I think Ali did a great job too. I know a lot of people blame her for all this and think she’s crazy for pushing Rafe away, but when you’re in her position and truly believe things with EJ are better, it’s hard not to listen to what he’s saying and take some of that to heart. I mean, EJ is a manupulitive guy and everything he’s doing to her is well thought out and planned. She’s falling for everything he’s saying and doing, sadly. But I don’t blame her for falling for it. I think anyone in her situation, where she lost one little girl and now is faced with losing another within a year of each other, is going to be emotional and indecisive and grasping at any straws that she can. She’s hurt and mad and doesn’t know who to trust or what to believe. I think she’s doing a fantastic job of showing us that roller coaster. As for EJ, I keep waiting for something to trigger remorse in him. To see a glimmer of compassion and it’s not coming. I’ve always liked his character, because I felt beneath the Dimera blood, the revenge, and anger, there was something in him that wanted to be good. Wanted to be different than his father. I saw glimpses of that when he and Sami reconciled after the rape (please don’t start an arguement on whether it was or wasn’t), but now I think he is truly lost. So consumed with his bitterness that he’s unable to have any sympathy or forgiveness or concern for anyone but himself. I’m so sad he’s lost that part of him that I loved to see. Now all I see is falseness and ugliness. Any hope I had of seeing EJ and Sami end up together is gone. I want her with Rafe and I want EJ to crumble.
I could not agree more!! I blamed Hope for a lot of things and still do, but if he really cared about his daughter’s feelings, he wouldn’t push her to accept something or someone the way he is. It’s ridiculous! And, Carly is really pushing it with me. She’s gone for like two decades then comes back and inserts herself into everyone’s life again like she has the right to do that? Let alone push this "secret" on Bo and expect him to throw his life away to "protect her". I seriously want to slap her. And, while I’m at it, slap Bo too.
Ya know, I’ve always been a huge EJ fan. Love his bad guy side and really, ultimately, wanted to see him with Sami. But, honestly, my mind is quickly changing. I don’t see that good side struggle anymore. He used to fight his darker side and I liked that about him. Reminded me of Jack a bit. But, now, he’s just out to hurt anyone and everyone. I really don’t like that he and Sami are bonding anymore, because I know it’s all meant to hurt her. I want to see Sami with Rafe and see that relationship blossom. He’s always had her best interests at heart and I don’t know if anyone has ever been like that with her before. Can’t believe I’m saying this, but EJ has either got to find some of that compassion he used to have or I really don’t want to see him anymore. I hope Arianna uses her brain and starts questioning his wild, out-of-control behavior. Someone needs to make him wake-up and get over himself.
I FFed through all their scenes today. I was too disgusted to watch. I was totally on his side when he was angry and frustrated by Hope, but to go as far as to SLEEP WITH CARLY?!!! You lost any and all support. I was already growing upset with him over his constant need to help her and put her first before his daughter and Hope. But, this is so far over the line. Makes me sooooooo mad!!! I hope he feels like crap when he finds out that while he was getting it on with Carly, Hope was mourning the loss of her beloved uncle.
That’s what I was wondering while watching the show today. I thought he might be trying to get back WITH Sami, but after watching his reactions today I now think it’s to get back AT Sami. It’s keeping me guessing, I’ll say that!
I’m a HUGE EJ fan, just like you. But, I love his bad side more than his good. Granted, I wish there was more of a balance of good, like he had when he and Sami were married and he was trying to be a better person. But, EJ is a bad guy. He just has to have that side to him. It’s a huge part of who he is. And, I think he’d lose some of his appeal if he became all "good and wonderful" all of the sudden.
When you suggested that the other day, I thought "What a great twist!" and here is coming true! Knowing the things he’s done to win Sami in the past (marriage arranged by Stephano, faking paralysis, needing a green card), I’m not surprised that he’s once again done something to draw him and Sami closer. LOVE this twist!!!
I don’t get the connection between Phillip and Melanie either. It seems very forced to me, just like Lucas and Chloe were. I haven’t liked Phillip with anyone but Belle to be honest. And, there’s no one on the show currently that I could see him with. But, Mel? No. Doesn’t work.
I too am really looking forward to Maggie’s storyline. She’s going to do a phenominal job, I’m sure. Just the quiet moment at the end of the show was touching and she didn’t even have to say a word.
I’ve always loved Lucas. I was a HUGE Lumi person for years. But, became a EJami and Safe fan since then. But, the chemistry between Sami and Lucas remains and I really enjoyed their episodes as friends. They have a unique and special bond and I really wish they had found a way to build on that and create a brand new role for Lucas. He had a big fan base and such potential for a good storyline. I think he would be a valued player in the upcoming storyline for Maggie as well. So sad.
I don’t think Nicole is done with the show. Her character is too amazing to have off the screen for long. So, if she gets off with a light sentence and is released early, I won’t be upset about it. Yes, in real life, I wouldn’t want to see her and I am disgusted by a lot of her behavior, but she’s just too amazing an actress and too interesting and multi-dimensional of a character to let go. I’m hoping her time off screen is brief. She drives me crazy, but I enjoy watching her immensely!
My biggest issue with Nicole throughout this whole saga was her manipulation of Mia. We’re supposed to think Mia is 15-16 yr old girl who has been kicked out of her house, living on her own, with a boyfriend who is MIA. Gotta be a terribly scary thing for someone so young to go through. Enter Nicole – a 30-something yr old that is telling her all the right things so she can get what she wants, which is Mia’s baby. Then, she doesn’t even KEEP that baby, opting instead to take Sami’s baby just to stick it to her. Anytime I had sympathy for Nicole it was destroyed when I would see her lay into Mia and yell at her for even thinking of mentioning the fact that she had a baby. Wouldn’t let her hold Sydney for the longest time. Tried to make her leave town. Convinced her to tell everyone that she had sleep with a bunch of guys. I mean, all these really terrible things and this is just a kid! When it came to the treatment of Mia, any and all sympathy I had for her was gone. Brady, Sami, and EJ – though hurt by her – are adults and can handle that better than a scared kid, going through what she went through. JMHO
If EJ is behind this as a motive to get back together with Sami, that would be a fantastic twist! It would be so in character with some of the things he’s done in the past. The only problem I have with it, is he seems genuinely worried. And, he’s been pushing Sami a lot and that would kind of defeat his purpose. I honestly don’t know what he’s thinking or doing as of late. I’m having a hard time reading him.
As far as Anna is concerned, I see this as being a way to really stick it to the Dimeras. It’s weird and off-the-wall, but I guess it kind of makes sense. Not sure why she’s so mad at Sami. She knows Sami hates the Dimeras too. You’d think Anna would respect her for that, but who knows. There are a lot of things that happen on this soap that I can’t really make sense of and just have to go with it. So, that’s what I’m doing here.
