If this is what Max is going to be doing, I'd rather he and Darin written out. You promised no more incest, Hoagie!

That said, the main storyline was great. I sadly missed Tuesday, but I'm glad I didn't miss this! Ponz said it best. What the show needs is a great, dynomite intro and equally phenom end, with all the great character driven stuff in the middle. We saw that today and WHAT A DIFFERENCE!

The flashbacks were great, in addition to the actual slideshow. Though I'm not pleased Elvis figured yet another way to have his dirty little fingers in everything, the picture showing up like that was great. And I loved how everything played out even before the picture- Will & Maggie's small banter over the surprise, Marlena talking about Eric, Maggie mentioning Bill, and then the attention to the date, Kate's smugness, and the beginning of Sami's tearful confession.

The teen story had no place here. I really don't understand what they're trying to go for with this new Stephanie. I'm over the Shayna vs. Shelley thing, but seriously. She looks like a Horton, not a Brady/Johnson. And then, she's a millions hades a different character. Between the timing, the lack of real different characterization (as others have said, she's just Chelsea II), and everything else, I say they should have kept Shayna on recurring. I realize she'll be an important link for Jeremy coming on later, but honestly, I don't care. Maybe they supposed Stephanie the Sweet was too far from Chelsea to be considered her friend, with Abby filling the sweet role. I just ain't buying Dayton Ohio being such a change for her. Though someone pointed out to be that the actress often slips aqnd says Daytona, which would make sense :lol: And are we seriously supposed to believe that a serious racecar driver would get a virtual high off of joyriding? And Chelsea, just getting her license back, is all for it? Given her history, that's a slap in the face to anyone who DOES care about the character. I'm all for her not being perfect, but come on. She shouldn't need another, similar wake-up call.

So as good as the wedding was, there were other plot-enforce dmoments like this that drove me up the wall.

The scenes between Steve and EJ near the end, though? Ooh. I definitely see the turning point. Steve is determined to stay himself. When I saw EJ pull the card out, I was yelling at Steve not to look, and he resisted at first. It was different than before. He's learned. I'm actually semi-excited about this story, now that the dynamics are slightly different. Very slightly.

You were crying? You're sucha wuss, buddy. LOL ;)

Great episode!! Loved the choice of flashbacks (even though I hated those stupid special effects.....why can't they just use the original footage???.....stupid Wyman) and loved how the EJ/Sami photo revelation......it was so unexpected.

Tired of the orange tint. Stephanie hanging out of the sunroof was just stupid. Good the idiots got pulled over. There goes Steph, didn't see that one coming. :rolleyes:

Loved the wedding, I like how everyone cheered, all happy that Sami finally got it right.

It was great to mention John, Eric, Alice, and Bill. (may have missed someone)

When EJ walked into the chapel, the look on Sami's face and holding her hand over her heart. Glad he didn't stop the wedding.

The montage was wonderful, brought back so many Lumi memories and some tears. Cripes sake Kate, leave your son and his wife alone. Roman, why must you question Sami then and there. Let her be happy for 5 flippin minutes.

Can we just tear up that stupid tarot card.

Oh, I love how everyone turned around to see EJ at the back of the church. Suspense!!! EJ has reached Stefano DiMera status in my book.

I'm loving the hearbeat music. OMG! As I'm watching, they're playing the slow motion of Steve and Kayla's scenes intercutting the wedding scenes. I may just die right now. DAYS is actually doing something well in production wise. OMG EJ is like an icon standing at the church in front of everyone. Everyone's eyes are fixated on him. AHHH! TOo much, too much!

I liked the shots as well.

Sami always falls at her weddings, if she wouldn't have fallen, it would have not been a Sami wedding.

I missed some of the points everyone has pointed out, looks like I will have to watch it again, it was a wonderful show, so I don't mind.

Why is Chelsea allowed to drive?

Marlena pimping the green wedding was awful. I couldn't help but feel embarrassed for her. And THAT HAIR!!! Did she not brush it or did the crazy humidity get to it.

Kate looks awful. Did she wrap some wrinkled sheet of paper around herself?

I haven't watched in two months. And Steve and Kayla's story is STILL in the same place. Sheesh...

i haven't watched yet, but i'm fine with Days/Marlena pimping the green wedding...The show does supposedly have this budget issue, so this was a great way for Days to get most of the wedding payed for...They also got a lot of publicity by having a green wedding, and are able to raise awareness on being environmentally friendly...

The show is on in an hour, for the first time in a long time i'm so excited to watch it..

You know, while this is on my mind, this new Stephanie and Shayna's Stephanie I can totally see going at each other. They are like the exact opposite of each other. And Shayna had something that just said "Steve and Kayla's daughter". This girl doesn't, really.

LOVING Lumi stuff so far. Though the ceremony was rushed, I have watched ton of Sami weddings before so I was happy to get this one done. :lol:

Ugh, even though MBE is in the role now, I don't like seeing Josh Taylor's Roman kiss Kayla. Longtime viewers will know why.

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow
