I blame EJ b/c it truly started when he blackmailed Sami into marrying him. If he hadn’t done that, Lucas never woulda shot him, never woulda gone to jail & told Sami to move on, and Sami and EJ never woulda been together to conceive Sydney. So yes, I blame EJ.
-
Not that Sami is miss Lily-White. She deserves some of the blame too. Say, 25%? Either way it’s just one horrible thing after another between the two of them.

I would have to disagree. Storyline or not, we cannot blame others for our own actions. We have choices and even though those choices can be influenced by the actions of others, the ultimate choice still remains our own.

Actually, let’s up Sami’s share to 35%.

Just to clarify…Sami didn’t kill Franco. Lucas did.

Ej was born and raised to be evil and to care about no one but himself and his ‘blood’. He was taught that when life doesn’t give you what you want, that he was superior and was just allowed to take it. Unfortunately what he wanted was Sami. He manipulated her into believing he was good at heart. Which in no way was Sami’s fault. I have been in that situation and I felt (and I’m sure Sami did to) embarrassed and ashamed to let my heart be tricked so easily. However the love does not disappear…it is simply smothered with hate and confusion.

I don’t blame Sami.
Since EJ came to town he has manipulated Sami.. Gloved hand notes so she wouldn’t marry Austin, then he raped her, then forced her to marry him, manipulating her into feeling sorry for him after he was shot. He used Nicole to make Sami jealous, resulting in Sydney.
She shouldn’t have kept Grace’s (Sydney’s) paternity a secret. That was wrong.. but it’s not all Sami.. EJ played a pretty big part in what is coming to him. He made those choices. In the end, it’s a soap.. so suspending disbelief is pretty much required.

I feel for EJ and think that Sami should forgive him. He acted out of deep pain. She of all people should understand what EJ went through and know what its like to act out of pain and anger. I think EJ’s vows alone should show that he does in fact love Sami and their children and that they should have a chance to be a family. I really hope the writers give this couple a chance to see the error of their ways and come together as a family.

I can definately see your points. I don’t really think EJ kidnapped Sidney, can’t really kidnap your own kid, and as far as I know there wasn’t a set visitation schedule. At most I think they can get him for reporting false crimes etc. if they can even do that because the tapes aren’t legal forms of evidence. If EJ had just NOT done the bloody clothes thing, I think he would be ok, but that might have crossed the line. But I agree, Sami is as much to blame. They need to grow up!

I blame Ej totally. Sami was right to try and hide her baby from her..obviously. Ej uses his children as pawns–each time he gets mad at Sami he starts wanting to take the kids from her. I hope she ends up with sole custody of Johnny and Sydney.

Wouldn’t it be funny if the “Big Twist” that is comming is Sammi forgiving EJ and staying married to him!

They’re both to blame for the mess, but I do have sympathy for EJ in all of this.

The writers have done a great job of rounding out EJ’s character and giving him some complexity. I do think they’ve been a little lacking in their depiction of Sami as of late–making her a goody two-shoes soccer mom seems a bit of a cop out. In my opinion, they need to give her back some of her crazy behaviors and have her really rethink her relationship with Rafe. Has she really changed or is she just fooling herself. Seems to me like EJ really is her best choice., if she’s being true to herself. They’ve both done rotten things for various reasons (some justified, some not) and they deserve each other!

I wouldn’t get your hopes up Mary Kelly….and I for one would be disappointed if that’s what the “Big Twist” is. I mean, if Sami can immediately forgive EJ for the Sydnapping, what storyline potential is left for them? Might as well buy their tickets to Switzerland now.

EJ made his own decisions and his own mistakes, evil as they are, all by himself. I don’t feel one bit sorry for him. EJ cannot blame anyone for his own actions. He has become so pathetic.

Sami didn’t deny her feelings for EJ, she just never loved him.

I blame Sami, Rafe and Nicole more than I blame EJ, and the utter lack of remorse shown by those three astonishes me. They didn’t care that EJ was devasted when two different daughters were presented to him only after their deaths, so I certainly can’t load much hate onto EJ for paying them back in kind. If they don’t like the taste of their own medicine, that’s just too bad.

Lets not forget EJ raped Sami. I can’t understand how she even talked to him again after that, he is a monster. I agree Sami is NO saint, but I blame EJ totally. I am so glad a Dimera is going down!

