DAYS: Tuesday September 4

He definitely did something similar on As the World turns with Craig and Jack and Carly. there was no rape, but he played with Craig doing these awful things (ending with possibily setting the wife he married for money on fire), all the while toying with the audience that Craig and Carly would be the long-term couple and he was going to break up Jack and Carly for good. Only at the end of the 18-month long story (which was actually about three different stories back to back that centered around the triangle: Craig and Winston Lowe, then Jack's wife going crazy/Bryant's Death/Craig and Carly sleeping together in NYC... and then the spa story, which reunited Jack and Carly in the end), did we realize it was a Jack and Carly story all along... even though for about nine months, it definitely felt like a Craig/Carly story.

One of Hogan's writers from that show who is on Days now even said it in an interview in SOD recently - that he saw similarities between the two. Although I don't know if that means it'll be a Lucas/Sami story in the end, or an EJ/Sami story. But he is known for writing VERY long-term umbrella stories.

TY I greatly appreciate the insight. Amazing actually...
