Announcer: A who's the daddy reversal!

Flashback to the paternity reveal and Lucas telling EJ he's out of their lives.

Announcer: Now a Brady has what a Dimera wants. (Shot of Lumi with Sami touching her belly).

EJ: Samantha's mine...my wife, my kids.

Announcer: And a deadly trap is set.

We see a lock bolted and EJ walking away while Lucas screams: 'I'm gonna freeze to death, let me out of here!'

EJ: Lucas's life ends today...and mine begins.

A frozen Lucas passes out next to what looks like a Kate mannequin.

DIE, DIE, EJ DIE. Anyone who would want an evil DiMera with Sami is crazy IMHO. He raped her dammitt. Bryan Datillo(Lucas) is a good actor, as is James Scott(EJ). I'd like to see EJ actually stay on the show, not be evil like Stefano and André and be paired with someone else, maybe Kate.

I'm glad EJ is doing this to Lucas; maybe he'll shut the hell up for once.

IMO, EJ's been redeemed so much these past months by saving Sami from the brink of death so many times. It's completely understandable he finally loses his cool after being slapped -- literally -- by Stefano and Kate in 2 days, plus wanting to be with Sami so bad.

I love this side of EJ, it brings me back to last summer with the whole Gloved Hand thing.

Can't wait for next week!

ITA. EJ has done everything he could to save Sami and the Bradys from his own family and has received no gratitude, no respect, nothing but slaps and insults. Time after time he stood there and just took it without retaliating. The Bradys hate him, his own father has turned on him and repeatedly called him a coward and a traitor, the one bright spot in his life--his babies--has been taken away from him, and now he's reached his breaking point. He feels he has nothing to lose any more and trying to be good hasn't worked out so well for him.

Remember, this is a man whose mother wanted him raised far away from the influence of the Dimera family and yet somehow Stefano got him away from Susan. EJ grew up seeing the cultured, loving side of his father and because of that grew to believe that Stefano was misunderstood by others and his unsavory actions were just because he was willing to go to extreme lengths for the good of his family. Because of his high regard for his father, EJ has agreed to do bad things and hurt people in order to help Stefano regain his health because he believed Stefano deserved it. Now, EJ has been in Salem long enough to see the situation is not as he was told and recent events have shown him that Stefano is not the falsely accused man with the heart of gold that EJ believed him to be. The foundations of his world are crumbling, and he doesn't know what to do or who to be. He isn't all bad; he isn't all good; he's fascinatingly complex. Maybe he's not the kind of guy you'd want your best friend or daughter to hook up with in real life, but as a soap character, he's fantastic!

EJ raped Sami, brainwashed Steve, and stole John's kidney. He doesn't deserve any respect from the Brady's. And just because he finds out those babies aren't his doesn't give him an excuse to go totally psycho and try to kill Lucas. He is just proving what a wuss he really is.

This is the reason why I love to HATE EJ... I agree with the poster that said not to make him as ruthless as either Stefano or Adre.

It's just a shame that they can't make Kate see that she should be focused on protecting her son from someone else, either than Sami... that whole scenerio is getting old and needs to be put to rest in my opinion; I thought Nikki (Y&R) and Gloria (Y&R) were meddlesome mothers but Kate is a trip.

You're entitled to your opinion, and I respect that but I'm just curious...do you think anyone ever deserves a second chance? Yes, EJ has done bad things....as has almost every character on soaps today. One could argue that Sami deserves no respect from the Bradys because she kidnapped Belle as a baby and sold her on the black market. Doug came to town as a con man and married Addie for her money, while carrying on a flirtation with Addie's daughter. Lexie was involved in the whole baby switch story and tried to kidnap Zack. Chelsea, Billie, Kate, Steve, Jack, Lucas, Sami, Julie, Doug, Philip, Anna, Lexie...they've all done "bad" things and yet still have the friendship and respect of many residents of Salem.

So much for EJ's redemption :lol: . Everyone deserves a second chance but EJ still needed a whole lot more redeeming before I could ever accept him being accepted by the Brady's and Sami. I much prefer him as a gray character, kind of like he was last summer and fall when he romanced Sami but you could still tell he had a hidden agenda.

This does look good though.

