So, if Gabi goes to prison, I would think that would mean a recast in the future. She's the mother to a Horton/Brady descendant, and she's the Show's current Hero's sister. I'm thinking at some point she's going to have to answer Nick's bluff in order to ensure he's out of Arianna's life. The show has been pushing the do what's best your child angle with her since the Coven storyline began.

ETA: for the first time in an extremely long time I'm not delving too much - if at all - into the spoilers or previews. With the exception of Ericole and WilSon, I'm finding the show quite enjoyable. And am loving the element of surprise while watching the episodes. I can't tell y'all the number of times I've happily yelled OMG! while watching the show during the past two weeks. Yeah, I like EJami, but I can't be mad about EJabby because hell, I'm enjoying them too.
Is Rafe still considered the show's hero? I don't think he's even a lead anymore.
LOL, well I personally never thought of him as the Hero. But I'm guessing once he's securely back on his feet and on the SPDF, he'll don that Super Hero's cape, again.
Only if he's able to tear it from Dr Dan's super strengthened surgeons hands.

John's return!! :cheer: :cheer: :wub: :wub: Cannot WAIT to see this one - I want them angry, hollerin, arguin, talkin, blaming, discussing, thinking, forgiving, talking more, and actually giving a shit about each other - all three of them. I am loving Eric Martsolf more & more and I'm glad my ship is FINALLY back on canvas! Can't blame Corday for being glad Drake is back - I think I alone probably sent the show & it's producers thousands of tweets about bringing him back...it was tough work but :rockon: :chee: :yahoo: :cloud9:
I need John & Marlena have awkward moments and angsty moments thrown in. I want them to have moments of getting lost in their attraction and love for each other, John trying to push without her feeling pressured, and Marlena trying to resist and demanding space. I want him to woo her and show her he effed up, but that isn't who he is. That he's still the John she fell in love with.
You Said IT!!!!

I never like John and Marlena more than when they have an obstacle, a REAL obstacle, to overcome. The money scandal, the fauxman baby with Alex North playing them all, and even Jawn were not as believable as this current situation. John's actions are NOT believable in the least, but the story he's coming into with a screwed up son in denial, and a wife that has moved on to a degree because of his inane actions, gives us a comeback story that has promise of angst and realism, kind of like the original affair. The affair started with unbelievable circumstances (2 Romans...), but became engaging because we could relate to every side and character. I hope they work on this, and give me something to feel some sort of remorse for John.

Thank God......"It won't be easy"!

Between the potential pairing of Ericole/Eric's potential choice to leave the priesthood, Brady's ongoing addiction, and of course the return of John, the show should use Marlena a whole lot more than they are currently. I'm hoping that her absence this month and last may be a result of them banking her episode guarantees for all the story she should have over the next few months. She needs a presence in all three of those storylines, not just her relationship with John, although that's obviously her A story.

I don't think Abby will be Psycho, don't think that would work with EJ, EJ could give lessons in psycho. I think it will be Abby stilll wanting too, EJ unable to resist but frustrated and wanting space. But EJ, could just say....no! But, they're drawn together... that is the way it is. Abby may manipulate him, and that I would just hate...hate...hate...ok, nah, I would love love love it...!!!!!!!!!!!!

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
A part of the gay couple that could be easily replaced. He is the support character to the pivotal character Will Horton. And though Sonny may be part Johnson, part Kiriakis, 99.9% of is time is spent with the Brady clan. The only time he interacts with his parents is when it involves Will. He's very rarely shown at the K mansion. He's very rarely shown with his uncle Victor, and even less with his cousin Brady. Basically, he's a Kiriakis in name only. As for the Johnson side, he's never shown with his aunt Jennifer or even Kayla. Compare that to the way Adrianne has been shown being an Aunt to JJ and Abby. Heck, when it comes to Gabi's involvement in the Daysaster, his only concern has been how her actions relates to Will and to a lesser extent Melanie and Chad. Nothing about the loss to the Johnson/Devereaux family. So, again, IMO, he's merely a support character in the story of Will Horton.
Firstly, they're equals, both a part of the supercouple of Wilson, and second of all FS/ Sonny has been more on screen and has had much more of an impact this fall than Will. All the times Will was away in the writing class, etc. Sonny has had more airtime and storyline than Will.
I think Sonny could be on everyday, leading stories (which he's never done) and still be nothing more than a side character in Will's story. It just so happens that since TomSell came on board, Will is pretty much a side character, too.
I'd love to see Sonny & Will NOT be in a story together. But unfortunately, they come as a boxed set - where one goes, the other goes too. It would be interesting to see Sonny start to have financial problems with the club & not want to turn to his parents or Victor and then try to figure out some not-so-legal ways of either bringing in more business or making extra cash on the side.

Agree.
Sonny and Will would be more interesting as a couple -- if they had separate lives in addition to their lives together.

I was quite surprised when I read this. I've been watching since September 2012. I've never seen him as a lead character or the show's hero. Unfortunately, Daniel has that role.

