One other thing that bothers me. I wish Abe was police commissioner. We never see him as mayor and JR is a much better actor and we're forced to see Roman in all these cop scenes instead.

Plus the Roman JJ dynamic creeps me out
Yeah, I would much prefer seeing Abe more than Roman.

I have to imagine that JT has a larger episode guarantee than JR or something, and that's why they don't use him more. Who knows, though? :shrug:
I'm sure that's true and I hate it lol

I also think once Eric's gone Roman will even more be JJ's surrogate father.

Cut scenes, I think (just going from recaps because I haven't watched the entire show yet) ..

Rafe and Roman celebrate JJ's graduation from the police academy, and Shawn shows up for his first day on the job. Jennifer stops by to bring JJ lunch. He's a little embarrassed by her behavior, which is the result of the pills.

Lani and Theo get together, and he admits Chase was the one bullying him via text. They offer each other advice on their love lives, and Theo assures her Rafe and Hope will never happen because the only one for Hope was Bo. He thinks she should pursue Rafe.
The Lani/Theo cut is interesting to me due to the Bo/Hope/Rafe part.

On the one hand, it could be interpreted as slowing down the R/H stuff again. On the other hand, not airing a convo that basically says that Bo was the only man for Hope leaves the door open to have Hope move on more quickly.
Maybe Lani was so boring they thought she'd actually put us to sleep lol
Is Lani still hung up on Rafe? I haven't really paid attention to her. That's odd that Theo would encourage her to pursue Rafe.

I thought introducing Deimos and Eduardo was interesting too. And John is getting involved there via Philip. I wouldn't be shocked if Deimos was involved in winterthorne. He seems to be involved in a lot. And we found out he's got money too. I'm really curious to see the dialogue J&M have Thursday about bringing down the assassins.

Today's show feels different. Aw. Brady remembers Marlena exists.
Good different or bad different?
Griffith different :blulaugh: .

I think what Lysie said was right on. It felt very ominous. There was depth. The only scenes that felt at all like the past few months were Hope/Rafe/Andre and Brady/Nicole/Theresa and those stories may take longer to turn around then others because they have been the major focus. However, the beach sequence at the end even had an ominous feel to it for some reason.

It's just interesting to me how each episode this week seemed to feature more and more Griffith like material ending on Friday with an episode that felt like it was mostly dictated by him. That is a very good sign. I'm guessing next week we may see some adjustments to the stories that have been the focal points (Hope/Rafe/Andre, Kayla/Steve/Ava, the Daniel stuff) and then within the next 5-10 episodes the Higley material will be fully gone.

Very curious after Friday to see how things unfold. The Abby stuff, in particular, has me really intrigued. As lysie said, this could be going the route of a PTSD story and they could actually take the last few months of story following the cabin scenes to further play into it. Then, you have Ben's return and Jennifer's addiction and other beats you can bring into it. Could be really, really good.

Really enjoyed Thursday and Friday this week. Although horrifying, the Patch/Ava stuff was like a car wreck (but not Daniel's) and I couldn't look away.

Andre prank calling Hope was my favorite moment. Followed closely by Deimos' collection of glossy 8x10s and print outs from soapcentral's Who's Who bios.

Oh and Jennifer flying high as a kite after 5 minutes deserves a gold medal. Well, the pills do because damn they worked fast.

Theresa was actually enjoyable today! I like how she gave Abby advice on "opiates" and that has "festive, non-alcoholic ginseng soda on ice."

JJ in cop uniform, teamed with baby blues Shawn make for the hottest partners on patrol.

Not sure what happened to Lani and Theo having 1 scene. That was random.

Chabby!

Maybe it is. People were so focused on the cut being a Bope mention, but I bet it was cut because of the Rafe mention.

Especially if they test her with Fynn this week. Could be

Maybe it was edited to drop the bullying story too. That certainly wrapped fast.

I'll never get the EJami comparisons in regards to Chabby. It doesn't fly except that EJ and Chad are brothers and both pairings were/are popular. There is phrase I'd like to use here but I'd get in trouble and Lysie hates it. ;)

But oh yes, you're right, all DiMeras have to be the same. Even if Chad wasn't raised one. DNA determines everything. :sarcasm: I'll never understand people lumping Chad in with the rest of the DiMeras like he's some bad guy when in actuality he is a decent guy who has made mistakes like everyone does. Lazy argument IMO.
Oh please ! There are so many similarities it's not even funny. They both use their charm to get what they want, either one knows the meaning of safe sex and are following in their father's footsteps inpregnating women, both have a penchant for women from "good" families who hate the Demiras and drag children into the house of horror to be raised in a lifestyle they claim to hate . As much as they swear to want out they are always drawn to the dark side again. They are raised to super couple status by the audience but their great love ends up a disaster. I have a feeling Abby's reason for leaving are not because Chad turns out to be a decent guy.
I'm not sure you can say getting women pregnant is a DiMera thing when practically every other man (even Will, who is gay) manages to get women pregnant just as easily.

The only couple close to supercouple for the Dimeras was Tony and Anna. Now Chabby got supercouple writing, but they are still just a popular couple.

EJ and Chad are not alike in many ways. Chad is basically one of the good guys, even if his last name is Dimera.

Aren't EJ and Sami considered a supercouple?? They were wildly popular and are on the list of Daytime Supercouples.

It also says Will & Sonny are a supercouple and I wouldn't consider them to be just yet.

Sami & EJ seemed to have just as many viewers against that coupling, as were for it. Maybe even more. Supercouples do seem to be ones that have very very few "against". John & Marlena, Patch & Kayla, Kim & Shayne, Jack & Jen, Bo & Hope......all seemed to fit that criteria at the time. It does seem right now that Chad & Abby do, too.
However, with 1/2 of the couple known to be departing the show, it is doubtful there will be any sort of "happy" for them.

EJAMI is a supercouple from its their viewers have stood by them from the beginning or mid way I would say! :smile: Ken Corday did not considered them a supercouple until both James and Ali left and the ratings declined double inched to 1.70! Plus, he knew from the fan events that EJAMI fans were big. I think Days wanted EJ to be this big villain and Sami to be all of the good girl. But they also knew that Sami being bad, is what got this character very famous for! I believe 2011 fan event, for some birthday of Days that was held in November, or maybe a little bit before that, the executives was there was the November sweeps of 2011 and the fans reactions of EJAMI! It was a big reaction that made them realize that EJ & Sami do have something there! The 2012 spoilers, changed two times! Days was not going to put EJ with Sami, but that fan event, changed all of that!

Plus, if there was ever a poll on them, they would win hands down! :thumbsup: The viewers knows of Sami's behavior very well and know that EJ may be perfect for her. This includes those who were fans of LUMI and SAFE, that what ever Sami does, both Lucas and Rafe would not approve!...........Rafe though, has changed and know protecting Hope...so maybe, he would know how Sami feels when it comes to doing stupid things. Anyway, if Sami comes back...and if she does not have EJ with her, then Days may put her back with Rafe or with Lucas.
