Vindictive Sami

I Even when they aren't at war with each other, EJ ruins Sami's life. He's been doing it for eight years, and it is way past time that Sami put EJ down for good.

Well said, but I'm convinced that the current IIC at NBC, SONY and Days will NEVER allow that to happen. They have some twisted notion that this tale of repeated rape and emotional abuse is simply irresistible "Dark Romance" and refuse to acknowledge it for the cycle of abuse that it truly is .
 
Terrific acting by Alison Sweeney (Sami)! However, I, too, felt that Sami was way too brutal with Abigail, especially in light of her own past conniving and manipulating. EJ, in my opinion, deserved way more of Sami's venom.

@JS...I hope so!!......why, one short scene with EJ, but 5 times as much spent on grinding down Abigail?Plus, she has promised Abigail that "tomorrow" everyone in Salem is going to know about her and what she did.

When the affair happened 3 times over 5 months ago and has since ended yet Sami is still going bat crazy on Abigail but not the man she is married to? Yes she is WAY over the top.

As for EJ, she just stole his company right out from under him and had him put in jail indefinitely for tax evasion. Aside from also taking the children and maybe his home(IF the company owns it), how much more revenge is going to satisfy Sami?

Be careful what you wish for because vengeance usually comes back to hurt the person who is pursuing it. And I wouldn't want Sami's innocent kids to be without a mother, regardless of how unstable she is.
 
I believe Sami is just getting started with her plans for EJ. Sami has to completely destroy EJ because if she doesn't EJ will target Sami again. When Sami was talking to Kate, Sami told Kate that EJ had all the power. Sami finally realized, much too late, just how vulnerable she made herself when she willingly became involved with EJ. EJ is not capable of love, but he believes his own lies, and when someone upsets that fantasy of perfect home life that he has, he turns on them immediately.

EJ whining in his cell about what an idiot he is, and how he should have realized something was going on with Sami had me cackling with glee. Lucas, Will and Sonny knew something was off with Sami at the wedding, but EJ, who claims to know Sami oh so well, didn't have a clue.
 
It's pretty hard for me to see how Sami is going easier on Abby than EJ. If Abby is grown enough to sleep with an engaged man with kids, then she's surely grown enough to take a tongue-lashing from the person whose family she decided wasn't worth considering over a few romps. As far as I'm concerned (especially considering Sami's past retaliations), Sami is going easy on Abby. Given her previous lack of respect for marriage (since so many people are keen on bringing up Sami's past and how she somehow deserved this), Abby is still getting off pretty light here. She could easily be considered a serial homewrecker, and Jen's defense of her was sickening to me. I understand a parent's desire to protect their child, but there's a difference between loving your child no matter what and being overly dismissive and forgiving of their bad behavior. And Abby's behavior has been pretty bad recently. Good intentions are pretty paltry in comparison to action.

EJ has lost far more than Abigail here. Her precious reputation is in jeopardy, but EJ stands to lose his company, his assets, his family, and his future. Poor little Abby got screamed at more than EJ, but the true scope of what each has lost is far from comparable. Abby will rebound from this easily, and the worst she will have to deal with is mean looks and hurt feelings. EJ, however, his debt is deep, and Sami is poised to collect. Hard. I am loving how this is playing out, and it's so nice to see Sami table her emotions in favor of the long con like she used to do so effortlessly.

Sami came into Jennifer's home and was about to physically attack her daughter. Affair or not, guilt or no guilt, Jen had every right to defend Abby. And it wasn't far-fetched for her to believe EJ somehow seduced Abby. It's not as if he's the picture of loyalty, honesty, and fidelity. What was Jennifer suppose to do, go to Sami's side and join her in her tirade against Abby. :rolleyes: And in the end, she did the right thing consoling her daughter. I'm sure at some point Jen is going to have a conversation with Abby to let her know she doesn't like what she did, but that moment was not the time.

EJ has shown he doesn't care about the company or the assets because he gave it all up last year to free Sami. He has said time and time again he'd walk away from it all for Sami so why should I think that Sami taking the company is going to hurt anything other than his ego.
 
Sami is not going to stop with Dimera Enterprises. Sami told both EJ and Kate she has six months to take care of EJ. I believe Sami is going to use her position as CEO to access more files and look for more criminal evidence against the Dimeras. Sami has to neutralize EJ and Stefano before they can strike back.

I see your point, but keep in mind, it's also Abby's home. I'm also not so sure Sami was going to physically attack her, as we've gotten a good look at what that looks like recently with Nicole. Abby's an adult, well past legal age, and should reasonably be living on her own. It's a strange and awkward thing for me to think about having to reconcile confronting a woman who slept with your husband while trying to see if you have their parent's permission to speak to them about it.

Abby participated in a very adult situation, and she shouldn't be protected from it because she hasn't matured enough to become more independent. Really, where else should Sami confront her? In public? Then she'd be publicly humiliating her. At work? The same, potentially even putting her job at risk. It's not as if Abby has her own space to deal with private matters. If she were involved in a legal situation the police would come to Jennifer's house.

At some point we have to recognize that Abby is dealing with her own choices and actions coming around to bite her, and Jennifer continuing to shelter her from consequences is keeping her from growing and maturing.

To me it's an interesting example of the vast differences between Abby and EJ, and that they are in very different places in their lives. Abby is the one that brought the situation into her mother's home by putting herself into the middle of it while living in the Horton house, and I see no reason why Sami has to be polite given the emotional nature of this story.

I am looking forward to the day that Abby is treated like an actual grown-up on Days. Her peers are getting married, having kids, and starting careers, and she is stagnating. At this point Abby needs a lot more than a lecture from Jen that she doesn't approve of her daughter's behavior. She simply doesn't deserve a soft place to land right now, especially after the Austin situation. Tough love isn't a bad thing, necessarily.

EJ has shown he doesn't care about the company or the assets because he gave it all up last year to free Sami. He has said time and time again he'd walk away from it all for Sami so why should I think that Sami taking the company is going to hurt anything other than his ego.

This, to me, isn't an example of EJ not caring about the company. It's more a matter of priorities. If need be, he'd give up the company and his assets to help and keep Sami, but I highly doubt he'd be content with getting neither. He's not so good at getting nothing, but he's very good at grandiose speeches.
 
While Sami has a right to be angry and go after EJ and Abby, she's taking things too far. While her anger is justified, her desire for revenge is going to hurt her children, especially Johnny and Sydney. Johnny used to get upset when EJ and Sami were feuding, how is he going to feel when he hears about his dad going to prison?
