I'm, like, 103% positive that was a sarcastic comment. And I'm also 103% positive that when that poster initially reads that I have said that, their first instinct will be to sarcastically deny it.
If I sarcastically deny it, it will be 103 x's more confusing, lol. I had to read your post 103 times to understand it correctly.

Concerned and BeeBee-

Tripp said that if Ejabby didn't have any chemistry the writers wouldn't be putting them in so many sex scene. I was flabbergasted that she wrote that because MOST of the time they DONT care if the couple has chemistry as evidenced by Dannifer. Of course all this is subjective on Tripp's end and mine. Just cuz I don't think Ejabby and Dannifer have chemistry doesn't mean there aren't a ton of people who think they do. IMO, Ejabby are on screen because James played EJ flirting with her a year ago and James has been delivering the sex like a mail man which in not the same as chemistry which again is my personal opinion. Is that clear? Sorry for the confusion.
So since you pointed me out, I do think the writers believe they have chemistry and it's evidence by the sheer amount of sex scenes they have been given (Ejabby). They have had more onscreen sex this year than a lot of the established couples did all of last year. To me, that says the writers and TPTB think KM and JS are hot together. That's all I meant by that. I know chemistry is subjective. I certainly have felt Ejami have been lacking chemistry for years now but TPTB think they have it too, otherwise they still wouldn't be together.
Personally, I don't think they put EJami together because they thought they had so much chemistry to ignore. I think there were other factors. I don't think they saw James and Kate do the cabin scene and said "gee these two killed it, let's give them some more". I would think all the sex would already be predetermined and hopefully they work otherwise Oh well. I don't think it's any deeper than throwing spagetthi at the wall.

but wait up...I think what Tripp was trying to get at is that they have put Ejabby in about 70 sexual situations in a month and the scenes are all racy. Dannifer hasn't shared sex scenes in ages and when they did they weren't as explicit as Ejabby...if anything I think what Tripp said makes absolute sense..it's not about the show choosing chemistry over anything else sometimes....they obviously miss the mark more times than I can count and we have Dannifer, Safe, Lucloe to prove it...but going back to what she was trying to get at, I can see how the show did it before with Chloe and Dan....remember their sex scenes? Yeah...borderline pornish if you ask me...if they didn't think Ejabby or Danloe has hot sexual chemistry they would have done a one night stand and be done with both stories....they would have achieved the goal they were getting at with breaking up the actual couples but without the need to showcase the sex scenes that much.
Well, of course the writers think they have chemistry, or the story wouldn't be happening. At least some of the writers also think all those terrible couples had wonderful love stories, too. Ejabby are having an affair. They're not being sold as soulmates, and affairs on soaps = racy sex scenes.
And the only thing they share is sex, so that will be all you will see.

Yep. Things could change in the future, but right now they're FWB at best, and even the "friend" part is stretching it.

They're in a mutually beneficial physical relationship with a small fondness of each other on a non-physical level.

I don't think the writers have a clue about chemistry. I've seen them put too many WTF couples together to believe otherwise.

They nailed it with Ejabby. Ask me last year if these two would have hot sex scenes and I would think you were crazy but I had to see it to believe it. My goodness, never did I think these two would have so much heat!

oh, I don't think I ever claimed they were being portrayed as soul mates or in love...they are fucking, and they are enjoying it and they really don't seem to be caring about anyone else while they are fucking...and that is just fine by me. If the show decides to go on and make the a true love story later, then at the very least they have this 'history'....lol

I don't find them entertaining. Can there be a place for dysfunctional couples on TV? Possibly. But I don't think soap operas are necessarily a good vehicle for it and Days isn't doing EJami any favors.

Seriously??

IMO, soaps were built around dysfunctional couples. Even the best ones were full of dysfunction. Luke & Laura, Carl & Rachel, Jake & Vicky, Jack & Jen, Steve & Kayla, Sonny & Brenda, the list goes on & on. All thes couples had dysfunction of some form. But I loved them & rooted for them to be together despite it.

As for Ejami. I'm not loving them right now. Personally,I'd like to poke EJ's eyes out with a fork & smack Samii around a little bit but that's not going to make me suddenly like a pairing that makes no sense to me & Ejabby makes zero sense IMO.
No, I disagree too. Luke and Laura, due to the times, it was not seen as rape. (I hate that too, just for the record). He "seduced her". Now I won't get into Sonny & Brenda, I don't know all their history and you are right, that probably is a dysfunctional couple but GH is known for putting their mobsters on pedestals. Days prefers their heroes to be heroes and most of the villains in the past get redeemed with their new love story. Ej is an exception which sadly makes his story harder to take.

Steve and Kayla, Carl & Rachel, Jack & Jennifer all started out as a "bad man" but were redeemed primarily through their love for the woman. (Some other contributing factors helped in some cases but in general). Now those couples there were mistakes made and problems arose, but after the couplings were established, none of the couples intentionally tried to hurt their SO. For years Ejami have done terrible things together.

Now maybe one could argue that Ejami are through hurting each other to such extremes. Ej's cheating is the worse it gets. Fine. Still, they don't treat each other well IMO and I think the show would be better off saying so instead of trying to pretend everything will eventually work out.
I'd rather my husband cheat on me than get his dad to create a faux lover for me.

No, I'm not saying I think you think they have something deeper. My point is that they didn't sleep together more than once because the show saw chemistry in their first cabin scene and decided to capitalize on it. They had more than one racy scene because that's the only thing the story is about.

I agree. The story, in and of itself, is written to be tawdry and shocking. I didn't really find the cabin scenes to be all that over the top or shocking...the only slightly OTT bit there was the way Abby leapt on him for round 2 but it didn't show much beyond that. The shower scene was definitely pushing boundaries but I think that's the whole point.

I don't believe chemistry is what is driving the story to continue because these scenes were written closely enough together that it was a done deal whether TPTB ended up thinking they have good chemistry or not. Chemistry is so completely subjective that I'm really not sure they pay all that much attention to whether pairings have it or not with this warp speed shooting schedule. Gone are the days where audience reaction to a new pairing might dictate whether it's further explored or not. These days, once they think it up in the writing room it's a done deal whether the audience embraces it or not. :shrug:
