Days: Friday, November 9th

[Roman]

What a wedding day. Discuss.

[Shawn]

I can't wait to see EJ all shot and bloody. I'll be as giddy as a schoolgirl

When I saw all those guns being drawn from various locations, I was like oooh, I can't wait for EJ to go down.... I can't wait:D

Great Day and now Ejami story begins!

I am in the middle of watching on soapnet right now. Pretty good episode so far. The shooting was really good and I liked Lucas going home and considering taking a drink. But I am really convinced that bullet wasn't meant for EJ, right before he was shot he had bent into kiss sami and she moved and he was in the place she had been. Hopefully, this will continue to be as good as it started.

That would be a good twist and would rule out the main suspects (including Marlena). As is, I think everything was well done and was impressed with both Ali and JM - especially in the post shooting church scenes. Sami looked and acted like someone in shock and Stefano showing a father's love and concern was moving.

Now if lucas would have held his gun to his head and pulled the trigger when Bo and Shawn were at the door it would have been perfect (no, he wouldn't have to die). It would have seriously upped the shock element and entertainment value. - for me anyway.

I think Sami and EJ were both meant to be the victims. Either that or we had people out for different things. Perhaps most were out for EJ and one was out for Sami. We'll see. I still think and hope the lady in black was Marlena.

I loved this episode.

Nice Bo/Shawn scenes. I love these two together and good to see Shawn taking responsibility and trying to improve and impress.

The Belle/Philip stuff wasn't bad. Claire was so cute and she is talking so well. The accident was sad and I loved the slow motion there. Martha and the twins that play Claire (how good were they!) were heartbreaking. That doctor in the ER annoyed me though. I wanted Claire to hit him or something. Good scenes though.

The shooting scenes were well-done. I noticed that when EJ moved to kiss Sami he kind of stepped in her way so maybe the person out to get Sami fired and EJ took that bullet and the other shooters out for EJ never fired. I am still trying to figure why they all waited until AFTER they were married, unless the justification was that Sami married him so she held her bargain and then someone tried to off EJ. The directing was solid. Joe and Ali were great. Ali shined with her reaction and Stefano's warnings to Sami concerning her family were chilling. I really loved the end scene where we saw Stefano just walk out and burst through the doors. Awesome. Good ending.

Seeing Lucas with Billie was good too. I'm confused about his gun. It doesn't look like he took it. Lucas thinking of taking a drink was a nice touch and was well played by Bryan. Loved the Kate/Philip scene. Intense and LK and JKJ played it well. Steve/Caroline was good too. I wonder how all this will fit together.

Monday looks like another good one. Really good way to cap the week.

Isn't the lady in Black the mystery woman that casting notes had as Caroline Bieklies (spelling?). She was supposed to start airing the 8th. Marlena had to of been there to though.

Maybe it's E.J.'s ex-fiancee, the real "Brandy Mathas." :-)

I think they used her so that they didn't have to use Dee. This same actress played Mother Superior during the Santeen story earlier this year and, by using her, Days also covers up that it's Marlena as the show can say they have another actress playing the lady in black. Also, the way the lady in black fiddled with her gloves, which Marlena always does, and the fact that the gloves were black (she always wears black gloves....she wore then during John's hit and run and she always tends to wear them when something bad happens....she wore them alot during the SSK story too) tells me it's her. Plus, Marlena had a line to hope at the Pub where she said she was praying for strength to do what she has to do to EJ and Stefano and EJ discussed in the church how every church has a woman praying like that around. I thought that may be a hint too and the fact the woman was praying suggested to me it was Marlena praying for forgiveness an strength for what she was about to do. Let's also remember the title of the interview she did for CDN TV Guide..."The Black Widow Speaks." Lady in Black and black widow....sounds like a hint to me. It would be ironic too since John's last name was "Black."
