Members numberonedaysfan Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 so we should celebrate a guy because he has amazing chemistry with his victim? Also does anyone know how i can get in touch with soapnet/deborah blackwell of soapnet? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members adrianna17 Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Should you celebrate a man trying to kill his supposed lover and now they are together? Cause Lucas did that twice to Sami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members R!ck Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 I haven't taken any offense to you at all Kenny. Your still my future husband I just found the whole rape excuses to be in poor taste, and some comments making light of the situation. I probably shouldn't even have posted considering how my day has been, and the fact that I can't let go. Guess it was my day to play the martyr? Andre, Sorry for grouping you in that category as I cannot possibly know how others would feel, just how I do. I hope no offense was taken?

Members Andre Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 All's good. It was, all around, an element that shouldn't have entered the conversation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Gwennie Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Whether it was rape or not, the fact that the whole situation has been so glossed over by other characters is the worst part of this story. You would think Marlena would be horrified either way, especially considering her past similar situations with Stefano at Maison Blanche to save John and then again in Paris in order to be free from her golden cage. Roman and John, her fathers, should be pissed either way. And Lucas should be conflicted, either way. What is the point of doing something so drastic if we don't get to see the reactions to it?

Members dragonflies Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Please don't compare them to Luke and Laura, Luke was actually redeemed after he raped Laura, EJ has gotten to the point where he's completely unredeemable. Luke actually felt remorse what he did to Laura, EJ hasn't felt any remorse or anything for raping Sami, IMO he feels he was justified. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jacks Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 AGREED. I think Lucas has been more emotional about how he feels about it, the others have not. I missed some of the show yesterday and some of it last week so I was under the presumption that what E.J. did was revealed to everyone and thus explained their reactions, or lack thereof today at the Pub. But it turns out the writers overlooked that. Everyone seems to have a different opinion and although I believe it was indeed rape, I think we can all at least agree that that some of the fallout and character reactions to this could have been better.

Members adrianna17 Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 A Zendull fan against James/EJ LOL Doesn't have to do with your BULLY love now does it? Yup! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted May 31, 2007 Administrator Share Posted May 31, 2007 AMC Zendall Fan made a valid statement. There was no purpose in bringing up another actor or character from AMC that you hate. Let's not turn this into a James Scott vs Thorsten Kaye thread. Thank you.

Members dragonflies Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Thank you Toups Great post! Yeah I remember reading OLTL wanted to pair up Todd and Marty and RH and SH fought against it, which I'm glad of, that would just been beyond wrong on so many levels. I'm not the biggest Luke and Laura fan, but at least the rape is being dealt with and is STILL having repercussions and fall out(Lucky finding out, Lulu finding out, etc...)

Members Dan Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 I'm not really going to talk about Todd because I've always felt that Roger Howarth was totally overrated, but I disagree with the comparison to Roger Thorpe. The GL writers toyed with the Roger/Holly relationship for years, but make no mistake, they never brushed the rape under the rug NOR did they make Roger and Holly a "romantic" couple. IMO, the appeal to Roger and Holly was that they WEREN'T a supercouple like everyone else. The rape was an ever-present hurtle for the couple, despite Roger's emphatic appologies. The key factor was also time. It took Roger and Holly a long time to be even remotely intimate. The couple had sex for the first time since the rape in 1993, 14 years (over 20 in soap time!) after the rape in 1979! Even then, Holly and Roger hardly got together.

Members xDaysAddict Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 Back to the ORIGINAL discussion... TVG: After EJ raped Sami, were you worried about your future on the soap? And why isn’t Days playing out the fallout of the rape? James Scott: I would be lying if I said I didn’t worry about my future on the soap. I don’t think they handled the rape very well, and I’ll tell you why. EJ raped Sami, and then afterwards, he’s hanging out in her house — alone with her. It’s irresponsible on so many levels. However, had it been handled well, I think it would have been an interesting story choice. Now the story focus has shifted to her pregnancy and the classic soap story of paternity. Having said that, I chose to believe that EJ is in love with Samantha — he just can’t communicate it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dragonflies Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 From the actors' own mouths-it's rape Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ponz Posted May 31, 2007 Members Share Posted May 31, 2007 And from the actor's own mouth, the writers have little or no interest in addressing it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
