There's no need for curtains, it can be done but Nicole Walker (this sounds funny) is right there was a reason for it, it was for the sake of the "story".
As we've seen over and over again, it is plot point over common sense, character traits, written or spoken history, etc. That's what is so irritating about this show so much of the time. And like the messy semi-wet hair wasn't a giveaway to start with.
That why i loate ej and sami couple since the show leaving out sami own history and her character traits,and basic common sense just to put sami with ej.

ej and abby does not bother me since ej is not written consistent and pretty much written mess as character since nothing consistent and while abby as character is not really shape yet and still in process of it

The reason I fell inlove with Ejami in the first place was the actors chemistry and cosplay, but also because of Sami´s history EJ reminded me of Sami, his obsession with her reminded me of her obsession with Austin and him constantly doing bad things reminded me of sami constanly scheming and lying. So I think what attractived Ejami to one an other is that they reminded each other of them self.

Sami is pretty much consistent with being an idiot. Then again it wouldn't be Sami if she didn't do something stupid all the time. As far as looks, she's average but what she doesn't have in looks should be made up else where and it just isn't. Just not believable, I couldn't even understand why Rafe wanted her now that was a WTF for sure.
If you ask me everyone on this show is an idiot or incompetent at what they do. To give an example, Hope is supposedly a kick ass detective yet, doctor magnificent and Nicole are investigating her case. She deemed the trail cold two days after Kristen went missing. I don't know what she's doing but last time she was interviewing Nicole, Daniel and Eric, then she just dropped the case. Now, all she does it feud with a hot single dad about two little kids fighting. Hope is not investigating because it does not help with the plot. That makes the entire SPD bunch of morons.

In short every character makes moronic decisions when the s/l necessitates. I could list so many examples but it will take all morning. Sami is not different. She's at least self aware about her impetuousness. Actually that's one of her charming character traits.

Again, looks are subjective so I'll leave it at that.
Exactly. That's why I think this soap is silly in between. And now back to the characters, I find it extremely difficult to see that a man like EJ would be interested in a silly whiny girl like Abby, if one should talk about the mismatch then definitely this pair a fail for me. and I find it ridiculous, maybe it's just that that's the problem that I can not buy any attraction or desire between the characters. And it has nothing to do with the actors.
To make this even worse, we're supposed to believe that EJ puts family loyalty ahead of everything to the point that he puts his loyalty to Kristen above his relationship with his fiancé and the mother of his children, yet, he has no loyalty to Chad (who risked his life for him), that he'll sleep with the girl he loved without any thought about how his actions affect Chad and his relationship with him. Not to mention, the girl who agonized over Chad's supposed lie and felt so strongly about it that she dumbed him when he was about to go into a risky surgery is not bothered by lying and deceiving everyone. The shower scene was so crazy in so many ways, I am still reeling from it. When Sami showed up and they talked about their business, fights, their child and his game, Abby was confronted with EJ's relationship yet she didn't feel the slightest shame or guilt. Instead, she declared that she's not sorry and she wants to do it again. Are you kidding me? Who are you Abby?

I am not one of those people who think people cannot have an affair if they're not in love or have feelings for the person. I actually think someone can be madly in love with one person and easily have sex with another person. I also believe that people can be driven to out of character actions, like one night stands when distressed or dealing with traumatic events but this is a full blown affair. Abby should be thinking about the ramifications more. She cannot call Theresa a slut for supposedly sleeping with the very single Dr. Dan, yet have an affair with a man in a serious relationship (with a woman who happens to be her cousins' mom) and not feel the slightest guilt or shame. Just not believable!
yeah absolutely agree with you :) I would say that writers fail to write believable in this sl and the actors are really trying to sell this crap, but the story is too thin and has lot of holes, and the characters are unrecognizable, so it all just becomes a mess.

meanwhile Sami dashed out of her apartment and across the hall to knock on EJ's door and ask for the wrench.

So that's how EJ first met Sami, dripping wet and scantily clad. EJ was bemused and entranced. But I don't think he thought of her as sporting a hooker look. He was simply bemused and entranced.

I had never seen this episode until last night. I was surprised at how Abby's appearance after the shower sex with damp hair and scantily clad ... seemed to be a "reflection" of Sami's situation.

i think you confuse lucas with austin .lucas only show up later with carrie.it was austin with the leak and all and the wrench.

Yes. You're right of course. What a dork I am. How embarrassing.

Sami was living with Austin, her fiance at the time, and Austin lends the wrench to EJ. Lucas is not in this clip.