I figure about the time Nick blackmails Sami with, whatever it may be, she may end up in jail once again...Rafe will be there Im sure. He always loves a damsel in distress...
I also think if Sami DOES in up in jail over something with Nick that Ej wont be able to help or if ,hes with Abby, wouldnt want to..

It can also set up a future custody battle or simply as a disruption to the life WiLSon has established while she's away. Gabi being on canvas does not have to mean the three if them living together. And while Rafe is a supporting character, the same can be said of Sonny. As for Gabi not being pivotal, again, the same can be said of Sonny. Even without Sonny, Will would still be a gay man raising a child. As to what the writers intentions are, who knows what the future holds. And yes, I know about the upcoming nuptials.
Sonny is one part of a gay couple, of course he's pivotal. He's also, a Kiriakis and a Johnson, so he has more connection to Salem than Gabi.
A part of the gay couple that could be easily replaced. He is the support character to the pivotal character Will Horton. And though Sonny may be part Johnson, part Kiriakis, 99.9% of is time is spent with the Brady clan. The only time he interacts with his parents is when it involves Will.

Nothing about the loss to the Johnson/Devereaux family. So, again, IMO, he's merely a support character in the story of Will Horton.
In every couple isn't one of the couple a supportive character? Their issues usually revolves around one and the other reacts. As of Sonny's interaction with his family, I think it has more to do with the way writers use family relationships than anything else. In my opinion this is a major Days weakness. Kayla and Jennifer are Will's actual aunts and supposedly he grew up around them but when did we see them interact? During Gabi's early labor scare Will was crying his eyes out and Kayla was one of the doctors. For new viewers no one will ever think she's related to the baby's father. What about when Will was shot. Did she even visit him? Or Jennifer? Even with Eric, Will's only interaction were story driven (Gack wedding).

Sonny was a full Kiriakis during that ridiculous mob war s/l because it was part of the storyline. After that they forgot he was Kiriakis. During the club opening, Brady came with Kristin who was there to support her brother Chad but Brady never even mentions Sonny is his cousin. You would think a scene where Brady congratulates Sonny would not take up too much.

The show needs to have filler scenes where family members interact and the relationship is highlighted. When Sonny was introduced his uncle Jack was in Salem, why didn't they have at least one scene together, specially since Jack was missing for years.

Hopefully Sonny will have a s/l outside of Will. Didn't JA say during the DR's Day of Days interviews that he'll be working with Freddie more. Maybe Victor will get involved in the current s/l.

They should really make either Will or Sonny more dark. They had plenty of opportunities for Sonny to embrace his Kiriakisness more, but since they didn't and he's this overall good guy, I'm not sure it would be plausible anymore as much. And Will was excellent as the Son of Sami when he was working with EJ, but then the writers changed and that was dropped. And now there's a new Guy in the role, and not sure what to think. The best bet they might have is to now get the Gabi storyline over with and have them marry, and THEN once the dust is settled and they've had their honeymoon and Sami hs left, say in about next winter, they could have Sonny join his family and become darker and more broody, with Will not being pleased about it. There has to be some darkness and broodyness more in this couple.

That's part of the problem with couples. For instance, I find Marlena (when she's there!) a heck of a lot more interesting when she's Mama Bear in protective mode. I'm loving Hope with her cop skills (although I was a big Bope fan). I even really like Nicole with Daniel in detective mode, as long as there's no romance. I love Ericole as well, but too much of that is like too much sugar, and my teeth will fall out.
Heck, I even like Sami out of EJ's range, like with Sami and Kate. The writers NEED to show more of these dynamics. It's not healthy in real life for someone to be so obsessed with a partner sans other people in their lives, and in my opinion, it's not healthy for a TV show, either. And couples need that support,as well as people in their lives who are NOT supportive. It's a nice balance.

So I got curious about what was said about Ejabby in Soap Digest and Im not for sure if we are allowed to share here what was said in the mag but here goes...

"Some people are gonna have to pay the piper here, but that wont happen for awhile. You dont cheat on your finance or cheat with someone else fiance and get away with it. Abigail isn't willing to let Ej go without a FIGHT, and Abigail and Ej still cant seem to stay away from each other. Shes pushing this and we want the audience to be throwing their sandwich at the set saying "What are you doing" This is gonna leave massive repercussions. This match has lit a fuse here with these two crossing the line.

And the WilSon fans...

"Will and Sonny make an important decision about their future. Its the next step. I'm excited about it. Meanwhile Gabi's own future starts to look very bleak"

***There are big things happening in February that will affect the next six months. Corday says**

So Ej getting a kick ass front burner story equates to him being Corday's punching bag?? I would think someone like KA, BD, MA, would be better definitions of his punching bags than anything Ej has experienced. Getting a story even if some fans don't like what it is doesn't necessarily mean that he's Corday's punching bag if anything it proves that Corday likes the character as he's been written in front burner story lines non freaking stop since 2006.

EJ's been Corday's punching bag from the time he started. Everything's EJ's fault even when it isn't. It's so predictable! Sorry, just the way I see it, as you can tell, I'm a huge EJ fan. EJ has never won in any storylines and I hate that.
