    Days didn’t give me any hint as to who survives and who doesn’t.
    I was ticked off at Nicole trying to delay Daniel from leaving. Geesh girl, his daughter is missing and in danger! And she’s yacking away about him taking a moment and chilling out, etc. I’d love to see Nicole hang around a party if her kid was in jeopardy.
    Maybe I saw this wrong but when Roman et al pointed their guns at EJ, it looked to me like he kind of pushed Sami in front of him. What did everyone else think?
    It was great to see Doug and Julie as always.

    As soon as E.J. stood up with his back to Roman, and then slowly turned around, Sami got up on her feet and E.J. certainly did put his hands on her arms, looking as if he pulled her in front of him, as if he was using her as a human shield.  Geez, what a guy!  LOL.

     But then the next scene, he was telling her to sit, or whatever. And I thought Sami and EJ were only one story up, it made it seem like she was falling off a cliff.

    I’ll say it again, Gabi is evil. WHY would she go back and try to save Andrew????

    The show was good today though, Abe & Theo made me cry.

    envision a Western movie, where the outlaw grabs the sheriff’s daughter, as if to say, "You have to go through her first," knowing Roman wouldn’t shoot Sami.  So, in that way, I think he was, indeed, using her as a shield.  (I admit I momentarily missed that tiny part of the scene, but I know you guys got it right.)  I wonder if EJ even considered how that must have startled Sami.

    It still amazes me how good they can make this stuff look.  Wish there was a site that showed how they filmed all of that.  What a rush!

    So, I am not the only one who saw EJ using Sami as shield. I definitely saw him put his hands on her and move her into place.

    I’m just wondering if that was the writers’ intent.  It didn’t seem to have done with any real force but I could understand why he would do it.

    IMO, EJ just doesn’t seem to have any urgency in his actions.  It doesn’t seem like he is desperate enough.  Anybody else get that?

    I always take that as part of his smug, arrogant personality that he’s almost saying, "Na, Na, Na, Na, Na…I bet you can’t get me!"  He’s the "Teflon Don" who does as he damn well pleases and always gets away with it…just my opinion.

    that you mention it, it is kind of odd that EJ doesn’t get flustered.  Is he a robot?

    Perfect analogy of EJ’s character, and I agree.

     I think it was supposed to look as if Sammi stepped in front of him and EJ tried to stop her.  It certainly didn’t come off that way though.

    DiMera – through and through.  Even though right now the DOOL writers have re-written history yet again, (that he is not Stefano’s child). He was raised by Stefano, hence EJ’s hardball cold and calculating demeanor as a DiMera. If it walks like a duck….

    I noticed EJ grabbing her as well.

    held that EJ’s coldness comes mainly from Stefano’s influence (although it could be inherited), whether or not he turns up to be a DiMera by blood.

    I guess most people have probably heard about the findings experts found regarding: inherited characteristics, versus or combined with, environmental influences (even among geologically-separated twins).  I agreed with their findings, as I had witnessed many cases before.

    Who knows how the writers will depict EJ’s bloodline, going forward, in solving the identity of EJ’s real father?  Both EJ and Stefano are, IMO, still evil — no matter how it came about, lol!!

    scientific big finding comes along. Just look at Einsteins non-disclosure of "his" E=MC2 theory. I think one can overcome both ones genetics and environmental "heritage". I am not just speaking of a t.v. character who can be rewritten once a week. Millions of real people who have three strikes against them because of environment or genetics do grow up to be fine, upstanding, kind, and proud individuals.  My "bio-parents", for example, were horrors in the truest worst sense of the word and should have never been allowed or able to procreate, let alone "raise" children. I have aspired to be completely opposite of them and their memory.

     

    When I see these criminal thug gang-bangers say – ‘Oh, I grew up in the hood, that is the way it is so I have to belong in a gang to get by…’.  Or someone who is in the generational welfare cesspool without trying to get out by pulling themselves up by their own bootstraps and wishes to continue being on the dole, a living sponge on the rest of us, then I have to laugh and say "well, isn’t that just living the easy life." The same for the Hollyweirders that have mega-money and privilege that does not buy them happiness and only serves to make them lower on the evolutionary scale – I don’t think any intelligent, sane, reasonable person really wants to "hang" out with the aforementioned. That is why it is fun to watch the characters in the soaps – too far from reality, but close enough for we viewers to recognize we do not to want to get burned by by their "life" styles.