In my defense, I plead that I was watching Days youtubes for hours and the Lucas/Austin/Sami/Carrie quad is so weird anyhow that it scrambled my brain.

So now that I've had some sleep, I re-watched the episode. It starts out with Sami and Austin returning from somewhere. Perhaps there was a gym and sauna in the apartment building? Sami is clearly wearing a bathing suit underneath the sheer coverup. Not a bra and panties.

But anyhow, the essential is the same. Sami is damp and scantily clad, and EJ is bemused.
It's apples and oranges, The differences are location and situation.

To be completely frank, while I know the actors certainly must have a preference of who they play scenes with, I really couldn't care less about their opinion on the topic. They're paid to craft characters and bring a writer's words to life on the screen. If they have a preference of a screen partner, I, as a viewer, should never be aware of it.

When it becomes obvious that an actor has a preference, you get situations like with Tony Geary over on GH and his tendency to phone in scenes with those who aren't on his "I wanna play with these people" list. Some of the demands he's rumored to have made have gridlocked stories involving Luke for years now, and his personal take on Luke the character has pretty much ruined any chance of me caring at all about him. No thank you.

So basically, I don't really care who James Scott's preferred acting partners are. He's paid to make sure I never know, and it's really for the best that way.
Can I say how much I LOVE this post?!

I completely disagree. I think the story is meant to come out of nowhere but affairs happen out of the blue too. It's a mixture of several things. Ejami's issue isn't boiled down to EJ sleeping with Abby. Their multiple issues are piled up a big stack of pile of crap that fans are supposed to "let go". I realize that EJabby wouldn't be for everybody, their relationship is more taboo in that classic and soapy way, not because the fans are supposed to pretend rape, kidnapping, rape by proxy and head shootings didn't happen.

KM and JS have chemistry or the writers wouldnt have put them in so many sex scenes. Also they are bringing it in every scene or you wouldnt have so much talk of it. I still don't think either of them are in love right now. It's clear that Abby is in full mode lust but you can't blame her for it since EJ not only has met her every step of the way, he's pushed for it too

As for Ejami, they suck to me. I know that snot everyones opinion but I was thrilled to see JS given a chance to act something DIFFERENT than this tired ass storyline of his "Samantha" who on her better days expects him to clean up her shit and on her worse days blames him for all the crimes against her family. As for EJ, at least the show has finally made it completely clear that the cheater is capable of cheating on Sami which IMO gives yet one more factual evidence that it is not love he has for her but obsession but in his Dimera raised mind, he doesn't know the difference.

And if Ejabby is over (please God don't throw Abigail's character under the bus when it's been EJ happily cheating with her practically in Sami's face) then I will at least have one thing to look forward to and that's when those Ejabby pictures get released and hopefully Ejami will go the way of the dodo.

Thank god AS is leaving.

YES... I forgot BB. He for sure has the "it" factor as an actor. I don't think he even falls into the younger crowd as much though because he can really hold his own with the middle age crowd like Sami, Ej, Kate, Rafe, Lucas, etc.

i thought ej chose to keep kristen secret because stefano and becasue sami thought of moving because of the shooting that was abd he barley convice her to stay and for bonus he get payback of nicole that hid she was carring his chlid and him hide the kristen secret nicole get screw over and everyone will think nicole raped eric had now he hide it like he always did when caught on lie

not because loyalty ej never been the loyal guy to anyone.
abby tend to critize abby of how she treated chad and camron people tend to forget
the first time she date chad and later camron she behave diffrently
it chad and camron that screw up
I do not feel bad on Cameron or Chad that Abby kinda Set them to compete
Chad started falling for Melanie while being with Abby and Abby is the broke off when she stop feeling the same to Chad something Chad did not do.Chad was engaged to Melanie and would be still with her if Melanie did not dump him.which make Abby is default
And later when they got close and she ask Chad to her date he use that to get back at Gabi
While Cameron dump Abby when she did not sleep with him and very fast dated someone else.
None of chad or Cameron should in position to complain they have to compete it never would happen if they did not break up the first time with Abby in their own damm fault

people tend to forgot abby is lucas niece she have no reason feeling bad doing something that might break up ej and sami



i confess not really ej fan some will disagree my take on ej

but i give you example on hookup that both out of character lucas and chloe.lucas written since the day phillp born very close to him it was not really believable to lucas to hook up with brother first love and his latest sex buddy.and chloe it not person to sleep with someone she barley knew.and what annoyed most of it they became couple off screen only because they writers remove of them of the orbit phillp and sami.and later they stay couple only to use as angst to chloe pair with daniel.while lucas only thing he did that storyline treted chloe nicely while she think of daniel and the same time new man brought to sami orbit as love interest and treated like father to all sami children include lucas children his name was rafe and lucas most of his scenes than of how clueless he does not know about chloe cheating

when lucas and chloe done.lucas was the town joke and still got blame being cheat on and depite he did nothing wrong while everyone embarce chloe and daniel .and few months later lucas move to china and only really fully came back in 2012

ICAM!! Ejami is so contrived it's ridiculous. First off, EJ is way above Sami in looks, smarts, and sense. All he's become in this relationship is her clean up man and lap dog. Rafe and Lucas have cleaned up her messes and now EJ has fallen into the same trap. Very sad, glad he cheated on her about time he did something right. Get yours EJ and let Abby ride it until she can't ride it no more cause she loves it! :blulaugh:
As they say beauty is in the eyes of the beholder. Personally, I think Sami is gorgeous. As for the other stuff, non of them have smarts or sense unless the s/l requires it.

I can't stand Sami, but I think Ali/Sami is a very beautiful woman. In fact, DAYS has a cast of very beautiful women.
To me the actresses who play Chloe, Nicole, Hope, Jordan and Gabi are who I would class as very beautiful women. Sami is attractive, she has nice eyes but, I would not look at her and say, what a beautiful woman.

Last night, I was watching Days clips from the summer of 2006. I stumbled across the video of when EJ first met Sami.

EJ had moved into the same apartment building and was living across the hall.

EJ knocked on the door and asked to borrow a wrench.

Meanwhile ... Sami was in her bathroom, <snip> And then the shower started spraying or the bathroom was flooding or something.
<snip>
Not sure of the exact sequence, but at any rate, she hastily emerged from the bathroom thus scantily clad and also damp, with wet hair, all distraught. Her sheer robe was open in the front, making her colored bra and her bare midriff very obvious. And you could see through the robe anyhow.

She exclaimed about the plumbing emergency and was looking for the wrench. Lucas correction:AUSTIN said he'd just given the wrench to EJ. Sami sent Lucas correction:AUSTIN into the bathroom to try to stop the leak as best he could with his bare hands, while meanwhile Sami dashed out of her apartment and across the hall to knock on EJ's door and ask for the wrench.

So that's how EJ first met Sami, dripping wet and scantily clad. EJ was bemused and entranced. But I don't think he thought of her as sporting a hooker look. He was simply bemused and entranced.

I had never seen this episode until last night. I was surprised at how Abby's appearance after the shower sex with damp hair and scantily clad ... seemed to be a "reflection" of Sami's situation.

I thought they had just came back from the pool in the building.

I didn't think anything of it at the time but yes, it is a bit tacky and Sami can be tacky to go to a new neighbor's house in your bathing suit and swim suit cover but I think it was a bit of an urgent matter.

Feb 9 2014, 11:20 AM

It's apples and oranges, The differences are location and situation.

Yes I agree that Sami's situation was far more urgent -- her shower was rapidly flooding. And also she was dressed appropriately for having just returned from sauna/beach/pool/whatever.

Based on the *situations*, Sami and Abby were drastically different. But I wasn't comparing the situations. (I can see why you might have thought that was my point, but it wasn't)

I was noticing the similarities of the *visual appearance* of the women -- and the visual appearance of the smirk on EJ.

That is how the theory of "Reflections" works. Scenes may have some similar essence, to remind you of prior scenes -- yet all of the elements don't have exact correspondences -- in fact, many of the elements are very different or twisted or even opposite.

Also, another thing I forgot to mention: EJ answered the door dressed only in a towel, and Sami was there damp and scantily clad wearing a colored bra with her midriff showing and her hair wet -- asking for the wrench, and EJ was bemused, and then his towel dropped and he was still bemused.

That whole *visual picture* to me -- indicated to me that the Abby shower scene was a twisted "Reflection" of the Sami-meets-EJ scene.


Halloween Family
Feb 9 2014, 11:04 AM
Actually the shower scene reminded me of Kate and EJ getting it on and Sami coming by to apologize for Lucas wrecking their date. Sami had wet hair. There was also the other time Ej was banging Kate in his apartment and Sami found the monogramed bra, Kate's that is.

Yes that is example of another variation of the "Reflections" theory. Something reminds you of something else -- it could be visual, it could be situational. Something reminds you of something else -- even if it is not exactly the same. It is a *feeling* you get.

