Oh god, that would be even worse!

I disagree with that. This triangle is far from great or anything, but I absolutely think Sami is very viable to be in the middle of a triangle. The issue is this triangle isnt about her, it doesnt even revolve around her. Shes a supporting player when she should be the driving force in it. She simply reacts to what EJ and to what Rafe do and thats the issue.

Thats not true. EJ has been backburnered for quite some time and has turned into a supporting character once the current writers took over. Theres nothing for Sami to react to as he doesnt do anything but react to what goes on with her and Rafe. He just stands on the sidelines and when they seem to be in trouble, he is there to pick up the pieces, but then backs off when she gets back with Rafe. Thats been EJ's MO since late summer. He isnt the driving force of anything and Sami most definetly is the star of this triangle.

EJ? Backburned? What show have I been watching? Maybe not dominating every single storyline and in every scene like he was for the past few years, but he is far from backburner.

You and others post how rafe does something and sami runs to ej and then ej does something and sami runs to rafe. Thats absolutely true, and that is far from a star or driving force of the triangle. Even now, she is reacting to Rafe and running to EJ. And when the truth comes out about Gabi and the blackmail she will do it again because thats what she does, react to them.

I don't watch everyday. I watch 2-3 episodes a month but I agree with Cheap. Sami's fickleness is running the triangle or quad. I'm quite sick of Sami/EJ/Rafe/Lucas (i.e. Days of Sami's vagina, indeed). It's unfortunate they don't use Nicole to her full potential.

I like women being in control on my soap but not in this sort of weak sense, and it's just too much Sami. Sami needs a good man-less story, I think.

Sami has no motivation or drive. She just goes with the flow and thats why she currently sucks. She lacks direction and focus. I think Will's baby at least finally gives her something to fight for, bc thats certainly not something she's had to do with this fickle triangle.

She is the star of the triangle because both men are panting after her and she doesn't have to work for anything from them. That's how she is the "star" so to speak. Sami is motivated by her fickleness and I completely agree on that merit. It's not so much that Rafe and EJ are doing "bad things" to Sami, so much as Sami can't make up her damn mind which results in her ping ponging back and forth. She's indecisive, she is leading the storyline but she is going nowhere fast. Sami is the lead player in the storyline, she is just in ingenue mode. There is a difference between being a lead player (Sami in this storyline) and being an assertive player (Nicole during the baby switch, and lying about the paternity of EJ's baby). They aren't always the same thing.

I guess i classify a lead/star as someone who drives story. A good girl, an ingenue can absolutely be a lead - Marlena and Belle come to mind first for days - but they have to lead as those women do, and sami has in the past. Leading doesnt mean being the catalist for what happens, but all of samis actions are actually reactions to what the men in her life do, and that would still be lead except the way its done is very much supporting to me. She props rafe. she props ej. she supports them. Literally any woman could be in samis spot. Sweeney is without doubt the female lead on days, the star of the show, but she feels very, very supporting in this triangle now and has for awhile.

From the little I do see, can that not be argued for all the characters involved. The Sami can't pick a man story with the 3 same guys is just so old that it just seems like recycled garbage where nothing really evolves.

She really needs a strong story outside of a man. I did see some of her scenes with Rafe's little sister. The evil baby grandma story could be kind of fun.
