Please, side-stepping the debate of if it was or wasn't rape, Sami ALREADY shot herself in the foot. She told EJ not to reveal a word about their sex session to Lucas, which means that she, essentially, WILL commit a lie of omission to Lucas, he'll somehow find out about the EJami sex session and he'll still yell and scream at her. Rinse and repeat. Sami, you NEVER learn, do you?!

In that same line, Sami first called it "blackmail." If I were a betting man, I would lay odds that the NBC recap says "sex" when it gets published, just like all of the spoilers debated the act building the tension until Friday's eppy.

That said, that was one of the best soap eppies I have ever seen. James and Alison will both brilliant.

LoL! Just read this over at SoapCity:

"I Have Been Out Of Town For The Holidays, And Would You Believe Haven't Seen An Episode Since Dec. 21.

Now I Get Back And Hope Has Had Her Baby, John Has Been Shot, Is Sami Raped By E.j... Why Is It That When You Are Watching It Daily, Things Don't Seem To Move Much. Then A Week Goes By And All Hell Breaks Loose."

So true.

I sure hope Benjy isn't mixed up with Stefano, because that would be a heavy rewrite of history. Benjy was never evil. In fact, he pointed at Stefano and said something along the lines of "you're the bad one" when he was younger. Stefano was so shocked he gave up on torturing Roman and Diana right then and there.

But it is nice to have him back on the canvas. I'm sure there's more to this. He could be fearing for his life, for all we know.

All in all, a great episode and what a solid way to wrap up 2006. Hogie, you didn't disappoint me. :)

It wouldn't be a rewrite at all. Benjy was a child when that happened nearly 20 years ago. He's been off-screen ever since. We don't know what happened while Benjy was away from Salem. He could've came into contact with Stefano after Orion, his grandfather, died. Orion was the one that protected him from Stefano. Orion whisked Benjy away so Stefano couldn't influence the child. With Orion dead, Stefano could have came into contact with Benjy, turned the entire story upside down to make it look like Stefano was the concerned father and it was Orion and the Bradys that kept Benjy away. Stefano is pretty convincing and could definitely brainwash Benjy into thinking whatever he wanted. Is it a rewrite in history? No. It's giving Benjy a backstory.

Ekkk....when EJ was touching Sami's face, and had his fingers on her lips/mouth....that was just distrubing and chilling...ick.

Ali and James did great good with the rape scene.

The Benji stuff was very intriguing. I hope the character stays around. It is such a shame that Lexie is leaving, since both of her brothers are now in town.