The thing they haven't managed to find are the great beauties that Julie, Marlena, Hope, Anna, etc. from back in the day. Kinda like the women from the James Bond films. Maybe it's a glamor thing.
This I totally agree with. Maybe that's not supposed to be a thing anymore, but none of the main females on this show still have that look, and for me that was a big draw. If I wanted to watch plain people, I'd look out my window. When they do cast women who fit that description, they keep them in the background. I'm not saying I think the actresses on Days are ugly, but they're definitely missing a factor that for me was what made soap characters stand out. There's glamour and class missing, IMO.

Abby's immaturity or whatever is the least of the believability issues ejabby has. If EJ can fall for a woman 15 years older than Abby with those same qualities, falling for a younger version isn't a stretch. I have a harder time seeing why Abby would fall for him based on her characterization up to this point.

I am talking mainly about their looks and not their personalities, or whether they have screen presence. Out of my list of beautiful women on the show, I think Hope, Nicole, and Chloe has screen presence. Chloe might not be the best actress but it is hard for her to fade in the background when she is on.
I like the actress that plays Sheryl personality a lot more than Jordan's but Sheryl I would call a very attractive woman.

I agree that Jordan is very bland, but I disagree about Sami having magnetism. There is not much I find attractive about the Sami character. I don't like to watch her, she annoys me too much.

I don´t think it just about Abby being naiv but also that she is to much of a good girl for EJ where as Sami has a bad side and therefore more EJ´s type, but I think it´s possible for a person to fall for different types and sometimes opposite attracts, and Abby is hot and willing where as Sami is giving him the cold shoulder so I can see why he would be interested in her, but I´m not sure whether or not they would work in a real relationship or if EJ would have to change to much.

As for Abby it looks like she has fallen more for EJ´s dick than for EJ so far, but she has seen a little bit of EJ´s bad side aswell and so far she seems to like it.

Actually the shower scene reminded me of Kate and EJ getting it on and Sami coming by to apologize for Lucas wrecking their date. Sami had wet hair. There was also the other time Ej was banging Kate in his apartment and Sami found the monogramed bra, Kate's that is.

Yes that is example of another variation of the "Reflections" theory. Something reminds you of something else -- it could be visual, it could be situational. Something reminds you of something else -- even if it is not exactly the same. It is a *feeling* you get.

Yup I totally agree and it's part of the reason why it makes me upset. It was the same thing with EJaylor. In the early EJami days, Ej was a sniffer, there's a scene where he had just gotten done being a fuck face to Sami, making her cry. He wiped her tears with his hanky. When he left, he stood out her door and sniffed the hanky longingly. With Ejaylor they turned it into a joke. The same thing with EJ and Taylor on the opposite sides of the door to her room when she was living at the mansion, Ejami had done something similar.


I also had a bit of "reflection" (not sure the right way to use this word, lol) at the christening. The scene between Ej and Hope had just a twinge of the same psychoticEJ back in 2007 between Ejami at the church where he spoke of "the product of their unholy union". This was a pleasant "reflection".

As I said subjective. I pick Sami over Jordan any day. Sami has magnetism. Jordan is pretty but very bland. She can easily blend in with the furniture. While Sami has presence. You cannot miss her when she's in a room.
Of course you can't miss her, there's no way to miss the bull in the china shop!

"Blends in with furniture" YES!!! To me there is a lot more that goes into making a person attractive than physicality. Edward Norton in Fight Club was a good example of this.

I've seen Alison Sweeney in person, once out and about with no makeup and the other time all made up at a DoD event. In both cases, she was stunning.

The thing they haven't managed to find are the great beauties that Julie, Marlena, Hope, Anna, etc. from back in the day. Kinda like the women from the James Bond films. Maybe it's a glamor thing.
This I totally agree with. Maybe that's not supposed to be a thing anymore, but none of the main females on this show still have that look, and for me that was a big draw. If I wanted to watch plain people, I'd look out my window. When they do cast women who fit that description, they keep them in the background. I'm not saying I think the actresses on Days are ugly, but they're definitely missing a factor that for me was what made soap characters stand out. There's glamour and class missing, IMO.

When I was younger, the glamor and beauty hooked me. I still cannot believe people were into the stories, I thought they were lame. lol I may have not liked Marlena or Jennifer but they would still managed to enthrall me with their beauty. That sounds weird, I know.lol

"When they do cast women who fit that description, they keep them in the background." What and who do you mean?
