Huh? Did you even watch the show lol? Marlena stood by Sami through all her [!@#$%^&*] and never blamed Sami unless she was directly hurting someone. And of course she'll tell her to stop doing it. She was RAPED A MAN, SWITCHED DNA RESULTS & BLACKMAILED people. She'd be a down right horrible mom if she encouraged that behavior.

Therapist's are human. They're not perfect.

Marlena has always shown love and support for Sami when warrented. Of course she's not going to support her daughter doing something illegal. I honestly don't know why you would expect that. And lets not forget when Sami was on death row. I didn't see Marlena scolding Sami. I remember her singing to her and comforting her.

When did Sami grow up? She hid her pregnancy to EJ, and shot EJ in the head. That sounds like an adult thing to do fo sure.

Did Marlena spend more time with John? Yeah. She could have spent more time with her children. But let's not forget her children are ADULTS. They're not children. There comes a time in your life when your parents get to live their lives and let their children live their lives and LET them make mistakes. Sami's main support system should be her husband. Of course with Sami's history she always finds a way to screw that up.

Right, poor innocent marlena. her daughters outcome in life has NOTHING to do with her. She showered with unconditional love and support and guided her down the right path in life. Thats really all im getting from you, and it couldnt be further from the truth.

No, i never watched the show a day in my life before

Nobody's asking Marlena to be perfect, but getting her child professional help when she clearly needs it and encouraging your adult child to when you notice she still has these deep issues would be a nice, motherly move for anyone, let alone a professional therapist.

Shown love... when warranted. And thats the issue, because Marlena clearly rarely thinks Sami is worthy of her love.

When did Sami gorw up? When marlena left town. When Sami knew she had to protect her baby from the dimeras this time around. When she choose to do so by lying and keeping it going. She screwed up by telling him after the death. She grew up when she lost a child and had to tell her other children. When she choose the right guy for once. When she stuck by him. When she tried to support her family. Was she a perfect saint during this time? No. She makes mistakes. Clearly not everybody can be Saint Marlena, Perfect Mother & Blameless Woman.

Marlens spending time with John isnt the issue, her always picking him above her daughter is. Adult or not - when your child dies you need your mother. Sami has needed her mother a lot and she hasnt been there. And when she has been there it doesnt matter because there are so many issues between them that neither, Perfect Marlena as well, do not deal with.

And again, you picked a good example - death row. How nice that she was truly there for once or twice in nearly 20 years. Someone give her mother of the year!

Thats just not true. I mean, it is what has been done, but it isnt something that must have been done for them to work. What made them work was the push and pull. Him perusing her, spoiling her, sometimes against her wishes. Him doing bad things and her knowing that but seeing the good guy in there and falling in love with him by watching the way is with his family. Even after they got together they were interesting for the most part until MD came along. The reveal that Victor knew more about Maggie's eggs being used by Daniels parents was good, but its been dropped. With some half way decent writing they can be great again. Same for for Stefano/Kate.

The biggest issue with Maggie/Victor is that they married them way, way to fast. They should still be dating. A possible story could be him wanting to make her his wife and her saying no, ive been a wife for 30+ years, i want to focus on my resturants, and help out the community, and just date you for now and him being uneasy about that and then bringing Ian in he could be seen as a threat to Victor.

It was always true. There was no push and pull. When Victor first started meeting Maggie they were ethically and morally like this

V-------------------M

As time goes by they now are like this

------------V-------M

Maggie never gives ground, not even an inch, nor should she because she must always be right, good and true. It just puts Victor in a bad spot. The only person that can stand up to someone morally pure is someone else just as pure. If EJ fell in love with Jennifer it would be the exact same situation.

Right, poor innocent marlena. her daughters outcome in life has NOTHING to do with her. She showered with unconditional love and support and guided her down the right path in life. Thats really all im getting from you, and it couldnt be further from the truth.

First, learn to read.

Secondly, once you've learned to read, you can read that I never wrote Marlena was perfect. Marlena is far from perfect. She has screwed up countless times. But saying she wasn't there for Sami is simply not true. Saying otherwise, you're simply trying to fit your agenda. Marlena has been there for Sami countless times. I'm not going to argue with you over and over. If you believe that Marlena should support half the stuff Sami has done in her life then fiiiiiiine by me. I just hope I don't ever have the pleasure of seeing your children's wrath.

Growing up does not include shooting people in the head. You have a lot to learn there.

And again, you picked a good example - death row. How nice that she was truly there for once or twice in nearly 20 years. Someone give her mother of the year!

Once again, your trying to fit your agenda. Marlena's been there countless times. I've listed it in my previous posts. Please by all means find clips during those times when Marlena wasn't there. Prove that I'm mistaken. I bet you won't!!

