DAYS: Lucas & Sami have received the official "Kiss of Death!"


Recommended Posts

Lucas has never been a match for Sami. She's fire and passion, and he's hot air. She loves freely and faithfully; he gives and takes his love at will--especially if Carrie is around (I'll never forgive him for the Carrie worship last year and how he demeaned Sami). I loved it today when Tony was making fun of him for losing his wife--AGAIN! They haven't had much of a marriage so far because she's spent more time with EJ than Lucas and now with Stefano's proposition....just how much will Sami sacrifice for love of her family? And could Lucas handle it if this baby is in fact EJ's and not his? I don't think he could. He's too arrogant and egotistic; I think he would end up resenting Sami and the baby.

EJ did NOT rape Sami. Period IMO. I've watched the scene and looked it from a million angles. I just don't see it. I'm not saying it was the greatest act of love making in the world of Daytime but it certainly was not rape. It was a business transaction.

Sex for Help. Pure and Simple.

EJ held the gun to her face so that she could get him past the police. And he offered her a deal. She had a CHOICE. She chose what she thought was the right path. And the writers decided to make it "rape" all of sudden. Probably one of the worse things I've seen done on a soap in a while.

Brotha but its ALL GOOD!

Team EJami 2007!

But on a more down to Earth manner rape is a very serious matter and I take it that way too. So I'm not just saying EJ didn't rape Sami because I don't want obstacles to be in their way of being together. I'm saying it because I believe it to be true regardless of how the writers try to spin it or force the characters and actors to believe it. Elvis and Samantha have enough troubles as it is without the "rape" that will create enough drama to last for ages.

As for Chelsae I dunno I was kinda turned on by Jeremy's lil towel drop. I dunno if his crown jewels actually touched her but IF they did then I agree its a crime and he should be punished. But of course its up to her. I mean me I probably would have enjoyed it...lol. But thats cuz I'm a sucker for guys like that. As it is I can see sparks flying between the two of em. Sad as it is to say I just don't see Nick and Chelsae as a supercouple right now. Nick is just b*tching way too much over Willow for me to even care.

While I'm on the subject of the "teen scene" or "young adult scene" (you pick the one you like best) Shawn needs to beat the crap out of Phillip ASAP! I'm so sick of this creep thinking he can step in and take over Shawn's role in Claires life. If it wasn't for Philip and his crazy father Claire wouldn't be in this mess. And Belle needs to open her dumb eyes and see whats going on here. At the same time if I were Shawn I would have gone with them since Willow is dead and that isn't going to change. The results can be read over the phone.

I'm very certain that Jere pressed up against Chelsea because the SECOND it happened, I SHOUTED ALOUD, "I GOTTA WRITE ABOUT THIS ON SON!"

It was sexual harassment. It was illegal. Chelsea can press charges.

Meanwhile, as for EJami, I just HOPE TO GOSH that somehow, someway, Sami can find a secret camera in Lexi's car or something and see the footage of what really happened "that night," lol. I mean, it WASN'T RAPE!!! I just wish she could see, on video, and remember that she exchanged SEX for Lucas' life.

It was A BUSINESS TRANSACTION.

It was PROSITUTION.

It was NOT, however, rape.

Heck, I may even start a campaign for this. (To have Sami find a video of that night.)

You can, if you like. It's a free country.

But that's more of a word that "Entertainment Tonight" or some trendy entertainments show would use -- to be trendy.

The courts would probably agree that the incident was prostitution.

(Hear that, Hogan? That means you failed -- with this story!)

Please tell me how it WASN'T rape? It was "Have sex with me, or the man you love dies" and he's holding a gun

We all know rape is, but here's a few definitions that fit in Sami & EJ's case:

the unlawful compelling of a woman through physical force or duress to have sexual intercourse.

to force to have sexual intercourse.

Sami was under DURESS, it was RAPE!!!!

But at the same time there was a gun to her head.

She didn't want it to happen. She was put in a forced position. Gun to her head, and then yes given a choice but lets say Lucas was not in that position and the gun wasn't there and she was given a choice of do it or leave, that wouldn't be rape. She would have obviously said no, she didn't WANT to do it! She was forced to!

