I just wanted to say that I've enjoyed reading the discussion (re: Abby, etc) -- since around page 12 of this thread up til now. Thank you all So many of you have fascinating insights and opinions about the characters and the writing -- about what the show has implied, what was swept under the rug, what was thrown in our faces, and also ... what each of you as viewers guesses/interprets. I appreciate the multi-layered discussion. Edited by nananana7, Feb 4 2014, 01:09 AM.

Obviously I'm not esp, but speaking for myself, I mean, I think Sami's pretty stupid too, and I've never been an EJ/Sami fan and never understood how Sami got over what EJ did to her. It's just pointless to talk about it on the board all the time because EJami is one of those hot button issues that never end well in conversation. The one thing I'd add is that Sami has always, apart from this bizarre promotion she got to CEO, been played as not very smart. She has a base cunning for sure, but she is notoriously stupid in other ways, and -- I say this with a weird sort of hate bordering on love -- it's kind of part of her charm. Watching her mess up and then manage to keep on going. Sami's always been a train wreck. From what I can tell Abby is supposed to be the brightest witch of her age or something, but she just comes across like a ninny fool to me. When Sami plays with fire she owns it. Abby meanwhile is fighting her supposed better judgment all the way (and that's part of the allure of EJ/Abby -- it's so dangerous and wrong and we all know it! But she can't say no!! etc). And even if she overcomes that, the whole "My family doesn't approve" plotline is not one of my personal favorites. Right now I feel like the guy Abby's actually a perfect match for is Brady, they both have a knack for awful sex life decisions. |

I agree. I also want to add that several of the people involved in this conversation would make and have made similar arguments about Sami when it comes to her involvement with EJ. But ultimately I don't buy that Abby is ignorant of EJ's past. She was around for a lot of it, and none of it aside from what he did to John a couple of years ago is really a secret. Not to mention, her dialogue about him being a bad man is pretty much based on it, and she's been talking about the DiMeras since THE DAY she came back to town. I also want to emphasize that while this is a prevalent issue with EJ right now, it's not solely an EJ issue. Sami is apparently "friends" with people who should be punching her in the face every chance they get. Nicole got invited to the freaking book club. Stefano eats in the pub. Kate isn't particularly hated around town. People have amnesia about Nick. Jennifer still considers Kristen a friend. Yeah, yeah it's a soap, but it would be a much better soap if they would address all these things and allow these people to have feelings about each other and conflicts with each other that actually make sense based on history. This whole, "you're a judgmental hypocrite for not smiling sweetly at a person who has MAJORLY wronged you" thing the show has had going for so long really handicaps the potential for drama. |

I can see EJ taking on JJ's case because he is Abigail's brother and he probably wants to be a hero for the woman he respects or loves or wants to string along. Is Aiden a lawyer? I missed that part. He looks like one, but everyone who wears a suit everyday does. |

Fan of EJ+ABBY!

*Sighs*, why can't he get a hair cut? It isn't very flattering at the moment. Makes him and hence EJ look older than what he really is. I am at his age range, I would have totally done so. :whistle: |

Flirty/smitten EJ and Abby.So cute.Now,off to the shower.Supergirl,I am starting to agree with you.I really want to know how EJ and Abby get out of the shower without Sami finding out they were both in it.Also starting to wonder how Abby and EJ get from Sonny/Will/Gabi apartment and the mansion to the shower. |

Love the fact that Nick is outsmarting Kate,EJ,and Sami who have been scheming a lot longer than he.Every conversation with anyone has a needle in it somewhere.I hope he somehow gets to stay in Salem.I really love BB as Nick. |

How is she stupid for not knowing something she has not been shown to have been told? I would agree that the writers might be stupid for not writing that she was told but I don't see the character is stupid because she does not know something the writers have not had other characters tell her.Hope,Julie,Maggie,Abby,and Jennifer are not stupid because no one told them about Nick's homophobia and blackmailing of Will.I don't agree that Abby is stupid because Steve.Kayla,Stephanie,and Adrienne are not shown to have told her what EJ did to them. |

I don't think the writers see it as a problem because quite a few viewers,myself included,do not know what happened in the past when the characters were on.I watched the show off an on in a very superficial way before 2009 so a lot of the information about the characters is new even though I knew of their existence.Because of that its easier for me to enjoy the show as it is currently being written.DR poster are way different from a lot of other sites I see.When you have people posting who remember sheets and wardrobe from ten to twenty years ago,you have a high bar to clear in keeping characters consistent.I bet there are quite a few posters here who know the show and its characters as well as or better than KC. |

With character like ej with stuff he done the only person he can friends it Stefano .even lexie ej beloved sister he pretty much responsibe for death since he order to take care herand that put her in tunnels which cause years later to her cancer despite the writers try to rewriting it make it been Andre or Stefano which pretty impossible at the time. Look at ej close family without Stefano if you consider Sami and the kids as ej family Sami the woman he raped let her think her baby is dead let psyco to pretend to be husband and I can go on about Sami. But this the highlights of the worse he done to Sami Johny-ej son that born from the rape.told in past to crying Johnny his mom does not love him Sydney-his daughter he kidnapped her and let mom think she dead Alliehis fiance daughter.he used allie to the all fake rafe thing and put her in danger with fake rafe Will-his fiance son.wrecking lucas and sami relationship with will many years want parents to together that should have ej in Will hate list.aside of all the bad stuff done to Sami. There also of ej trying to kill Lucas.ej threaten more than once to hurt will to Sami and even consider to do something to will until Stefano talk him out of it.will hate ej enough to shoot him but will hate to ej now disappeared And they other people in Sami family ej hurt that would add up |

Welcome to the discussion.I laughed at the everyone who wears a suit everyday looks like a lawyer because it's true.They are lawyers or some kind of business tycoon. There is so much new stuff going on I can't recall clearly.I think a spoiler before he showed up on screen indicated that Aiden is a lawyer.Makes sense that they would make him an attorney so there would more opportunites for contact/conflict given that Hope is a police officer. |

That might work for you, but many of us can't accept either, and therein lies the problem. |