Oh, arnt we just sweet. Maybe you should learn that personal attacks and judgements based on a fictional tv show, characters and situations isnt a good idea... And for the record, even marlena stated that she wasnt there for sami as much as she could/should have been in response to sami telling her she was always busy being happy with john.

Anyways, I wonder what is going on with Perggy McCay. If she is ok or if they are just not using her, because Caroline fits right in here. Caroline was always there for Sami and supportive where Marlena failed, as Marlena is now for Will where Sami is lacking.

Speaking of dropped plots with victor knowing more about maggies eggs being used, i wonder what is to come for sami and kate and madison when the truth comes out and i wonder if we are to forget that when kate hired sami they hinted at her having an alt motive.

Ian has added a lot to the brady/madison & cosmestics storyline. Now if only they could amp up the other failing stories.

Also, so Kate slept with ian rather recently? Odd...

Oh my gosh, why am I screaming like a little school girl

So they showed the kiss then? Does it look less angry/weird than in the photos?

At least Massey will have a better reason for all the huffing and puffing.

No not the kiss, yet...just the guy coming up to Will to ask him to play Beer Pong.

That was the most awkward kiss ever

I loved it

They were kissing so rough but yeah I can't believe they actually showed it.

Loved today's episode but can't wait for Marlena/Will and Sami/Rafe/EJ/Nicole scenes tomorrow.

Will and Beer Pong Boy's kiss was pretty intense, poor Sonny, such a good dude and then his little heart gets stomped on into tiny pieces. It was a well done, realistic "I'm drunk, young, horny and figuring myself out" kiss. Well done to the DAYS team.

Loved the through the fireplace shot of Nicole and EJ. Nicely done.

Sami and Rafe...good lord I wanted Rafe to break that picture frame over Sami's head. What a sanctimonious bitch. Illogical, thy name is Sami Brady.

Anyone else find it a little weird how those people were just partying & playing beer pong in the (public) town square like that?! I thought I heard Sonny tell Will that the party was happening at a new club that was opening in the square tonight...LOL guess not.

Wow. That kiss is lasting a long time. Very awkward and rugged, I was shocked! Pretty good DAYS.

Chandler plays a great, convincing drunk. It was MUCH better than that disastorous drunk performance we had to suffer through a few weeks ago w/Patrick Muldoon.

The Sami/Rafe/EJ stuff is just ok. This is a weak payoff so far for me! I was expecting something much more powerful.

Thank you for noticing the party in the town square, complete with underage drinking and beer pong and drunk makeout session under an archway. They couldn't use a random house or hotel room set for a house party? It made absolutely no sense whatsoever. The only thing that would have made it odder would be for Kate to emerge from her Countess W offices and do body shots.

Chandler Massey plays a good young drunk. Patrick Muldoon is a sh*tty actor and can't act at all, drunk, sober or asleep.

Yep, the Sami/EJ/Rafe crap is crap. It isn't working for any of them. Galen underplayed in his scenes, Sweeney's floundering with horrific writing for Sami and James Scott's puppy eyes with Arianne Zuker are random. It's all hitting a very false note.

I had seen it late last night on the spoiler thread and found it awkward too.

Was his heart really stomped on?? For me Sonny is more concerned about his safety and what he is going through. I dont think he was upset he was kissing a guy cause he was jealous. Of course i could be wrong about that...but I think its more about Will's actions towards his sexuality than anything that is worrying Sonny.

Is it the town square or an outdoor mall or an indoor mall?? I just dont get it. I hate the set and so sick of seeing it. It is so cheap looking. That was not a new gay bar...please.....lol

I agree about Muldoon he is one shitty actor.

The party being held there was stupid. It made no sense. CM rocks as a drunk.....lol. Yes Muldoon is a s hitty actor.

Off to see my DVD copy of today's episode.

OMG Sami, SHUT THE F---K UP!!!!! Ugh! and Im only 5 minutes in

I would say that Sonny's heart was absolutely all stomped on because Sonny actually loves Will because he actually cares about him. Sonny isn't jealous, but he has concern for Will as a human being. Perhaps it isn't romantic, but Sonny loves Will and wants the best for him and the spiral he's seeing Will go down isn't positive. The Sonny/Will relationship is real love, above romantic and sex.

Muldoon...oh good lord he's awful. If anyone deserves to be fired it's him.

The Town Square is supposed to be outdoor with a roof on top...so open air...but with a roof. It makes absolutely no sense at all. It's cheap looking and a total piece of crap and unbearably small. Going from Salem Place to Horton Town Square...ludicrous.
