    I think you could be right, because Nicole obviously does still love E.J., and her fear has always been that E.J. would take the baby away from her and the child would be raised a DiMera.  When she learns the truth, that not only is E.J. NOT Stefano’s son, hence NOT a DiMera, this might be the only reason Nicole will take him back.  But remember her real reason for rejecting E.J. is, and probably always will be, Sami.  So, on the other hand, as long as E.J. doesn’t insert himself back into Sami’s love life and their connection stays only where their children’s lives are concerned, then perhaps Nicole would take him back, but so long as Nicole believes he cannot stay away from Sami, or that he keeps himself in Sami’s life by using their children as excuses to stay connected to Sami for his own purpose, then I hope Nicole can move on with her life and keep E.J. out of hers.  With Sara Brown (Madison James) being one of the first cuts to be leaving, maybe they will put her and Brady back together.  Or, she may still wind up with Rafe, since Carrie will also be getting the axe.

    to know where the safe house was, let alone enter it and fix sandwiches.  Ugh!  Then having to put up with the nonsensical "Rafe, don’t go" in one breath, followed by "Rafe, just leave me alone" in the next, with Ma and Pa Black condoning the bloody hot mess that is now Carrie REED, is more than I can take of this bullshit.  I hope Sami beats her bald-headed before she leaves, and that can be in a wooden box for all I care.

    into now ones practically hated by all.  Carrie and Rafe can both get written out now, that’s how much I despise both of them.  Nicole, I don’t even recognize her anymore.   Austin, who wouldn’t cheat on him?  He’s a stupid, gullible, turn the other cheek a$$hole, IMO; E.J. can’t tell his a$$ from his elbow where Stefano is concerned.  Stefano sets up the woman he has come to love and respect, then throws her out, bag and baggage, and is now turning his back on the one person who is most like him in the world.  Sami and Lucas/Rafe/E.J. quad… I mean how many men must have this woman at the same time.  Having to watch a boring storyline with all the Alamania nonsense, only to have John and Hope remain still married.  I mean it just goes on and on and on to the point where I just scratch my head, curse my tv screen and scream out loud, mostly at NBC if they are behind this, or Ken Corday and Greg Meng, if they are at fault, because they are destroying this show and the characters so once loved by all who have continued to watch this hot mess that just keeps getting worse instead of better.  The need for someone to put their foot down is at hand, and I don’t know if I can wait until August for the new writers’ work to be airing, simply because I don’t know if I can truly believe that it will be any better, and September 2013 is just around the corner.  DOOL will never get picked up if this character assassination is allowed to continue, but, maybe that was the plan to begin with.

    some are allowed in…..some are brought in blindfolded so they don’t know where it is….  Don’t know much more about it than that, but this may be where we lose the next set of cast cuts.  JMO!

    so I don’t feel sorry for her that she was fired.  Clay and Lisa, albeit in somewhat of a rude, crude and lascivious manner, were absolutely right in that Dyanna was completely out of her element.  Clay or Lisa should have been project manager, even though Clay was project manager of the prior task before this one.  Dyanna brings out the worst in everyone and anyone she tries to work with because her only talent is her face.  I don’t care how well she did on the one task she managed to win.  The girl may be beautiful, but she’s an airhead and cannot get her point across because she she’s do difficult to understand.  I’m glad she’s gone.  Now let’s see how Clay handles Lisa, although I do think that Clay can give as good as he gets.  I agree that Dyanna has no point to make; she just runs on and on and on, talking right through anyone else trying to make their point, and most of the time she’s wrong.  She had 2 professionals she tried to tell how to do their profession.  What she did at the end, walk out and look great, was all she was capable of doing.  Can anyone just hear her now trying to sing or trying to moderate?  I don’t!  She not only was not qualified for that task last night …. SHE PROVED IT!  Trump was right to fire her.

