A couple things about this episode intrigued me. One, when the guy came to EJ with Stefano's medical update, they mentioned stem cells. Kind of random, makes me wonder...could this be incorporated into an upcoming storyline? I believe this involves the cord blood from a newborn, and there are two pregnancies on the show right now. And second, when Sami was in the church praying she referred to herself as "letting" EJ have sex with her. No mention of rape. I'm wondering if they are going to try to put a different spin on that story now.

I liked this episode because I felt it was building to something. I'm hopeful we're going to be getting some major story movement.

Yeah, I don't think EJ has any interest in raising Sami's baby (or Willow's for that matter). He needs something from a newborn to aid in Stefano's recovery.

She's called it rape several times in the last few weeks and when Ali was discussing this week's material in the SOD, she talked about the "rape" affecting Sami's mental state. I think that line was just to emphasise the (unfounded) guilt that Sami is experiencing. It's pretty normal for rape victims to feel that way.

My question still is, Why Sami? He could've had a bun in someone's oven without all the drama, and it would've given him what he wanted a whole lot sooner. He came to Salem in ... what, last June? The baby could be near birth right now. Why Sami?

Interestinging find, Days4Life! I'm hoping that both Sami and Willow carry to term and their babies are fine, but EJ could have his own plan. I want to think that EJ really does want the very first DiMera/Brady baby, but a part of me also wonders if EJ had this planned from the start. He needed a baby to save Stefano. My only problem with that theory is why did it have to be a Brady baby? The fact that Stefano wanted EJ to have a Brady's baby, makes it seem like the DiMeras have all intent on raising this child and sticking it to the Bradys.

Because EJ and Sami are the new Stefano and Marlena. Sami is EJ's obsession, the same way Marlena was Stefano's. Plus, EJ did the one thing Stefano was never able to accomplish with Marlena.

I believe Hogan (?) mentioned that we would finally get to the bottom of the Dimera's grudge against the Bradys. I hope this is true because I'm dying to know!

My guess is that there is some distant family tie and and that EJ specifically needs a Dimera/Brady child. There are only a handful of Brady women of child bearing age, Carrie (who can not have children), Chelsea (perhaps EJ considered her too young), Sami and Stephanie. Perhaps Stephanie lacked the proper genetic markers required to make her a suitable match.

Maybe he needs the child for a medical purposes or maybe the child is the key to something else.

Yeah, I guess it does. EJ probably thought Sami would be easier to manipulate than she was. Sami wasn't budging back then. She was after Austin, no matter how many times EJ tried to convince her it would never happen.

Chelsea and Nick were amazing!!

During the episode, I was thinking the same thing regarding Stefano. He needs something for his recovery, and that's what EJ is going to use his child for. Although, if this theory is true... why was EJ determined to make it a Brady baby, then?

I don't think EJ wanting a baby has anything to do with Stem Cell research which doesn NOT have to be from a baby. I think it has to do with the war he is finishing which was mentioned in today's show. From that I decided that Shawn Sr. did in fact give Stefano's wife a baby and now EJ is repaying the offense. Further, it excites me that that baby was John and he is actually Shawn Sr.'s son. I am not excited at all about Sami perhaps having a DiMera baby though, but it could be appropriately retaliation or revenge.

    • Now this strikes me as funny. I have it up on my acct. The thing is I only have S2. Didn't want either 1 or 3.  Perhaps I should just list all of these that I have up.  Parodies: Dirty Sexy Money, Filthy Rich Incomplete: The Monroes, All That Glitters, Falcon Crest (have all just not all up), Once & Again S2 only Complete: Models Inc, Pasadena, Pacific Palisades, Paper Dolls, Flamingo Road  
    • This is wonderful! Thank you for posting this! I loved the first two seasons and never got to see the final season when they cancelled the DVD release. I've been hoping this popped up on streaming but no luck. Happy I'll finally get to see how it ended!

