Hope is doing a great job with all her interviews. She had EJ on the ropes a bit when he thought she had pictures of him with Abigail but he rebounded quickly once he saw the pictures. But I loved Hope's tactic of not saying much thus leading EJ to make assumptions he probably never should have and say more than he really had to.

I so saw this when Hope asked EJ what they had argued about, and EJ asked how did she know they argued. Hope just kept quiet, which made him guess she had a source and he ended up trying to explain why he and Nick were arguing. Of course, when she was not able to call him out on his lie it was obvious that she had no proof they had argued.

Ugh, so many annoying people in Salem.

Could EJ be more smug and creepy?
Could Abigail be more self-absorbed and self-pitying?
Could Nicole be more desperate and dumb?
Could Daniel be more sanctimonious and pushy?

Just a bunch of annoying dumbfucks all the way around.

In all seriousness, that's what is driving me nuts about the character. Not the pairing with Jennifer and not even the Maggie /eggbaby retcon. I think SC is a great guy and I follow him on twitter. I just don't need to hear every character on the show singing Daniel's praises and trying to convince me that he's the coolest thing since MTV. Oh and I can do without the grabassing too!
If you have to advertise, you must not be selling.

Since they keep pushing fan favorites into scenes with him and using the dialogue to prop him, I have to wonder if Daniel isn't playing as well with the audience as they had hoped. Or they are completely out of touch with what a lot of fans are feeling. Either way they seem to have invested a lot in making Daniel/SC THE leading man on 'Days'.

Nicole's reaction to Dan grabbing her arm and his reaction to her reaction was interesting. For a moment there he seemed to realize that he was hurting her and then he visibly restrained himself from grabbing her again. They have *never* played Dan's grabby hands that way before.

That conversation with EJ that she had gave me the creeps and I'm a huge EJabby fan. I shivered and I'm not even sure why?

I think it is another sign everyone has been picking up about the last couple of episodes with Dan and Nicole scenes. The writers are steering in the direction of either a triangle(eric/Nicole/ Danie) or . Just a danicole pairing.

Isn't it unprofessional or unethical as a police officer to investigate the death of a family member? Who assigns cases at the Salem PD?
What? Salem only have one Police Officer and so the same police officer has to investigate the murder of a family.
Shouldn't the case be assigned to someone neutral who is not related to the victim?
Couldn't DOOL at least hire someone just for the thirteen weeks cycle to do the investigation?
THANK YOU! :hail: This is bugging the crap out of me.

I will suck it up and take an Eric/Nicole/Daniel triangle if it means we don't get an Eric/Jen/Dan triangle with Nicole as interloper.

if I didn't know better by today's scenes, you'd think it was a Daniel/Eric/Nicole love triangle. lol
Matt, i think this show is headed there unfortunately :-/
Really? I was thinking it's gonna be more like a Daniel/Eric/Jennifer triangle with Nicole pining away on the outskirts?!!?

LOL at EJ's face when Hope said she has received pictures of him and her cousin, seeing EJ squirm thinking the obvious given the show is showing Ejabby was a good fake out.
I kept thinking the scene with Ejabby in the park was a fake out or dream too. Creeeepy scene. Just creepy.

If Eric was really honest with NIcole about choosing her no matter what, then the truth shouldn't change anything.......but of course he wasn't truly honest with her.
I think he's been honest. He's been telling her over and over that NOT finding the evidence was like a sign from God that he is to be with Nicole. Unfortunately.
But at the same time he's told her that no matter what he wants to be with her. So what difference does it make if they found evidence that proves his innocence when it comes to their relationship if she's his first choice to begin with? Eric has been talking out of both sides of his mouth. How about, "If I find the evidence to clear my name then I'd rather be a priest than be married to you"? He sure hasn't said it like that.

Did anyone understand why EJ looked as if he was about to cry after Abby left and he agreed with her that he was a liar? I kept waiting for his expression to change to some "yeah I pulled one over on you" but he continued to look sad and about to cry.

^^ I agree FS and GW have better chemistry than Chandlers version of Wilson. I loved Chandler's Will and I loved Wilson then but Guy and Freddie have better chemistry in my opinion. While I get the negative comments about Guys "blue steel" looks, I actually think he's a great actor doing a good job with his material. Not really getting the Guy hate but I hate Daniel so it is what it is. Lol. Guy was a worthy recast and if you don't enjoy him please know it could've been WAY worse!
I loved Chandler's Will, and I loved it when he played Will as just being on the edge of going off or having a breakdown. It made perfect sense for the closeted, emotionally troubled son of Sami Brady. I thought his chemistry with FS was hit or miss (a couple of those early love scenes were great) but I think in general he wasn't all the comfortable doing romantic scenes.

I also have grown to love Guy Willson's Will, owing to the fact that Will is now a happily married father with a large support system around him. The maturity suits the character. While I think it took a little bit for GW to get comfortable, I think Guy is quite expressive and I often feel I know what Will is thinking just by body language and facial expressions. I knew right away that Will realized that the gun had been fired, without any cheesy dialogue that said "Oh my god, the gun's been fired" that would have ruined the mystery. It's true that Guy plays Will with his emotions more bottled up and he's occasionally been a little stiff, but that's okay by me. I've enjoyed watching him grow into the role. And he and FS seem very comfortable with each other.

He's also not had to play Will falling apart due to the storyline. I thought he did great conveying Will's happiness during the wedding, and since this is a soap, I know I won't have to wait too long to see him play heavy emotion.

One thing about Chandler's Will I do miss, however, is a slight smarminess. It also made sense to me that Sami's son would have a weasel-y side to him and I'd like to see that come into play again. GW seems to play Will more of a straight up hero.

what impression did you get? That he's a liar because he says he doesn't want anything to do with her? or he's a liar as he told her he loved his fiancee but truly misses being with Abby? IDK...that scene could be about anything....it's not the first time that Abby has told him he is a liar and clearly she knows he is as he's still lying about the affair...so she knows he's a first class liar....now why would Ej realizing Abby thinks that now bother him?

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I'll take tired looking but smouldering hot Rafe's acting over EJ's flailing arms and ott theatrics any day. Rafe has a caring kindness and gentleness about him that is very sexy!!! :wub2: :wub: :blowkiss:
I think his gentleness is extremely sexy too. There is an appealing masculinity is his manner. He has this understated tough guy stance, but such expressive eyes to the soft heart within. A winning combination for me. :wub2:


Rafe is most def husband material also :applause:
Rafe is my favorite Male Character! He is handsome, and a gentleman. He is the best husband material on the show right now. Maybe not money wise but for loyalty and caring and patience and stuff. And who do they put him with? JORBORE. Sorry, I do not like the character, have no interest in the character, have just become annoyed to the highest degree with the character. And since she ditched the glasses, she looks like she is squinting all of the time. If they keep the character, put her with Eric. They can be boring together. Nicole is wasted with Eric. With someone like Rafe she could still get in a little trouble and he would forgive and bail her out. I can not see a long future with Nicole and Eric together. I would like Rafe better with Nicole or even Hope. How much older than Rafe would Hope be? They look cute together. As for Rafe acting tired and slow, I always thought he acted like a cowboy type. Those cowboy types act lazy, tired, and talk slow until you need them not to.

I got the impression that he wasn't happy with himself as a man.......that he wasn't proud to be the type of man who would lie and hire a hitman. Remember the EJ who wanted to change so that his children would be proud that they were a DiMera? Seems like he was longing to be that man.

Or the writers are going with a quadrangle couple switch for a while? Wouldn't that be fun? :x :yawnz:

I think he was sad because he realized that he has to kill Abby now too. YES! FINALLY!

No really, I didn't think he looked sad. I thought he looked concern that Abby didn't buy his lie. She's threatened to tattle a few times now and I'm sure he's worried she will feel a need to clear her conscience.