Sarah, I don’t blame either of them. They’ve both done what they’ve done and it made sense to them at the time. They both have regrets and crave absolution. I forgive them, because this is a soap, and everything is larger than life. I do get upset with characters, but I love to forgive them and see them forgive each other. (Paradoxically, long held grudges and vendettas are fun, too. Go figure.) With Sami and E.J. I want to see unconditional love… but first I want to see some of the screaming, stomping, slapping, and hair pulling that these two are soooooooooo good at delivering. It’s going to be spectacular!
Love your account of events from E.J.’s point of view. Salem is so Brady/Horton-centric and it’s great to see the DiMera side of the story presented so beautifully. Thanks for the awesome post!
***
p.s. ANYONE WHO KNOWS WHAT THE BIG TWIST IS, PRETTY-PLEASE DON’T SAY IT!!!

no, no , no, no , no. EJ deserves retribution for
kidnappying Sydney and especially for throwing
the bloody clothes in the river and convincing everyone that the baby had been thrown in the
water–now, how hateful is that???
(Stephanie has the most rockin floral dress on
today-Tues-she looks good in everything)

Knowing that EJ did that, I don’t know how Sami
will be able to face him, let alone defend him to
her family–especially Will who is an impressionable teenager. EJ MUST PAY!!!

Great article Sarah. Will and Nicole both agreed with your POV and Sami was warned by Lucas and didn’t listen. So while I feel Ej is responsible for his own decisions I can completely understand why he did what he did and he is the one I feel most sorry for. He did take it to far but again it was due to his deep pain and anger in being betrayed and he is a Dimera. There are a lot of ppl who cut Nicole and others slack becuz of their upbringing and childhood yet when it comes to Ej no one seems to give him a break because of how he was raised/programmed. I think Ej has done amazingly well considering he is a Dimera. He eventually realizes his mistakes and feels sorry for them, he tries to make up for them, he has finally learned how to really love, and he has even been able to forgive all of which are totally uncharacteristic of a Dimera. We are all ultimately responsible for our actions but Sami definately is the one who set all this in motion just like Will and Nicole said. If it hadn’t been for Sami’s spiteful decision none of this would have happened.
*****

And all the Ej haters need to remember that this is not the 1st time Sami has claimed she was keeping her kid away from their father to protect them, she did the same thing with the precious, in many of your eyes saint, Lucas. That had huge consequences as well. Those who don’t learn from history are doomed to repeat it so yea I blame Sami.

Oh and that picture just makes me want to cry especially knowing what is coming!

You got to be kidding me. I have been waiting for EJ to get his comeuppance for a while now. I am so glad this story is over and that once Rafe will be in the picture.

And yes Sami did wrong but EJ is a criminal and should be served justice.

They are both to blame, Sami started it tho by not telling EJ that she was pregnant with his child, BUT THEN TELLS HIM AFTER SHE DIES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I feel sorry for EJ because he really LOVES her!

Sami has broken the LAW also! PLEASE!

I blame EJ and Sami for being stupid enough to fall for a murderer and kidnapper. Way to go sami.

Sarah,

What a great post! I do blame a lot of this mess on Sami. In many ways I blame the multiple regimes of writers for most of this story. It has twisted so much and dragged for so long that I am not sure it can be salvaged.

**
I will pull for EJ. I dead the next few weeks. fo..and I am not sure I call that entertainment. Maybe more manipulation – iwant to show support for ‘Days’ and James Scott and Alison Sweeney who have given their best even when the writing has been a shambles.

**
I find all of this too tragic right now. I will hold on and watch with my fists clinched right now. Iff EJ and Sami are going to end tragically. I wish they had made it an amicable parting some time ago. And brought on another female character who could have had a relationship with EJ that was not hampered with all of twists of the last two years,

**
I will still pray for all of this to be a nightmare from which EJ and Sami can awaken. But who can tell at this point.
**
I blame the writers – 100%.

I think they are both equally to blame. But if EJ could forgive Sami for lying for so many months about having his baby, then she should be forgiving for what he had done. Both are equally terrible. Both Sami and EJ are not good people. Let’s be honest here, it’s like everyone is forgetting who Sami really is.