    • In case it is of interest to anyone here, I have digital copies (computer files, mp4 etc.) of all of the episodes. And, besides having the files they are all up on my usual video hosting site, acct name: shallotpeel, channel it is in: Primetime Soaps and file names like  Flamingo Road S1E15 Hurricane Flamingo Road was a primetime soap on NBC by Lorimar Productions. 2 seasons. 1980-1982. Morgan Fairchild, Barbara Rush. Developed by Rita Lakin.   
    • Arguably DAYS OF OUR LIVES has been brilliant lately & definitely was last week. But, here I am with nitpick & technicalities. This was the only misstep but it was just a stupid thing that should have been caught. Deidre Hall as Marlena has this one problematic line, "It didn't matter how many identities you had, I always knew exactly who you were, you were the man who saved my life." - Marlena, DAYS, 6-2-25 Unfortunately the flashback closest to it was when Marlena was on the phone, terrified because she thought he was Stefano. Yes, it's true that the line is not accurate. There were many times when she did not feel the way she is claiming because of whatever was going on in story with his 'retconned to hell & back' identity & origin story. Does it keep the whole week from being called excellent? Nope.

    • I decided this primetime soap deserved it's own thread as the Primetime soaps thread is very cluttered and why shouldn't NBC's Lorimar soap mot have a chance to shine? In doing a deeper dive into the second season ratings I was surprised to see that FR actually had an uptick in the ratings when NBC moved it to 9pm Tuesdays beginning March 82. I'd always assumed this move was a desperate one as NBC were running short of programming and had given up on the show,deciding to let the final episodes play out and be hammered by 3's Company  and CBS Movie. But the numbers paint a different story. In it's 10pm slot up against Hart to Hart, which regularly finished in the Top 20, FL premiered in 53rd place and placed in the 40's and 50's as the season continued. But come January 82 the numbers surged a little now moving into the 40's hitting #43 in Feb. Hart to Hart was #11 Then in March Bret Maverick was moved to 8pm with FR @9. First week 16th March FR #47 15.1/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Not great but #2 in it's timeslot March 23 FR #44 15.6/25 3's Company #4 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #33 So even with a stronger movie on CBS FR's numbers went up. March 30 FR #31 16.6/26 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #56 Best rating/position yet Tues April 6 pre empted Tues April 14 FR #36 16.0/26 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #11 CBS Movie #59 Maintaining previous week's numbers Tues April 21 FR #33 15.6/24 3's Company #3 Too Close for Comfort #5 CBS Movie #60 Numbers down a little (reflecting general spring downturn) but best ranking of the season so far Tues April 28 FR #35 15.1/23 3's Company #9 Too Close for Comfort #6 CBS Movie #42 Tues May 4 FR #27 15.2/24 3's Company #5 Too Close for Comfort #4 CBS Movie #41 Season finale and highest position of the season. Looking at those numbers I wonder why NBC cancelled the show? They had very few hits and here was a show that was holding it's own and moving up in the rankings in a tougher timeslot. And being a serial, the storylines could continue to build the following season. And I'm sure the desirable W18-49 demo was good. Some might argue that CBS were shower weaker movies, but even so, soap viewers are pretty loyal. I guess Grant Tinker arrived at NBC and wanted a classier look but there was room for FR on the schedule. I mean, the following season Knight Rider,Powers of Matthew Star and the A Team arrived so there was still room for more populist fare. Flamingo could have stayed at 9pm-the replacement Gavilan bombed (surely FR would have done better} or moved back to 10pm. The following Jan NBC had a hit with A Team Tues 8pm. Had Flamingo followed it, it might have really taken off. As it was they tried Bare Essence, which flopped. Oh well,it was not to be...    
    • Always, in every way, Cass/Wally/Felicia foundational to my viewing. And, I think if we look at the aftermath of the disastrous 90 minute show that we find too many pockets of some kind of lost time at the show plus way too much of change-ups in exec & writing leadership and of course we also reach the first time it becomes notable that NBC wants to get rid of the show so they can put a new soap they own in the timeslot.
