DaysTalk

I hated that Ejami scene, it was heartbreaking, I hated seeing Sami rip ej heart out like that. She is such a hypocritical backbitting twit, I don`t want Ej with her anymore. She is pathetic, she blames everyone for her mistakes and never own up to them. Sami YOU are the one that lied in the first place, YOU are the one that did`nt want to move out in the mansion,YOU are the one that caused the entire thing! I hated seeing Ej say bye to his kids.

screw ejami, ej deserves better, let rafe have her!

Amy, I agree with you that the writers are trying to appease both camps and it is frustrating – but one thing I know to be sure is that EJAMI will be together – they have to work through this latest “secret” before there’s NO MORE secrets to obstruct a happy EJAMI union. Sami looked more hurt than anything when she heard EJ admit to what he had done. It was stellar acting from both AS and JS.
***
I agree that Victor could be responsible for the paternity switch because well, he’s VICTOR!!!

Michael – Sami is the culprit in this situation this time. I am not excusing EJ’s “kidnapping” of Sydney, but it is understandable, considering that he didn’t want to share parenting responsibilities with Rafe. I hate, hate, hate with the writers have done with Sami’s character.

I hate how hurt Ej was. I really think sami deseres everything that happened to her. She is the one who started it… I hope Rafe hurts her more than anything and she tries running back to Ej for him to be in loe with someone else. I kinda would like to see EJ and Arianna.

Trena, I agree with you that Sami is primarily to blame this time. I don’t know if I want Rafe to hurt her necessarily – I just want him to be out of the picture and given someone else to have a storyline with.

I’m glad Sami has Rafe to lean on now. Had he not loved her enough to not stop till he figured it all out-Sami would have made the biggest mistake of her life. I don’t understand the Rafe-hate when the man did what needed to be done and saved Sami and her children.
**
I truly believe Ejami is finally over. Ken C. said he was giving the audience what they want and while some do want Ejami the majority (or so it seems) do not. Rafe is a hero–and Days does a have a way of letting the heros win out in the end! Sami is just darn lucky he loves her!

As much as I loved Ejami, he deserves better. It was heartbreaking to see EJ’s reaction to what Sami was saying. I CANNOT stand Rafe. He didn’t want to be with Sami, but he goes to all this trouble for her?! I can’t stand him!!!!! And yes, I would love to see Arianna and Ej together.

My head says there is no reason to feel bad for E.J. (reference Jabie’s list of horrible things he’s done). My heart, jeez, it breaks for him because he’s such a good actor and the pain in his face/eyes when Sami left with the kids was gut-wrenching.
—
Also, didn’t E.J. try to kill Lucas at one point by locking him up in some refrigerated meat truck?
—
I liked reading Ali Sweeney’s FB post yesterday where she said she has been enjoying watching this week’s Days, and acknowledged how hard they worked on those scenes.

Oh, no Malissa–Rafe DOES want to be with Sami–just wait!
He has risked everything for the woman he loves–unlike Ej who was working just as hard to hurt and punish Sami. Justice is a lovely thing sometimes!
**
I agree that Arianna might have worked with EJ. She would be going in to the relationship knowing what she was getting. I know there were some fans fighting the idea of Ejanna but it might have been the best thing to happen to EJ.

Karen M. you betcha Ej did try to kill Lucas in the freezer truck! For that one thing alone I would never feel sorry for Ej. He has earned everything he is getting right now–all of it and then some more! He doesn’t care who he hurts if he thinks he gets what he wants in the end!

I am sorry but NO, EJ started it with his evil ways ever since he’s been on the show and I would’ve done the same thing as sami did, She was protecting her kids from that kinda life and EJ making her think her kid was dead really? At least sami admits her past mistakes and doesn’t blame them on other people, EJ doesn’t deserve Sami never has. There’s a big difference between protecting ur kids from a bad family\environment and then stealing your own kids for revenge that’s like blaming the child, ej traumatized Sidney by taking her away from her mother and so did Nicole that is no excuse for making a parent think their kid is dead just to get revenge, that’s immature and just plain wrong, EJ got what he deserved.

