I buy it. Great Lumi scenes today.

The script was great for what it was, but its happening way too quick and some things Lucas said just werent true or believable to me. But thats just my opinion.

I buy it.

Me too, Toups.

Hogan *so* gets Lumi. At the risk of sounding presumptuous, they are going to be phenomenal under his writing.

I actually enjoyed EJ, today. It was nice to see a sense of humour from him as opposed to the usual deadpan demeanour. Great banter with Kate.

I agree on the Lumi scenes, they were GREAT and I do not think Lucas is moving to fast because we all know he never truly stopped loving Sami. I mean HOW many "almost" moments occurred between Lucas & Sami the last year while he was with Carrie. Their scenes just oozed sexual tension and you could tell BOTH deep down were NOT over each other.

Lucas now admitting that he is in love with her is just the truth IMO. I do like that Sami is holding Lucas to his actions with Carrie however...I do not want Lumi together yet, I want them to slowly rebuild their relationshoip and I want lots of tension, fights, almost moments and TONS of emotional angst before they reunite.

EJ's been working for Kate the entire time!? I didn't pick up on that?

I thought this was just the deal they made at DUNE or where ever they were the other day?

Yes, EJ and Kate have been working together from the very beginning.

From today's script:

Kate: E.J., We had a deal. Yore supposed to --

E.J sd educe the little tramp away from your son. Yes, I do remember. And I wasn't doing that badly, thank you. I had a good hand in keeping her away from austin. Although, in retrospect, he seemed quite keen to get shot of her. Lucas, on the other hand, is going to be a little bit more of a problem.

If you think about it, remember the scenes with Kate and EJ at Sami/Austin's wedding? Remember how Kate kept urging EJ to do something to stop the wedding? Actually, EJ purposely made sure Sami was late to church. When EJ brought the tv crew to Sami's apt and Lucas informed Kate that Austin and Carrie were together, remember Kate asked EJ why he didn't tell her about this and EJ replied that he thought it would be more fun for her to find out this way. Then, when Will arrived from his runaway adventure, Kate and EJ hung back and were talking about how the ratings would increase with Will's return.

I've been waiting for a scene like this to make it clear to the audience that EJ was working for Kate. Think Franco II!!

I've only watched the Lumi/EJ-Hooker scenes so far but those scenes were amazing. I'm glad that Albert Alar directed and Meg Kelly wrote today's episode. The body language, facial expressions from both Bryan and Scott were awesome. I liked Lucas' reaction to Sami coming up with a cover story for Will and how he winked to Will when Sami was struggling!! Too cute!! I also loved EJ's laugh, when Kate found out that Lucas was living with Sami. Then his look when Kate sounded jealous that Sami was getting all the attention. I LOVE seeing the evil side of EJ. The Kate-EJ dialogue was fun!! What a great show--at least the part that I watched.....

There's something about her that makes me like her. I think it's the way the talks. I don't know how to describe it though. LOL

I know exactly what you mean Toups, I like her but I'm not sure why

Posters on another board seem to think she has those invisible braces on her teeth and that's why she talks like she does.

Put me on the Shawn/Willow...I mean Shallow bandwagon . I love those scenes and totally like the actress. Beemer played it well and I totally buy their relationship because Shawn is irrational right now. Loving seeing so much Maggie.

The Belle/Shawn scenes were very good, especially when she got mad and threw that object at him (whatever it was). I loved Bradnt today and I am really going to miss him. He truly saved the best for last and he was excellent these past few months. FF sucked but the Mimi/Philip scenes were good and I loved how she went and got Belle to try to stop him. Belle stopping herself and saying those words at the end about Philip putting everyone else first and now it was time for her to put him first was great. A heartbreaking ending. Philip got screwed over by Chloe and now Belle and both times he left. I am sure Days will get a great recast though and Philip will come back Kiriakis-like.

Kate/EJ working together against Lumi makes so much sense. They had scenes in June and then at Carrie/Lucas's wedding that just screamed he was in on something with her. Plus, all those little instances before Sami's wedding made me think maybe EJ contributed to that. I do think EJ is playing both Sami and Kate. Either that or he has come to genuinely like Sami. Whatever the case. Ej/Kate were HOT and I am happy she finally got herself a younger, hotter man. Big upgrade over Roman . The Sami/Kate scene was funny too.

Lumi was brilliant. Hogan really does get them and Lucas has always wanted Sami deep down and I thought Meg Kelly did a good job reminding us of that in the script. I just loved their scenes with Will. Gerse is ok but I still think a recast would be better. Maybe if Gerse got a haircut things would be better too.

I had no problem with J&M. I took it as she has had so much bad happen to her and her family that she is afraid to stick around and wait for the other shoe to drop and she needs John for strength. I think in the coming weeks we will get scenes of her telling herself she can't rely on John or anyone else for strength and must face this on her own. I thought the scenes were nice and touching. The writing for John has been awesome lately as well.

Definitely a good show. Tomarrow looks good as well.

Yikes. I am so not feelin' the Willow/Willow portrayer love yet.

Willow seems vacant to me, she doesn't act with confidence.

I'm not a big Willow fan, i just want her to be a temporary character...but i'm enjoying her and shawn together now..

The Lumi scenes were pretty good, but I feel like what was said could've been said less explicitly, more between-the-lines, it felt like they were reading what people felt should occur on the message boards and scripted it. It was too literal, hopefully there'll be more subtext in the future. But they definitely got the concepts right. And can I just say I love Ali Sweeney?

Belle throwing the whatever-it-was at the door -- finally she shows a little spirit about something. I'm glad she's upset about Shawn not pursuing custody, they're maybe finally writing her like she knows what she wants, at least a little.

Kyle good today. It's too bad (for whatever reason) that it took so long to show, but he did better with his few lines of emotional stuff than even the psycho angry baby-stealing Phillip stuff (which I fully enjoyed).

Farah still sucks. Check.

Maggieeeeee! The "Did you come here to see Willow" line was so contrived, but still ... Maggieeeeee!

Effusive Marlena still does zilch for me.

Wasn't Plot Device -- I mean, Willow -- still working when she hopped out on her little date? Musta missed something.

Nice show.

Maggie, Maggie, Maggie!

And oh damn, I have not warmed back up to EJ at all, but oh damn, Scott and the Koz have it.

The Roberts family scene - if that's the comedy we get to see more of, I want some candy!

Meh to J/M.

And for emphasis - MAGGIE!

Was it just my imagination, or did Kate shove her computer monitor or laptop off her desk and onto the floor when she and E.J. were doing their thing? Yikes!

Chip

Yeah, the Marlena stuff was total crap. How embarrassing. Deidre Hall acts like a caricature.

That's why everyone yells at her when she makes even a tiny mistake.

This is B.S. She practically walked away scot-free when it was discovered that she cheated on John when she banged Roman and got knocked up by him. The argument that her loss of the baby and amnesia doesn't fly as retribution for that. Marlena almost never suffers the consequences of her mistakes.

I think I might like Willow and a Willow/Shawn pairing. What I will not like, however, is if they decide to go down the Belle-Golden Girl/Willow-Evil Hooker route. I hate the message behind the "hooker must be an evil person" idea. Yech.

Kate/EJ?? About damn time Kate's had some steam in her love life! I loved how EJ was looking at her so hungrily and the intensity when he threw her down on her desk.

I liked the John & Marlena scenes. It's about time we see some happiness from them.

I loved their stuff today..... I love their story.