The argument that the gun was there to force her to help him cross the border is weak. Regardless of EJ's intention, the gun was present, and that put Sami in a position where she wouldn't want to anger EJ further. And then, he basically threatened to leave a man to die, the man she loves, so yes, she made a choice. But don't be hasty in calling it a simple business transaction, because it's not simple. Sami was under duress well before the topic of sex came up, so, no, she didn't choose it. The statement of a woman choosing her duress is ridiculous to begin with.

The argument of whether or not it was rape will never end, and I've come to terms with that. I just wish the anti-rape crowd would come up with more solid arguments for their version of what happened, because I've yet to see a well-supported argument.

I think the arguments that I've read in this thread for their being no rape are pretty strong. On the other hand I haven't really heard any real reasons as to why this is really rape. EJ didn't pin Samantha to the seat. He didn't lock her inside the car. He definitely didn't hold both her hands up high while he proceeded to unbuckle his belt (the classic rape scene you see in the movies and daytime). NONE of that occured. All that happened was that EJ had a gun (the gun he presumably used to shoot John which I hope he didn't really use on John). So he had a gun and the gun was to force Samantha to get him the hell out of Salem. And for protection against the police. Thats all! What bad guy whos trying to escape doesn't have a weapon. EJ didn't purposely have a weapon with the intent that he was going to rape Sami.

He just saw an oppurtunity and he took it. He offered her a deal. She accepted.

Business Transaction. At its most simple and basic terms. Sex for Help. I don't know how to explain any more clearer. In fact I'm so angry at the writers for even making this scene happen since its caused so many people to look at EJ with disdain and disgust. Hes not a bad person. And while he is Stefano's son and he may have done some horrible things to the other Bradys thats just a product of his family and his rearing. Now that hes met Sami he knows theres a different way to live life and I look forward to EJami being in TRUE LOVE by the end of this year with a lil bundle of joy to complete the package.

Do we know if Sami is carrying a girl or a boy!? Maybe twins!? That would be sick (in a good way). I can SO see Elvis having 2 lil girls running around the house. He'd be such an overprotective father. Think of the awesome storylines they could have down the road with these girls.

    • 6-5   Case in point...lol.   Kat and Jacob can soooo have a spinoff. Just watching her being adamant that Eva is up to no-good while Jacob continues to try to play straight man to the craziness continued to be a hoot to watch. And the sad part is that Kat is on the right trail, just following the wrong clues. Or worse coming to the wrong conclusion. All because of her dislike for Eva.    Meanwhile, Eva continued to make inroads. I know I have said this since the start of the show, but I love how for the most part, the writers write the characters in gray. Not completely white. Not completely black. Most of the characters have moments where they resonate with the audience and then have moments where they are unlikeable. Like technically, Eva should be a pariah. I like that she knows this, understands this, and still shows remorse and still tries to work to get back the lost trust. It makes her so rootable. And played by a star is a bonus.

