I don't think this Sami is a Stepford Wife. Yes she does do the annoying baby talk stuff with Rafe sometimes but I don't see her as being like the endlessly weeping, distraught Sami of 2007.

I think the whole "This child should be like this parent," should only go so far. Otherwise the show just ends up repeating stories. Like when they kept trying to tell us that EJ/Sami was like Marlena/Stefano, which I thought did a disservice to all the characters.

I just hope Will has a personality and some drive now. This is one of those characters who tends to just sort of...be there.

Finally some good news!!! Maybe Mia's acting will improve now......

I don't think Patton is that bad. I mean I've felt underwhelmed by him but I like the low-keyness. The worst Will had to be the kid who played Will before Gerse took the role, you know the one who beat up Abby! God that kid was annoying. Gerse remains my favorite Will, he was perfect as JER made Will into a tragic and innocent kid sad puppy eyes and all.

Woohoo. I couldn't stand Dylan Patton as Will. His hair really annoyed me too.

The biggest problem with Will is the writing. Will should be a punk ass kid with tons of problems.

Well it's about damn time. That kids acting was horrible(haircut was even worse).

Gee too bad they didn't realize this guy couldn't act before we had to endure him for the last year. It sucks too, because Dylan IMO sure looked like he could be Lucas and Sami's bambino.

Yes she's grown and changed into a stepford wife IMPOSTER!!!

She is far from that. Sami of 2007, Sami under Hogan... that sami was a stepford wife imposter. They may as well have written Sami off and hired Sweeney to play Carrie.

Sami is now a mother of three little kids, plus a teen. She has been through a lot and after over 15 years of scheming, plotting, manipulating, lying, and playing the spoiled brat card she has finally grown up, learned from her mistakes, and changed. I am so happy about that too because while it was fun to watch her in the 90's-early 00's at some point it became tired and boring. Not only that, but everything she did never got her anywhere. I like to see characters grow and change. I also think they have done a good job of keeping some of her sami traits in her, she just doesn't use them 24/7. Her constant battles with Stefano show her bitchy side. Her recent fights with brady and nicole show that while hurt and angry she also understands. A little compassion went a long way with her and actually made the fallout that much better.

Sami also has done that with the men before... Lucas, Austin, Brandon, Franco. Its not like shes been some great icy evil vixen. She was great fun to watch, but none of her plans ever worked out. It never got her anywhere. I agree she isnt a stepford wife...funny you mention 2007 sami, that was the worst.

I also agree with you on the child doesnt have to be like the parent, but Will is one of those kids that if he was like sami i think would be perfect. Mostly because it would create an interesting dynamic between them to where she understands what hes doing and why, but as his mother and learned from her own mistakes knows it isnt going to help him. But at the same time this do good guy is very much a kid that was raised by Carrie and Austin.

But the main issue is the writing. Your right he has no personality, no drive, no nothing. He is just there.

Gerse... oh man, he was baddddddd. The little kid before him was ok i thought.

I still think the show messed up by not making Will the one who shot EJ and Lucas just took the fall for him.

I wouldn't mind a story where Sami becomes close to Chad, since she sees some of her personality in him, and Will starts to lash out.

I love Sami/Chad scenes.

I cant really explain it, but Sweeney & Casey have a lot of chem together. Not in a romantic way. Not really in a family way. But she understands him, she can relate to him. I like it. I would love it if they expanded on that as a way to make Will lash out. I also wonder how this gabby/chad/mia/will thing is going to play out. I hope thye keep them on the amount they are right now tho. So far its been very c story, maybe b. its nice change from the teen takeovers we have had to take for the past decade now.

There's absolutely no way that wasn't the original plan. It was as obvious as the nose on my face. I'm still waiting for that to come out...

I didn't mind DP, the few times I saw him. Very dull, but not exactly wooden...like most guys his age that I know. His hair was better than Gerse's, though that's not saying much.

I thought Dylan Patton was a good Will. Kinda wish DAYS hadn't axed him, but Chandler Massey does look a lot more like Ali Sweeney(Sami), so he might be better. Massey also looks like a better match with Taylor Sprietler's Mia.

Oh Thank God. Dylan Patton acted more wooden than a porno star.

this new kid looks like Michael from GH