Sorry, he originally coerced her into having sex with him(which may not have been the violent standard, but is still rape) before he would save Lucas when the cabin roof beam had fallen and crushed Lucas. EJ has been a bad guy since the beginning when he(and just as laughably, Stephanie) was still a racecar driver hiding his true identity.

I dont like EJ so I blame him 100%,
Sami didn’t kill Franco,Lucas did,,, YES he did to save his MOTHES LIFE,,,, and good for him,,,,what a good son.
Sami ask EJ to help her save Lucas and what did EJ do,he raped Sami,I dont care what anyone says,
IT WAS RAPE…. and I will never believe he is a good man or father,not in my book,,,, he is a bully and I hope Rafe kicks hes butt all the way out of town.thats what I think of this charecter….

O M G ! I think you are totally right. I have a favor to ask some one. cam some one please fill me in on the whole sami raping Austin thing? i had no idea, i guess i wasnt watching when that happened, some one please give me the deets. THANKS

Veronica – Sami drugged Austin and had sex with him which consitutes date rape. I wonder if all these people bringing up that Ejami shouldn’t be together felt that same way about Sami being with Austin cuz she raped him. But they were together despite that and all the other horrible things Sami did to him they still had their time as a couple. Go figure.

Oh Veronica, I’d link you the vid (it’s posted on youtube) but alas I don’t have youtube access at the moment. Basically Sami drugged him and slept with him without his knowledge nor his consent. He wakes in the morning and freaks out!

Renae, yes I realize Sami raped Austin and I didn’t want Austin&Sami together and I don’t want EJ&Sami together. Anyway, I’m through debating that. We’ve done that to death on this board.

Veronica, Sami drugged Austin and pretended to be her sister Carrie, so she could trick him into having sex with her (RAPE!) in order to get pregnant with his child so she could steal him from Carrie. When the child turned out to be Lucas’ she switched the test results at the hospital so nobody would know. Lucas didn’t know Will was his son until he was two years old, I believe.

Katie R I realize most people didn’t want Sami with Austin but I doubt the rape was their big issue with them being together or what they focused on.

My point was Sami did horrible things to Austin yet they still put them together. Sami did really horrible things to Lucas and he to her yet they still got married and people still love them as a couple to this day. The point being it’s a soap and people do horrible, unspeakable things to each other but work it out and get past them. It shows the greatest form of forgiveness and redemption something most of us in real life wouldn’t have the strength or ability to do. Austin and Lucas forgave Sami, Sami forgave Lucas and Ej. Time for the rest of us to let it go.

@Ranae I was TOTALLY against Austin and Sami. One reason was because of the rape. The other reason was because he belongs with Carrie. Either way, I’m not a fan of a character hooking up with their rapist. I know it’s a soap, but c’mon.

Renae, I realize many were against Sami&Austin b/c of other reasons, but that was my only reason. I didn’t like Carrie&Austin. Then again I was 9 when Will was born, so I didn’t really form an opinion on this subject until a few years later.

Has anyone seen “Sassy Gay Friend” on YouTube? Yeah, Sami needs a “Sassy Gay Friend” intervention. Forreal.

Renae, obviously we’re never going to all agree on this, but I just wanted to let you know that I’m with you 100% “Forgiveness is an attribute of the strong” – Ganhdi

spartandolphin, o.k. having said that, I just checked out “Sassy Gay Friend” (Romeo and Juliet) and it was freakin’ hilarious! (But I’m still rooting for Ejami)

Thanks Sarah- totally agree with you- I have from the start- Sami started the origingal LIE & overall they each have done equally Wrong things to each other & that’s why I agree with many that they will end up together in the end!!!! EJAMI!!!!!

I probably shouldn’t even try but once again my point is they still put them together and despite Lucas and Sami’s long list of crimes against each other they still put them together as well.
****
On a seperate note. If Sami doesn’t love Ej I don’t want them together just like I didn’t want Austin with Sami cuz he didn’t love her. May – Aug episodes tell me Sami does still love Ej.
I thought what Lumi did to each other was dispicable but once I realized they loved each other I rooted for them to overcome the past and be together. Forgiveness, redemption and love conquers all make for a powerful SL and endearing couple in my book. (I must not be alone cuz the most popular soap couple of all time is Luke & Laura and Luke actually raped Laura in the way most of us usually think of rape). And what applied to Lumi can apply to Ejami. Even if they don’t become a couple Sami needs to forgive Ej for the Sydnapping for her sake and the sake of her kids.
As for the Rape Ej hasn’t raped anyone since, so apparently he has repented of that and changed and if Sami chose to forgive him and leave that in the past I don’t see it an issue any more.
Sad when people can’t let even a fictional character change or be forgiven/redeemed. Ej has made tons of changes and tried to make up for his mistakes. And if Sami can forgive him and wants to be with him I don’t see why anyone would object to it. Sorry 4 posting so much today apparentlly I’m on one and tired of people who can’t let go of the past or allow people to change whether real or fictional. NOte: This post was not directed at anyone in particluar.

