The Hayes' wouldnt stand for his usual style

EJ's hair is looking good in prison. They must have good shampoo at Statesville. 

Did I miss people asking for Clyde back? 

[Khan]

We all missed it.

I realize DAYS can't function without a Big Bad causing trouble for everyone, but are Clyde Weston, Orpheus and the devil the best they can do now?

[SteelCity]

Every since the Sami/EJ Show, I can't like EJ, no matter who the hell plays him.

[Khan]

Same.  I can't get past the fact that EJami are supposed to be this great love story (that was shoved down our throats at every opportunity) when the dude literally forced her to have sex with him.  Like, how da fuq am I supposed to care about a guy who does THAT?  How is HE supposed to be this romantic or heroic character?

[SteelCity]

That my big reason, plus which he never really has to pay for his crimes, and he was forced down our throats at every chance to destroy Sami/Lucas. Sami and Lucas were set up to be more or less endgame, only for them to be destroy by this overwhelming love that apparently spanned over 100 years. BULLSH!T

[FrenchBug82]

Which is happening again by having Lucas kidnap her.

This.

And you know what is weird about that story and that I can't get over? They KNEW they wanted to go with EJami the minute EJ arrived in town. They hinted at it, played with it, established the chemistry. I hated it because I am a Lumi supporter but they were heavy-handed and I couldn't deny that it could make for a good story.

WHY would they intentionally choose to start what they had worked so hard to establish as the "Next Great Love" with rape is beyond me. It is bad enough when it happens with characters or couples writers didn't foresee would take off. I don't like it but they didn't see Jack becoming a fan fave or Luke/Laura on GH.
But here EJami was the plan. So WHY would they poison the well for a huge part of the audience with that plot? 
I'll never understand what kind of misogynist short-sighted thinking led them to think this was a good idea.

[MichaelGL]

Which is a puzzling story decision in itself; AS is not going to be on the show long, they could have put her with Lucas and have them ride off into the sunset together. Lucas is already seldom seen as it is. But now they are obviously throwing Lucas under the bus for a EJami reunion, just for AS to leave again. The whiplash from the constant back and forth is ridiculous.

Which is why my days as a big fan are gone. I don't have a character to love anymore! That and the need to make EVERYONE related! That's why I used to like nicole, she's the kind of character that's a wildcard.

[AbcNbc247]

Kayla and Renee were friends, back in the day?

[victoria foxton]

This is way before my time. But i do know that Kayla and Renee were rivals for David Banning. "Renee'' would've also have known who Sarah Horton was. I doubt RC bothered researching Renee's history.

[AbcNbc247]

Yeah I read about that, that’s why I wasn’t sure if they were friends or not. And you’re right about Sarah. She may have been a baby back then but Renee was married to her cousin lol 

[John]

I believe Catherine Mary Stewart was Kayla back then

[AlexElizabeth]

They're really making Linsey Godfrey play this story where she's in love with Tony. Seriously?