    • I’ve reached the summer of 1998.  Until now, my impression has been that the show has steadily improved since the great quality dip of 1994, reaching as high as 8/10 in 1997. Sure, I could complain about a few things in 1997 (Claudia got wasted after her initial storyline; Thorne’s feelings for Taylor were a bit too sudden; the storyline where Sheila lived with James and Maggie while pregnant got rather boring; Mike periodically revisiting Sheila despite being on the run from authorities), but overall it was a very strong year.  I liked the Thorne/Taylor/Ridge triangle, the mystery plot about who shot Grant, the sham wedding to trap Sheila, Stephanie/Eric/Lauren, and Clarke manipulating his way back to working at Forrester. I even liked the Greenland storyline with Eric/Lauren/Rush, although I had expected to hate it. Maybe 1996 tops 1997 in raw soapy excitement (especially as Sheila got a chance to interact with a larger canvas of characters), but certain problems with overall storyline cohesion puts it somewhat below 1997 for me. Unfortunately, 1998 has turned out to be a bit of a speedbump, perhaps on par with 1995 levels of quality: - Maggie’s character really got trashed after James left her to be with Sheila, and the early 1998 storylines where she imprisoned Sheila in the house from Psycho, or installed those wires and mikes and such in her house to make her think she’s going crazy, were total GARBAGE. So much so that the latter storyline (and Maggie with it) pretty much disappeared into a limbo.  - I have mixed feelings about the twins plotline with Lauren. No way did Rush survive being shot with a crossbow through the chest, and the romance between Lauren and Rush’s good twin brother Johnny was rather dry to me. I did however enjoy the camp aspect of Rush taking his brother’s place to be with Lauren, and Eric rescuing her. But it doesn’t appear like Bell cared too much about the Johnny/Lauren romance beyond the twin storyline gimmick, and it too disappeared in an unsatisfactory manner (come on, why not hire Johnny’s actor for just 5 more episodes for an arc where he realizes Lauren is not over Eric, or JUST SOMETHING?) - Clarke wormed his way back to FC in late 1997, which had exciting storytelling potential, but then he disappeared almost entirely. Sad to see my favorite character wasted in this manner. Does he get anything interesting to do between now and the Morgan saga of 2000-2001? - The Thomas saga was entertaining in 1997, but it got stretched out too much, and made some of early 1998 tiresome, with Ridge having to decide YET AGAIN which woman he wants to be with. On the plus side, I like the plotline of Thorne being neighbors with Macy and Grant, and we’ve finally been introduced to the SORASed Rick/Amber/CJ crowd. The Stephanie/James/Sheila triangle is also starting, and it makes me excited (I remember seeing some if it in my childhood). I know Sheila, Grant, and James are all leaving soon, which I honestly kind of dread - between them and Clarke’s near-absence, it feels like herd is going to get culled too much in the near future. But I know there’s the familiar 1999-2002 to look forward to.
    • LOL - this is a perfect description, and that's what I loved about it! May be a bit campy, but it immediately caught my attention in a good way.  I'm not familiar with the Fishing Trip storyline, I'll have to look that up. I've noticed that about Josh, which has made him less attractive to me overall. He just yells a lot when he's not happy. Wow, Reva was married to HB!  LOL - "Always... eventually, and again"
    • I love your ideas. I would love to see Jack grown up this confused unhinged individual. He should hold a grudge against both Brooke and Taylor.

    • Lois's return has been a bust. So disappointing that the writers have never written for her. As with Tracy, the pool of GH vets is so thin, there's no one to pair her with. Doubtful they would go to the trouble of properly recasting a legacy character and then sticking  him with Lois; they're obviously not that invested. If she wants to be on this show, it'll be as a noisy grandma who stays in the background. 
    • I love me some Anita and TT. They need to give her a good storyline and I know that it's coming. 
    • @Franko Thanks for tagging me. A few days ago I was talking in another thread about the rise of "snarky" critics for TV shows in the '90s online recaps, but this is just more along the lines of a mauling. There's also the unspoken reality that films like Steel Magnolias were seen as movies for women, so therefore they sucked. Pauline Kael also had her share of blunt, at times incredibly nasty remarks, but the vitriol is often balanced by her love for film. I'm not seeing that here.  With that said, the comment about Field's work becoming unbearable describes how I felt when I tried to sit through her and Maura Tierney on ER. 
    • I skipped most of Daniel too. I think it's awful he has kids with Nicole, Csrky5 and Chloe and Brady, Bo and Philip do not.
