a bad guy. But I do delight in the way he waltzes back into the church. I thought it was the perfect soap cliffhanger. I also am loving people's reactions at his 10 second 4 word scene like he just parted the red sea. I just want to say thats always been my reaction to him. :hail:

I'm so glad that I didn't read the pbp for today's show because I kept wondering when Nick was going to show up. And with everyone getting up and leaving the church I begin to think that he wasn't going to show up at all and the promo had been misleading. Talk about......wait for it......wait for it.....

I'm SO glad Nick is back to make life HELL for those three wicked WITCHES. Seeing the somewhat leading ladies just dumping a body into the river and thinking it's "just going to go away" and be okay is ridiculous. I'm waiting for Nick to blackmail the pants off of them.

One thing I will say though: Nick better not die for real at the end of this storyline. Because I have a sneaky suspicion that's where it might be headed.

Fantastic show today.

I'm kind of liking the Rafe / Lucas relationship ... I think those 2 would make great friends.

Love watching Sami and Kate trying to rationalize with a clearly coming un-done Gabi. LOL at their 'Amateur's remark in the church. Also liked that moment when Sami commented that being so over-protective of Rafe. Kate pointed out that she called Rafe's new girlfriend and then added 'Sometimes I like you. That's disorienting.'

So many nice moments between Will and Sonny, Sonny and Rafe, Will and Gabi, Eric and Fr. Matt ... just added little touches that made today seem like a real celebration.

Julie was exactly ... Julie! LOL! She played her role perfectly.

EJ was definitely in smooth operator mode with Abby today. I don't believe he slept with Abigail to keep her quiet but I definitely believe that he's more than capable of using Abby's obvious attraction to him to get her to do what he wants today which ironically is to keep her quiet.

And that ending ... Classic Friday cliff-hanger.

I can't wait to see what Nick we're going to see on Monday and whether it will be an act or not. Can't wait to hear his explanation of where he's been these past few months. So many possibilities and I just now that now matter which way this goes Blake Berris is going to bring it!

You are honestly not alone. However, I'd take this Nick over NO Nick. I loved how he feigned innocence with just that one line but you could sense his malevolence as he shut that door behind him almost guaranteeing no one could flee, lol.

I just got to read Pat's recap. I am curious, in the beginning of the show, why Eric was at the hospital... when he left the hospital yesterday? :blink: This show has serious continuity issues sometimes.

Ohhh Nick... I can't wait to see this! lol

Flawless episode and that ending while predictable was still perfect. Lucas interacting with Jennifer and Abby? About time.

Kami, Lumi, Ejabby, and great family moments my favorite being Caroline and Roman at the pub.

Looking forward to Monday's episode.

LOL at the Kami facial expressions.

OMG that Baby Arianna. She wins it all.

Also I have really never thought Sween and GV made such incredibly believable siblings/'twins'...until that pic. Which, unsurprisingly enough, is mostly of GV so there you go.
