DAYS: Monday, May 14th

Another good episode to start what I hope is a week that maintains solid momentum.

Now, in response to Drew H's post, I really hope Judi is contract. She is fantastic and the show could utilize her well. I just hope they explain more about where she has been and so on if she sticks around.

Now, about the episode. I want to thank Hogan and the writers for bringing back the solid character writing we were getting in the Fall. We are seeing more human sides of Philip and EJ and that was necessary and Lucas has his sparkle back.

The Sami/Lucas/EJ scenes were well-done. Lucas's reaction was spot on and I am so glad that the attempted murder plot was exposed so quickly and wasn't pushed under the rug. I liked Lucas's "Too bad you didn't kill him" line. The LUMI I love is back and that ending with them leaving and EJ following them...nice buildup.

JS is incredible. The dejection he had all over his face was heartbreaking. I felt for him. He actually beleived Sami when she said he was the father. I loved LUMI standing up to him and the scenes with him and Kate were very good. Him finally admiting his love for Sami and the way Kate kicked the door in and said "Bloody Hell"...priceless. I love LK but they need to give her more to do. She didn't even care about EJ forcing himself on Sami or the fact that Sami saved Lucas's life. I am worried about her character and her job because she is growing more and more expendible and I don't want her to go.

The Kayla/Adrienee scenes were nice. Judi and MBE always worked well together and Bonnie is nothing but a distant memory now. Her bringing the gun to Kayla and their whole talk was chilling. Nice buildup and I loved seeing Adrienne fear for her brother. Can't wait for Hope/Adrienne tomarrow.

The island stuff was nothing much but having Bo there makes a big difference. I am liking Gabby again but she is useless. Hopefully, Bisco finds a gig elsewhere. Belle's clue was lame but at least she was smart enough to leave one. Also, JKJ has toned it down alot and so have the writers and I appreciate that.

All in all, a solid episode and the roll continues.

Oh, and Ridge is 100% right. Days gave yet another sweeps to Ali Sweeney and the girl did it again. It seems everytime the show needs a boost or a spark to get going again it starts with her and here we are again. She is amazing and she is probably one of the most important people that is vital to this show's success. She is definitely the most marketable. Sweeps has been great so far and let's hope this is just the beginning of a great ride.

You think so?

I think that was just him pretending that he truly thought he was really the father of Sami's unborn child. In acting such a way, that gave him the chance to possibly get some sympathy out of Sami and Lucas. He knew the amnio report was falsified so he had to have known that Sami had no certain way of knowing whether he was the father or not, and rather that was just her telling him what he wanted to hear.

I thought that too Jinxed but then we had the scene with him alone where he flashed back to her telling him that and that she wanted the baby to be a Dimera. The way that scene was portrayed and the way EJ was sulking and so depressed showed me that internally he bought it. Maybe in his mind he didn't but in his heart he did. His heart was broken and I think Sami's words almost reassured him the baby was his and her saying she didn't know who the father was on top of her marrying Lucas when he was sure Lucas would dump her after learning the truth, basically took the wind out of his sails.

JS brought back EJ's magic today IMO. It's so good to see the human side of him, and Philip, again. It as necessary and was something lacking for most of this year.

My first hee haw of the show. And the phone service was messed up, too, remember.

Also, I loved seeing Philip deck the injured Shawn. He needed it badly long ago. Also, I'd love to see Philip, Belle and Shawn behave like rational adults with Claire's welfare the only concern.

Gabby is sharper than Shawn, it's too bad he has to leave his brains on the island. She can grasp and reason very well. I'll miss her. I'll miss Duck, too. He is an interesting character.

I frankly don't know a word Adrienne and Kayla said. I could scarcely stand to even look at either of them being as they don't interest me in the least. I cannot get drawn into this story at all.

Thankfully the New Orleans storyline is about to begin, and the teen's mystery.

Nope! It was supposed to happen on May 11. We got sh*t. :angry:

Lucas and Sami will probably be married 3 months before they air the wedding gifts. Remember the last time fans got to decide something on this show? I believe Bo and Hope's daughter ran aruond with he hideous name "Doodlebug" for 3 months.

I heard that the gifts were "scanned across" at the wedding from the camera... that's about as much as we got from it.

I also heard that the scenes were cut whenever Bryan Dattillo got sick during the taping of the wedding.

Every time I see EJ, Sami, and Lucas together in a scene these days I just get tired. I know it's the fault of the previous months' material and not now, but well, lack of good build-up has its ramifications, and I'm on my last legs with this storyline. Of course I bet they will milk the triangle for months to come. When I ask myself honestly, I don't care about a Brady-Dimera baby either.

I liked seeing Kayla and Adrienne, but it's just filler.

The island stuff moved along today which was good, I guess ... and yet this too should've happened ages ago.

I guess the bottom line is I'm not excited about anything! Which is sad!

    • I'm not intrigued by Cat.  I find her annoying.  I just ... no.

    • She might be using Anita like she planned to do before. If so, I suspect Tracy is not in on it. I'm not sure if this was revealed yet - I didn't watch 6/11 yet.

    • I feel like they have already been rested as it is. I've rarely seen a cancer story for a major character treated as casually as it was with Alfie. I would probably write him out and have Kat on her own as they seem to have no ability to write for a serious Alfie or to rein Shane in.
    • I hate to say it: but, at this point, I'd marry off Alfie and Kat, and then rest them off-canvas for a period of time.
    • Oh, I hear what you're saying. People these days will follow anyone whether they have substance or not. 
    • @Liberty City @MichaelGL I could believe the possible spoiler about another landlady as Kat seems likely temporary/placeholder to me.  I don't hate the idea of Kat being in the Vic, especially as the overhyped drag parody that is Elaine (even if they have belatedly tried to humanize her) and dullard George and his dull children do nothing for me. I just wish Kat was in a stronger place. They have shown so little of her in the last few years in stories that should have been stronger than they are, and it's not just because of Jessie's suspensions or injury breaks.
    • Yep, when Kim was bonked over the head during the harrowing tornado, she was in love with that grinning, happy, big-haired Dan who looked as though he belonged on The Brady Bunch.  (Reilly) By the time she finally regained her memory fully and shook herself free of John Dixon (didn't she get pregnant with Andy during all of this?), she was stuck with that sad-eyed, grouchier Dan who'd been Dan several years earlier (Colenback).  The Bolivia trip was probably the switchover.   
    • I'm clinging to the fact that it was Jill in charge when GV last got "treatment" from GH. Praying he has no reason to blame Frank. Love2Hate Drew seems multiple choice: redemption or discovery of his not-Drewness which means they've got Drew tucked somewhere, probably where NotBritt has been kept. I have only one thing to say about JJ. Clearly he has a future in PR or politics. Who knew he could tell a tale so well?
