Hi everyone Happy New Year! I hope you all had a wonderful holiday. I did... but more on that later.

This morning I was surfing the net, seeing the response from the fans in regards to Sami's new storyline. I guess when you're in the middle of it, it's hard to see it obejctively, but I must admit to being shocked by some of the posts I read on the subject of Rape. I hadn't realized how clever Hogan had been at developing a story that has so many different points of view... that people can all watch the same scene and interpret it in different ways.

What motivated me to post - on Sami's behalf - were the people who think Sami's 'gone back to her old ways' by lying about EJ's inovlvement in rescuing Lucas, and the rape. Most people seem to think she should tell. Am I the only one who heard James Scott (plays EJ) skillfully deliever the line in an incredibly menacing tone "If you tell the cops you saw me, you will wish you were dead. If I get arrested, I will tell them that you helped me escape, and we've been sleeping together for months. And when Lucas comes to hear that you and I have known each other..." while pointing a gun?

That seems pretty cut and dry to me. From Sami's perspective, she doesn't have the option of telling the truth - She wanted to tell Roman and couldn't because of EJ's threats.

This storyline has really been such a challenge to play. I love how difficult it is to play scenes where Sami has to pretend everything is okay, and then find moments for the audience to see her inner demons. I hope you all are enjoying Days as much as I am right now!

I love the debate, and I can't wait to hear what you all think!

xoxo