Thank you Sarah for such a great post. I find it fascinating that whenever EJ and Sami are mentioned, the crowds go WILD. We are so passionate about our stances, aren’t we?
***
Having said that – Renae and Libby, we continue to be kindred spirits in this regard! Renae – EXCELLENT point about bringing up precious Lucas Mucus! Sami DID the same thing to him, yet it’s okay. Why is that? Libby – I too blame the WRITERS in all this mess. What poor writing! I continue to be embarrassed for them!
***
But back to the characters, because like it or lump it, they writers develop the characters for us….PLEASE STOP USING THE “RAPE” ARGUMENT. The writers have admitted it was a mistake and have moved on. So have the characters. It was a huge mistake on everyone’s part. BUT if you’re going to use the “rape” argument for defense, you have to equally mention that Sami herself is a rapist.
***
I blame them both, BUT I blame Sami more. Her comment about her being responsible for the original sin was the most sound, logical, common-sense statement she’s made all summer. This statement identifies her as the main contributor in the whole chain of events. Her actions were the cause to the effect of EJ’s response. This original sin comment also foreshadows that she has the propensity to forgive EJ for taking Sydney. I think with time, she will forgive him, just as she has forgiven him for many prior atrocities and just like he’s forgiven her for keeping her pregnancy a secret. While I’m on that subject, it NEVER made sense to me why it was okay for Johnny to live with EJ, but Sydney could not? What a poor reason the writers gave us in that storyline. I know AS was about to have her second child in real life and needed an excuse for Sami not to have as many scenes, but that is the best they could come up with? Hmmm…..
***
To wrap up my response, this whole summer was about EJ’s redemption as a character – to distinguish him from the DiMera reputation and to prove that he is capable of true love. We as the audience have been able to forgive Sami – why can’t we forgive EJ when they both have done equally deceiving, manipulative, evil actions? I, for one, feel for EJ – he is a complex, multi-dimensional character who is just intriguing to watch – just like Sami! So, I blame them both, but IN THE HERE AND NOW with this storyline, I blame Sami more.

Renae, we’re never going to agree on this subject, so I feel like we should leave it as it stands. This whole situation reminds me of a “Dear Abby” column I read lately. A woman was upset and broke off all contact with her sister because she found out the sister was dating the man who killed their other sister in a DUI a few years back. Is that man capable of changing? Sure. But I for one could never be with a person who (intentionally or not) took so much away from my family. To me forgiveness is one thing. Accepting them into your family is something entirely different.

Thanks everyone for the nice comments! I think Sami/Rafe/EJ/Lucas/Nicole will always be a front burner storyline for Days.

My stance is that Sami hasn’t been the same character in a long time. I loved villainess Sami. Sami is not feisty or spunky like she used to be. I would like to see the old Sami come back. It’s hard for me to root for her, when she is playing EJ and Rafe. I really try to be open-minded with her, but it’s hard the way the writers are portraying her. I haven’t been a fan of Sami since she hid Sydney’s existence from EJ.

I loved Sami in the Safehouse with Rafe.

I started watching Days when Sami was pregnant with the twins, and saw EJ, and was intrigued by the storyline. I fell in love with the show over Sami, EJ, and the twins, with Shawn and Belle as well. The show is amazing now.

I think Alison Sweeney is a wonderful actress, and think she will bring back the Sami, we all love!

I really enjoy Arianne’s portrayal of Nicole. I have been such a big fan of her since she arrived in Salem.

@Hannah Great post! I agree with everything you said.
I’m tired of the rape debate too. I respect the fact people might see EJ as a rapist and that’s their opinion, but it just seems to be the red herring on the show. I don’t think the rape scene was ever handled well by the writers, but it was four years ago. However, if you are a victim of rape or know someone who is, I can see why people still bring it up.