My Ejanna heart is breaking knowing that Lindsay is leaving in like 2 months Well, actually Lindsay already left, Arianna is leaving in *my guess* 2 months. I just hope we get some really good scenes b/w EJ and Arianna before then. I mean at the very least EJ needs a friend right now, and if DOOL isn’t gonna let me see them kiss, then I want them to be best friends. He had her back w/the mugging thing, and now it’s time to let her lend him a helping hand.

Malissa has a point – Rafe is always pointing out Sami’s shortcomings to her. Either you love someone for who they are or you don’t. Sure couples disagree and have problems, but Rafe was always pointing out Sami’s faults and acting as if he was way better than she was.
***
It’s not that I hate Rafe – he’s not that bad of a guy – it’s just that he’s more of a flat character – what is so dynamic about him? I think in part that’s because GG hasn’t completely gotten in touch with his character. He sticks out like a sore thumb when in scenes with EJ or Sami or both.
***
If you don’t feel badly for EJ, then don’t feel badly for Sami either, considering her long list of evil deeds (if you have to bring up EJ’s long list too). Many of these bad deeds have precipitated these events. Whether you like EJAMI or not, you must acknowledge that they are cut from the same mold. They’ve both done their share of evil deeds and they’ve both been held accountable for them.
***
Having said that, they’ve each taken turns being “less” responsible for their actions, but in this case, they’re pretty equal. Here’s how:
***
EJ shouldn’t have “kidnapped” Sydney – granted. He shouldn’t have made Sami believe she was dead – noted. BUT Sami started the whole thing spiraling downwards when she chose to hide her pregnancy. Her argument of the DiMeras being such a bad influence on her children is flawed in that it was perfectly acceptable for Johnny to remain with his father, but not Sydney? How does that make sense especially when Sami ranted and raved at how great a father EJ was…yet she hides pregnancy #2? Secondly, Rafe is the rebound guy – sorry, but that’s the truth. It’s not that Sami doesn’t hold some genuine feelings for him, but she was dreaming about marrying EJ in the safe house/convent….she was furious to learn that EJ had moved on with Nicole. So, Rafe was SAFE and he was available. Why not see where that led her? The point is that she never gave EJ a chance to prove to her that he was capable of protecting her and her children – NEVER. She assumed and then justified that assumption when he decided to marry Nicole. Thirdly, Sami should have come clean when all was clear and she returned from WP. Who was there to encourage her in her deceit? Rafe…
***
EJ retaliated in revenge (his personality flaw, but it’s also Sami’s). He shouldn’t have done it and it angered me that they led him down that road of villain yet again, but it is understandable. Sami will eventually come to that realization and though it may take some time, she will forgive him. No way is EJAMI done….they’ll always be intertwined in some way. No one in Salem knows them better than each other.

I wish Arianna was still around. I loved her bond with EJ, even if it was friendship. I am glad Safe will get back together. I really like their chemistry. I’m guessing from James’ Michael Fairman Interview that he pointed out that EJ should be alone if he wasn’t with Sami, because it doesn’t make sense for EJ to just have someone new. I think that’s the direction they are heading.

As far as a new love interest for EJ, I was thinking maybe Carly.

its all over for him nobody wants to be with demera skum

i hope she will marry rafe

I agree with Jabbie EJami will be together again. Them trying to appease to camps is so stupid they are losing viewers on both sides out of sheer frustration. They need to not keep dragging this out.
****
Safe lose no time literally! But in my opinion they are doomed as soon as they begin.
***
Haley – If Rafe loved Sami he could have been with her he didn’t have to push her away and treat her so poorly. He could have brought Ej down while they were together. And what up with his obsession with Ej’s kids -one of the main reasons I don’t like him. I don’t get where people see this great love with Safe. They started out as a rebound were built on keeping Ej’s kid from him, Rafe has repeatedly walked out on her and didn’t show enough trust to tell her about Emily and now once again their relationship is built around Ej and keeping a secret. I see nothing romantic about them or endearing and am really tired of who Sami is when she is with him and him constantly belittling her.

When ppl say the Rafe points out Sami’s short comings or doesn’t accept Sami for who she is… I TOTALLY disagree. He only gives her crap when it comes to EJ and the DiMera influence. Other than that, he accepts her. Sami gave Rafe a complete run down of every crime she committed and every bad thing she did. He didn’t tell her what a bad person she was for her actions.
Everybody else in Sami’s life told her the SAME things Rafe was telling her: don’t let EJ fool you.
Rafe only complained to Sami because he knew EJ was lying to her. AND HE WAS RIGHT!

