OK I loved loved loved the EJ and Sami and EJ/Tony and Sami/Hope scenes today.

Oh if DOOL is teasing me with these scenes of their delectable bickerflirting but isn't actually planning to let EJ and Sami have this marriage of convenience I am going to have go Trandre and/or Clowndre on their asses. The scene with Sami mopping over his feet and making the crack about Santo pushing their beds together and warning him that he will wish he was dead once he is married to her, while at the same time Sami is being so clearly in denial about her feelings for EJ, just had me jumping for joy getting the chance to see the spunky spitfire Sami I know and love. And after once again we had flashes of the entitled, self-indulgent EJ who doesn't know when to quit and has no use for pretenses of propriety in already talking about sharing a bed with Sami yet finally to Tony admitted he's done things he's ashamed of and demonstrated that remorse with the promise that he would honor Sami's request that they lie to Stefano about the state of their marriage because he loves her and wants to make things easy on her... mmmmmm that's some soapy goodness. I will never get tired of seeing Sami bend EJ to her will. Oh and that kiss on the cheek and the look back as he exited the kitchen as they played the Santeen theme? *SWOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON*

The rest was kind of blah. Poor Lauren. Why was she so crazy again? If she wanted money then why did she run away when Phillip tried to give it to her? And why did she come back to Salem and why was she in the hospital? I just don't get it. Oh and the death scene... Ugh Phillip's comment right before she died of him thinking only of himself and how he wouldn't be able to find Tyler was so disgustingly selfish. I mean I know she's a woman so DOOL doesn't think anyone should have any compassion for her, but wow that whole thing was just so cold and I didn't think they could get colder than the reaction they had to Willow's death. At least in that instance you had someone blaming themselves for her death and a little sadness for her. But this case? It was just all about how her death affected them finding Tyler? And on a random note... I wish they could show Brandon Beemer shirtless in scenes besides him being on his back in a hospital bed. Because that rack is just distracting. Seriously.

p.s. Files "under the wheels of the DiMera killing machine" and Sami's comments about how she'll not be able to forgive herself if one more person dies in my memory bank.

Great catch on the "under the wheels of the DiMera killing machine" and Sami's comments about how she'll not be able to forgive herself if one more person dies in my memory bank."!! :D

I loved the scenes with Sami/EJ, Sami/Hope, and EJ/Tony too. I really like how EJ is able to bounce ideas off of Tony and express how he's feeling and why. I realize they're not biological brothers, but Tony understands the DiMeras better than anyone else, and seeing them interact as brothers feels natural and is very positive. I don't think EJ could express his doubts to Sami, and even if he could that older brother thing is great. The kiss on the cheek was very moving (and Sami not moving away or smacking him was a positive). Didn't mind Sami thinking about her and EJ - that kind of flashback works good for me since it has a purpose. Good interaction with all involved in those scenes. And I adore the back and forth between EJ and Sami, and agree with EJs confirmation that he knows Sami better than she knows herself: they've been showing that for months. I also love the fact he can make a point and have a conversation without ranting and raving, and that Sami acts like herself when she's around him. (as in the Sami I've loved for years)

Could have done without Laurens fall and the scenes with her and Phillip before they moved her upstairs. The stunt work, filming, effects etc were well done - just not what I needed or wanted to see. So I distracted myself by looking at Phillips tank top and those dimples...

as one of the biggest sami brady fans all i ahve to say is its about time!!

her scene with hope is what ive been waiting for for years now. i loved it when she said who would thought her - the troublemaker of salme - would be doing this. she has come so far and alison sweeney is always so spot on. i love her and ej because now that she has changed and grown here is this man who loves her for the person she is and has been and will be.

wow. i NEVER thought id ever like hope but these past few weeks she has become one of my faves.

the kiss on the cheek was perfect.

If there was anything tender and loving about EJ, he would tell his father to buzz off and leave Sami alone. If he had a moral fiber, he would never try to separate a married woman from her husband and her having his (her husbands) babies at that. EJ is bad to the bone. Obviously, I strongly disagree with those who think he is fine. Any man I can root for has to be a good person. This EJ character is purely a sociopath.

Philip was so tender with Lauren. It breaks my heart that the writers killed her off instead of pairing those two. They would have worked so well together. I loved the way Philip was consoling her and telling her that he knew she loved Tyler and that she took good care of him. I loved how he held her hand and she clung to him and kept eye contact with him. I loved the way he told her he was staying right there with her and he did. He was very sad she died. He knew the things he wanted to know about Tyler were in her and wanted to hear those things from her. Of course, he wants his son. That is human nature and a total given. To be otherwise would have been pure fiction. He will most likely see to her funeral arrangements. Maybe we get to see Philip and Tyler at her funeral.

LMAO! Sorry no disrespect intended, but the thought of anyone telling Stefano DiMera what to do is hysterical! And to think he would actually respect EJ's wishes... well the chances of that would be about zero.

Stefano made it clear, earlier this summer, what the conditions to ending the vendetta were and Sami laughed in his face (as EJ pointed out after Sami shot lucas in the leg). And so the DiMeras continued to target the Bradys. Later in the limo, when he met with EJ and Sami, he acknowledged (again) what the terms to ending the violence were. As in Stefano has been willing to end the vendetta only when/if HIS terms were met. So EJ could tell him to "buzz off and leave Sami alone" until he was blue in the face and Stefano would do whatever Stefano wanted to do -- and there's been nothing to indicate that would mean complying with EJ's request (demands or whatever). EJ's made it clear (to Stefano) that he wants the vendetta to end, and because of this, Stefano lost trust in him and ordered Andre to teach him a lesson. Main point being no one tells Stefano what to do, not even his children.