    I hope she’s on the "next-to-go" list of cuts.  Too bad, she’s a beautiful young woman, but there’s just no place for her in the young cast members except for an interloper role or a psycho teen-drama queen, and Lord knows we have enough of those.

    but I’ll give her kudos for taking it so well and still performing well on her exit song.  Boy, I thought Steven was going to kiss her.  It was obvious he really liked Elise.  To me the judges favorites are so obvious.  I will have to admit, I thought it would be Phillip in the bottom 3….not Skylar…..and I thought it would be Hollie going home.

    by threatening to turn over the proof that she planned to murder Chloe.  I remember the tears flowing down her face when they were being married and she was reciting her vows.  What she loves, though, is the name, the power, and most of all the money.  I think that’s Kate’s version of love.  She always knew Stefano could pull the rug out from under her, so to me most people who think she is "in love" with Stefano are mistaking love for fear.  She knew darn well that she had nothing to fear from anyone so long as she had Stefano’s respect for her as his wife.  She should have known better than to think she could get away with betraying Stefano DiMera.  To me Ian doesn’t even look like he has that kind of power.  We need to see more of his and Kate’s backstory, but then this is DOOL writers.  They haven’t developed his backstory yet.

    that’s for sure; but, I was pleasantly surprised at Skylar’s performance last night, in that I didn’t hate her.  LOL!  Who I am beginning to get bored with is Phillip.  He sounds like he’s singing the same song every week to me, in that everything he does sounds the same.  I still like Hollie, but I think tonight will be her night to go.  She has a terrific voice, but no personality to it, or to her on-stage presence.  She just doesn’t look like she should be up there with those left in the competition.  There’s nothing "unique" about her.  On the other hand, Elise is just the opposite for me.  She trying way too hard to be the next Janis Joplin, and Steven’s not helping dissuade her either.  Jessica and Joshua are so good but Jessica is just too bashful to be bold enough to combine her voice with her stage presence.  Remember Pia Toscano — she had the same problem.  Joshua "gospel" sings for me a little too much at times, and, when he does, he goes into "scream" mode and that I do NOT like.  It’s just hard for me to cheer for any of them now that Colton is gone.  Still think that young man made his presence known and that he did enough to wind up with a recording contract at some point.

    Stefano would be the perfect victim.  There are so, so many who are ready to kill him right now that it would be impossible to guess "whodoneit."  I think Joe M. is a wonderful actor, but I also can’t help believe that if it was Stefano, that it would be solely Joe M.’s idea to retire, so it wouldn’t surprise me if Stefano DiMera gets killed off, either in May sweeps or by the end of the summer.  I would miss Joe, but I certainly wouldn’t say that about Stefano.  LOL.  I guess Kate will put in for a transfer where money and power is concerned, and Ian will become the new villain.  There’s a lot about him we don’t know, yet, so I’m thinking along those lines, since Stefano seems to be losing everything, and how long will it be before his enemies finally do catch up to him?  I would certainly be interested in watching that story line; but, sorry, I just think Joe might be tired of doing this.

    but I don’t think John was in love with her.  They may have shared a kiss or two, but they were mostly friends.  I wonder if she’s the one.  She was more involved with Victor and Roman (but is this when Roman was John or vice versa) where her love life was concerned.  She eventually developed feelings for Victor, but she was in love with Roman (or was it John — it’s too confusing to remember).  Justin brought her to town for some kind of revenge plot on Victor, pretended she was some very rich french contessa or baronness or something along those lines.  She eventually developed feelings for Victor, but she was really in love with Roman.  When Victor threatened to expose her as a spy, Roman got her out of Salem.  I don’t remember her whole story line now, but could she have had a connection to Orifice in some way, since she was working at one point with John (or was it Roman) and the ISA?  Maybe that’s her connection to Stefano if she is, in fact, the Yvette we’re thinking of?  I don’t see any other reason for Stefano’s connection to Yvette.  Or am I really confused and this was when Roman was John, or John was Roman?????  Well, if this is that Yvette, somebody really dug deep into history, so they better get it right or the fans will not only have the writers for lunch, they will chew them up and spit them out!

