petunia, NO ONE wants this to be true more than I, but what of the CONSTANT demonizing of EJ? The way they rewrite history and claim EJ had a gun to her head and raped Sami? (he didn't have a gun to her head during the sex or just before it; he didn't really rape Sami, it was sex in exchange for Lucas' life).

I WANT to believe they want us to hate Lucas, but too many signs are suggesting otherwise.

And as for the person who said they hate, Lucas, today, I'll say I HATE ROMAN! He's an annoying broken record, going on and on about how EJ's siding with the DiMeras. NOTHING indicates that! He's a prick!

You make it sound as if she jumped at the chance to let him screw her. He presented her with an ultimatum first, either she has sex with him, or he leaves Lucus all alone to die in the cabin. Of course she was going to go with the option that would save Lucus' life. She wasn't emotionally or physically longing for EJ, her heart was dead set on Lucus.

He coerced her into sex, which in many jurisdictions is a form of rape.

I know what happened in the scene. I was actually making a point about how wrong it is for people like AMC Zendall fan to try to simplify it the other way with the BS that EJ raped Sami at gunpoint when that is not what we were shown at all.

But not apparently in Salem because the police commander hasn't even attempted to arrest him for it.

Actually that is how I saw it, too....Sami bargained for what she wanted, too. She had options. EJ had a gun, but he didn't shoot her or hit her in the head with it to knock her out to get what he was programmed to do by his dying father. She could have told him "No way, Jose and got out of the car. He wouldn't have shot her. There were other people in the area obviously, why was there a roadblock where their picture was taken....police even around there. It was just not a rape at all. I hated that it was even shown that way because I really loved LUMI then and hated that was written in and that Sami went along with it. I hated that she talked to him and allowed him in her home afterward. But, in the end, I ended up cheering for EJ and loathing the juvenile boy Lucas. Just get him off my screen. Now, that is some turn around from someone who hated EJ passionately not so long ago.

I love Anna. She is so one-of-a-kind LOL and so much fun. The real Tony with Anna was magic.

What I loved the most about today was Marlena showing motherly love for Sami, her older daughter, at long last. I wish I had taped today just for that.

Actually, I'm enjoying Bart this time around. He's toned it down a notch or two and for me that works much better.

What I did not understand about today was why on earth Bo and Hope didn't talk to Mother Superior to learn what happened to Colleen. They surely won't get it from Shawn for sometime and going all that way to not read (it was 1957 for goodness sake) the old newspaper stories at the local library or talk to the locals about it is beyond me. They are supposed to be detectives, right?

Exactly. I like EJ but facts are facts. In regards to today, Roman mentioned EJ had a gun and forced his daughter into the situation she ended up in. He didn't really go off on a rape tangent today.

Good show today.

I am in love with Anna. Give LeAnn a contract please! I am so happy she was the one to figure out something was up with Tony. It works so well with her history. Loved her scenes with Roman and Tony. Her interaction with Bart was hilarious. Also, loved the Tony/Bart scenes. Bart is a waste but I like Blackwood and he is quite funny and so much better this time around. Good ending with Tony and EJ. Great scenes with them.

Roman/EJ was kind of boring but some movement there. I love seeing Marlena act as a mother to Sami. Hope that keeps up like it has been. I like Lucas but he was annoying me today. They had toned him down for a bit and I was loving him earlier this week but it's back to intolerable again. Hope that changes because I loved Marlena telling him off.

I also loved Hope/Bo/Shawn Sr. The Addie mention was fantastic and love overdue. KA and FP had me getting teary eyed in that scene. PR was good too. Loved the flashback of little Shawn Sr begging Colleen to stay. That was heartbreaking and they really are building this up to something big. Loving it.

Good show and let's hope for a great end to a stellar week! :)

          Thank you. I didn't realize there was confusion. You cleared it up.  It is more than crazy that this whole conversation is off-topic.

      Sure!  And we promise, Mr Corday -- we will ridicule those wonderful old episodes daily on social media.   NOT!

      "To give her child a name" just means to make the child legitimate and be able to take the father's surname.

      I would say, Denise was the ONLY good thing about that insultingly ridiculous plot.  But all this took place near the end of Another World's "let's play everything for laughs" era.  Thank God that nonsense ended around 1988.

      Will I miss anything pertinent fast forwarding? I love that Kristina is so aghast someone could think she’s crazy after she just tried to kill someone. She’s basically saying my mom doesn’t know the full extent of my crazy, how dare she! It’s laughable. I genuinely don’t know what the show wants us to think of Kristina at this point,

      Oh yes, that would be grand!  But Ken Corday will never allow that.  No executive-producer wants to hear people rave about how good his show "used to be".    Thank you for sharing that information.  I barely remember that plot, but it was so significant in DOOL's history.  Ramifications went on for years and years.

      Not just that but Im sure she will be blamed for trying to poison Laura with potassium. Remember when Nicole started to put the pieces together that someone may have tampered with her IV? She dropped it bc she got distracted with the party, but they did make a note to mention that Eva lied and sent a card and flowers there on Nicole's behalf. Im sure they will say that that was just a cover for her to be in Laura's room and come for her

      Susan named her son after her father, Richard, and they called him Dickie, for short. David had bought Dickie a play swing but it was too big for him. One day, while David was babysitting, he put Dickie in the swing, took his eyes off of him for a few seconds and he fell out of the swing, hit his head and died. Susan was so devastated that she shot and killed David only like a few episodes later.

      Mickey Horton got her off, temporary insanity. Edit to add: If only Peacock would air this storyline.  Edit to add: David was supposed to be watching the child. Wasn't. Child fell out of swing, broke his neck. The show had the camera focus on that empty swing, just barely moving ...
