DAYS: Thursday

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! :)

    • Oups!! I guess when i was doing the editing, i left a part of 3169, too (RTL Lounge airs 2 episodes per day back to back). Sorry about that ! Tonight i ll try to record 3171-3172. If i m not mistaken 3172 is missing from YouTube.

    • I would put Felicia in the 'small dose' auntie category because she means well, but comes on too strongly at times.  In small doses, she would be a blast to hang out with.. but in anything larger than a small... she would be exhausting. I tend to prefer lower key people than people that are always 'on' all the time.  Those people can veer off into energy vampire status pretty quickly.
    • I didn't like the Harry story, but Nazar did have a great introduction. He was probably the highlight of last year.  Now that you mention it, I guess the truly dire stories (Nicole, Harper/Drew/Phil, Nicole) didn't start until summer.
    • thank you all for contributing to the Vault. I am slowly getting towards watching the 1998 episodes

    • I pray⏤and I know it's a big prayer⏤that Noel Maxam is somehow able to figure things out budget-wise so we can stop re-dressing existing sets as "new" sets. I know in apartment buildings apartments can generally look the same, but I'm over it on this soap. The last time he was executive producer was in 2011 when the original Horton Town Square was introduced, and we had some other sets get introduced around this time (likely pre-commissioned prior to his election), but I'm trying to have some hope he can pull this off. Let's [finally] see it.
    • Definitely not the best of RC's breakdowns. I don't know what it says that I could pick up his trademarks yesterday 30 minutes in without even knowing that he did one. There was something more...quirky/boardstroked...about Dani. Though I love the Dani/Nicole scenes, she was just a little too hip?...which made me think back to the episode when she broke into Bill/Hayley's house. Then watching the episode later on, I saw Hayley was being used as a punchline to the more interesting and relevant Bill/Ted scenes (see you all were just talking about how you hoped they got scenes...one thing this show is great at...what people want on this board...they already have the foresight for it. The reason I feel the DNA test will get mentioned @Cheap21 in more detail). And then poor Anita reduced for the most part propping up an album.    Needless to say, not my favorite RC episode. And since we are in aftermath week, I just smh. And barely worth a rewatch. BUT...was there good for me?    Yes. Thankfully, we still got good aftermath beats regardless of the breakdown.   Like I said, I really like the Dani/Nicole scenes. But I love their dynamic. And I was looking forward to the shoe being on the other foot once the SilkPress storyline hit climax. Quirks aside, it did not disappoint. Dani came in, and she came in fierce for her sister. I loved her attacking Eva. And then her being surprisingly introspective about Nicole due to her own experience. No wonder Nicole reacted to her being self-aware. So did I.    Meanwhile Bill and Ted finally met up. I'm kinda sad that we did not get that sooner given the scenes that played out sidepiece in the background aside. It might have been interesting to see more of their status as non-Duprees coming into the family explored.    And of course I can't leave without mentioning Eva vs SilkPress Sheila which was the highlight. Both of them were giving. And SilkPress was just so cold with it. I did love that Eva finally stopped letting her gaslight her. Sad to see the duo break up. But I did love that she went to Ted. So...the next turn begins.   And speaking of turns...uh oh at Kat and Tomas. I'm sure he won't be staying away from her. So most definitely, Kat vs Eva ain't over. It will be interesting to see how it goes now that most people know that Kat was right all along. 
    • Nah I enjoyed it much more last year because of the Harry plot that ended during that time. Nazar being introduced and them. But this time it is so lame and nothing I like forward to anymore and I’m one of them long time fans. Of course I would be upset if they would cancel it but maybe take a year off or two and return refreshed 
    • came across this quote that provides some context: “It’s hard to escape the cultural reach of the Catholic Church when you live in the Western world. It is, for better or worse, one of the load-bearing walls of our civilization. Its influence wafts from the church into the streets of civic life, the courts, the schools, the arts.”