KatieR -Now that women has lost 2 sister instead of one, how sad. I think that’s really what it comes down to the level to which we can forgive a person. I to know a story of someone who lost his pregnant wife and 2 kids becuz of a drunk teenage driver. He reached out to the teenager and offered forgiveness and has invited him into his life. There are many other similar stories.
I myself have been a victim of sexual crime so I fully understand the ramifications of it and don’t take it lightly. The person didn’t change and served 25 years for crimes committed against others. I visited that person in jail (not a friend or family member) and extended forgiveness to them. So I also know the power and healing that comes from forgiving and letting go. I would not invite that person into my life cuz they haven’t changed and I’m not at that level and don’t know that I ever will be. I understand most of us wouldn’t accept someone who had done dispicable things into our families but why should we begrudge or judge someone else who would, especially if that person had or was trying to change? One of my favorite stories is Les Miserables what a difference that forgiveness that allows you to love that person and let them in can make. Like I said I couldn’t do it but it inspires me when I see others who can even in fictitious stories.
****
Stories of forgiveness and redemption are so powerful, in my opinion, because it is what each of us would want for ourselves but struggle so hard to give to others.
The world could do with more forgiveness.

I totally agree with this post. Sami is being a total bitch. Only Sami has the power to bring out the “good” in EJ, but she just messes with his head. She’s not happy unless she confuses the crap out of all the guys in her life.

And to the person who said this: “If he hadn’t done that, Lucas never woulda shot him…” That’s just all kinds of crazy. There are other ways to stop a wedding than trying to murder the groom. I don’t just shoot people when I don’t get my way.

I find this the one thing i can totally agree on, Beth’s comment: “Storyline or not, we cannot blame others for our own actions. We have choices and even though those choices can be influenced by the actions of others, the ultimate choice still remains our own.” <<—simply put & it all boils down to having to face the consequences of the choices we make then hopefully learn from it all.

Oh & may i just add…. EJ is soOo gorgeous (no offense to Rafe, he’s got the most gorgeous eyes ;D) i just wish he wouldn’t have to leave DAYS after his storyline with Sami ends & “Allison Sweeney” is one of the most humble actress i’ve ever met, she was soOo sweet when i met her in San Diego, i’m sure some people must be tired of them two, but i still hope those two won’t go too far from DAYS when their story is over with.

HOW could ANYONE Feel for EJ???? My God hasn’t anyone been watching since he joined the show. I am having a REAL problem w/sami forgiving him for raping her for one. How could ANYONE forgive that. Not to mention EVERYTHING Else he has done to her and her family. (FAMILY FRIST). I just want to jump into that TV and kick her butt w/A size 8 boot and wake her up.

Someone like him could change if they really wanted to BUT He doesn’t want to. He doesn’t deserve to B a father to those kids or even have anything to do w/them after this kidnapping crap.

They continue to make sami look like a LOSER!!! IT is time to let her grow up. Her smallest children R Brighter than she is. And more Grown up than she is. Let the poor women GROW UP WRITERS….She can grow up and still B SAMI…..

AND GIVE HER A JOB. NOONE could support 4 kids on NEVER working. she only worked once for a very short time the whole time she had been on the show. How does one do that. (NOT CHILD SUPPORT that is for sure.) So HOW does she do it. I really want to know so I can do it.

I always did blame Sami, her lies started the whole thing. Does that mean that Ej is justified? Of course not, but Sami is not the victim here.

enough with the freaking rape debate,it is going on to 2011, if that is your only reason why you don`t want them together, than your argument is pointless. Sami is a rapist,. theresa is a rapist ( Passions), Luke was a rapist ( GH), ETC,SAVE THE DOUBLE STANDARDS!

I completely disagree. EJ is evil. He was raised evil. Doing something good for once in his life does not make him a good guy. The things he has done are unforgivable. He is just like Stephano and cannot be trusted.
Yes Sami is not perfect, she did some horrible things in her past but she has matured and is not continuing to make those same mistakes. EJ manuipulates people into doing whatever he wants. There is a difference. He is a LOSER!

