DAYS' music is hokey, definitely. I have their soundtrack from 2010 and it's full of monotonous uninspiring stuff. Not to constantly praise the 90's heyDAYS, but their music was lightyears better in the mid-90's.

OK very unpopularopinion on here I believe but I realized I HATE HATE Days of Our Lives' music. All that plinky plunky tuneless constant synth guitar and keyboard. Is Corday still in charge of it? Does the man have zero talent>?

Trust me, it's not an unpopular opinion. LOL Most of Corday and Brent Nelson's background music is bad. Occasionally, there's a few good cue, but most of them are really bad......like this new one during the John/Hope scenes with the woman's voice (Kelly Moneymaker?) oooohhhhh and ahhhhing.

Glad see the new turn in Gabi. I hope Gabi and Abby (Gabby) team up.

Cheap, Abby found out about Green Mountain Lodge (glad that's back too) on Austin's computer.

Phew, for some reason I thought many liked DAYS' current music--I'm glad others agree. I think it needs a complete overhaul. Monotonous is the word.

wait what experience does Corday have in music?

He went to the Julliard School of Inflated Egos.

Did he flunk out or pay his way through bc the music is terrible on the show.

Fyi we are in March...shouldn't we start a new thread lol

Cheap, Lucas knows everything. I dunno if Sami told him offscreen but he knows she slept with EJ and that will saw it, he mentioned it on their convo.

He slept with Professor Langan.

Sami and Lucas stayed friends despite all that happened. Their relationship was always rooted in more than the contrived fake soulmate attempts with EJ and Sami.

I couldn't disagree more with you there. Sami and Lucas are the same pairing Sami has always had since she was a teenager. There is no difference between most of her parings. You instantly know Sami is going to fall for a guy she can't have, do something underhanded to make the guy fall in love with her and then later do something self-destructive to mess everything up and end up with the guy running for his life to get away from her.

Lumi is no different. It is virtually identical to the pairings Sami has been in for over a decade. Brandon and EJ are probably the only two characters who really see Sami for who and what she is and are still willing to get into bed with her (so to speak) with full insight into who she is a scheming, manipulative bitch. For that reason alone I find EJ and Sami to be a justifiable "relationship" even if the show itself barely went there. Both of the characters are mirror images of each other, it makes complete sense for them to be in this tug-of-war love/hate relationship they have been in for four or five years, they are exactly alike and they are both vindictive, self-absorbed jerks who only care about themselves in the end and something about that resonates with the other. As Nicole said "you must care about her, you keep sleeping with her!" To me that's a hell of a lot more interesting then Saustin 1.0, 2.0 Lumi 1.0, 2.0, 3.0 and Safe 1.0 and 2.0 ever were to be honest because it's the same storyline played continuously with a different man in the drivers seat.

Sami is a destructive force and it's ridiculous how everyone just lets her walk away and get away with things. EJ was really the only character who ever checked her and gave her back everything she ever gave out which quite frankly needed to happen because she was a completely unlikable bitch by the time 05/06' came around.

We can agree to disagree. I think Lucas and Sami have always had a connection. Ejami were good for about 6 months until EJ morphed into every other guy and hasn't been the same character since he changed for Sami and started groveling just like hes doing with Nicole today. He hasn't been the same guy since they changed him in 2008. Watching him with a fishing cap on begging her was the limit. Its the same thing they do for every man to be with Sami. Lucas at least was always despite the pain they caused each other, her friend.

As for Sami, she became the perpetual victim once EJ arrived. It was his arrival that triggered the poor poor Sami era. So for all the claims of how perfect they were for each other, no 2 characters were more turned into pretzels to be together than these 2.

Lucas and Sami were a team in their teens. If anyone knows Sami, it's Lucas.

I would have used her to sew more strife between Will/Sami and Sami/Rafe, instead of the way they did it where Will spent months playing the same abusive scenes with Sami before finally telling her he knew the truth. I think it could have been built up better, and Gabi could have poisoned his mind further, while pretending to be a friend.

I've been tuning in and out lately depending on my free time, but I agree with this. One of the problems I have with 'Days,' and the previous regime wasn't always great about this towards the end, is they don't utilize the character dynamics. I remember when Sami suggested Gabi as a model this would fuel conflict in Sami / Rafe relationship. I don't think Rafe would want his baby sister working for the Dimeras; it's bad enough Sami was. If working with the Dimeras wasn't bad enough, allowing Gabi to be around her ex-boyfriend and newfound Dimera Chad probably wasn't going to make him happy. Plus, throw in the fact Gabi wanted Will back and Gabi was working with Will's mother and paternal grandmother you'd think there would be some nice natural conflict there.

While I think Deidre Hall is thriving in a supporting capacity, I'm disappointed others haven't been allowed into the Sami / Marlena / Will storyline. I find this incredibly odd since one of the main complaints about the last regime was how isolated Sami is from the rest of the canvas. At times, I find the current stories in similar bubbles.

Its weird seeing Sami and Lucas so cool with each other. Weasnt their last onscreen interaction less than pleasant? If I recall correctly, he was ripping into her for being with EJ. I wonder how he will react to finding out that Will's been on a downward spiral since seeing Sami with EJ yet again

Lucas left town in Janaury / February 2010. I cannot remember if he was present for Mickey's funeral, but I remember he wasn't there when Chandler Massey arrived in February. Lucas had only been back in Salem for a few months. Chloe went into a coma in the summer of 2009 and by September Lucas had fallen off the wagon only to be shipped to rehab for several months. When Lucas returned, it had just come out that Sydney had been switched so Lucas and Sami were on fairly stable terms. I don't remember if there were any issues in June when Lucas came back for Alice's passing, but there may have been because Will was living with Kate and Stefano at the time because of Sami's behavior.

For the most part, Higley / Tomlin played Lucas and Sami as comfortably divorced. Sami confided in Lucas that she was pregnant with E.J.'s baby and later told him the child was stillborn. Lucas told his then fiancee Chloe, who passed the information onto Nicole. While Sami wasn't a fan of Chloe / Lucas, I think her feelings subsided when Rafe entered the picture and she became more concerned about keeping Grace's paternity a secret.

When Lucas returned later that year for Alice's funeral, Sami was just getting back with EJ. I think i rememebr him calling her out for it

Lucas always called Sami out on her hypocrisy. But he never really hated her.
