When did Paulina have time to talk to the ADA about prosecuting EJ for Sami's rape?

And, if they have an ADA, why don't they ever promote that person?  That might saved EJ's life.

I have a theory that I'll share in the DAYS monthly spoiler section

Maybe not this version of the story, but ideally if the show had really devoted the time and the energy to really explore Sami's choices and why she fell for her rapist, Will's pov is crucial. Teen Will shot EJ, Lucas went to prison for it, and it destroyed his family that he yearned for with the nearly the same fervor that Sami yearned for Marlena & Roman to be together.

It really seemed like that's where they were going to go in 2011-2012 when Marlene McPherson and Darrell Ray Thomas were writing but the writer change put an end to that.

I think it would been really interesting for Will to have become a somewhat darker character, similar to what Sami was in the 90s.

Decades of bad storytelling have made EJ, Sami and everyone connected to them not just toxic, but radioactive.  I applaud the writers' decision to address some of the elephants that have been in the room for too long, but, man, is it gonna be messy; and I don't exactly have the confidence that DAYS will handle this appropriately either.  It's been a long, long, LONG time since DAYS was that kind of show.

Sami did mention Austin and Carrie forgave her so I think they are on decent terms.  I do agree that Carrie is sorely missed here.  Honestly, I would love to hear from Austin as well on this. Every time Belle/Sami snipe at one another I wish it was Carrie/Sami arguing.  Sami/Belle have never felt like peers or rivals to me even if the actresses are close in age.  Christie is

Sami telling Johnny about her history was almost a 7 minute scene - one of the show's longest scenes that I can remember.  I just wish Sami's daughters could've been there for this.  I mean, are we going to see something similar to this for Sydney?

    • You're really in for it, because those rants continue for 3 episodes. I was struck by how ho-hum those cliffhangers were. It was like the writers ran out of gas.
    • New Tomas pleaseeeeeeee!!

    • Thank you for the clarification, but Susan didn't name her child after David.  It was Julie who named her son David.   And how/when was Susan's son killed?  And didn't Susan kill David Martin and stand trial for his murder?   
    • I truly wish we could see more of her work on DAYS. And more of her early stuff on GH, but at least we know that Corday’s DAYS vault is virtually complete, especially compared to GH. Lesley was a pivotal character. I think the scenes with the confrontation with Monica are so good because there is a lot of character in those lines and performances. Monica is ferocious, desperate. And Lesley is not a victim, she holds her own and calls Monica out, playing her own form of anger. Evenly matched. Soap confrontations have largely forgotten that both sides should be evenly matched, even if someone has wronged another. To me, that scene is easily in my soap hall of fame. They didn’t make enough of her return, which has always bothered me. I would have loved for her to end up vying for control of the hospital when Alan was incapacitated by drugs, helping him through that crisis and finding herself at odds with Monica again on a different level, not as romantic rivals. She had such a long career! Acting in radio shows as a little kid, through her GH spots as few years ago. That’s quite a ride. 
    • Damn I was hoping Lesley would be at Monica's memorial  Hoping GH gives Lesley an on screen memorial
    • Today's episode was serviceable, but the cliffhangers were disappointing!
    • I just got to the first set of Dante ranting at Gio episodes and I really need him to shut the hell up. Gio literally was at the party with people his own age and didn’t even know Dante’s kid snuck out to a party. Talking about I could charge you for serving a minor? This is just really stupid writing.
    • Back up a bit. Susan & Julie were best friends. Tom thought David too old for Julie & forbade her to see him. They continued but they had to sneak around.  So they couldn't always get together when they wanted to. One of THOSE nights David got drunk. At the same time for different reasons Susan had a huge fight with her parents, slammed out the door & went & also got drunk. David & Susan comforted each other & things took their usual course From that one  drunken night, Susan got pregnant. The 3 made a joint decision. He would marry her to give the child his name & then they would divorce. Is it any wonder this did not go according to plan. Bill Bell wrote this. So best friends became bitter enemies.   I am the exception because I had no problem suspending my disbelief to go along with the LaSalles. I love Marisa as much as I loved Mary. Reginald, always a problem to me, And, Robert Hogan had to be Vince. WhIle I'm at it I am glad that didn't do anything with making Scott a triplet.
    • All good @ChristosM, we appreciate you.  You’re awesome, thanks so much @rsclassicfanforever
