I'm watching today's epi and my mom (who doesn't watch the show) just asked me why EJ was being scary with his daughter. |

That's because Salem is now JenWorld. Sometime while they were sleeping, the diverse citizens of Salem surrendered their intelligence and independent interests and became JenPeople. They still go about their own complicated daily lives...but their common, overriding goal now is to make sure that Jen gets all that Jen wants.. and that she remains completely happy with her desired consort Daniel, who is the most wonderful man in JenWorld, as long as he attends most dutifully to its queen in the manner that she dictates. Those few Salem subversives and nonbelievers who remain are handled in various ways in JenWorld: entreated to see the light, ostracized while they are obstructive, shamed by the bad consequences of their failure to conform, banished from the realm, or, for the truly incorrigible, identified and eliminated as the psychopaths they have shown themselves to be. And that's just the way it works now in JenWorld. :blink: |

I agree. Chandler was great in the dramatic scenes and I totally enjoyed WilSon when they were friends and eventually a couple. But the final 6 Months he was on (July through December) I felt he was not really enjoying the story and was just "there" putting in his time. He was blowing lines and sighing a lot and just did not seem interested. So by the time Guy started I was very pleased with how excited he seemed to be in the role. He and Freddie just seemed to click right away. And I really can tell a difference in his acting since he started. I feel that he has made Will a more mature and complex character. I do agree with others that Guy seems more comfortable in the intimate scenes with Freddie's Sonny and they seem natural and playful in the way they interact with each other. I am not sure how comfortable he is with the little girls who play Ariana as we have not really had many scenes with just the two of them. Chandler always seemed very comfortable in his interactions with the baby but I read somewhere that he took time off set to be with the girls and spend time with them for the girls to get used to him. I do not know how much time Guy spends with the girls off set if at all so not sure what kind of relationship they have established. I think Freddie has become very comfortable with them and seems to be doing a great job with them as well. |

I didn't think Hope was such a badass with EJ. I think she used up all her antagonism with Will. She was tougher and colder to Will than she was with EJ. But I get that because she's freshly grieving for Nick and is probably little bit angry with Will. |

Why does everyone in Salem believe that a custody fight that hasn't even began is a motive to murder someone? And they don't even know about the blackmail. Why do they believe Will would've lost custody to his daughter and with such restricted visitation? |

I think she was probably harder on Will because she sensed he wasn't being completely truthful with him. When it came to EJ, it was all about trying to get the info from him without getting played by him or believing some piece of fiction EJ was pulling out of his ass as he talked. Is Hope's familial relation to Nick and the fact that she's grieving his death playing a part in how she's coming across during her interviews? Of course. Her extra toughness is a defense. She has to look professional. |

Chandler was quiet and shy at first but he seemed to grow more confident with the material he was given and he grew into a fine actor within the first year. The more dramatic material seemed to be challenging for him and he really did a great job with it. Of course there was the fluff stuff (summer beach beefcake stories) with no substance to it so he was not really challenged by it. But the stuff with shooting EJ and the blackmail/working for EJ and the coming out storylines is where he really shined. |

Nick's involvement in the custody suit was the source of Will & Sonny's current anger towards Nick. And Sonny admitted to Hope that anger was a natural response when Nick was around, while Will admitted to Hope that he had gotten into a fight with Nick & even threatened his life. So it's not the custody agreement so much as it is Nick's involvement in the happenings in the Gabi/Will/Sonny household. I don't think people believe that Will would've lost custody. But both Will & Sonny are trying to make it clear that Nick was trying to basically shut Will (& Sonny by extension) out of Ari's life. |

I agree with you. I also think it's hard for her to suspect Will. I am sure she loves him and it's hard on her to be put in this position but she might be thinking she's the best person to investigate this, although I don't agree. It's interesting that Hope was easier and gentler with Sonny than Will. Maybe because she believes Will is a hothead while Sonny is more rational, so she took different tacktic with each based on their personality. I thought both EJ and Will told unnecessary lies. EJ could've said that he went to see Nick about the custody. As Will's lawyer he was trying to reason with Nick or something like that. I think Will lied because he's trying to protect Sonny. Maybe he wants to make himself a suspect to take attention away from Sonny. |

I don't think she was really gentler or easier on Sonny. She was pretty annoyed with him as well. He wasn't exactly giving her straight answers and he was even trying to avoid some questions. I think she's frustrated with both of them because she wants to eliminate them as suspects, but the answers they're giving and what they're saying to her (and somewhat what they're not saying) isn't giving her the reassurance that they didn't shoot Nick. |

You can hate someone and be angry with them but that doesn't mean you'll kill them. If Hope found out about the blackmail stuff then yes, that gives them strong motivation. But all she has right now is Nick involving himself with a custody battle his involvement would've actually made Gabi's case less favorable. So, why would they think Will or Sonny would be so desperate to eliminate Nick. It's just too flimsy. And that's why I found Marlena's declaration that Will has a strong motive to kill Nick, really ridiculous. Unless, she knows about the blackmail stuff which I doubt. |

Not to mention that certain other actors didn't seem to have this issue when first starting. Take Casey Moss, for example. Sure his character has been ruined by the forced worship of the Orange Shrine, but he jumped into his very first acting job as though he was a seasoned pro....a complete natural, who instantly came across as a very real person, not a stiff-as-a-board mannequin posing and mugging for the camera so hard that spitting his lines out comes across an afterthought. GW always seems like he is more concerned with how he is going to look onscreen than he is with the delivery of his lines. And it comes across that he is reciting memorized lines, very unnatural.....and that is NOT good acting ETA: and while I agree with james that the recast could have been worse, I think it certainly could have been a hell of alot better. I completely relate to Lil about Guy ruining Will for me. I just don't like him, and that IS a damn shame, because I love the character and was invested in him and his relationships until Guy came along :-/ (and it probably doesn't help any that I don't find him remotely attractive either, lol) Edited by specialcases, May 15 2014, 11:55 PM.

I thought the Ejabby affair was hot but I didnīt found them hot on thursdayīs show. I donīt see how it can be hot when Abby is being scared of him, and Iīm not sure if I liked EJ in those scenes or if he was creepy. In JS interview before it didnīt make sense when he talked about staying close to Abby just so he could controll her but he did it in these scenes. I did like the EJ in the Elope scenes though. |

You are correct. They aren't related at all. This whole misunderstanding started when the discussion speculated that ThePowersThatBe might be heading towards a Jen/Eric pairing. Someone wondered if they were cousins. (It was clarified they are NOT cousins). Someone wished for something -- anything -- to prevent any JenEric pairing, because a JenEric pairing sounds blah. Someone mentioned a *wishful* thinking that *if* they were cousins, they couldn't be paired. But unfortunately they are NOT cousins, so therefore unfortunately TPTB *could* pair them. The poster went on to point out ... that Jen and Eric are in different generations. Therefore, it would be weird to pair Jen and Eric, based on generational difference.. And emphasized they are NOT related. However, meanwhile, someone else quoted an earlier post which included the incorrect mention of cousins ... and then that got requoted in a series of nested quotes -- meanwhile other members continued pointing out they are NOT cousins, but the series of nested quotes kept getting repeated as other parts of the episode got mentioned ... and yet others replying they are NOT cousins. Etc. etc. etc. Repeat: Jen and Eric are not cousins. Not related! Not at all ! Edited by nananana7, May 16 2014, 04:33 AM.
