Today's show wasn't about showing how attracted EJ is to Abby, rather it was more the other way around if anything. |

Don't forget about her grandmother & great grandmother, who along with her mother thought they killed her dad's cousin. And the fact that her grandmother is engaged to a man who, along with other members of his family, have caused so much havoc to the town/city she lives in & the people in her family (including her maternal uncle). |

That makes much more sense. I knew Adrienne was pregnant during "Angstmas" which was December -January 1990. There is a scene after Jack takes Jennifer's engagement ring back where Adrienne takes him to "breakfast" at the Cheatin' Heart and tells him she and Justin are moving to Dallas. If Sonny had been born after Abby, Adrienne would have been pregnant more than 2 years! |

As a fairly new viewer to Days, I was not watching the show at all when all the history of Ejami took place. Meaning, what EJ did to Sami and Sami did to EJ does not affect me in the same way say as a viewer who went through all the Ejami drama as it unfolded before them. Therefore I feel fairly neutral in my views of Ejami in general. I neither hate them nor do I ship them, they just are for me, if that makes sense. So here is my opinion of Ejami and Ejabby. When I watch the show, I see Ejami as a couple who has gone through many hurdles to be together, And I believe at their core, EJ and Sami love each other very much, but as Lucas once said to Sami, "Sometimes love isn't enough." I think that in the end, Sami and EJ can forgive all transgressions they caused each other but not the transgressions caused by their loved ones to each other's loved one's. Ultimately, I think that in the end, Ejami will not be able to survive their relationship despite them wanting to and loving each other. When I watch, I see EJ as a middle aged man (not sure what his age is supposed to be on screen, but I place him at around 40) who feels like he is not getting all that he needs from the woman he loves, so he turns to a younger woman who has him placed on a pedestal and for her own reasons idolizes him. Perhaps Abigail has daddy issues, perhaps not (ymmv), but the conditions were right for a brief but passionate affair or one day stand if you prefer. I think that after being together, EJ and Abigail both realized that they liked the sex a lot more than they thought they would. And right now, both are in lust despite them both not wanting to be. I think that EJabby will happen again and I also think the fall out from being caught will make for great soapy story telling. But I also think that EJabby will not last long either. As I am a newby, I do not want to trash any one's 'ship or come across as a troll, but for me, this is what I see when I watch the EJ/Sami/Abigail triangle. Like I said, I'm not as emotionally connected to this/these couples as others so I watch them differently. Oh, and what I intended to say originally before my long rambling comment was that I don't think Abigail is intimidated by EJ but I do think, that EJ is intimidated by Abigail and his feelings for her. |

Very nice!!! Welcome, glad to see someone who agrees with me. I neither hate nor ship EJabby or EJami. Although, I'm gonna get in trouble for saying this, but I never saw Sami and EJ as endgame. Underneath, years of lies on both sides for Sami and EJ...I feel like it was doomed. Lucas and Sami will always be endgame: they are best friends and know each inside and out. And honestly, the only couple or potential couple getting first rate writing to be a supercouple is Eric and Nicole. With Sami leaving in the future, I fully expect to see Eric and Nicole carry the torch of love for the show. It's not like Eric could be with anyone else! And they both really love each other...wow, who knew being honest and not rushing it could make such a timeless love story?:) And yes...EJ and Abby are just lust..NOT LOVE! JMO again, I could care less either way with the way the writers go: it's clear neither EJabby or EJami are endgame. |

Partnersincrime....I think that BryanD/Lucas is one sexy beast! And I really, really like what I've seen of him lately with Sheryl. I also love how he 'lied' to Kate about not seeing her (Sheryl) his bromance with Rafe is fun and sweet and lighthearted imo. I really hope that we get more of Lucas not only in WilSon's orbit but also his own sl with Sheryl and MadWorld. AmbernOK: I really, really love Lucas and Sami when they are together/partners in crime. I loved them when they tried to steal the 'evidence' from the police station together and personally I adore them when they oh and ahh over Will/Sonny/Ari. Endgame? Yeah, I can see that after years (from what I understand) of history together it makes sense. Edited by sunnyways, Jan 26 2014, 03:09 AM.

I think the writers was unsure themself which direction to go Ejami or Ejabby when they did this storyline, so they seem to have written EJ as both manipulating Abby and been attractive to her to keep both options open, but since AS is leaving I think it most likely they will continue with Ejabby at least if JS renews his contract. |

Who the hell knows what they were thinking when they wrote this sl? One thing is for sure they wanted EJ / JS in a lot of steamy sex scenes because they think it sells to female viewers, it could just as well have been another female character now it so happens that Abby is the one that is featured in this sl. Personally, I had seen EJ with someone else more interesting character, about how to tap in to a scandal? Then Hope had been a perfect candidate, talk about that this had become a scandal in Salem. lol As for EJami guess it is pretty obvious that this sl is to end them? or at least so I have interpreted it that way. I guess that's just what makes me find it hard to enjoy the show, they always make the same mistakes over again, they take a weak character and pair it with a strong character, I want to see interesting dynamics with fireworks and so on and unfortunately the only thing going for EJabby is that both characters are good looking but there is nothing more there, I have trouble seeing that EJ would be drawn to a naive girl like Abby? Where is the challenge? But this is what I think and some may think that they are interesting :) Edited by The Scorpion, Jan 26 2014, 05:39 AM.

I think the writers wanted to see peoples reactions to Ejabby before deciding whether or not to end Ejami, since they have this back up plan of EJ only sleeping with Abby to save Sami for him to use as an excuse. There seems to be a pretty positive response to Ejabby except among those who likes Ejami so maybe they would have continue with Ejabby even without AS leaving. I think the hot steamy sex scenes are interesting but I donīt know whether or not they would be interesting as a couple it might depend on if they still would be able to write EJ as grey or not. The show does need more villains that EJ can go up against in order to continue the DE legacy I donīt see him targeting the Bradyīs again, and Abby needs to be able to accept his bad side maybe not completly but at least to a point. |

Yeah, but they brought in Aiden to Hope right? I just wish it wasn't transparent. And they at least considered maybe putting EJ with someone completely different, like Hope. The question is how to make that jump. If they would have put Hope into EJs sphere,.. would i it have been well received or would fans have critiqued it was so out of the blue? Another thing, how would one explain a cop being involved with EJ? I mean,.. its very.. LOL.. I don't know. EJ would never able to tell her any of his schemes. I don't know if that would work. - Despite how much I like the idea of ELOPE. Edited by DayDreamer, Jan 26 2014, 06:32 AM.

I so agree with that they need to add more villains for EJ to go up against. Aiden maybe? I actually thought that Ian was a guy like that,.. but we all know what happened there. Involving him more with the Brady's is nothing new. Him against the Horton would be new,.. they need to really more conflicts without actually placing EJ in situation like it is him alone against the world. A soap is not interesting like that. they have to make it more integrated. People actually interacting with EJ being on EJ's side etc. Anyways, they do not need to change EJ for him to be with a girl like Abby. In fact Abby is Jack's daughter and Jack was very shady in the beginning. I would like to see that in Abby more than her being perfect like Jennifer. Then EJ and Abby would work as a couple/affair etc. For it to work, Abby have to accept EJ's ways and not try to change him. I can actually see Abby doing that. She said, despite everything she still wanted EJ. |

Nah I'm pretty sure that this sl was written to end EJami, those who enjoy EJami do not buy that EJ is cheating regardsless motive, and why would they do that quite crass? The show has written constantly that EJ have seen Sami as his one and only, that he is cheating is definitely the end why would Sami forgive it? No way in hell that she will forgive him, but that doesn't matter, Sure they test EJ with Abby to check feedback etc but when it comes to the storyline, it's lame and not believable to me and it has nothing to do with EJami more with the characters as I said before I can not see a man like EJ be drawn to lame and boring women, this is precisely what makes this sl is wtf, not that he is cheating more who he is cheating with, and I see sexual chemistry between EJ and Abby but it doesn't matter because I want to see more of a story for me to be interested. There has to be an attraction to the characters as well. |

Okay so lets assume Abby used as a story tool to end EJAMI. Its all get revealed and the romance of Abby dies out (Haven forbid) and Sami cuts EJ out of her life. Then who is woman enough for EJ currently on screen? And why would you pair them.. and most importantly how? Edited by DayDreamer, Jan 26 2014, 06:59 AM.

Even if the storyline is meant to ruin Ejami they have tried that before without succeding. I think I would still have liked Ejami together maybe not as much as I use to but it has more to do with me being tired of fanwars and Ejamiīs bad history constantly being brought up rather than Ejabby. If Sami could forgive EJ for rape I donīt see why see couldnīt forgive him for cheating especially if he did it to save her, now it will be the end of Ejami regardless since AS leaving unless she comes back in a fiew years. Anyway while I can see there are people interested in Elope I also think there are people that would think it would ruin Hopeīs character, so I donīt see them doing Elope at the risk of doing that. Maybe Elope could have a short affair with Hope as Gina, even though I would think EJ should find it strange if Hope suddenly got interested in him but on other hand EJ can be stupid sometimes. I do think Abby is a better match for EJ though Hope is to old for him to ever be endgame while Ejabby has potentiell for a long term relationship. |

Well, if they do go with the Gina route. I could see EJ maybe falling deeply in love with Gina (Hope). And if Hope comes back again and rejects EJ. I could see EJ wanting Gina back and doing every thing he can to get her back. Meaning going al la Stefano by trying to force Gina's personality to take over again. Isn't science fantastic? LOL |

I finally watched Friday's episode online last night. Here are my thoughts: Although I'm already sick and tired of the whole Ejabby debate, I thought the menacing but "crap, I have to be menacing, but should I be menacing" and "he's a dickhead, but damn, he's a hot dickhead and I want in his pants even though he's a dickhead" scenario was pretty well played out. This couple, for better or for worse, is going to be intriguing. SCREW the age thing and the height thing and all that shit. (sorry for the language, but this is a couple that is worth dispensing some reality for. I think it can go places. Think outside the box!-and I don't mean Abby's box). Anyway, that baby makes me want to yell at my kids for not getting their boyfriends kicked in gear and get them married so I can have grandkids. She stole the show except for someone else who shall be named later. Julie is the QUEEN of busybody. Heck with this Maggie stuff. Julie rocks! The Hope/Julie dynamic was precious. Yeah, EJ's next conquest needs to be Hope. He's got his work cut out for him, but I'd like to see him try......... Every time I saw Gabi, I wanted a roasted turkey leg and I wanted to break out my recorder in merrye song. I've heard of Renaissance weddings, but a Renaissance christening? Actually, I think Will and Sonny were meh. (Ducking and hiding). Like others, I think the Sami relationship second only to Lumi is Kami. Damn, those two were good. I honestly feel that Sweeney can have a more relaxed relationship with LK and BD because she doesn't have to force sexiness. Forced sexiness is not pretty. Their natural dynamic is awesome, and if she had been allowed to keep that for the past few years, I would be upset about her leaving. Not a fan of the Eric-wanna be Danny Zucko-look. And............BE............STILL..........MY..........HEART. Salem has a REAL VILLAIN. I miss the geeky Nick, but DAMN, can Berris bring it! This Berris fan was giddy with a capital GID. I cannot wait until next week. I am so looking forward to what he's going to dish out until he goes down in flames, in which case, I will probably cry because Berris is so damn good. I LOVE me some good acting! And when he goes down in flames, some prime time show better snatch Berris up fast, and it better be one I watch. Doesn't NCIS need a new geek? I'm sure they can find a place for him. |
