when it came to stalking E.J., so let’s share the blame here! She could have just as easily stopped it in its tracks the first time, but instead she chose to make the first move on him and actually started undressing him first; she stopped him from leaving afterward, even though he did try (who’s going to walk away after that fine young offer of tail); she followed him to the club’s shower, partially undressed, and walked in on him; who’s idea was that one? She followed him to the office, lied to the secretary to get herself in, and propositioned him again, this time actually offering to be his mistress while concealing their affair from Sami, and tried go get him to have sex with her, where he had to embarrass her to get her away from him; and the prize winning one regarding fault is split right down the middle when they attempted to go at it again in the hospital supply closet, when proper ‘Miss Perfect’ Abbey committed what I would call emotional rape, because she actually said to E.J., “you know what you have to do to shut me up.” And it would have happened again, but they were interrupted. So tell me again how Abigail is so not, at least half of, the aggressor here!!! Actually, the one I need here to stop pacifying Abigail and trying to convince her that she is not to blame for any of their affair is E.J.

meant the person who it is filed AGAINST must leave the premises, or cannot be within 50′ of the person(s) who filed it or their property. Weird, just weird how the restraining order was even issued in the first place, since Sami had no real legal “physical” issue with E.J. to even call for him to be restrained, other than he cheated on her and, last I recall, you can’t get a restraining order for that. You can leave, or you can ask the other person to leave, but you cannot legally put them out unless they are causing you or others living with you (children) PHYSICAL harm. Why are we even discussing this, anyway? We all know DOOL has its own library of legal issues, rules and regulations. LOL! I’m just over it!

Ben is supposed to be Clyde’s biological child with Jordan’s mother, who died. Jordan was very young (probably a teen) when Ben was born. After their mother died, Jordan stole money from Clyde, took Ben and ran away with him (I think Ben was about 5). Appears she raised Ben until he was old enough to fend for himself, then left him on his own, changed her identity (the licenses) and has been on the run until Ben found her in Salem. That’s all we know of their back-story so far. I’m also wondering if Clyde killed Jordan’s mother because she caught him sexually abusing Jordan. I think Clyde’s a big-time meth-dealer and that’s why they revealed the part where he gave Jeremiah a wad of cash to take to the person back in Poplar Bluff who was severely burned. I think this is why he keeps referring to both Ben and Jordan as “his kids.” Guess we’ll just have to wait and see how the rest of their back-story fills us in.

don’t you know that when she ventures outside the box she stands on, she’s surely protected by magic, rainbows, and unicorns??? LMAO!!!

which is why pledges, donations and fundraisers are necessary. Look what our pledges and donations have done for Muscular Distrophy. The Jerry Lewis MD telethon raised millions each an every year, and although a permanent cure has not been found, the progression of the disease has slowed allowing people who have MD to live much longer and much more productive lives than ever before. So, yes, I agree that the ALS Icebucket Challenge has been a wonderful way to help with the search for a cure for ALS. The question, as always, is whether or not the money pledged is actually given, or is it just turning into a fanatical show stopper for people who want to do it for the wrong reasons? I would hate to think of that happening with any attempt to raise funds for researching any incurable disease.

about him being some dumb back-woods hick; I’m thinking Clyde is a very bad, very dangerous man who had control of a very dangerous business back in Poplar Bluff, and he’s now decided to bring that business to Salem, and that would be the drug business. We have already had an inkling of E.J. taking over that business once again from Victor, and I’m suspecting a big storyline to open soon in that regard. As for Jordan, my belief is that he did a hell of a lot more to her than what we’ve been led to believe. The young woman is petrified of even being on the same planet with this man. I think Clyde sexually abused this girl (this is my opinion, not a spoiler). Also, as far as Kate, it’s about time she got knocked off her pedestal a bit, don’t you think? I do!! I love the way Clyde stopped her in her tracks when he suggested going to Rafe and letting him know just exactly who came where seeking whom, all which ended in bringing Caleb to Salem. We’ll see, but I think as creepy as this guy is, he is going to wind up being a very successful villain on DOOL.