Haley- the majority want Ejami. Ej wins every poll and in the recent NBC poll asking who you want Sami to be with Ej won at 73% and it is not a poll you can spam. So if KC is going to be true to his word Ejami is not over!

Hannah ITA with everything you said, great post

Hannah questioned “Her argument of the DiMeras being such a bad influence on her children is flawed in that it was perfectly acceptable for Johnny to remain with his father, but not Sydney? How does that make sense especially when Sami ranted and raved at how great a father EJ was…yet she hides pregnancy #2?”
***
I understand what you are saying however, she had to make a panic decision. The answer is because Sydney was inside of Sami’s body at the time and she had a DiMera hitman trying to murder her. If she was murdered, the baby would have died. That was the only way she knew to protect the baby (Sydney). There is no way Stefano or EJ would harm Johnny and Sami knew that. In her absence, who could she leave Johnny with? If she insisted on leaving him with someone else, EJ would never have allowed being away from his son and it would have caused a battle. I don’t think there is anything “perfectly acceptable” about the whole situation, but it was the decision she made.
***
I don’t think her secret was fair to EJ. I think she wished she didn’t have another DiMera baby. She couldn’t erase the fact that Johnny was a DiMera, so she was trying to “pretend” that this last pregnancy was not a DiMera. I don’t agree with her choice. However, I think women do make those choices in real life for different reasons.

I think Sami acted like a bitch like she made my poor EJ cry and she hadto tell him that the reason why she was going to marry ej is cuz she was made at rafe?!!? and she throws the ring at him? like i love ejami but sami pissed me off. the part where EJ says goodbye to Johnny made me cry when they left and he didnt get to say goodbye to to sydney and then EJ is by himself crying and looking at the ring it broke my heart I LOVE YOU EJ

DebbieR – I see your point, but she could have told EJ at any point before she did.

Christina – I, too, side more with EJ on this one than Sami but guess what? That’s what the writers WANT us to do. In a recent JS interview, he indicated that the writers are writing to make EJ more of the victim – he pretty much insisted that they shift from making him the villain to the victim. And, we see that this shift began in early summer as EJAMI were drawing closer.

Hannah – Yes, as I said, I don’t think her secret was fair. So, she should have told EJ.
Equally, EJ should have told Sami that he was the kidnapper instead of creating this web of lies and crimes for months and months. Once he realized he loved Sami (which Anna had to convince him) he should have returned the baby out of truth and love. But, he created more lies that he paid the ransom and became Sami’s hero (fake). How lame.

Everyone forgets Sami started this and yes EJ is human. He had changed. They also forget lucas and Kate put Sami on death row. That’s a little worse wouldn’t you say. The stellar acting of Ali Sweeney and James Scott this week truly emphasized their status as a “super couple”. Rafe’s glee over being right was wrong. He wasn’t concerned about the pain only that he was right. Rafe and Sami Have no chemistry whatsoever! We need Ejami!

DebbieR – I disagree Sami didn’t regret it being a Dimera baby she regreted Ej being with Nicole and getting her pregnant and feared Stefano’s influence on the baby. In a conversation with Lucas she wanted to tell Ej but was worried Ej didn’t want her any more (her own doing from pushing him away) she was going to tell him the day he came to see her in the hospital but then found out he had been with Nicole and threw one of her famous Sami fits and didn’t tell him!
You have to remember that on the same day the mayor got shot right before seeing that she saw Ej and Nicole making love on the couch. I would argue that Nicole and feeling jilted were Sami’s real reason for not telling Ej and I think the fact that she moved every one of her kids into the mansion including Ali who is not even Ej’s is proof that Dimera influence or danger was not the real motivation. This is Sami we are talking about and you can’t ever take her at her word! You also have to remember what Will said that she has never put her kids first – that is a very true statement. It is also important to remember that this is not the first time she has kept a child away from their father claiming they were dangerous she did it with Lucas and Will. And Lucas is no Dimera.
***
I also saw the irony in the fact that once again Nicole is the source of Sami’s decisions. She saw Nicole kissing Rafe and wanted to get married the next day. Sami needs counseling that’s all there is to it.