    • I feel like the lawsuit storyline was resolved quickly because the show didn’t want to spring for more sets.
    • It's been a while, but we have seen the foyer to Bill and Hayley's house as well as the exterior entrance to their house. The foyer was first seen in the premiere episode when Hayley met Vanessa at the house.
    • There's still a year or two before Larkin arrives. Joel is there already. EON does noticeably youthify, although I think they carry it off. Admittedly I haven't seen most of the Jody stories, which from what people here have said aren't great.
    • I don't mind the actor who plays Brian. He's fine. The problem for me is that Paige seems so wishy wishy. She doesn't seem to have much of a personality at this point so I don't see why Brian would be so besotted with her. She just lurches from one trauma to the next. Granted, it's only been a month, but she's not as vibrant as April or even Deborah who has had minimal screen time by this point.  I do worry about the influence of GH on the show since I'm in fall of 1979 and characters have conversations and there's not the drive to "youthify" the show. However, I think Marceau (sp?) is gone. He was given a rather tame sendoff. How long was the actor on the show? I hope this is not a sign of things to come. I worry the show is setting up a murder mystery around one of my favorite characters and I will be mightily annoyed. I also noticed in recent Search for Tomorrow episodes uploaded to YT that the actors playing Logan and Eliot showed up. I don't watch the show but they were in the screencaps. When does Larkin Malloy show up or has he already left? Joel Crothers hasn't shown up either unless I've blinked and missed him.
    • Dr Linden. She treated Vanessa's drug addiction (although Vanessa seemed to forget that by Henry's suicide attempt) , and she's mentioned during Reva's PPD. Although I can't recall if she's actually shown right off the top of my head. She probably was temporarily shelved when Sonni was a therapist (between her crazy times) And I think Billy sees her after he falls off the wagon after Reva's death.
    • Kinda agree. I have some issues with the sets. Nicole's living room is bland-looks like a display home. Bill and Hayley's is too small and basically hideous. And neither of them have a front door/entrance or staircase. People just appear from the corridor. Those green accents  at Uptown are way too much. Also,Naomi and Vanessa not having an office or a home .
    • Thanks @Paul Raven  That Grainger story always reads like hog-wild melodrama, not very similar to the more subtle stories for Rita in her last few years. I wonder how Lenore played the material.
    • More from 1976 Lynn, apparently making every effort to overcome her alcoholism, accepts a baby-sitting job. However, when the baby starts crying, Lynn begins to get nervous and takes one drink, then another. By the time Bruce and Van arrive home, Lynn is on the floor, ineffectually trying to find the doctor’s number, sure the baby is ill. When the mother arrives; she vows to let everyone know what goes on in the mayor’s house.Bruce insists that Lynn has to go, but Van, learning that Lynn can’t remember drinking the cooking sherry, calls Joe to report Lynn’s blackouts. Joe wants her institutionalized but gives in to Van’ s pleas that Lynn needs loving attention. Eddie has sent some of Felicia’s work to a New |York gallery owner and reports to Charles that Lisa Cooper wants to exhibit Felicia’s work. Charles refuses to tell her this and later admits he feels he has “cowed”her attention because of his being confined to a wheelchair. What Charles doesn’t say is: that he’s plagued with fears she’ll leave him for another man. Felicia is exuberant as she starts painting again. She tells Charles how she feels about it, but, jealous of anyone or anything that takes attention from him, Charles tries to undermine her confidence. Eddie finally professes his love for her. He will be happy to step forward if she will only let Be and admit that they belong together. Charles tries to stop Felicia’s ‘trip to New York by making her doubt her own work, and when that fails, he finds business reasons at his bookshop to keep Di, his ex-wife, who is running it for him, from accompanying her. Felicia finally decides it’s not going to work and tells Eddie they might as well call it off. Instead, he arranges for Lisa Cooper to come to Rosehill. Charles is rude and insulting to Lisa when she arrives at the house to view Felicia’s work, and his derogatory remarks about shady gallery dealings prompt Lisa to tell Eddie that living in such an atmosphere could permanently stunt an artist’s development; if Felicia is subjected to this indefinitely, it’s not even worth Lisa’s while to take her on as a client. Felicia finally decides she can’t be torn apart any longer and must accede to Charles’s demands. She tells Eddie her career is over and she won’t paint any more, breaks down in his arms, crying bitterly, then pulls away, unwilling to acknowledge that her feelings for him are deeper than she dare face. Charles is delighted when she prepares to dispose of her art supplies, insisting everything will be fine once she has accepted that this part of her life is over. But she cannot do it. She promises him that he can set the limits and terms, but she must paint. Arlene discovers that her mother is planning to avoid the surgery she needs, and the accompanying medical bills, by leaving Rosehill and moving in with her sister Dorothy out west. Arlene manages to prevent this by calling her aunt and telling her the truth about Carrie’s condition. Dr. Tom Crawford has been footing the costs of Carrie’s presurgery tests, but Arlene knows that Carrie won’t like this. So she tells Carrie that David Hart, the son of Meg’s late husband, the former mayor, has heard about their plight and forwarded the money as a gesture of friendship, to be repaid when possible. To convince Carrie that she does indeed have the money, Arlene asks Ray to just lend it to her for a few hours, so she can convince Carrie and then immediately return it. Ray instructs her to get dressed for a night on the town and takes her, out implying that the money will be waiting at the end of the evening. When Ian Russell happens to join them, Arlene doesn’t suspect anything is afoot, but when e Ray suddenly leaves, she becomes furious, realizing what he’s done. But she finds Mr: Russell a distinguished and cultured man, and decides there’s no harm in having a drink. After cocktails and stimulating conversation, Ian suggests that they go to his place, and Arlene agrees. But when they get there, Ian matter of factly suggests that they skip the preliminaries and get on with it. Ian is embarrassed and annoyed to discover that Arlene is not a professional call girl and that Ray didn’t explain to her the purpose of their |meeting. He is apologetic and solicitous, until Arlene, explaining why Ray felt he could pull this on her, mentions her sick mother in need of an operation. Ian starts to laugh at this overworked standard line, and a livid Arlene storms out of his apartment. Thinking it over, Ian decides he’s more intrigued with Arlene than he is annoyed at Ray, and calls Ray for her telephone number. But Arlene is not delighted to hear from him, and he has to use a good deal of soothing charm before she agrees to have dinner with him at one of the better local restaurants.During dinner Ian again apologizes for his mistake, and he gives Arlene a diamond pendant as a token of his gratitude for her forgiving him. Ray arrives to interrupt an otherwise enjoyable evening with a business matter, and quietly reminds Arlene that Ian is his customer and she’s not to cut herself in with him. At home, Arlene examines the pendant and is convinced that it’s genuine. She hides it in her dresser drawer, unable to bring herself to show it to her mother.
    • LOL!! That's funny.  I actually thought he got a little better.
