OMG!

I am LOVING the whole EJ investigation! I LOVE how Bo got Sami involved and how later he told her he was proud of her! Then in the end, Roman told Sami he was also proud of her and she started crying! Loved those scenes! Wonderful!

I am starting to get a bit bored with Kayla dying.. simply because we know she's not dying... so please, hurry it up and move this story! Thanks!

We saw Benjy!!! And Steve saw him too and it looked like he knew him for a moment! Great little scene!

Dedire Hall is looking great for her age! I keep noticing that every time she is on!

I am also loving Kate now! And that hasn't happened since... well, I don't remember since when! Lauren is also wonderful!

Deidre looks phenomenal right now, and hey - the curves are back! Love the hair, softer/less make up.

I loved the fact that Marlena, Bo and Caroline all saw Sami's sincere attempt to redeem herself. She's not there, and it'll take a lot to get there, but she's trying. Marlena instantly hugging her, and Caroline right after the mom/daughter hug, along with that nice little Bo/Sami scene... good stuff IMO.

Loved J&M together. I love that she's not just letting him do whatever, and she's not putting that gut feeling away as something crazy because of the situation. She's feisty, and standing up to him, which I love. That's how their relationship started. He was kind of a butthead at times, Marlena stood up to him and took charge. And Marlena being the one to take charge about Kayla's cure - awesome.

James Scott just gets hotter with every episode. Damn, I want to duplicate him and get myself one. Total eye candy!

The Bo & Sami scenes were the highlight for me. I don't think we saw scenes like that ever. It was nice seeing an uncle and neice bond. The look on Sami's face when Bo said he was so proud was nice.

I'm just loving John & Marlena lately. Hogan really knows how to write for them.

The EJ stuff is very interesting. It's a very good mystery.

Kayla/Steve stuff is getting boring. Stephen Nichols is the only interesting thing.

I hope we see more Sami and Bo scenes. They are adorable.

Roman is a jerk. Sami had every right to be at the hospital to support Kayla.

I haven't watched this episode yet, but I was wondering how old Benji looked. I know when people saw his pictures, they thought the actor looked too old to play the part.

After seeing him, however only briefly, does he look like the right age?

TIA

This whole EJ investigation is very interesting. I'm loving it! All actors involved are rocking. I love Lauren Koslow!

Even Patrick is interesting me, and the scenes with Bonnie/Mimi. I love Judi Evans!

Steve/Kayla stuff needs to move along though. It's not bad, it's just slow going.

Kayla/Steve stuff is getting boring. Stephen Nichols is the only interesting thing.

LOL, of course he is. Kayla's been a moaning lump for the last two weeks! It's time to get her out of bed and get this story moving!

I think it really starts to take off tomorrow, from what Prevuze shows.

After seeing [benji], however only briefly, does he look like the right age?

To me he does. Plus, he's kind of hot!

Editing to add... someone at patchandkayla.com put up a screencap of Benji from tomorrow's U.S. episode. I think they did an awesome job with casting!

I'll leave it as clickable link so as not to bother the unspoiled:

I agree...I really liked that cast.

This was ANOTHER great show. I just don't get how people can be complaining about anything right now. I mean ok sure, things are a LITTLE slow, but still the show is MILES better than it has been in YEARS!!

Great episode.

Quick glimpse of Benjy and he sure looks perfect for the part, and that image GBB posted solidified that. I can't wait to see how he acts. The recognition Steve ha dthere was great - and I saw with I hadn't read EE for tomorrw, but EEEEEEEEE! It's going to be great.

Loved the Sami redemption stuff today. Bo had to go into her corner before Roman - what a concept! I love how she inadvertently helped Kate, as well as the dialogue between the trio in the surveillance van about the irony of Sami helping out.

I'm liking Nick so far. First time seeing him today. He's a nice fit. But...what's with all th epeople who remember him? Hope, ok...but Caroline? TF?

Finding the ring, oh damn, it's on folks. It really upped the ante for everyone- but specifically John and Marlena. I can't wait for them to after that cure. So great.

I agree...I really liked that cast.

I agree Mitch. The Steve/Kayla thing is really the only thing moving slow but I think Days wanted to milk that for sweeps and to make up for lost time as they have not alot of screentime until now.

I will post more later but I just loved what I saw so far of today, which was bascially the ending . I am going to watch the first half right now before I have to go back to work .

I think today's episode was the best since Hogan came aboard. It was wonderful and all the cast members brought it all together so believable. What a great mix and the way they were all used had the perfect feel.

Sami and Bo are fantastic together. John and Marlena are my favorite couple now (I just wish he had kept his hands off her shoulders by her neck...irritates the heck out of me especially when he shakes her a little), Simply wonderful to see Bo and Hope being loving with each other. Does she look preggie? Did that dress look like a maternity dress LOL. Seeing Nick and Benjy in the same epi was cool. I'm really liking Kayla's doctor, too, he is very involved with his role. Poor Kayla. I ached seeing her moaning and gasping today. It was totally realistic for a dying woman and gruesome even to watch.

Hate the Lockharts, well Mimi maybe is save able but Bonnie and Patrick, let the bomb rumor be on them.

Haven't seen it yet but sounds like a really good episode. Work sure gets in the way.

Just watched the whole show and OMG this was the best all around show since Hogan started.

The cast was utilized beautifully with the family scenes and everything was well put together. The show had a more exciting feel to it too and the ante was definitely upped today with the discovery of the ring. This EJ story is just awesome. It is drawing so many characters in. I loved the music and reactions of when John showed Marlena the ring and when Bo and John first saw it. Sami's involvement was awesome and I loved the Bo, Kate, John conversation in the van. Bo being proud of Sami was wonderful. I just love these two in scenes together because we never used to get them but now it's becoming more regular. Marlena and Caroline hugging was nice but when Roman said he was proud of her and her face lit up I teared up. Same goes when Sami reacted to Bo saying that.

I am so glad the Hope/Steve friendship is a vital part of this and Kayla's breathing and just the way they are portraying her dying is heartbreaking. SN has been great. I also loved how Hope practically told Patrick to get lost and Bo telling him they were on to him was priceless.

I also loved seeing Marlena's closeness with the Brady's on display. The Benji glimpse was quick but his and Steve's face said it all in that sceme. Nick was great and Hope and Caroline remembering him and saying who he was was a nice touch. I loved Shawn Sr asking who he was .

I liked Mimi with Bonnie and Patrick today. Good scenes and the ending with Marlena and John was good. Not only is she doing this for Kayla but it keeps John away from the investigation she fears may put him in danger so it's totally logical. Good way to build up the action and suspense.

Just a flat out excellent show. Loved it.

Roman was a bastardo even more than usual today.

I loved today's episode.

The resurgence of family on Days is one the nicest apsects of Hogan Sheffer coming to Days as HW. Before, the characters would go for months never seeing other members of the same family. In all the best ways, soaps should mirrow real life...with some bonuses.

The EJ investigation is a hoot. EJ is steps ahead of the whole bunch. He is not fooled for a moment. It was especially evident when he entered the bar from the elevator to have drinks w/Kate. EJ is one wily villain.

Also loved, no make that LOVED the speech by EJ to Will. The kid was quite annoying and rude. While EJ tried to be polite and ignore Will's rudeness, when Will kept on and on, EJ let him have it. It was laughing out loud. Maybe Hogan could recast Will or send him off to school...please!

John and Marlena are the rock of Days to me. When they are on and in snych, I'm happy.