    • I think they’re desperately trying to cover his awful tattoos. But anyway them being unable to style short kings properly has been a major pet peeve of mine for a while now.  I honestly don’t understand what some people expect from actors to even begin considering them for recognition. Let’s be real—awards mostly mean that an actor is respected by their peers and has some level of cultural relevance. Actual judgment on the acting itself? That’s often secondary—highly subjective and shaped by the times. I completely agree on both points. If you’re an actor or a dancer you shouldn’t get any tattoos (sorry not sorry). Tomas’ tattoos are ugly too. And regarding the couples- you’re completely right. These writers are unable to write romance.   Further comments: - Kat cannot be this dumb to keep tampering with evidence over and over again. And I’m officially not a fan of the actress—every time she’s in a scene with Leslie, she doesn’t seem intimidated at all. She plays it like comic relief, which is just too much, especially when paired with Leslie’s histrionics and over-the-top antics. Leslie is older, dangerous, and has literally been portrayed as homicidal—Kat should be at least a little scared. • I also didn’t like Kat playing damsel in distress with the hotel manager. It gave off the same weird energy as Dani with the cop. I would’ve much preferred the version Paul Raven suggested, with her sneaking in through housekeeping. • And yes, Dani again accused Hayley of faking the pregnancy—this time even specifying she might be using a pillow under her shirt. (No fake miscarriage being mentioned) I stand by my take: this is ridiculous writing. No one in the real world—except us, the chronically online soap watchers—would even think of such a conspiracy theory. Haley is no Beyoncé. • What in the world was Chelsea wearing in her hair the other day? And this whole thing with Madison is beyond cringe. Chelsea’s coming off as needy and toxic—basically like every other Dupree. • I’m glad the casino storyline is moving forward, but it’s still boring as hell. Honestly, I’d be so here for a plot twist where Vanessa and Doug take Joey out. • The direction and editing lately have been rough. Abrupt cuts, weird pacing… something just feels off overall. There’s a strange uneasiness to how it’s all coming together. • And finally: Tomas is too much of a saint. Where are the messy sluts when you need them? (Vanessa doesn’t count.)
    • I was watching some August 1987 episodes and they brought back so many memories. I had some thoughts: Lisa and Jamie were so dull. Lisa was such a nothing character. It boggles my mind that so much story was centered around her in such a short amount of time. Joanna Going is a talented actress, but the material was just not there.  It was so good to see Wallingford and Mitch again. I know there was talk about Felicia a while back, but these episodes reminded me how integral Felicia was for the show.  Sally Spencer was done so dirty. She is turning in superb performances in an icky storyline. I wish she had stuck around longer. She has chemistry with everyone. The McKinnons should have lasted longer. Spencer had some strong stuff with Stephen Schnetzer and Mary Alexander. AW waster such a talented actress by getting rid of her. Justice for Cheryl too. I also missed Ed Fry when he left. Sandra Ferguson was a star from the moment she came on. She was charismatic and just popped. She had immediate chemistry with RKK and blended in well with Wyndham and Watson. I'd forgotten about the teenage Matthew.  I have no memory of Peggy Lazarus. She must not have lasted long. Was the original plan for John that he was going to turn out to be the twins' real father?      
    • If the new and improved copies that @rsclassicfanforever has uploaded can be manually moved into the "by month, by year" folders, that would be awesome. I personally don't think it's necessary to keep the older versions (which either have Dutch subtitles hard coded on them, or are lesser in picture quality). That's a lot of valuable drive space that could be cleared. Just my view but can appreciate others may feel differently. The structure had been by month by year previously, so I think it would be easier to conform to that, where so much prior work to get it to that format has already been done. Hopefully you can "drag and drop" so the new copies are in the right month/year? Re Clips, I never look at them now we pretty much have the episodes in full. Appreciate others may use, however. Thanks for all your hard work here @BoldRestless!
    • Oh yes defintely, Josh Griffith repeats and repeats the same storylines.
    • Isnt’t this storyline similar to the Cameron Kirsten situation though? Sharon thought she killed him. He ended up being alive and Sharon was being tormented with thinking she was seeing his face everywhere and that’s how we got that iconic scene with her and Nikki in the sewers.   I understand in Mariah’s case this is different circumstances but it does seem like a play on that whole thing. Maybe I’m wrong. I just wish if they were going to make any character follow in Sharon’s foot steps it would be Faith. Mariah wasn’t even raised by her, and her personality is different. I would expect her to take a different path. I understand I could be completely jumping ahead because the storyline hasn’t even played out yet but we’ll see. 
    • Thanks again @Paul Raven Monica was completely without redeeming qualities at this point. I always found the whole Monica = Carly narrative regressive, as I don't think shows comparing characters so heavily is ever a great idea, but she's actually worse than Carly was. Was it the Pollocks who had Leslie have a miscarriage?  Giving her a child, especially by rape, was not a good idea, but a part of me wishes they'd committed to it just to see what story it might have had in later years.
    • @janea4old Your detailed explanation and delving into the psychology and motivations is no doubt the opposite of what we will see onscreeen. As @ranger1rg stated we will get a few scenes and some sketchy explanations. Like the adoption of Aria, most of it will take place off screen.
    • I'm suddenly fearful that DAYS is going to pull a Flowers-for-Algernon stunt and Bo's progress will be reversed.  While @te. is stuck on Abe's tiny bedroom, I can't stop thinking of the size of Bo's huge hospital room.
    • Okay, why are Paulina and Abe sleeping like that?!  I'd take a screen grab if I wasn't lazy, but come on.
