Days: End of Nov Spoilers

[JackPeyton]

Today i was visiting a friend at the supermarket. We were in the back when i spotted the soptted the soap mags so i flipped through them and man, oh man!...

Johnny goes missing and Bo/Hope find the body if a boy. It is reported by the news to be Johnny and Sami and EJ are together when they see it. She has pulled away from Rafe and blames him because she didnt want to go see John out of fear of something like that. Well, Sami and EJ start fighting, beat eachother up, then end up sleeping together. Sweeney is very good when talking about it, oretty much says this isnt romantic, and sami is doing it to feel anything but the pain. She wants to be numb. The writers state the same thing. Well... ya know that scene where Sami walks in on marlena and john? Will walks in on this and he goes off. The new writers say that Will essentally becomes to Sami what Sami was to Marlena and there is some shocking stuff coming up with him. They also state he is still going to be gay and he will be coming out sooner rather than later (I think in feb actually, but i think he tells some others before)

Bo/Hope relive losing Zach through this and talk about their issues. Marlena feels gulty because Sami didnt want to come and she pressured her into bringing the kids. EJ feels guilty because he set John up. No word on what actually has happened with Johnny tho.

Honestly, this sounds interesting and the scenes looked good in the promo. I will give this a shot. I like that they are honoring that moment that Sami saw john/mar now.

Just to be clear, they do NOT compare sami/ej to john/mar, just the situation of having an affair/sleeping together and a child walking in. its really worth a read if you can.

This sounds great, in description. I do feel that these writers are aiming for something specific -- and maybe now that the really heavyhanded, kinda slow setup is over, we'll be getting to that. I've been pleasantly surprised by both the Jack/Jen scenes (which I feared would be them reverting to the played-out dynamic from JER 2.0) and the EJ/Nicole fallout (which I was worried would be a giant pointless retread, but instead, it's giving Nicole a voice).

[JackPeyton]

The fact that this is being touted as much about the impact it was on Will as it is about them sleeping together is what appeals to me the most.

[DRW50]

I think if they're going to do this they should just put EJ and Sami together permanently, because it seems like their stories always go back to this same note.

Poor Johnny. He's always in danger.

[dragonflies]

So sick of Sami being whored out for her rapist........

[ER Tosh]

So Will is going to turn into 90's Sami?

[DRW50]

The biggest difference is that Sami had the idea that her mother was a saint, and she idealized Roman and Marlena. Will doesn't feel that way about Sami, and Sami/Lucas have been split up for years. I'm not sure why this would have the same effect on him.

[JackPeyton]

I think people are taking it too literall.

It is a similar situation, with very different details.

Will hates EJ and would be pissed about this. He loved rafe and knows he is good for Sami. He has seen all this bull [!@#$%^&*] he has put her through over the years and played a pretty big role in her shooting him last year. I totally think he would blow up. Will eh may not have a sainted view of his mother he had bought into her i have changed act of recent years. I also feel like a lot of pent up issues he has with her from his entire life may come out.

So Sami and EJ deal with their son being missing by having sex? That's beyond gross and it looks like I am done with Days for good. I was watching for a while when the reboot started but I got behind and was planning to catch up. Looks like now I don't have to. Hopefully, this sinks Days ratings even lower.

[quartermainefan]

This sounds horrible. Let me see, Sami, EJ, Nicole, some Sami child in peril..when have I seen this crap before? Oh yeah, five minutes ago. And for this they needed to switch writers why again? And lets see if we can figure this out: One day down the road Sami will discover EJ set the whole thing in motion and yell a lot, and everyone will be mad at EJ and Stefano will disown him and say his only son is Chad, and maybe for a twist EJ can lose all access to his kids and Nicole will be there too saying she loves Johnny like he was her own.

And people resent John and Marlena for being a retread?

[Darn]

They actually think he's dead. Alison Sweeny actually had to reconcile the idea with having sex while thinking your child is dead with her own thoughts as a parent, she said it's the hardest thing she's ever had to do.

Sooooo tired of grief sex. But the fallout could be interesting.

[Ryan Chamberlain]

This sounds good. I've been trying to get into Days and I've found it rather bland. But, hopefully this will be the action I've been wanting to see.

[darraholic]

All these random sex hook ups on DAYS they should do an STD outbreak for sweeps.

[JackPeyton]

Honestly, if you can - even if you are interested in this, in fact esp if you are against this - read the interview/tease/set up in SOD.

Sweeney delivered in that interview. be it spin, her honest view point, or whatever. It is a facinating read, esp when as Khan Darn said, she talks about how hard it was go from that place of losing a child and turning it into a sex scene. And the way she describes the final fight with Sami & Rafe sounds like it has some power behind it.

It also slightly teases Will after it and Bo/Hope dealing with Zach.

[Khan]

I did?
