I think you're onto something. I thought the instant I read about the Kate/Rafe spoiler below that this might be GGs swan song on Days.
If that's the case and GG stated an interest in leaving, wonder if that played a part in changing up Jordan's secret storyline? I'm often more fixated on the behind the scenes stuff that what's on the screen. I'd be suprised, however, if Galen decided to leave as it IS a good paycheck but he DID express some aggravation tho. It's interesting.
Maybe they are getting rid of him? It is OBVIOUS he has been passed over by TPTB for the "male lead" position by Shawn Christian.

Yup and I felt like Peter Reckell was feeling the same way about Galen and he probably feels the same way about Shawn too (cuz you know he's still paying attention). I wish this show would get back to an ensemble which of course a soap is designed to be. I've been pleasantly surprised at how much I don't mind Rafe since he got away from Sami but I wasnt enjoying Sami during that time either. If he leaves, it won't break my heart but he's not on my short list of people I want gone yesterday.

Sami knows and I'm thrilled. I, along with others, are calling it. The reason I'm in love with the idea is this is the final year of Sami and I actually DO want her to be old school calculating in how she's portrayed these final months. The Sami we've seen over the past god knows how many years has been all over the freaking place but THIS Sami, a Sami who knows and waits until reveals could best benefit her for whatever reason, is a Sami I can get down with. It's been maybe since 2000-ish since I've said this wholeheartedly (and I do love some Ejabby) but #teamsami. Yup I just said it. They best not let me down.
I will go down with the ship believing she's known since the 2nd time EJ went out to the Horton Cabin. Right before he came back into the Dimansion, she received a text and it just showed her looking confused over it. Someone posted it awhile back here of her seeing it. I think someone (either Percy or Nick) sent her the pictures THEN! Or she was having EJ followed and off screen a PI sent her a text that EJ was at Smith Island with Abigail. Either way, I think she's known for a LONG time and AS is lying about what her character does and doesn't know. THAT would be the best way to dole out a "twist" is to have the actors lie about what goes out onto twitter and discussion boards . .. well, IMHO it is.

both SC and EM have been really showcased by this show in the last year...JS' epi guarantee this past year was evidently less than previous years but he was still on, while GG went from being all over the place to barely used. I do wonder if the show changed Jordan's story because they are thinking of getting rid of GG before the end of the year.

NO wonder GG was criticizing this story on twitter...I can see why.....with Sami leaving, his sister being carted off to jail, other sis dead and bro in Argentina....there really is no use for Rafe anymore....it does seem if they continue to write him this way by September a good amount of viewers will be wishing he was gone.....when is GG's contract up again? I wouldn't be surprised to hear that he's let go.

If he is being written out I doubt he had anything to do with it. I would think it was because there really is no story for him anymore. Wasn't he brought on for Sami, then they tried to give him lots of family and that's gone now, and I don't think the Jordan story has been very popular... I think there are more reasons to get rid of him than to keep him at this point.

Ugh this whole show just made me :yuk:

:wtf: is wrong with these writers?!?

Rate/Kafe is disgusting!

Sami asking Abby to be a bridesmaid was dumb!

Ben and Jordan talking and looking like a couple was disturbing!

JJ and Paige are sooo boring and wrong for each other!

And for the love of God, whhhhyyy does Eve have to be Dannifer angst!!

If this is all DAYS has for the summer, I have a ton of other stuff to do for an hour!

Good grief, DAYS..get your crap together!!!
I could not agree more.

I am going to Europe this summer for a month and obviously will miss all of July....it is going to be a MUCH needed forced break from this show....and might be what I need to finally just break away from it for good.
Sadly you are not allowed to stop watching for good because I'm really not in the mood to watch daily without your snarky opinions. Your check is in the mail. ;)

He actually has less of an excuse than EJ. At least EJ can use Ross Geller's "We Were On A Break" excuse.

I also think you could be right. GG's contract is up in September this year, I just checked Jason's site. I wouldn't really miss Rafe. Put Bryan back on contract instead and give Lucas & Jordan a try.

The reason the Jordan story has lost popularity is because they haven't told it. It's totally the last minute change that affected the pacing and I DO wonder if that had to do with an idea GG may not renew his contract. Time shall tell. It's interesting to me anyway lol

Since when has Abby been a wedding planner or did any kind of event planning.
Sami is just fucking with her LOL. She wants to twist the knife before she confront them both.

She lumps them altogether sometimes. The argument has been that Shane was off playing hero so Kim had to be both parents and she was too busy being a therapist parent. Which is BS because she was married to another guy (likely Phillip Collier) since about 1994 until 2010, so its not as if there wasn't another parental figure around.
Which is a legitimate complaint. And what do we know about the step-father? Maybe he was too busy and maybe he was seperated from her mother. Unless they give us Theresa's back story we don't know anything.
Jeanie seemed pretty well adjusted in this clip (around 3:20):

http://youtu.be/glmDsr9bZJs
Don't you know that kids are always well adjusted until they're teenagers? I can't remember Sam i being a brat until Ali came along.

This just reminds me that we need Andrew to come to town and talk some sense into his sister. Possibly both of them.

I don't think she's knows since then but I definitely think she's known since Nick's death which hasn't been that many days/weeks...Salem time....

That is why I think that AS was choosing her words carefully in that interview...she said she hasn't known all along as she couldn't keep it under wraps for so long and what we've seen (up to the point of the interview) was sincere and no agenda or revenge planning.....up until that point...or all along....

We know there were no marital issues until Kim returned to Salem in 2010 for Alice's funeral saying the kids were taking the divorce hard, so unless they do more with that backstory, that's all we know beyond fanwanking. If said husband was Phillip Collier, he was a Hollywood producer with seedy connections. I really wish they would use that in Jeannie Theresa's backstory.
It makes sense that she got caught up in her stepdad's seedy connections. Maybe he inadvertently put her in a dangerous situation which led to her current predicament and bitterness. Whatever it is, they need to spell out that backsory now because Theresa doesn't make much sense right now.
Ya know what? What a great story that is! I always wondered whatever happened to Phillip C and he WAS a part of Teresa's life for awhile. There's an instant story that could possibly play a role in why she is the ways she is today, bring Kim back (I'm trying) even for that arc and you have an instant way to make her behavior make some sense. They should have fan arc contests where fans can submit a small bible for various arcs that could be used. I'd watch this one!
Is Richard Burgi on another series now? Maybe he could come back. It would be interesting if he came back and PP and CS and dug into that whole off screen history. I'd be more interested in watching that than Dannifer crap.

Remember that's just a guess though. His contract is up in September, we just aren't sure what year, since they don't announce contract status much. That's the one page on the site that is more of a guess than a fact.

Thing is, I'm not convinced he is supposed to be 40. Martsolf is, yes. He's probably 30s and before the Kristen mess, Brady seemed to have had a fine relationship with John & Marlena. John doing what he did was beyond out of character, but he still did it - so I think its an example of old issues coming out. I wish Brady would have issues with John not being there as an adult the last few years. Mardar created this ideas that they are grown apart as ADULTS and I'm still waiting for that story to happen.
My problem is that he LOOKs like he's 42. He was so miscast. Plus having him be with Kristen emphasized that a lot. I have no interest in that story because it's dependent on inventing history that neither happened on screen or off. Brady's entire sorased lif has been based on false history and nonsense. It's why I have a hard time with anything that is written now about his childhood or past, because it all comes across as ridiculous nonsensical vitriol. I fully expect this story to go on like this for a while until Brady comes to his senses and gets off the drugs again and we're back to him and John and Marlena being fine with each other. It's pointless and a waste of time.
Totally agree about the casting. I've had that issue since 2008.
Agreed I still miss Klye Lowder as Brady i just dont see EM as Brady.

Why on earth is EJ pushing Abby to help Sami with this wedding?
Because when Abigail kept making up excuses, Sami got suspicious and straight out asked her if there is a reason she does not want to be involved in the wedding. Ej changed his tune really quick and suddenly wanted Abi to be help so Sami would not be suspicious I guess.

The odd thing is it seems that Abby was waiting for Ejs cue to make a decision one way or the other. she was looking at ej for him to tell her what to do the whole time. Strange that she could not decide on her own how to handle it. :shrug:
