I'm still trying to watch the show, but it's hard to watch it with EJ's baby screaming like that! Good Lord! That little tike is quite the screamer! Thank goodness I'm not a parent because otherwise, I'd have Social Services on my ass.

Granted, I missed the middle. But a lot of it seemed like filler. The Bo/Hope scenes were just circular, and although I love Tony and Anna, it just seemed like two actors trying to make much ado about nothing.

I did like Lucas and Sami's good-bye (although it reminded me a lot of Todd's goodbye on OLTL, when he was going to jail for Margaret's murder. But I'm sure that's just a coincidence. *snicker)

And gee - ya think Victor will somehow save Bo's life. I see Jessica Buchanan's kidney all over again.

Maybe I'm looking too deeply into all of this. I need to take a break. My head hurts. :-)

Aren't EJ/Sami suppose to be in a safe house? How safe is it if people keep going up there? LOL

I liked the Sami/Lucas goodbye scenes too (didn't they have one last week??? LOL). Good or bad, they have 15 years of history. I kinda wanted a montage. :(

There was a lot of filler in this episode. I think they maybe even made the babies cry on purpose just so EJ and Tony wouldn't need dialogue. ;)

Not being a Lumi fan, I thought those scenes were excruciating. Too many good-byes between these two; just cart him off to prison! They are clearly paving the way for his speedy return, with the talk of early release and prison overcrowding, but whatever break we get will be nice. IMO, they need to use this time to overhaul his character and figure out a purpose for Lucas besides him hanging out with Sami. Given the behind the scenes drama with the writing team, I doubt that will happen.

The Bo/Hope scene was very strange. Bo has been married long enough to know that you don't tell a woman you have a huge, important secret and then not tell her what it is. If I was Hope, that would drive me crazy! My mind would conjure up all kinds of horrible scenarios involving everyone I knew and loved, and I would worry myself sick over it. Another strange conversation was the Marlena call to Sami. It seemed kind of random for her to place a transatlantic phone call just to tell Sami she believed two dead people were enjoying the afterlife together.

This episode was obviously just killing time, waiting for the adventure to kick off later in the week.

Well, there were guards outside the safehouse so it is still being protected. People can still come and see them.

The writing for Tony is a bit off. I don't mind him not wanting kids but the way he so much as refused to even go near them was a bit much.

Anyway, this episode wasn't too bad. Lumi's scene was ok but we've seen this like 3 times in the last month. Ali and Bryan were good and Sami did seem to show how much she softened toward EJ but I didn't really care. Too much rehash and I am glad for the break from Lucas. I thought we would be in the midst of that by now but we are now so moving on...

EJ, Tony, and Anna were awesome other then the little Tony complain I mentioned. Hilarious stuff. Love tough Anna and Tony digging a bigger hole for himself. These two handle romantic comedy so well and loved EJ's reaction. EJ with the babies (who are adorable) was so cute. His redemption is happening at a nice pace. I am enjoying it and like seeing Tony and EJ interact with Anna tossed in.

The plane stuff was pretty good. The Ava stuff is so mysterious and suspenseful. Loved the shot of her watching the plane take off and the tension already building for Steve and Kayla. Bo and Hope's talk was nice and true to them as a couple. I am glad Bo is already on the road to telling her and all the mentions of Hope not eating and being tired...this illness thing is really intriguing. Loved John the !@#$%^&*] and his admitting he saw Santeen. His line about seeing nothing but green was funny too. I like that Marlena told Shawn Sr about what John saw. It provided a comfort and seeing Kayla, Steve (love him calling him Papa Brady), Marlena, Bo, and Hope all with Shawn Sr, caring and talking to him was so sad knowing what is about to happen. Nice seeing Belle, Shawn, and Claire too. Cute and Phloe were hot. So much chemistry and that end scene was pretty good for setting up future story.

That ending was very good. The way the plane jolted at the end actually jolted me laugh.gif. Very realistic and love the outdoor plane shots. John did seem like he wasn't shocked by anything and he was on the phone an awful lot. Perhaps he was talking to more then the captain. He was awful anxious to take off too and considering the images he saw during the brainwashing, I wonder if this could be his doing. His "uh oh" line at the end is suspicious too IMO.

Good show to start out what should be an exciting week.

Oh lawdy, the dialogue was stinky today.

The only part of the show that I really enjoyed were the Tony/EJ/Anna scenes. The three of them work well together. And no, there wasn't a lot of dialogue but at least the scenes had some movement and entertainment value unlike the rest of the show.

The rest -- kinda dullsville except for John, a character I used to hate but now absolutely adore. He looks at everyone with such disdain and he's firing off those smart remarks so well. :lol:

The conversation between Bo and Hope was especially trying. "I wanna tell you something, but I can't, but I will, but I won't, just trust me OK?" OK, whatever.

Sami and Lucas. I tried to muster up some sympathy for them but all I wanted them to do was speed it up and say goodbye already! And when Lucas said to Sami something like "I'm going to prison to keep me from doing something dumb," I thought what kind of sense does that make? It doesn't! :lol: And then for Lucas to mention to Sami not to trust EJ. Why did you mention him at all doofus? That's why your arse is going to jail -- 'cause you're a dummy! Adios Lucas. Two months is not long enough.

I hope the dialogue improves soon. :huh:

Not my favorite episode for sure but I managed to watch mainly compliments of EJ/JS. The EJ/babies/Tony/Anna scenes were the ones I liked best but Tony seemed totally off. The last time he acted like himself was when he met with EJ at the church before leaving for Europe, but it's getting worse. I adore TP and I know it's nothing he's doing -- meaning it's the writing and I won't be happy if they screw up a character that was *Finally* fixed after years of being written plain wrong. At the rate this is going I wouldn't be surprised if someone decides it would be smart to make him Stefano's biological son again - and that sooo would Not work!! :angry:

Anyway felt terrible for James Scott having to experience the one baby crying makes any others in the room cry too thing. He did great but I'm sure all three (adults) had headaches after the scenes were finished. Loved the patience EJ showed and his good natured banter and bribing. I loved bad EJ, but I'm loving this version too -- and I totally appreciate that EJ is one of the most layered characters currently on the show.

Which brings up a non-layered character -- why isn't lucas gone already or instead of having a dozen goodbye scenes couldn't they just have shown more John? I'm sure this new and improved John could have filled up that airtime with some fantastic zaps that would have brought glares from everyone on the plane. I'm seriously liking John now :) And I'm still soooo not caring what lucas does as long as it's not on screen. And hearing him tell Sami it's her fault over and over sure doesn't make me want him to stay around. And I'd rather hear the babies cry than Sami - and the fact she's blubbering over the self proclaimed idiot just makes it (and her) more annoying.

Pretty much a boring episode, but it could have been worse.

Currently, I'm on a DAYS viewer strike. While the WGA strike is over, I can go on strike as Dena's DAYS is on the air.

This is about the second time I when on a viewer strike since JER 2nd tenure on days and monday's episode was so off that I thought that I was watching OLTL with CBS production values; it just didn't have that Days feel like a couple of months ago.

I feel bad for the vets who have to deal with the writing they have to read through and the backstage problems that is going on right now.

In my opinion, Feb sweeps '08 isn't a big importance for Ken; he's more concern with march being possbility the most crucial month in tha show history and that's where I be more scare with because we don't know what the hell is going to be written in that month or who could added to the writing team (JER maybe?) or who will be fired for May sweeps or Jul sweeps.

I hope that monday show don't become the norm for DAYS or else a 1.7 is a good number for them.

This episode was awful. Not at all the same show that was on last Thursday. This was a constant stream of horrible soap cliches and missed opportunities. Unless I missed an episode, why on EARTH did they not have a scene with Sami finding out that Colleen wasn't dead? Or Roman, EJ, Caroline, Lucas, Doug, Julie, etc. for that matter? Instead, they show *Lexie* hearing the news last week? Dumb. Maybe even worse than not having a scene where Kayla finds out Benjy's dead. What is this garbage, and where did my good Days go already?

    • Concluding 1976... Raymond Schafer arrives in Springfield and begins an extensive probe into Malcolm’s death, puzzling Ed, who wonders why most of Schafer’s question sessions keep turning back to Rita’s involvement with Malcolm. Ed assures the man that Rita’s only connection with Malcolm was as his nurse; he is unaware that Schafer knows a great deal more about Rita than he does. Just to protect Rita, Ed has Mike check on Schafer’s credentials, and learns that he’s a  well-respected criminal attorney. The waitress at the restaurant where Malcolm suffered his stroke tells Schafer that the woman who was with him reacted very professionally to the sudden emergency, as if she were a nurse. Realizing that her little sister has fallen hard for Tim, Rita warns him that she’s very vulnerable and innocent, but Tim tells Rita her advice isn’t necessary. But Tim then receives a plum job offer to be chief neurological resident at a prestigious Philadelphia hospital and can’t pass up the opportunity. Evie is crushed by the news and spends the next several days at home crying. Joe Werner, fully recovered, has accepted a post as a medical aide in a destitute village in India and leaves alone, with Sarah to follow him later. Justin asks Sarah to consider a partnership with him in private practice, but she explains that she thrives on the hospital atmosphere. When a call comes from India that Joe has had another massive attack, Sarah leaves on the next available flight and arrives only moments before he dies. The painful news is relayed back to Cedars at once. Sara returns from India a heartbroken woman, but the day-to-day involvement of raising T.J. and of her career seem to be her salvation. Justin shows a surprisingly compassionate and understanding side to Sara, but, ironically, Justin’s ex-wife, Jackie, arrives in Springfield with her diabetic father, who is suffering from a heart attack. In the process of consulting with Justin on her father’s condition, Jackie comes face to face with Sara for the first time since their college days. Evie’s heartbreak at Tim’s departure turns to fury and hatred when she inadvertently discovers a letter which Tim wrote to Rita just after he left. In it he concedes that Rita was right about Evie’s vulnerability where he was concerned but reminds Rita that he badly hurt her in the same way she feared Evie would suffer. Evie is now sure that Rita somehow forced Tim to leave town and is livid at the idea that Tim was Rita’s lover. She insists she’s cutting off her relationship with Rita and will pay her back for any help she’s received in the past. Ben and Hope’s wedding plans are off, as Ben, while still insisting he’s innocent, won’t explain why the robbery evidence points to him. Hope feels his unwillingness to tell her the truth makes marriage to him impossible, but confides to Ann that she is miserable without him. Ben has echoed these sentiments to Mike but won’t confide in him, either as Hope’s father or as an attorney.   Holly is trying very hard to build a life without Ed, but since she sees him virtually every day at work,she’s unable to put him out of her mind. She accepts a date with a member of the hospital administration staff but is unable to avoid making comparisons between Ed and this young man and winds up alone, sadly holding Ed’s picture and recalling how much she loves him. Believing that the hospital board’s conclusions on Grainger’s death have settled the question once and for all, Rita has regained her self-confidence, and her romance with Ed is growing daily. They admit their love for each other, and Ed confides that he intentionally  held back with Rita for fear of making another mistake. Rita then tells Ed she has never married because for her marriage must be forever. Rita’s mother realizes that Rita is truly in love when she confides in her that she doesn’t understand why she’s been so lucky in having him love her and how she wants to be the very best person she can be for him. Ed proposes marriage to Rita and gives her time to think about it before answering. Rita painfully realizes that her past could, if it rose again against her, make a life with Ed a lost dream. But Raymond Shaefer has been quietly but efficiently carrying on his investigation and has learned that Grainger argued with Rita at her apartment. He presents the evidence he’s compiled to District Attorney Eric Van Gelder, who decides the case warrants further investigation. Rita goes to Ed’s office to tell him she loves him but can’t marry him, that she doesn’t deserve him and “can’t do it to him.” As she turns from a confused Ed to leave, she finds the district attorney and a police officer outside Ed’s door, waiting to arrest her. Ed, insisting that a serious mistake has been made, calls Mike to help her as Rita, shocked and humiliated, is taken under arrest through the hallways of the hospital in which she works. Mike manages Rita’s release on bail only after she has had to submit to the degrading booking procedure. Mike sees her alone at her apartment, explaining he can help her only if she tells him the whole truth. Rita equivocates until Mike mentions Texas, indicating to Rita that he knows at least some of the story. Van Gelder has, in fact, let Mike see the bulk of evidence in the case against Rita, to convince him her arrest wasn’t a capricious whim. Rita explains to Mike that Malcolm believed she intentionally vilified him to his father, to do him out of his rightful inheritance, and then wanted his father dead to collect her money. Mike expresses his appreciation of Rita’s honesty, promising to help her. But Rita’s tormented dreams confirm that she hasn’t yet told all the truth, and after Peggy visits, expressing firm support, Rita tells Roger she has to reveal his part in the story. Roger painfully tells Rita about his being Christina’s father to show her that if Ed knew, it would end Rita’s chances with him forever. Rita, who was ready to tell Ed the whole story, now realizes how risky that would be. Adding to Rita’s pain is her forced leave of absence from the hospital until she’s cleared and the embarrassment of seeing her name in the headlines.

    • Yes, but the stories are all pretty awful Seeing Victor rehashing his hatred of the Abbotts  when he married one of them and has a daughter that is half Abbott as well as walking around with Traci's daughter's heart keeping him alive makes him look worse than he already is. And I remember he and Jack chatting amicably in the past few years. Victor interfering in Kyle/Claire is just repeat of Billy/Victoria. Sharon, Nick,Phyllis etc are around but again the stories are lacking.
    • I think Kevin's 1996 Emmy was fair enough. He barely appeared for his second. I don't think anyone else on the list is that deserving but I might have gone with Moore as he did try with the whole Keesha AIDS story. @alwaysAMC Thanks to slick jones' cast list I was able to see that Nikki Rene played Tina. Not much on her, as you mentioned. Tap and a few Broadway listings (it doesn't help that a younger actress with a similar name is in a lot of roles).

    • Thank you. That does ring a bell. I remember Theresa and Julian's drunk, giggly fake wedding (with Julian asking "Whassup?" to the minister). Was Bruce tricking the pair as a prank, or did somebody put him up to it? I especially liked Katherine recalling how dashing young Alistair was when he'd pick up Rachel for dates, and how she wished she could be her sister, then feeling guilty once Rachel had her boating accident ...
    • And Kevin Mambo beat Shemar Moore for those two Emmys. I chalk up the wins to the voters not wanting Jonathan Jackson to eventually end up with a five peat (he won 1995, 1998, 1999). These were the 1996 and 1997 Younger Actor races. 1996: Nathan Fillion, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow 1997: Steve Burton, Jonathan Jackson, Kevin Mambo (winner), Shemar Moore, Joshua Morrow

    • Today's episode was excellent. Clearly it was confrontation day and they didn't disappoint. I'm glad they didn't forget Mona in all of this and gave us an opportunity to see how she's dealing with this. A major highlight for me were the Kat and Martin scenes. Their chemistry is off the charts and I don't understand why we haven't gotten more of this. I love how they take turns calming each other down. They feel really well matched and believable as siblings. Speaking of siblings, they anvils were dropping strong that Kat and Eva are twins but I do wish someone would mention that they are essentially hood twins which might throw people off the scent.  I'm one of the people who enjoyed Joey and the gambling storyline so it was nice to see him again. It was nice to see different characters like Mona and Eva in that element instead of the usual players. When Doug arrived I don't know what hit me but I just see a funeral in his future. He seems so hopeless and has the worst luck. I just can't see him surviving the year at this rate.