       It is also what makes the rivalry between Eva and Kat so much fun to watch. Also played by a star. Neither one is perfect really, but they are oh so watchable and a nice by-product of the SilkPress storyline.    Same for Anita. I love the regal coldness TT has given to the role. The sense of ruthlessness beneath the beautiful face. And yeah it can be a turn-off. And it's been nice to see a softer side to her throughout this story of her and her bandmates. She is far from perfect. She...is also NOT a doormat so it was great to watch her versus her bandmates this episode.    I like the run-in between NuTed and Nicole. I'm getting used to NuTed. And Nicole's presence has been a little too light for my liking. I can only assume that is to build to the next Nicole vs Silk Press Sheila confrontation which rumor has it will be another good one.    Speaking of which...LAURA IS OUT OF THE HOSPITAL!!!! Praise it be!!! And I thought it was so adorable that Nicole, Kat, and Mona were on hand to welcome her back. I liked that Laura has an open mind toward Eva (unlike her feelings toward SilkPress). Another layer to add to the Eva vs Kat rivalry. 
    • Victoria Principal clearly stacked her Dallas coins real good. In the grand scheme of things, she was smart to walk away from Dallas when she did.
    • When Robert Calhoun became EP I thought GL was finally hitting its stride after some pretty rough years. Unfortunately the ratings during Robert Calhoun's run did not reflect the quality of the show.
    • There was a five week break between the last Friday episode and the Thursday episodes which were the final four episodes. I have a feeling the final four episodes were refilmed to wrap up the storylines. 
    • Yes, I forgot there was a gap between his exit from GL and his start at ATWT. This almost makes me want to cry. He really turned ATWT around (and good for them). It would have been great if someone had done the same for GL. Can't imagine who. The Dobsons were doing Santa Barbara at this point. I mainly blame Kobe. She may not have been the worst EP they ever had, but she almost totally destroyed the Bauers and decimated much of the rest of the cast, sometimes for egotistical reasons. That was a huge mistake and made it that much harder for the show to recover.
    • Douglas Marland began at As the World Turns in September 1985 but it took about a year for his run to show growth in the ratings. 1986 As the World Turns becomes CBS's #2 daytime drama after Y&R.
    • This is not at all surprising. Watching the recently uploaded episodes, the uneveness is SO apparent. Characters are changing at the drop of a hat. The stories are close to incoherent. It's a mess, and we're only up to May. What a fall from grace. An Emmy-winning show with good ratings and within a few short years hitting possible cancelation territory.  I'm surprised CBS and/or P&G didn't try to do SOMETHING to restore its former glory. Was Marland still at ATWT at this point? 
    • I think she did, yes. The only part of that return I remember appreciating was the ripoff they did of Earrings of Madame De, where a secretly broke India sold a trinket and Ross or Alan (I think it was Ross) then bought it for her, not knowing it was hers.
    • 6-4   Getting around to the rewatching and I guess Dani/Bill/Hayley as A story is coming around better to me. I hope that means that I will feel different about Friday's episode which first time around I felt was more of a Wednesday/Thursday episode. Anita's story and Dani/Bill/Hayley (with Kat vs SilkPress being a solid B plot to keep the SilkPress storyline alive, but NOT A story) have been the focus for this past week. So I'm worried I'll feel a way when I get back to Friday's episode. I guess I'm about to find out.   I know I have issues with Dani/Bill/Hayley coming back into focus since the much better paced SilkPress storyline is truly where it's at with so much aftermath/new direction to explore. However, I'm finding that...just like with the story of Martin's secret being slowly woven back into the story narrative...I care a little bit more for it since it's been background since Week 3, Month 1. IMHO the characters...outside of Hayley...have been developed in other plots. The past week and a half has had Dani and Andre growing closer and they have gotten to the 'third month what are we?' talk that I expect in all relationships in real life. And I liked how the writers have slowly had friction between them to see what they are made of? Is it still just a booty call or can it be more? Meanwhile, Bill has been hiding his physical issues for months. Too busy messing with other people's marriages.

          So now that they have some more POV to them, it was good to see an organic...and yes, it was organic...reason for them to be in the same room. In this case...the hospital room. Lord, Karla and Timon have such great chemistry. And Dani and Bill were so acting like exes. No wonder Hayley feels threatened. Oh, well. lol. Bonus...the drama with Bill has Hayley and Naomi back in each other's orbit. They don't have enough scenes together.    You all know I was waiting for Anita's story. So how am I feeling? Pretty good. TT has been playing it to the hilt. And I was not expecting the story of a fourth member who killed themselves after being pushed out. And it's had a build. First through Tracy. And now with Sharon...who is swiftly being established as a piece of work. A Have-Not (if not Has-Been) who is not above scheming. Okay. lol. I liked the conversation between Anita and Vernon where she told him the truth, and he tried to hold her up. Whether she deserved it or not, it was good to see. I'm sure all of the secrets are not out yet so I look forward to more. Cuz we know they are not cancelling the reunion. Which fingers crossed...will be at the police fundraiser.     Honestly, I continued to be impressed with how the writers have kept Silk Press Sheila out of jail, but still playing the beats of it all. She's definitely in covering her tracks mode, and it's great to watch. It's also great to see her mixing it up with different characters. I was happy to get the long-awaited showdown between her and Nosy Nurse and Nosy Nurse READ...HER...DOWN. I was just disappointed Nosy Nurse spilled some tea. And that led to SilkPress's scene with Andre. And then Andre...lord...talked too much.   C plot this episode has been Chelesa's love life. I was wondering where it was going to go after her talk with Vernon. Enter...Mystery Woman. I wonder what her secret would be that would get in her way with Chels. Related to an enemy of the Duprees? Married? I am intrigued. And I do like Chelesa getting the spotlight because daytime does not really do it like how they are doing it with her.    Can Kat and Jacob get a spinoff? lol.