Michael I don’t want them together b/c they both do horrible things to each other everytime they get close to one another. Not only do I want different for Sami, I also want different for EJ. He deserves a woman who he can simply love, no strings attached. I thought Arianna could have been that person…..

Sami was also raped by Allan years ago,but she shot him and cut his ba88s off LOL

I like EJ with Nicole and Rafe,I think Sami and her 4 kids need to go visit Lucas in Hong Kong for a few months.

i can already imagine Roman Brady saying…”Well, if you can’t do the time, don’t do the crime!”

then Stefano DiMera comes up to EJ & says, “Son, do not worry, just be patient while i dig a hole out of your prison cell & I will make sure to find someone that looks just like you, we’ll kill him & make it look like you’ve died in prison & then we shall rise like the PHOENIX!”

and as the new-found DiMera, Chad comes in, he’ll say: “Don’t worry brother, I shall help you take revenge when you come back someday & take what is rightfully yours!”

then Will, being that there’s a Brady/Horton in his blood, he will come to the rescue & will someday say, “Over my dead body Chad!”

so then there goes another history repeating itself, the Brady vs DiMera….

i should probably add Bo in the future goin… “Oh hey let me sleep with another woman when my current wife starts depriving me of my needs, then we’ll have another woman having split personality & hey who knows maybe this time she’ll be the one to mug EJ & get rid of him for good! HAHAH!”

sorry, no offense everyone, it’s just me & my crazy ideas ;D oh boy i doubt i’ll make a good writer for DAYS l0lz!

Katie R

I am no longer a fan of Ejami, after I saw that she shot him. That is too much to handle, especially when she caused the entire thing with her lies. I agree Ej deserves better, Rafe can have her.

Michael Jenkins – I think they make it look like she is responsible – they’re setting it up for a whodunit storyline. Don’t give up on EJAMI just yet until we know for sure. I think they’re propping the storyline for a stronger EJAMI right now.

In addition, so many people have motive to shoot EJ if you think about it: Brady, Rafe, Sami, Nicole, Roman (although it’s least likely to be him), Victor, Will, and EJ himself.

i totally believe that Sami is at fault for some of EJ actions and we all must remember how she has always lead him on but backed away when he took the bait. Ejami needs to be squashed and thank God it has. I’ve been seeing alot ont the blog that there is a strong possibility that sydney is Nicole’s so we might get back Ejole. Which i believe is Ej’s one true relationship since he’s been on days

Michael, don’t forget that Lucas conceived Will with Sami while she was under age. Also, considered rape in the USA.

One more thing, Michael – SPOILER – There will be a series of dream sequences – it has been spoiled that we will encounter a series of dreams and will not know fact from dream for a little while concerning the EJAMI storyline. Don’t give up on EJAMI, Michael!

The whole EJ/Sami debate doesn’t excite me, and I’m sort of surprised at how passionate people get about it. Yeah, EJ has done some pretty awful things. So has Sami. And the whole “Sami has matured” argument is crap. She’s been playing EJ for months while pining away for Rafe (real mature). And despite what people may want to tell themselves, she isn’t just magically “good” now.
-
She kept EJ from his own daughter. Considering that Sydney’s conception was consensual, there isn’t any excuse for that. He wasn’t too evil for her to sleep with, so she needed to grow up and face the consequences of her actions. EJ is certainly to blame for kidnapping Sydney, but I don’t think that what he did was somehow worse. Knowing that had Sami gotten to raise Sydney from the start she would have kept her from EJ forever, I think kidnapping that child and deciding on his own to bring her back (not being guilted into doing so by the child’s death) shows that he has remorse for his actions, which Sami never had about Grace until it was too late.
-
They’ve both lied, they’ve both been manipulative, and yes, at times, evil. But that’s why they deserve eachother. Who else in Salem would be able to repeatedly forgive Sami for all her lies and schemes? Not Rafe, and he shouldn’t have to. They’re both baddies who (most of the time) have good intentions. They both long for forgiveness for their own crimes, and therefore have a greater capacity to forgive than the average person would. Oh, and if you’re going to have two rapists in Salem, you might as well put them together.

Ellefire,, Lucas and Sami was under age when conceived Will,
they were in love and happy and alot of kids are conceived this way and it was not rape, it was two people in love,,,and from that love they had Will.

Okay Hannah, thanks for that, I don`t want to give up but it is hard ya know,hopefully they would find their way back to each other.

Michael, I FEEL YOUR PAIN. However, I have to update you on one thing – I think the “dream sequence” may be faulty information. BUT I just don’t think that Sami could shoot EJ. The BIG piece of foreshadowing for me is the fact that the scene is shot through the perspective of the mirror. That lends itself to indicate that everything is not as it seems. I’m not giving up on EJAMI until December, as KC indicated in an interview that there will be yet another big incident happening in Nov. sweeps regarding EJAMI/SAFE. So, keep the EJAMI faith!!!!

Yea I don`t think she would either, because that would just kill ejami for me. It is one thing to get revenge, but it is another to shoot someone in just cold blood.

thanks, I`ll try, but right I am just neutral to them.

Please sop all this pain between Sami and EJ… they are both at fault. They need to find a less painful way to get along because of the kids.. maybe I am just to sensitive to this..

Helen, if you think you are too sensitive, that’s just not the case. This story line is incredibly intense. Some of the most emotional stuff I’ve seen outside of a Charlotte Bronte novel. I’m thinking that when things cool down, it would be nice to keep them at least a bit cooler for a while. We’ve all been drauma-tized!

Sorry, meant to say Emily Bronte.

AliciaE, this is seriously dark and intense, but the two best actors in daytime (JS and AS) can handle it and bring it! Did you find yourself on the edge of your seat – I know I was sitting up straight and engaged and my mouth was opened. I am so invested in EJAMI and this storyline is extremely sensitive. After the last two days’ epis, I do sympathize more with EJ.

Hannah, I would love to hold E.J. like a sweet baby boy. I hope you are right and it’s not her that shoots him…

Oh my if it’s her I’ll LOSE it, AliciaE. How can EJAMI rebound from this one? I’m interested to see how they work it out.

Last time I checked back in the day Sami did not only rape but drug her sister’s boyfriend (Austin).

Kept Will’s father a secret when she discovered it wasnt Austin’s.

There is plenty of blame to go around for the demise of EJ Dimera but like his father…..he will rise again and be stronger than ever. A Dimera never stays down for long.

Besides sure EJ kidnapped his own daughter to exact revenge and I know that may be wrong and all but to not say Sami had some part in EJ’s so called evil deeds is downright dumb.

Sami still has feelings for EJ. Sure she feels betrayed and she should, but part of her is probably mostly upset because as much as she claims he hates him now, deep down I feel that Sami still loves EJ.

Nothing against Rafe, but him and Sami as a couple are boring. Give me EJ and Sami anyday of the week please.

Lucassami When Lucas and Sami conceived Will it was and I quote ” Pity sex.” Those were Lucas words not mine. So how is pity sex love?

I don’t think it’s a dream sequence. I think KC said Sami has a moment of temporary insanity. I am really enjoying the reunion of Safe, and I’m becoming a Sami fan again. I hate that Sami shoots EJ, but I just can’t get behind Ejami as a couple. No offense to all the fans, their relationship just seems volatile to me. I don’t see how it can equal true love, if they hurt each other so much. I prefer Safe.

I think that Sammi is part of the blame…what i dont understand is why everyone is forgives Sammi for hiding Grace when she is just as evil as EJ. She drugged Austin Raped him, kept Will from Lucas, When Lucas found out she claimed he was abusive to Will so he couldnt have custody, switched DNA, Kidnapped her own baby sister Belle and tried to sell her….come on…Sammi is evil and she has not just changed…she was just doing the Stan bit, not to long ago, The only reason she hasnt been in trouble is because she has been wrapped up in storylines with EJ. I think that she does love EJ and whats so sad about that is she dosent have enough guts to go with it….she can drug and rape Austin, but dosent have the guts to admit she loves a DiMera…..come on. I just think that EJ and Sammi could be a great Evil Super Couple, cant wait to see how this plays out. I dont think Sammi is the shooter….I think that its Will or possibly EJ himself.

i blame ej this is not sammi fault she is not the 1 who kidnapped her own daughter therefore i blame ej he is nothing but pure skum.

I also believe that Sami and Ej are volitile together but they will always be drawn to each other. Maybe in the end they will be together and there will be a new empire if Demira

I blame Sammi too but todays episode was great when they sorta paused in their fighting because of Johnny’s second surgery.
