to wake Sami up. Surly they (the writers) don’t intend to leave her this way forever. It’s so frustrating, I could just grab her by her shoulders and shake her until her common sense returns, if, in fact, it was ever there.
Patti, they’ve only done it for the last fifteen years. Why would they change Sami’s tune now that we are all bored to death of the way she acts so predictably in every situation? Why would the writers take a perfectly good character who has ties to most or all of the other characters on the show that could supply endless great story lines and have her do the same thing over and over again?
Thank goodness that Ali is so talented in the part she is able to carry it off every single show – but you’d think even she, as the apple of Corday’s eye would rebel and say S-T-O-P writing my character this way! Ali should have quite a bit of pull being "the star" of the show after all these years, especially since even we die-hard fans are very, very tired of this rinse and repeat. I loved Sami at one time but after all these years of the same-old-same-old…Nah, not so much anymore.
bad side of Sami. But my problem with her is she used to have a fun side too. Where oh where has that been? It’s hard to remember when she was happy with Rafe and the kids.
This one trick pony Sami has been a trial for this viewer.but if they do intend to keep her this way, they need to write a story around her to make it understandable. I think Rafe said it best on Friday to E.J. when he told him to just give Sami the reins and lead the way, and eventually she will self-destruct (or words to that effect). Great line of the day, I’d say.
at what they have done to this character. She was once loved by all, and now I can’t find a message board that doesn’t "HATE" the hell out of her. I wish by the time this story-line is over they give her a nervous breakdown or something that will seriously endanger her health that will bring about some sort of an epiphany for Sami; otherwise, they might as well just write her out, because the character has become too hated by too many, and I can’t even believe for a minute that Alison Sweeney likes that. I know she (the actress) is involved in many other ventures, but she was once very mindful of her fans. She’s used to tweet a lot about it — now not so much. Maybe she’s as tired of doing it as we are of watching it.
write Sami out, even without any change to her. I’ve always liked her character (liked, not loved), regardless of what she does/has done. My guess is they continue to writer her as she is because it makes for a more interesting character plus easier to write for. I have never cared that much for Hope, just for that reason…her character is blah…she’s not good, she’s not bad.
Although I DO like your idea of Sami having a breakdown. I think that would quite a reasonable event (especially the way things are now) and be a terrific storyline and Ali could pull it off well. They could revisit a lot of the things that led up to her "losing it" which would give newer fans a great background of Sami.
they should give her character a reboot; dig deep inside her and let her demons out so her behavior can be more understood or at least explained. I think that would be a great role for Ali, too!
characters in the show to balance all the other "crazies" in Salem. Can you imagine how we’d all feel if Mrs. "H" had a was different? She wouldn’t still be a hero on the show even after her passing all these years ago. And they did give Hope the alter-ego of Princess Gina story line.
So they could have Sami become "Stan" again (NOT!) or some other character again, just to keep her (and Ali), from the same constant scene of "I screw up-I cry-I say-I’ll change-but I don’t really change" if only just for one longgggggggggggggeggg SL. And yes, Sami did morph into Colleen as well. Now that was a very interesting SL (even with EJ). Ali is a great actress and the show should let her stretch her wings. I’m sure Ali would be up for it.
Look how there was not one dry eye in all of Salem t.v. land when we were watching her (Sami/Ali) with Grace’s passing. Brilliant. Ali could pull it off, we (the fans) would be happy, I think Ali would be happy if they’d give her some other kind of role for awhile – (if they won’t change her permanently). I would rather have her get off into a story line for a while where she is someone else than keep-on-keeping-on being the same old screw up re-hash that she’s become.
And the writers (I’m not going to put the adjective I’m thinking in front of the word "writers"), did a fairly good kidnapping plot with Sydney and Sami’s reaction, but then they went not barely a year later to Johnny – (even though he wasn’t really kidnapped), just to draw the same reaction from Sami – that was "eye rolling" not at Sami but the reason for the SL.
Did I miss something last spring between the two of them (innocent or not) because I was watching right up until he left this past winter…I know my memory is baddddddddd but for the life of me, I cannot figure out why Daniel and Nicole would be even having a conversation. Yes, Nicole and Chloe were "friends" but not much going on or interaction with Daniel. Do they need to pair up as well? Does Nicole Walker Layton Roberts Kiriakis DiMera really need another last name. I’m thinking it will be Lucas.
Thank you for the welcome. I hope that Sami will decide to grow up. I can see some interesting stories coming out of that. Assuming they write it to take a normal adjustment time.
lived with Dan and Chloe for a little bit. He was pretty protective of Nicole at times even though he acted like he didn’t like her. But I think Dr. Dan said, it was the company she was with (EJ) and not her. Which is about how I remember the scenes being acted before.
for me has been the acting. Even though I am not a Nicole fan, AZ has hit nothing but home runs for me. I actually felt Nicole’s pain, and that is nothing more than a tribute to Ari for her splendid talent. Even Rafe and Carrie were tolerable in their scenes, and Will and Marlena —- nothing but amazing comes to mind. Loved the way Sonny was there for Will and gave him the best advice he needs now, which is to first admit to himself that he is gay, and the rest will come more easily for him. Even E.J., dog that I find him to be, was very convincing in today’s show, and poor Abe today stole my heart. I feel so bad for him. He truly is a good man. I hope they find a way to knock E.J. off his crooked pedestal, but I have my doubts …. besides, E.J. is finally getting what he deserves, to a small degree at least. Nice to see Kayla today, but she is being wasted in this silly role. Daniel and Jennifer were not all that interesting to me today, because I think Jen needs a rude awakening. She’s played both Daniel and Jack long enough. I’m really looking forward to each day now, and, as Martha Stewart would say, "THAT’S A GOOD THING."
I’d forgotten that Daniel and Nicole had ever really had any scenes together. He also gave her the news that she miscarried last time, didn’t he? Or was it the news that she was pregnant and her early prenatal care?