    I almost felt sorry for E.J. because I believe that he really does love Lexi.  All of the actors in this story line are doing a great job, IMO.  James Reynolds and Renee Jones are going to be hard to beat, but James Scott was believable today.  Loved the effect of the one tear falling from his eye.  I’ve never had that happen, by the way, but it looked heart-wrenching anyway.  I was also glad to hear the doctor put Stefano in his place somewhat by telling him straight that she knows who he is, but all his connections, money or power (or words to that effect) were not going to cure Lexi.  I always hated that about the DiMeras, all of them, in that when someone is in very dangerous health and possibly dying, they think they can "buy" their life through their connections.  No, no, Nonno, you may be able to "take" a life, but you cannot buy one.  Oh, wait, maybe you can (Rafe-2).

    and how toxic the gas was.  You have to be exposed to a cancer causing agent like asbestos for a very long time to develop a terminal illness from it …. like nicotine relates to lung cancer.  I know some people develop lung cancer and never smoked a day in their life, but in most instances one would have to either be a long time smoker or exposed to second-hand smoke for a very long period of time before cancer develops from it.  I can’t remember how long Lexi was in those tunnels, though.

    in that I think E.J. cares for Nicole a great deal more than he even realized himself.  However, I don’t think he will leave Salem for her, simply because, in his own words, losing Nicole was like losing the air he breathes, but losing Stefano would be like losing the ground from under him.  E.J. loves Nicole as much as E.J. knows how to love, but when did he realize that Nicole was important enough to make him see the many, many errors of his ways?  Was it when he threw her any Sydney out into the cold night when he thought Sydney was not his child?  Was it when he cheated on Nicole with Taylor?  Was it when he realized that faux Rafe, his and Stefano’s own creation, was responsible for the death of her mother?  I will always question how can she mean that much to him now, even though he may or may not believe that she is carrying his child?  He has to believe, even though we know better, that there’s always the slight chance that the baby is Rafe’s.  For now all he has is Nicole’s and Rafe’s insistence that the baby is Rafe’s, not E.J.’s.  So, why would he just pick up and leave Salem to be with Nicole now, especially since she is insisting that he must "raise" Rafe’s baby?  Sorry, I can’t see it.  E. J. is too glorified just to be a DiMera.  Ever since he was first summoned to Salem by Stefano to impregnate a Brady, he has tried to do exactly as Stefano wanted for fear of falling from his fatha’s graces.  His greed for not only equality with Stefano, but Stefano’s approval of him, along with the power, the wealth, the absolute fear their name alone instills in others, has always been THE MOST important thing in the world to E.J., IMO.   I don’t see him changing now unless something so huge, so dark and drastically demeaning for E.J. causes him to be rejected by Stefano, defeating E.J.’s desire to be exactly like him.  Until any woman can mean more to him than Stefano, no woman, including Nicole, will ever be able to claim his love.  The only reason I think he is so compatible with Nicole is because, bottom line, she’s E.J. IN A SKIRT!  That is the only way I see them together and that’s what I don’t want to see right now.  Maybe they should try Nicole with Rafe.  At least he’s willing to put her first, which is all she seems to want from E.J.  Then they can reunite Sami and Lucas and I can sit back with a big smile on my face watching the two of them go head to head with Kate.  I think AZ can make a relationship work with practically anyone they put her with, but putting her back with E.J. now, before he is exorcised of his demons, won’t change him.  His motto should be "That which cannot kill me only makes me stronger."  E.J. DiMera will never be redeemable for me.

    Sorry, but you know me when I get on an E.J. roll!!!

    he’s TOO opinionated and Clay has that pegged about him.  He is persistent as well as insistent where his ideas are concerned.  He didn’t want the project manager’s job because this task wasn’t right for him, but it didn’t stop him from taking over, and when Penn goes on a roll, no one can get a word in edgewise.  Clay tried to get some other ideas, but Penn once again decided Penn knows best.  Well, this time Penn paid for it.