DebbieR – we agree!

J – Took the words right out of my mouth!!!! Renae – ITA with you.

Renae–yes, Sami does need counseling. I would really like to see her all alone and getting a damn job with 4 kids to care for. Well, Grandma Caroline will
take good care of all 4 of them, what else does the
poor woman have to do, she never goes out, doesn’t even play bridge, never drinks, etc. What a
life, underappreciated for sure.
Victor throws her a bone every now and then.
Then it is on to Viv and now Maggie, I don’t know.
Yeah, love Kate, what is she mad about, she’s hiding a real good secret that is going to get her and Stephano divorced when he finds out. He may even chop off one of her blue tresses !

Poor jaw-wired Josh Taylor–your comment had me in stitches, Jabie!

I cannot believe we are going where the writers are taking us. I still hope for EJ and Sami in the end.
**
But as Jabie and Amy said, it could be waaay on down the road. There is a line of thinking that the latest “twist” ( starting to hate that word – if I say it out loud – I tend to animate quotation marks with my fingers!) will provide Sami with the revelations (1) that she could lose control of her mind and do something that she would never think she was capable of – and be ashamed — and be afraid to admit it — jsut like EJ.
(2) she will realize when EJ is critical that in fact she does love him after all.
**
Goodness knows. This is beyond extreme. Ii am still rooting for Ej and Sami. I hope others do too – and tune into the show. Ratings need to go up.

**

Am I alone in thinking that we should have at least one happy storyline going now? This is the darkest I can remember the show in my 38 yrs of watching.
**
Thanks for the recap – nice to see Jabie so animated.

I agree of those that believe that it wasnt Sami’s fault because she was trying to protect her kids from Stefano and Nicole started the baby switching process and I AM glad that Rafe figured it out the whole thing and he was MAN enough to prove his love for Sami than ANY man has ever did for Sami and show her the proof that he’s got from Nicole about EJ’s confession about the kidnapping and that IS LOVE!! EJ shouldnt done the kidnapping thing and made them believe that Sydney was dead and trying to have Rafe and Sami apart as well during the whole thing!!! So I will be glad that Sami will shot EJ!!

Hate to burst the bubble of all the SAFE fans out there (I am not one of them) but this is not the end of EJ and Sami.

Like it or not EJ and Sami will end up together again. Eventually she will forgive him. I mean she forgave him for forcing her to have sex with him the first time (resulting in the twins being conceived). Besides do you actually think anyone that gets involved with a Dimera and has kids with one ever really is going to get away from them? Sami and EJ are forever connected because of Johnny and Syndey.

Besides EJ is a character I think most of the fans love to hate….just like Sami was back in the day.

So while I think the show will push together Rafe and Sami for awhile there is no way I believe that EJ and Sami are over.

I love that Ejami is complexed. They are not all good or all bad. It just makes them so much fun to watch. While Ej did kidnap Sydney Sami isn’t blameless. When she told him the only reason she was marrying was because she saw Rafe kiss Nicole you could feel the pain on Ej face. She may have uped the wedding date because of that kiss but she said yes befor it. Sami is not one to throw the word love around and when she told Ej she loved him she ment it. I’m not saying she doesn’t love Rafe. Like I said Sami doesn’t throw the word love around. But Sami also tends to fan for the so called good guy hero weather or not its real love or just a fantasy. I really think if Rafe really loved Sami, tape or no tape he would have told her not to marry Ej just for the fact that he loves her. I don’t understand why he had to wait until he got the goods on Ej to stop Sami. Its almost like he just wants to stick it to Ej and not because he loves Sami.

Libby – I will always root for EJAMI – always. I love that they’re gray and that they are not a traditional soap couple. They’re a super couple and they’re not together officially. Yes DOOL is dark right now overall, but I’m excited to see things speed up in pace – we were slower than a snail’s pace this summer and it was difficult to watch. I haven’t fast-forward through a scene in two weeks or so. Things are getting interesting and I didn’t think it would be possible since June.
***
Michael – we’re kindred spirits, you and me. EJAMI will always be together – they’re fated to be so.

Jennifer M: How do you NOT understand why Rafe needed to get the proof? It wasn’t a matter of Rafe “telling” Sami not to marry EJ. Sami is a fool and needed more than WORDS. Everybody “told” Sami not to marry EJ. Rafe has tried to get Sami away from him, but Sami believed the web of lies and believed that EJ was a changed man. EJ has known Sami long enough to know what Sami would believe. He knew the tricks he could play. Rafe knew EJ was full of crap and Sami was falling for all of EJ’s lies. Rafe tried telling her that her beliefs were wrong… and THAT is when ppl say that “Rafe doesn’t accept Sami for who she really is.” The only thing he complains to her about is her relationship with EJ. “Telling” her doesn’t work. This is Sami we’re talking about.
Rafe is damned no matter what. He will forever be hated by Ejami fans for obvious reasons… he’s the other guy in the EJAMI saga. Plus the fact that he brought the proof to Sami about EJ kidnapping Sydney and saying the baby was dead.
Perhaps, EJ should have been a real man months ago and owned up to what he did and Rafe wouldn’t have to break the news to Sami.

This episode definatly made EJ look like the victim…for as long as I’ve been wAtching I find it way easier to forgive Ej than Sami for all the horrible things done…maybe because he’s charming lol but really seems sincere whereas Sami just comes off as self-righteous and has an excuse or blames someone else for her actions…

Rafe’s character is similar to when he was on Passions the whole cop-hero guy but he seemed more likeable to me on PAssions than DOOL possibly because it seems he is always trying to “win” and going back to hiding Grace…how is that abiding by this moral code he stands behind? The writers never gave his character his own identity- they started to with his x wife storyline which flatlined…It’s like Rafe has no personality no life no nothing w out Sami his whole character depends on her.,.I think they need to give him his own issues and personality so viewers can see something besides this obsessive work driven “love” for saving the damsel n distress and her children…I mean simple things they never mention about him like does he even want kids of his own? It’s never about him just Sami

Yes EJ should had come clean like….back in April when he realized he loved Sami. Duh, EJ. BUT to say that his love for Sami is a lie just doesn’t gel with me. I think he truly loves Sami – she thinks it’s all a lie because of the kidnapping reveal.
***
As I’ve said before, it’s not that I hate Rafe – it’s just that he is more of a flat character when placed against EJ and Sami. He’s not in their league at all – GG needs to come to grips with his character more assertively. I’d love to see him with someone else on the show.

Debbie R, Rafe wouldn’t have had to say a word. All he had to do to end the engagement was to F*** Sami in the locker room. Or if he wanted to be a little more romantic he could have said, ” Sami, I love you and I want us to be together. Don’t marry E.J. That’s all she was waiting for. And as for him not accepting that she has feelings for, and a bond with a man she shares two children with… Yeah, that’s gonna be a problem. It doesn’t matter that it’s the ONLY thing, because it’s a big thing. He can’t accept any emotional connection between the two, and that’s going to be the downfall of Safe. (Plus Sami’s a freakin’ maniac. There’s always that.) If he had just told Sami that HE didn’t trust E.J., but could try to understand why SHE did, it would have made all the difference. This still applies, even with Rafe proven “right” because it’s about acceptance, not correctness.

DebbieR, I have to agree w/ you, Rafe has always had Sami’s back, and he only points out that she has a blind spot when it comes to E.J.
Doh!, my hubby has been pointing out all of my flaws lately….and all this time I thought I was perfect, LOL!

Hannah, I’m not sure if you were addressing my comment or not. But, I didn’t say that EJ’s love for Sami was a lie. I said he created a web of lies.

The thought of EJ and Arianna together made me literally gag. EJanna sounds like a STD. Just the thought of them kissing…gross…yucky! EJ is way too hot for that girl. It’s like you see a couple walking down the street together and the guy is beyond good looking and the girl is not attractive. Then you think “Oh she must have a great personality,” and then you come to find out she’s obnoxious.

The whole time that EJ was explaining to Sami why he did what he did, I thought he had so many valid points. Sami was so upset that she wasn’t really listening. She heard the words, but her anger was blocking actually understanding his point of view.
EJ was betrayed by everyone he trusted, especially the most person important person to him: Sami. When Sami does something wrong, she always has someone to turn to help her pick up the pieces. That person was Rafe, before that was Lucas, before that was Austin, etc. Who did EJ have? He was completely alone. No friends, no family. Anger and resentment combined with loneliness is toxic. He snapped and started plotting revenge. He comes to realize that revenge is not going to make him happy, love and building his family was the only way to get him out of his loneliness and pain. Yes he should have told the truth, but he was too ashamed of what he had done.

I don’t understand why everyone doesn’t think Rafe is an asshole. He’s controlling, he insults Sami constantly, he plays with her emotions, he keeps secrets, and he is only nice to Sami when he wants sex. I get a feeling he gets joy in torturing Sami. Why is that he always waits until the very last minute to tell Sami the truth? Can’t he just ease her into it? She’s already emotional as it is, what is he trying to do give her a heart attack? Then he says that he’s sorry for telling her that way? Really?!? FBI agent my ass, he’s more suited as a Private (Public) Dick! Don’t even get me started on how cold he was towards Nicole.

Ellefire – THANK YOU for saying EJANNA makes you wanna gag – me TOO. EJ and Kate had more chemistry than EJANNA. Seriously!!!! Thank you also for pointing out that Rafe could have come clean with Sami when he first returned from his excursion to find Anna. He is definitely worth watching – I don’t trust his motives at all right now. That and the fact that he is a flat character and just boring to watch when compared to EJ and Sami.
***
DebbieR – sorry, I misunderstood you!

Hannah, I agree, Ejanna = yuk (to use my 5-year-old’s terminology).
Never really liked the new Arianna character, even though I think LH is a decent actress.

I like Arianna! Not with E.J. though. He’s reserved for Princess Crazy-Pants. I could buy them as buddies, but when E.J. turns on the charm, Arianna seems oblivious! Same charm on Sami and she’s squirming like a school-girl with a crush on Teacher. (Well, not so much at the moment. But I’m choosing to block that out for a day.)

Wow, Ellefire, ‘Ejanna sounds like an STD’??? And you don’t think Lindsay Hartley is pretty? No offense to Alison Sweeney (who is beautiful), but Lindsay is hotter than her.
-
And I find it ridiculous that the only person some EJ fans want with EJ is Sami. The same Sami who just left him at the altar. The same Sami who took their kids and left without even letting him say goodbye to Sydney. The same Sami who later this week will try to KILL him! And somehow that’s his perfect match?? I’m sorry but that is not love. I want better for EJ. He deserves someone who isn’t a psycho.

And you definitely don’t have to like EJ and Arianna together. If you find Arianna annoying, fine. But making up ridiculous claims abt Lindsay being ‘homely’ or whatever, is wrong.

So glad EJAMI is dead! Long live SAFE!

Debbie R I think is was a matter for Rafe to tell Sami not to marry Ej. All he had to do was say it. I get that he doesn’t like Ej but doesn’t he has enough trust in Sami that she’ll chose him. What if Ej wasn’t behind the kidnapping? What if Ej did do anything? Would Rafe have just sat back and watch the woman he loves marry another guy? Shouldn’t the only reason for her not to marry Ej be that Rafe loves her? I remember Tony running to stop Renee from marring David, he had no reason to stop it but that he loved Renee and she wasn’t his sister. David wasn’t some evil person. Also I don’t like Rafe for how he used and treated Nicole. That was a jerky move.

KatieR – my first reaction to your question is “it’s a soap”, but I don’t want to come across as condescending or smart b/c that’s not what I’m meaning. I guess since this is soap opera land, they are my couple b/c logic cannot completely defend EJAMI. Having said that, I support them b/c they’re cut from the same mold – when that happens, you love, hate, you’re passionate, involved, and you can really hurt that person. Since they’re gray independently, they’re gray together and that = intriguing. When EJAMI are with other people, they’re washed out and and lose their luster. When they’re together – WOW, just WOW. I love it when they fight, make love, play, flirt, laugh – ALL of it. It probably doesn’t answer your question to satisfaction, but it works for me and the other EJAMIs out there.
***
With whom would you pair EJ?

