Days of Our Lives
Monday, August 25, 2014

The fallout from the publication of Will's article continues. Sami is asking EJ to help her, that the board is all upset, he has to help. She begs, pleads, insists. EJ listens quietly, then tells her that he has been waiting for this day, when she would come to him asking for his help. "Go to hell", he says. Sami does more pleading, EJ quietly tells her the article would not have caused this much damage or have all these repercussions if Abigail's name had not been revealed. He figures she gave the name, she admits she did, once again, calling Abby all kinds of names, and saying she did not want to let her off the hook. EJ tells her that she had already taken care of Abby privately, but that was not enough. Nope. EJ tries to take the blame, Sami is vicious about Abby again, and EJ tells her that she was not satisfied with getting revenge privately, she had to go public, not thinking at all of the effect it would have on the company. She starts talking of their children, their legacy, he cannot let it be destroyed. He tells her that one thing he learned from his father was to keep business and private stuff separate. He mentions fake Rafe. She is insisting that EJ has to help, that they will be going down. Nope.....you & Kate will be going down. He gets up and leaves.

Will opens the door to an upset Abby, who reams him out but good. He really tries to explain what happened, and how her name ended up in the article, but she honestly barely gives him a chance to speak. She finally tells him she is not a whore, she did not get paid for sleeping with EJ, but how much did he make for what he wrote. He tells her $3000.00. She notes that with inflation, that would equal about 30 pieces of silver. She hopes it was worth it, and storms out.

Lucas talks to someone on the phone, wanting to know what he can about the editor at True Vista. He is at the club, and then talks to Sonny, surprised he is there, instead of with Will, who has to be getting all kinds of flak. Sonny says no, Will is all excited aboutTV interviews, etc. But Sonny sits with Lucas, talking of the article, but then Sonny stops abruptly, tells Lucas to talk to Will. Lucas rightly figures that when someone does that, it usually means Sami is involved. He leaves, gets a call, learns Victor owns True Vista magazine.

Abby's turn to talk with Sonny, moaning about Will, wondering how Sonny felt when he read the article, complaining that Will never told her, and why use her name. Sonny goes on that Will never named her, was careful that her name was not to be revealed. Abby says that is impossible.....no one else.......Aha. Lightbulb. Sami. She takes off.

Lucas goes to see Will, who is in no moon to get another dressing down. Lucas only wants to help in any way he can, is there to support him. Will says he has to take care of his own problems. Lucas mentions Victor, Will is taken aback to learns Victor owns the magazine.
Lucas leaves, Sonny comes in...has something to tell Will. But Will has something to say to Sonny...when are you going to stop treating me like a child?

In the park, Brady, back from a run, has taken off his shirt, and there stands the smiling Kristen, so happy to see him, been a long time, but she doesn't care how long. Brady is tight-lipped, and not happy to see her. He lets her have it, first mentioning her kidnapping Daniel, are her goons around to do the same to him. Oh, that was a misunderstanding, she purrs. Sure, replies Brady. Getting beat up just a misunderstanding. He tells her off, about raping Eric, drugging him, lying to Brady about how Eric seduced her. He goes on about his sinking into alcohol, drugs, and bad hookups.And goes on about his father, and how he is in a coma, from which he will not recover, that Brady tried money to get doctors, but there is no hope, and in effect, he has killed his father. He is done with Kristen, doesn't want to ever see her again.

Eric is sitting with John when Nicole arrives. He is short and abrupt with her, and intends to leave. She mentions Will's article, how her boss wants her on that story but she refused, could not hurt Eric any more. He still leaves.

Roman meets up with Marlena at the Pub, to tell her of Kristen being freed, and yes, the judge probably was paid off by Stefano, but he did order a ankle monitor. Marlena calls Eric, tells him to come over to the Pub, and learning Nicole is there, says to bring her. When all 4 are together, Marlena inquires as to them testifying, what they said, and lets them know Kristen was freed. She has tried to call Brady to no avail, so they decide to go looking. Roman goes one way, Marlena another, and Eric a 3rd, leaving Nicole.
Eric goes to the Kmansion, Henderson says no one is home. Eric is leaving a note when Nicole arrives. He is a bit rude to her, but she can tell from they way he looks at her, that despite hating her, as he says, he really doesn't know what he wants. He shoves her out the door.

Lucas runs into EJ in the square, with EJ in no moon to trade barbs with Lucas. However Lucas tells him that it was his son who wrote that article, and that EJ had sex with his niece. Lucas then mentions that Victor really got him this time. EJ is puzzled, Lucas pleased he actually knows something the DiMeras don't, and tells him how Vic owns True Vista magazine.

Sami gets a call from Mr. Shin, and does her best to assure him all is well, EJ will call him, everything is fine, they are on top of it all. She hangs up, grabs her purse and opens the door to leave, and there stands Abby. S...L....A...P!!! Abby delivers a good one across the cheek to the astonished Sami.

Brady runs into Marlena in the square, knows all about Kristen being freed, told her off, she is gone. Marlena wonders where she is. And there is Kristen, in John's room, looking at his chart. She sits down next to the bed, asking John if he can hear her. And tells him that it is funny, she had no intention of coming to Salem, and then there she was, not knowing what she was going to do. But now, she knows exactly what she is going to do.
 
Pathetic: Is the word to describe Samantha Gene Brady Dimera on Today Episode.

Proud of EJ Today, although I know this bravado that he displayed won't last long, but it was great for to finally tell Sami to
go to HELL.

Abby needs to learn to shut up and allows others to have a word in.

Eric is as annoying and insufferable as ever

Both Lucas and EJ were the highlights of the show for me.

Sami looks soo pathetic. I have no comment on
her behavior.

Sami acts as if Abby cheated on her and not EJ.
 
Lucas is always fabulous when he's snarky with EJ. I agree that Sami was pathetic with EJ. I actually did enjoy EJ calling her out about putting Abby's name in the article and telling her to go to.....

I wish wardrobe would stop dressing Will like Mr. Rogers. Good for Abigail telling off Will and then telling Sonny to shove it about his part in the whole thing. I guess we are in for a catfight tomorrow.

Eric can lose the sanctimonious attitude anytime. I'm so sick of him and wish Nicole would just drop him like yesterday's news. I was kinda ticked off that she told him she wouldn't do the press piece about Sami/EJ/Abigail out of respect for him. Please. I could understand if they were actually a couple but he pretty much hates her and has told her as much.

Eric has pretty much told Nicole to drop dead and I hate that she keeps putting herself in the position for him to be so ugly. Her telling him today that he doesn't know what he wants was spot on because he has no clue.

:clap::clap::clap:

I REALLY wish Nicole would realize that no amount of showing that she's "good" now is going to get Eric to quit abusing her. I want to see her hold her head up high and move on from him, knowing that she is worth so much more.
 
I was totally on board with this pairing (Eric/Nicole) at first even though the buildup took forever. I even forgave his berating and accusations of rape because once he learned the truth he immediately sought her forgiveness and was contrite in his apology. They screwed it all up with her destroying the evidence and his waffling and then sanctimonious outrage toward her. Yes, Nicole was dead wrong to keep that evidence and subsequently destroy it, but she's not the reason he's not currently a priest. It just makes him feel better about his own guilt and hatred of himself to just blame everything on Nicole. Once he comes to this realization and begs her forgiveness AGAIN I really hope she tells him to go play in traffic.
 
I gave the episode only about 45 seconds today. It started with EJ/Sami and that's never a good thing. Plus it has tough competition (at least in my house) this week on FXX. (Simpsons marathon.) Thanks for the summary.

Sounds like same old Sami/EJ. SNORE. I'm going to love the Lucas scenes, and I want to know what was said about fake Rafe, so I'll check my tape quickly during an ad break. :)

Will/Sonny/Abby SNORE O RAMA. Somebody wipe the snot off Will's nose; but I can't even root for Abby either anymore. I JUST WANT THIS TO END!! LOL

Nicole is a reporter? Who knew!?!? :wink:

Did Eric actually shove Nicole?

Kristen - don't know what to think about this yet. Silly that she's not in jail. Stupid that she's reading a patient's chart. Hopefully Brady meant what he said, is all I can hope.

Once he (Eric) comes to this realization and begs her (Nicole) forgiveness AGAIN I really hope she tells him to go play in traffic.
Let's get the bus ready....
 
It was a bad day for those seeking forgiveness or something like it for their bad deeds: groveling didn't go to well for Kristen, lame excuses failed to do the trick for Will, business necessity flopped for Sami, and, as usual, common sense got Nicole nowhere with Father Sanctimonious. Speaking of Kristen, Brady may not be aware of it, but she, not Dr. McScruffy and assorted high powered specialists, is the go-to person when it comes to saving ComaJohn. The DiMeras are past masters at raising their perpetual patsy from the dead. One call to Dr. Rolf would soon have John out of bed, dancing past the nurses' station, and racing to the Brady Pub for a cold one. As for Abigail, her slap of Sami, suggests a grand event for the Town Square, which has already seen the one-sided EJ-Rafe fisticuffs. Salem could stage a for-charity, Town Square ladies fight night: Nicole vs. Kristen, Abigail vs. Sami, and Jeannie Theresa vs. darling Jenny. Finally, the real loser in the whole Will article fracas could be Victor. After the dust has settled and the participants have settled into an uneasy truce, he'll still have to live with the embarrassment of being outed as the publisher of that rag or all rags, TruVista Magazine.
 
@Jason.....the remark about Rafe was minute. EJ was berating Sami for how she has handled her revenge against "the other woman". Said he learned from his father never to mix business & personal, and that when his father "neutered Rafe", he did not do it himself. He thought about it.
But you Sami, did not think about how what you were doing would affect everyone else.

That was it. Odd choice of words, I thought. Especially because it was Stefano who had the Doctor and Arnold down in the basement lab, where Arnold was reconstructed into a Rafe clone. And he proudly showed EJ the results of his plan, so they could grin, toast, etc. as Fake Rafe lay in Sami's bed and "consumated" the relationship.
 
Lucas was on for more that two seconds today!

I just don't think Sami would ask EJ for help at this point. It seems more likely that, even someone as stupid as Sami is, would go to Kate first. Also, why isn't Kate being bombarded with the same calls that Sami is getting? If she is, why isn't she with Sami so they can deal with this together? Ol' Kate could have Mr. Shin eating out of her grubby, bedazzled hand in no time flat. It looks like the writers are already sapping away the strength they gave Sami and Kate to pull off this coup. Now, it's back to the bedroom/kitchen for them since they are only "women," after all.

I really hope Sami slaps that look off Abigail's puss tomorrow or maybe even have her arrested for assault!

I thought the comment about Rafe had to do with when Stefano hired Bernardi to literally 'neuter' him last year. Remember, since the writers want us to forget about everything EJ has done to Sami? LOL

I saw the show, and liked it a lot.
I loved Lucas throughout. His snarks to EJ were fantastic. I could even tolerate EJ today as he told off Sami for being an idiot! And while I wish Abby let Will tell her Sami was responsible for her name being in the article, her scenes with him and Sonny were powerful. I like that Sonny started to feel guilty and came clean to her about having Victor hire him. Abby slapping Sami made the episode for me.

Eric and Nicole are boring. I like that she knows he isn't over her, but c'mon now. The back-and-forth is almost as bad as Jennifer and Daniel, or JJ and Paige.

I love sober Brady. His scenes in the park with Kristen were fantastic. It was also nice to see Roman and Marlena, but Marlena's jacket is hideous!

The secret Sonny is keeping is such juvenile drama that it makes Paige and JJ look like senior citizens! Move this story forward! I also wish Lucas learned that Sami put Abby's name in the article. He still needs to confront his ex-wife about her revenge schemes and how it could hurt their kids and his niece.
 
I laughed at EJ's line about Rafe. EJ must be bored, he keeps playing with his nails.

I thought it was odd Henderson called Eric, Father. It's been a long
time since he's been priest.

Great seeing John even though he's in a coma. I wonder if Kristen noticed
anything looking at the brain scans. All I saw were pretty colors. Maybe Kristen
can take John to the DiMera basement and fix him up there.
They've done it before.

Enjoyed seeing Lucas today. I always enjoy his conversations with EJ.
I wonder if EJ is going to see Victor next.

However, the TV audience is supposed to be so stupid and submissive that we swallow whole anything TIIC create!!

Silly KathyLu! Common sense and logic aren't for soap writers! :wink:
