Yeah it bothered me to Amy. Maybe Hope isn’t aware of it. Not like it would have mattered to a woman who stole a child then buried someone alive after killing comatose patients. I’m sure Vivian would think Lawrence raping Jennifer was nothing more than him being spirited and not an evil tool.

It bothers me too, but then again “rape” has never doomed a character on DOOL. However, in Vivian’s case … she’s a nut case and even if her beloved Lawrence was standing there dripping in blood with the weapon of choice in his hand, he would still be a saint in her eyes.

Wasn’t Hope presumed dead when Lawrence raped Jennifer? Since she wasn’t around we are supposed to forget it ever happened.

It definitely bothered me but considering more than half the fans want EJ & Sami together despite him having raped her, I didn’t think it would bother too many.

It bothers me. I never understood why Carly married him knowing what he did. And yes the Ej and Sami rape is just as disgusting to me. I think the writers are being disrespective to women by even having Sami in the same room with Ej…and that’s not just me that feels that way.

But, I do wish Hope had mentioned that to Viv though.

I feel the same way Haley does

I miss Frankie on the show. He is so sweet, and Frank is my favorite name

The Ej/Sami situtation was a sick/twisted deal whereas Jennifer/Lawrence was a violent act of rape. Totally different Haley !

Haley, as usual you bring it back to Ejami, how predictable!

I knew someone would go there, even though they aren’t even the topic of conversation!

Your response proves that Ejami gets people talking, so guess what they aren’t going anywhere!
A reason for which I am very glad, as huge Ejami fan.
I love Sami and EJ as a couple and individually, And I am NOT the only one that feels that way!
Ejami 2010!

I miss Jack and Jennifer! And Frankie!

Agreed! I also want to know what happened to all the cool “sliding door” apartments in Salem! It seemed like that was all they had, back in the 80s!

I guess it shouldn’t surprise me that some people cannot distinguish a deal that was made by sami and EJ followed by another love child and the violent rape of jennifer by Lawrence…maybe that’s why half the fans seem to be more intuitive than others

Oh Haley with your logic Luke and Laura Spencer as well as Bill and Laura Horton should never spend scenes together !
Because for them it was really RAPE not coercision for sex but VIOLENT ACT OR RAPE ! How they will do it at the Alice’s funeral with Laura and Bill in the same room, hein Haley ?!
lol

Judith, Bill won’t be at Alice’s tribute. The last person to play Bill Horton (can’t think of his name off hand) has died.

Also, I don’t think Luke and Laura should have been together or Bill and Laura. Yes, what EJ did to Sami is not as bad as the other couples but it was still a very sleazy thing of EJ to do and I wish Sami would just kick him to the curb like the piece of trash that he is. I wouldn’t want my daughter dating someone like EJ no matter how “Hot” he is.

Now back to the question at hand…Yes, Hope was presumed dead and I personally can’t see Jenifer wanting to have a sit down chat and tell Hope all about the rape when Hope was found alive. So I’m going to guess that Hope never found out.

Lisa, Ken Corday has recently mentioned in an interview about the show’s plan for a great Alice Horton’s tribute that he would like to bring back Bill Horton and they have to think very carefully about a good recast so Bill and Laura (who by the way left the show happily ever after together) will be in the same room !!

Hope wasn’t in Salem during that incident. Are we to assume Jennifer would tell Hope 3 years later offscreen?

Hope and Jennifer were / are close confidants and cousins. Hope should know all about Jen and Lawrence. I know Bo knows and has made comments about it.

The fact is there have been several major sl involving a forced or blackmailed liaison. Jennifer had two such situations – Lawrence Alamain and Colin Murphy. Kayle had a situation with Jack Devereaux. Laura Horton had a situation with Bill Horton, Mickey’s brother. All of these liaisons were revealed tragically in court or some other legal setting where many people were made aware.

It is not a good sl whether it was 1970, 1980, or 1990. But Days and many other shows ( daytime and nighttime ) have told these kind of tales and then years later gloss over or ignore the situation due to continuity lapses or plot driven reasons. Sad but true.

Jack raped Kayla also and now he is with Jennifer so I think it would be hypocritical for Hope to bring that up.

Lot’s of “Rape” situations on soaps are above all plot driven acts for a storyline, it is maybe tacky from the writers to write that in order to create drama but viewers shouldn’t take that so seriously.

For those who don’t get it, consent by coercion isn’t consent. Sex without consent = rape. Rape is a violent act, whether it’s physically, mentally or emotionally – it doesn’t matter, rape is rape. You people who want rapists romantically paired with their victims are seriously sick. And for the record, I hate Luke & Laura too.

With regards to the topic of this, Days forgets history right, left and central. Why would this be any different? I wish more fans would call out the show on it.

Lumilove,

You are the one that is sick, and psycho at the same time to insult someone based on an fictional show!

Take your real life crap and shove it!

If Sami can forgive EJ, then so can I.
If Laura can forgive Luke, then so can I.
Etc. etc,etc.

Lumi is no great love story IMO, afterall Sami forgave Lucas for allowing her to be put on death row, with the execution needle in her arm, before he told the truth!
He forgave her for saying he hit their son! Those are issues that would be treated seriously IN REAL LIFE!

Those examples alone showcases the fiction of these shows!

So stop attacking people for having a difference of opinion. Show some maturity and respect, if you’re able!

But if you can’t, and instead decide that you’re gonna insult fans of couples that you don’t like personally, then you will always be attacked right back!

She probably didn’t know… i mean she was suppose to be dead at that time and i dont see Jennifer telling Hope after she got back from the dead of the “oh ya i was raped when you were gone”… not much of a convo i would bring up…

Lumilove Lucas framed once Sami for a murder which put her on death row but AFTER that he tried to kill her again using drugs/poison and a Will Doll it’s Brandon who saved her ! So you want a attempted murderer romantically paired with his victim ? So you are seriously sick ?
I liked Lucas and Sami together but in real life i would never want them together like i wouldn’t want a rapist romantically paired with anybody, victim or not !!
By the way for the Ej/Sami situation the writers let the act ambiguous, do you like it or not.
In soap opera the characters do despicable things to each others to create storylines, drama plots, it is nothing more !

I see so much potential in E.J. He has Jimmy Stewart qualities to be taped on. The writers are making a big mistake by making him out to be such a bad guy. He and Sammy have so much chemistry. Please get rid of Rafe. Nathan I love too. Like his upstanding character. Can’t stand to watch Rafe.