Possible memory lapse on my part, but did Sami leave E.J. at the alter, or did Lucas shoot him before they could close the deal?

Wow, people! Talk about not getting it. I never said Arianna/LH is hideous. I didn’t even say that I don’t think she’s pretty. If you put her next to James Scott who is in suits and all decked out, she doesn’t measure up. Also, let me just disclaim that there was a typo as I meant to say “not AS attractive.”
========================================
KatieR, I don’t think Alison Sweeney’s looks are much better than Lindsay Hartley. I think that they look different. No disrespect to blonds of the world, but I rarely find blonds to be attractive, so the sheer fact that I prefer Alison Sweeney to Lindsay Hartley speaks volumes. The only reason being is that Alison Sweeney presents herself better, which is sad that Lindsay Hartley is an ex-beauty queen and she should know better. Nadia Bjorlin is also an ex-beauty queen, but you can tell she was.
========================================
Yes, Sami has been incredibly cruel to EJ and I think it’s because the writer’s are getting pressure to bring back the old Sami. This isn’t the old Sami though. The old Sami, like Arianna, was not a villain but extremely annoying. This new side of Sami is nothing like the old Sami. I think she’s psycho to be honest. For me to hate Sami and EJ together, I would have to forget about their chemistry. I am still reeling from the panting scene between the two. I could watch 5 hours of that and it still wouldn’t be enough.
========================================
I think Rafe is to blame for Sami being irrational. All that “Don’t touch her” BS was just a sneaky way to convince Sami that EJ is violent. Complete brainwash. He had her convinced that EJ never loved her. In a future episode, he even has the nerve to say over and over again that he is the trustworthy one. What did EJ ever do to Rafe? EJ almost got himself killed to save Rafe’s life from a hitman. Did Rafe forget about that? Anything that happened to Rafe was not on EJ’s orders, it was all Stefano. At least EJ is man enough to apologize to Sami when he does something wrong and mean it!

Ellefire – ITA with EVERYTHING you said. We’re on the same page – great post!

I dunno guys, to me, E.J. didn’t exactly apologize, although it was obvious he was sorry. He threw Sami under the bus for everything she had done in the past.
I’m not taking sides on this one, I’m just interested to see how it plays out.
But, EJ yelling at her and pointing out everything she did wrong to protect himself does not seem like a sincere apology in my book.

Amy the only way Ejami will ever die is if James or Alison leave the show. Or I get taken to the loney bin because I will never believe Ejami is dead. I really don’t look good in those jackets so here’s hoping that won’t happen.

————–

To Safe fans okay enjoy it while you have it. I understand its always nice to see your couple come together. I will be sad but like all things in soaps you got to take the good with the bad. So heres to your couple. Don’t say an Ejami fan isn’t nice.

Jennifer M: Cheers. I think we’ll all be in straight jackets before this is over. LOL

Jennifer M and Debbie R, can I add a “clink” to that cheer? I’d like to follow Jennifer M’s example and be a better sport.
I realized that I’ve let what I perceived to be inconsistent actions on the part of Sami and E.J. slide, (on account of the weird writing) but I haven’t cut Rafe the same slack. The writer’s chose to have Sami and Rafe going around in circles with each other right before and after the engagement for the sake of the plot. This put Rafe in a bad light imo, but now I’m going to give him the benefit of the doubt.
And if it wasn’t for Rafe, Ejami would have been married under a “veil of lies” as Debbie R so aptly put it.

Hannah, great point on comment #13 about how Rafe encouraged and assisted Sami in hiding her pregnancy from E.J. …And then trying to adopt Grace illegally really takes that to another level. He seems to feel totally justified in having done so, too! Talk about a wild triangle. Somehow I don’t see a Brady/DiMera/Hernandez Thanksgiving dinner happening any time soon.

Our Soap is so soapy right now… I feel like I’m up to my eyeballs in suds.

Alex, I hadn’t really thought about it until I read your post, but I think you make a good point re: Rafe’s character. They really do need to develop his character and give him a life beyond Sami. Even with his sister’s there’s not much interaction there.
I like GG, but the writers need to do right by him and give him a life.

the word is sahr-KOF-uh-guhs

Alicia E yes we don’t want Ejami married under a veil of lies. I really thought I’d take the break up harder but I’m finding I took Bricole alot harder than I did Ejami. Maybe because under it all what Ej said to Sami about her still loving him was true. Where as Brady just seemed broken and cold. While spoilers do give me hope for Bricole its just hard to watch a drunk Brady turn away from a scared for her life Nicole. Where Sami and Ej heated fight just makes me want to watch them more. My god the suds are high. Everyday is a must see.

how would victor know that a paternity test had been done? everyone seems to know everything about everyone else!

Ellefire, I didn’t misconstrue what you said. You put it right out there in your first post, you don’t think Lindsay is attractive. I obviously disagree with you. And no, I don’t think it ‘speaks volumes’ as to you prefering Sami to Arianna. The only thing I think it shows is that you like Sami more than Arianna. Which is fine. And understandable. Sami’s a longterm character with rich family history and personal history. Arianna is a relatively new character with little history and a brother who you hate and who’s meddlesome ways have kept a couple you like apart.

KatieR, I don’t presume to know what you’re thinking and I don’t put words in your mouth that never existed. That’s just not what kind of person I am. I also wouldn’t put anyone down on here for the mere fact that they don’t agree with me. Debbie R and I disagree with each other yet we joke about our differences.
Nice try on trying to figure me out. You get an A+ for effort though.
I don’t mind Arianna to be EJ’s friend. On today’s episode, I wanted to give her a high five. I was looking forward to seeing Stacy Haiduk on to be a great fling for EJ. She’s stunning and super sexy. Come on now, EJ needs to get laid.
I think Galen Gering is hilarious. I follow his tweets on Twitter. I also loved Rafe with Nicole. Now, talk about hot. I just hate that everyone portrays Rafe as this perfect sweet guy when he is not. I think it’s refreshing to finally have an intelligent person in Rafe, but his methods are not respectable.
I like EJ and Sami together, yes, but I would never call myself an EJAMI. I hate nicknames for one thing and I am firstly an EJ fan. I want to see him get what he has wanted from the beginning. I am invested in the couple, because they have built a destiny story between the two. Sami on her own isn’t interesting enough for me to watch.

that is how we fans of LUMI/Lucas and Sami feels too, we invested in this couple,they built a destiny,they have family and just wait and see Lucas will be back,but I hope not for Sami but for his family,I am done with Sami.
It was heartbreaking to see Sami go to EJ,and it was hard to see EJ take over Lucas’s family.Rafe should never have been in the picture or on the show, JMO

cher you need to get a life, you have no room to talk. did anyone give you permission to get on this site? NO so save your rude comments to yourself.

I want Ej to get revenge, she deserves it.

Wish I had the inclination to watch the show again. I looked forward to seeing Sami and E.J. together. But, frankly, the Safe reunion turned me off completely. It’s been too many maybes on reuniting Ejami. It’s like the boy who cried wolf and now it’s not even believable. Something tells me the show isn’t going to last very much longer and we’ll be seeing the younger Days actors on other soaps.

Ellefire…thank you…another person who can’t stand the silly name combos!

I was just reading Karen M and Ellefire comment on name combos and it got me to wounder what Amy and Jabie name combo would be. I know a silly thing to think of when Karen and Ellefire hate name combos but I couldn’t help it. I was thinking Ambie or would it be Jamy? Jabie and Amy what would your combo name be? Karen and Ellefire sorry if this makes you mad but really I couldn’t help myself.

OK, EVERYONE! STOP, STOP, STOP……..with the carrying on saying that EJ should have come clean about the kidnapping…… YES, he did have the choice to come clean, and………

He would have loved to have done that, BUT, he knows Sami like no other, and if he had come clean, Sami would have EXPLODED. She would have left him right then and there!

IN EJ’S EYES …his only chance was to keep it from her, and try to convince her of his LOVE for her…He realized the mistake of his actions after the fact…(just like Sami has realized the mistakes of her actions….after the fact & tryed to make things right in the only way she knows, DECEPTION!)

This is just exactly what EJ did. He tryed to make a right by yet doing another wrong. That’s how EJAMI thinks…..SO THERE, can I say 2 peas in the same pod? YES!

Agree or not agree……..IT IS WHAT IT IS!!!
