Where are the vets? Victor, Kayla, John, Marlena, Abe, etc.?
The actors that play Victor, Kayla, & Abe are all on recurring status, so there's nothing forcing the show to utilize the characters. John we're gonna see this upcoming week, and Marlena's been on the last three days. When was Jim Reynolds demoted to recurring? He's always belonged to that group of actors who are used as recurring even though they have contracts: Peggy, Suzanne, Josh...

Its weird that they write characters stating Sami is a great mother,then write her as acknowledging that Allie was so traumatized that she needed to see a therapist but deciding it is more important that she take care of a "work thing" than stay with her daughter and comforting her.She is the head of a department but she does not have an assistant who could bring material to her so she could work from home.Marlena gave Sami the card with the name of the therapist on it and the information so important to her that she referred to the therapist as "that woman" rather than by name or profession.She could easily have been written to refer to the person as "Allie's therapist".The writers don't even show Sami doing something so important that she had to leave Allie with EJ and Marleana.She appeared to know about her "work thing" when she was talking to Lucas.Why couldn't she ask Lucas to stay with Allie until she got back.The writers are not doing Sami any favors. I hope they are not going to make the hitman so stupid that he tells Sami that he is not the one who killed Nick.Why would someone who murders people for a living be so scrupulous that he would let the client know he is not the person who murdered the person he contracted to kill? Even if he had not been paid in full,he could just ask for the remainder of the money,how would EJ know he did not kill Nick? Why would he contact Sami? The only person he spoke with was EJ.Its not likely EJ told the hitman that he and Sami wanted to hire him.EJ might not want Sami to know he hired a hitman.For all he knows he is giving Sami information she could use against EJ.I will wait until Monday to see how it plays out but after the idiocy displayed by Nicole,Sami,and EJ,I don't hold out much hope that the hit man will be intelligent.
It really is odd how Sami seemed to have to do some urgent business matter, that involved her calling EJ from the HTS and then calling a mystery client from the park. She couldn't call from home? Or have someone email out these urgent and elusive PDF files? And yeah, she had to go as soon as Lucas left, so why she didn't tell Lucas that she had to leave make these PRESSING phone calls about town, I don't know. But, you know, Sami makes those concerned faces and rubs her daughter's head, so that's all the mothering one needs. I swear, I am so thrilled AS is leaving if it means never (or not for awhile) having to see those "look at me I am so concerned for my children" faces (scrunched face, sad eyes, tight lips, pitiful expression). I am not sure about the hitman, the most scrupulous one this side of the Mighty Mississippi apparently. I am guessing he is getting pressured from someone else, Stefano maybe? LOL I am looking forward to seeing how that plot point tries to unfold itself.
I think she was supposedly coming back from what she was supposed to be doing and was updating the client. The whole thing is a contrived bulshit so that the stupid hitman can approach her. Oh for sure! I know that. The timing of Lucas dropping Allie off though, and then Sami leaving seconds after (I guess Marlena is there at that point, so it's not that Sami is leaving Allie totally alone) could have been better planned out, even if the end goal was that hitman meeting. Even Sami receiving an emergency phone call that this PDF crisis needed tending to immediately (or whatever it was, lol) would have helped a smidge...something to show an unwilling pulling away, I guess. Not sure if that made any sense ;)

Somehow this episode was a little bit better than the two previous ones. At least a tad. The normal background music was back, that was a good thing. I liked all the investigation scenes. Especially the ones between Wilson. They're really getting some layers and supercouple storytelling here. And I'm scooping it all up, love it!!! :wub2: :P
WilSon makes the show tolerable to me. When they are not on the show just drags Imo.
Oy. This version of Will and Sonny is the worst :x I hope NuBen will be good. Where are the vets? Victor, Kayla, John, Marlena, Abe, etc.? What I wouldn't give for some John and Marlena right now on this show. I'm beyond tired of this current line of stories playing now. It's beyond ridiculous that John has been back and we get nothing with John trying to get Marlena back or Marlena missing John.

I couldn't agree more Rosebud. It's puzzling to me why they brought John back. I had a tiny bit of hope when he first returned, but it's completely gone. He could be involved somehow in this murder story since every other character is! I guess I should be "grateful" that they are using Marlena as a prop, so why not John! At least I could see a bit of interaction between them.

The actor who plays John said he was back for Brady. I thought Marlena would play a part, but he said no

We really haven't seen John interacting with anyone -- except for maybe one or two scenes with Brady, but no real deep interaction. I guess there's a spoiler about Spoiler: click to toggle John unintentionally pushing Brady towards Teresa on Tuesday May 20 -- -- but that doesn't sound very deep either.
I agree with the poster who suggested that they could bring John in to investigate Nick's murder. John and Abe working together -- would be just great. Why not?

I think I must be the only person who wasn't thrown by the PDF thing. I've said it before (no others like jpeg/internet lol).

Sami should have stayed with Allie after Lucas dropped her back home...seriously this show does make real attempts to show Sami as completely out of it when it comes to her daughters.
EJ is taking better care of Allie than her own mother is.
Why did Sami have to leave, only to call Elvis on the phone? If she was so worried about Allie why did she leave?
As a working mom, I can testify that I have had to leave my sick child home with either my husband or a relative to go to work countless times. You feel guilty about it and you check on them. But in the end, you do what you have to do knowing that your child is with trusted hands.
Sami is not just a mom, but she is running a multimillion dollar corporation. She said she would only be gone for a very short time. Allie was with her loving step dad and her grandma. I don't see what the big deal is specially since she checked up on her and expressed genuine concern unlike Lucas who thinks that one visit to the doctor magically fixed Allie's trauma LOL.

Poor Allie. I sure hope Lucas gets custody of that kid. Oh crap, FauxRo is still alive :(Sonny calling Arianna "Ariel" was hilarious! Nobody caught that? Nobody? Eric and Jennifer need to shut up and wait for Nicole to answer.
I'm thinking the reason she is so central to this storyline IS so she can stay in town with Lucas after Sami leaves with her other kids.
Good to know I'm not the only one who thought this. She's doing a great job.
Maybe when Sami finds out the REAL reason why EJ hired the hitman, she'll be extra disgusted with EJ and it might make her even more livid once she realizes that her daughter is traumatized so that EJ can cover up his affair.
Except that Allie is not traumatized so that Ej can cover up his affair since the hitman did not actually do the deed. Allie is traumatized because some amateur shot Nick and did not have shooting skills to aim in his brain or heart which would have killed him instantly.

Sami saying "I will pdf them to you" sounded very strange to me....I have never used PDF as a verb to mean send (or convert and send). Let me excel spready that to you! I wonder if she is very familiar with PDFs.
LOL, me either. And I work as an IT consultant with several clients. Now I want to start using verbs for all formats: "I'll flash video that over to you" "PNGing to you now." "I already DOCed that."
Lol yeah I noticed this too. I actually thought it was kinda fun :blulaugh: I think I'm gonna start using terms such as those now :blulaugh: I work for a global financial company and we use some terms in a similar way and it is like a norm that is understood among ourselves. I guess it would be strange for an outsider, but it works for us LOL.

Even if they start shooting scenes together now it will be 4-5 months before they would be aired! None of this makes any sense. Two talented, beautiful actors wasted....only on Days! Deidre, Drake and their fans deserve more respect. You have to admire them both for sticking with this show and continuing to be cheer leaders of this mess.

Its weird that they write characters stating Sami is a great mother,then write her as acknowledging that Allie was so traumatized that she needed to see a therapist but deciding it is more important that she take care of a "work thing" than stay with her daughter and comforting her.She is the head of a department but she does not have an assistant who could bring material to her so she could work from home.Marlena gave Sami the card with the name of the therapist on it and the information so important to her that she referred to the therapist as "that woman" rather than by name or profession.She could easily have been written to refer to the person as "Allie's therapist".The writers don't even show Sami doing something so important that she had to leave Allie with EJ and Marleana.She appeared to know about her "work thing" when she was talking to Lucas.Why couldn't she ask Lucas to stay with Allie until she got back.The writers are not doing Sami any favors.

I thought it was beyond stupid that the hitman would approach Sami, not knowing she is even aware of the hit. It makes absolutely no sense. It would not only implicate Ej, he would be implicating himself as well to the daughter of the police commissioner no less.
I am not sure if it is a thing against working mothers in general or just a Sami thing, but you seem to feel that mothers who tries to balance being a mom and having a career are bad moms. Samis is being crucified for leaving Allie with her loving step dad and grandmother for a short moment to attend an important meeting. Yet Lucas is given a pass for doing the exact same thing the night of the traumatic event. Except Lucas did not have any work obligation that night, he chose to leave Allie with Caroline (who has alzheimer) so he could run to the hospital for no valid reason other than plot point.
This story is not character driven, it is plot driven. It is for it is.

Her daughter saw her cousin shot and in the throws of dying, Ms. Multimillion dollar executive can take a day off.

Late to the party, but here nevertheless. :)
Loved all things WilSon (of course) especially the couch scene and declarations of ultimate love! At first, I thought Sonny was reading as the only one guilty of the pair, but today, Will seemed it too. But as Honeybees already stated up thread each one thinks it is the other and that they are protecting each other therefore, neither one is the murderer.
The suspect pool is growing smaller, so small that it can really only be Gabi or Lucas who did the killing.
I'm betting it will be Gabi, in the park with the Kiriakis gun. Kate's gun is missing, and Lucas is really the only one who could have taken it, and I'm betting he did, but never got the chance to use it. Or maybe he did use it and Gabi never got a chance to use her weapon! Ahhhh....okay I admit it, I'm liking this mystery despite there only being two suspects left.
Another great day for KA fans, she was really good today, most of her acting was subtle, you could see how much Abigail's statement affected her. I think Hope expected negative comments from everyone she has talked to so far due to the custody stuff. But to hear that Abigail was afraid of Nick...in that moment when they were arguing and to hear from Abigail about the custody and the lawyer, well I think it just hit home for Hope that she really didn't know her cousin as well as she thought she did, and it hurt.
I also thought KM was exceptionally good in these scenes too, I am liking her character more and more and even though she didn't know Ben's last name, she knew that he worked for Sonny, and Abigail trusts Sonny, no way would he would hire a crazy psycho! ;)
And for the record, I do not think Abigail was a whore (insert favourite slur here) for kissing Ben. There I said it, and I'm also going to say I like the idea of Ben and Abi....would that then be BAbi?
How annoying it must be for that pesky Nick's murder to come up right in the middle of Dan's bullying and manhandling of Nicole and his forcing her to tell Eric the truth. /snark. Okay, I don't get this sl at all. Why is Dan in the middle of it? The writers should have left this sl with Dan recommending to Nicole that she tell Eric the truth so that her marriage starts off 'clean'. Then, we could have had some nice angsty scene's of Nicole soul searching followed up by her confession. It would have been good for Eric to have made the choice between Nicole and his priest's collar but no...instead we get St. Dan lording over Nicole like he's never done anything shady before. I literally hate the character of Dan why do the writers love him so much! It's frustrating and I'm a new viewer, I can't even imagine having to put up with this guy for the entire time he's been on. And I am sorry to say, but there is soooo going to be a quadrangle featuring Eric/Nicole/Jen/Dan .... which is just ewwwww imo.
Interesting but unimportant: When I see KM I can totally buy that she is cousins to Nick/Will and Sonny. She has the same lips/mouth as Nick, Sonny's big dark eyes (yes I know that the relationship comes from Adrienne and Jack and not the greek side but still....) and the same slim stature and fair colouring of Will....just makes them as cousins more believable to me.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
Why did Sami have to leave, only to call Elvis on the phone? If she was so worried about Allie why did she leave?
As a working mom, I can testify that I have had to leave my sick child home with either my husband or a relative to go to work countless times. You feel guilty about it and you check on them. But in the end, you do what you have to do knowing that your child is with trusted hands. Sami is not just a mom, but she is running a multimillion dollar corporation. She said she would only be gone for a very short time. Allie was with her loving step dad and her grandma. I don't see what the big deal is specially since she checked up on her and expressed genuine concern unlike Lucas who thinks that one visit to the doctor magically fixed Allie's trauma LOL.
Yea, NO. Her daughter saw her cousin shot and in the throws of dying, Ms. Multimillion dollar executive can take a day off. It might've been something that was hard to re-schedule. A deal that she had to make with people who flew from Chicago to meet with her. And it's not like she left her daughter alone or with a sitter. She called her mother and left her in her care. Millions of working mothers make that hard choice everyday. I just think the show could've presented it better.

Late to the party, but here nevertheless. :)Loved all things WilSon (of course) especially the couch scene and declarations of ultimate love! At first, I thought Sonny was reading as the only one guilty of the pair, but today, Will seemed it too. But as Honeybees already stated up thread each one thinks it is the other and that they are protecting each other therefore, neither one is the murderer. The suspect pool is growing smaller, so small that it can really only be Gabi or Lucas who did the killing. I'm betting it will be Gabi, in the park with the Kiriakis gun. Kate's gun is missing, and Lucas is really the only one who could have taken it, and I'm betting he did, but never got the chance to use it. Or maybe he did use it and Gabi never got a chance to use her weapon! Ahhhh....okay I admit it, I'm liking this mystery despite there only being two suspects left. Another great day for KA fans, she was really good today, most of her acting was subtle, you could see how much Abigail's statement affected her. I think Hope expected negative comments from everyone she has talked to so far due to the custody stuff. But to hear that Abigail was afraid of Nick...in that moment when they were arguing and to hear from Abigail about the custody and the lawyer, well I think it just hit home for Hope that she really didn't know her cousin as well as she thought she did, and it hurt. I also thought KM was exceptionally good in these scenes too, I am liking her character more and more and even though she didn't know Ben's last name, she knew that he worked for Sonny, and Abigail trusts Sonny, no way would he would hire a crazy psycho! ;) And for the record, I do not think Abigail was a whore (insert favourite slur here) for kissing Ben. There I said it, and I'm also going to say I like the idea of Ben and Abi....would that then be BAbi? How annoying it must be for that pesky Nick's murder to come up right in the middle of Dan's bullying and manhandling of Nicole and his forcing her to tell Eric the truth. /snark. Okay, I don't get this sl at all. Why is Dan in the middle of it? The writers should have left this sl with Dan recommending to Nicole that she tell Eric the truth so that her marriage starts off 'clean'. Then, we could have had some nice angsty scene's of Nicole soul searching followed up by her confession. It would have been good for Eric to have made the choice between Nicole and his priest's collar but no...instead we get St. Dan lording over Nicole like he's never done anything shady before. I literally hate the character of Dan why do the writers love him so much! It's frustrating and I'm a new viewer, I can't even imagine having to put up with this guy for the entire time he's been on. And I am sorry to say, but there is soooo going to be a quadrangle featuring Eric/Nicole/Jen/Dan .... which is just ewwwww imo. Interesting but unimportant: When I see KM I can totally buy that she is cousins to Nick/Will and Sonny. She has the same lips/mouth as Nick, Sonny's big dark eyes (yes I know that the relationship comes from Adrienne and Jack and not the greek side but still....) and the same slim stature and fair colouring of Will....just makes them as cousins more believable to me. I really didn't like Hope. She came off so unprofessionally. She was very cold to Will, mildly cold to Sonny but gentler with him, cowed by EJ and Kate who were both very dismissive to her, and she treated Abigail with kid gloves. Not a shinning moment for Detective Hope Brady! She made a point of calling Will, William and yet she refers to Nick as her cousin. Only in Salem and Port Charles would this kind of thing be allowed.
I agree with everything else you said. Although, it's still hard for me to believe that Gabi would shoot anyone in cold blood. Gabi is selfish and always acts in self-interest but she's not a coldblooded killer.

Where? All I heard him say was "Gabi took Ari out".
Nope, he said ARIEL.
Wow, yeah, I'm with stormymac. I didn't hear that at all. I very clearly hear him saying "Gabi took Ari out." Sonny told Will "Gabi took Ari out"

Gabi is selfish and always acts in self-interest but she's not a coldblooded killer. I hate the term "in cold blood" and in this case, I don't even think it applies. I know the show is using it, but if Gabi killed Nick, which I think she did, I don't think it was cold-blooded at all. And honestly, she's the only possible suspect who I think had a real motive for murder (I think the others had motives for other crimes, but murder is kind of a jump). Dude tried to rape her and has been slowly and methodically trying to distance her from her family and friends. Maybe I'm wrong about how CB will leave, but if she goes to prison for this, I'm beyond annoyed....and I don't even like Gabi.
