Days of Our Lives
Thursday, July 31, 2014

Missed the first 15 minutes of the show. But Sami & Abby go back and forth as Abby really tells Sami off. Sami doesn't seem too bothered, she insults Abby a lot, talking of one night stand, and EJ just needing sex, but Abby holds her own, telling Sami that maybe sex is all she has with EJ, but for them it is different. She talks of t5he art lessons which Sami wanted so she would have something to talk to her husband about on their honeymoon, but probably never really bothered with it any more. She mentions how they discussed art for hours, literature, and no, they were not in love, but they had a connection. She reminds Sami that she already has apologized, and is sorry, but if Sami doesn't back off, Abby is going to come after her, and will do more than Sami ever thought possible.

Victor has offered EJ a consulting job and tells of buying this one DiMera company from Kate & Sami. Ej doesn't believe him, but Victor is smiling, shows him the papers. EJ has a fit, the board is not going to be happy. Oh, but they are, and Victor is very happy, just sitting back and watching it all happen. EJ storms out.

Kristen is baiting Daniel, talking of sending Brady a text message from Daniel, but he tells her Brady is at his fther's bedside. Does she honestly think he will leave John to fly to St. Louis because of a text from Daniel? Then he lets her know he realizes she is recording him, probably to make a recording she makes up from various things he says. Yep, she admits it, has a fab program that will do all that very easily. Daniel shuts up, she leaves the room so her thug can beat up on Daniel, which he does, then makes him drink a bit of water because Kristen needs his voice. The thug unties Dan's one arm, puts the bottle of water in his hand, telling him to drink every drop. Daniel uses his free arm to elbow the guy down, frees himself. When Kristen returns, she sees the empty chair and her goon on the floor. From behind her, Daniel, who is bleeding at his mouth and nose, .
has his hand over her mouth, telling her to be quiet.

Sami sits alone at the desk in the study, pawing thru files, looking at pics in her wedding scrapbook, and flashing back to being in bed with EJ the night before their wedding, and EJ was being all romantic, kissing her shoulder, talking of this being the last night they will be two single people. She eventually turns to face him, as he is demanding she tell him she loves him, she does. Evidently they have sex. Back to the present, as Sami bitterly comments it was the very last time he would touch her...ever! EJ returns, asks Harold if Sami is home. Yes, and then Harold informs him that Miss Deveraux was there, the conversation was not pleasant at all. EJ goes in, Sami ignores him. He babbles about being at Victor's, admonishing her for selling a company, the board will be angry. Nope, all are happy as money pours into their bank accounts. EJ gets nasty, grabs her arm, warning her that if she has to stop this....or....Sami is right back at him. Or what? C'mon, thereaten me, go ahead. Bring it on! She sashays out.

Kate is over at Will's, telling him all the juicy details of the takeover, and what they have been doing. Will is listening intently, asking questions, but now Kate has to leave. He is sorry she did not get to see Arianna. Maybe next time. Hugs. She leaves, Will picks up his phone which he has had recording all the conversation, grabs his laptop, and is hard at work.

Abby comes into the club, tells Ben about losing her job, but she is moving on. Kate comes in, Abby gets a bit defensive, but Kate tells her that while she & Sami are co-CEOs, they have different agendas. Kate has nothing against Abby, who has always been nice to her, and notes that while what she did was wrong, she has moved on, and seems to now be with someone more age appropriate. (Meow!, lol) Kate says her thing is to deal with Stefano. Her appointment comes in, and she leaves.

Earlier, Sonny was talking with Rafe, who is going to visit Gabi, and wants him to take a bunch of pics of Arianna. Rafe agrees. Ben tells him that Jordan is probably at the hospital, he might catch her between appointments.

Sonny now has heard she was with Will, so takes off for home. Will has his article half written, but is glad Sonny is home. They kiss, and it is later when they talk of the article. Sonny is trying to make Will aware it might not be a good idea, but Will thinks everyone is going to learn it all anyway. Sonny agrees, but thinks it should not be from Will. But Will thinks his mom needs to be taught a lesson.

Jordan is with Clyde in a room at the hospital, has something for him. She gives him an envelope containing a cashier's check, saying she had been saving up money to pay him back for the money she took. Wants him to leave now, she will send more later. Clyde says she took his son, and he did not take kindly to that, and says it took him a long time to track them down. He mentions something about what exactly she did "back home", and not thinking she would want anyone to know.
Rafe opens the door, pokes his head in, was looking for her. Clyde says in a really genial voice, "aren't you going to introduce me to your friend?"

That Harold is getting to be quite the snitch, isn't he?

Poirot said:

That's the REAL EJ DiMera!


Why is EJ still in that house? I know new sets are expensive, but he really doesn't need to be living there.
 
Kristen wants to see Brady at least one more time. She claims so she can make sure he is o.k., that she did not ruin his life.
So, I am thinking, if she knows he has taken up with Theresa, and seems to know, I think, that they are married, then she would have to know how Brady sunk into alcohol & drugs, so what is with the "make sure he is o.k. ")
She thinks /thought that the only way to get Brady to where she is, is by Daniel asking him to come. Daniel did make her realize that Brady is not hopping a plane to St. Louis just because Daniel asks him to come. So she doesn't send the text.
 
Kristen really needs to hire better help. Her hired goon was taken out with one blow from the mighty Love Doctor. What did she think was going to happen if Brady ever showed up? He'd have knocked out the thug with one punch and then probably would have strangled Kristen like she was a chicken. Meanwhile the Kate-Sami coup continues its trend towards the ridiculous. Anywhere but Salem, their actions as co-CEOs would have brought a small army of Stefano's lawyers down on their heads and some hired kung fu fighters to the Hong Kong doorstep of the pliant Mr. Shin. As for Abigail, she deserves kudos for being made of far sterner stuff than her prissy, sleeveless mother. Finally, will Jordan please get rid of her deer-in-the-headlights look, tell Rafe everything, and watch while he destroys creepy Clyde and sends him back to Poplar Bluff in pieces.
 
Totally loved Abigail today.....you go girl..... So glad to see that she didn't back down from Sami today.

Victor is awesome as usual, love his comments to EJ .

I am enjoying the Kristen and Daniel scenes. I have to say this is the first time in along time that I am really enjoying the show
 
Abigail had some great lines! LOVED her giving it to Mrs. DiMera:clap: Also how pathetically funny that Sami said all Abby would get to do is "flip burgers" REALLY? Correct me if I'm wrong but Sami never graduated high school correct? That would be the only job Ms. DiMera would be qualified for if this was at all based in reality.

Victor how much do I love thee let me count the ways. LOVED him laughing at Elvis and that parting "congrats" was :rotfl:

Sami is full of self loathing regarding her flashbacks:sick: The chameleon showed his true self with the manhandling. Quite the stark contrast to how he was with Abigail the other day. Loved sneaky Will tape recording Kate, cant wait to see what he writes.

Kristen had some good lines as well. Overall good show. :)
 
You didn't miss much, Poirot, just a boring and useless snippet of Rafe meeting Ben in the coffee house, thinking Jordan is avoiding him. Ben assures Rafe that isn't the case, Jordan is just busy with work.

As for this episode, I am glad Daniel finally got the upper hand. But he really should have tied up that goon! What if he ends up hitting Daniel later on?

I just loved Kate, Victor, sneaky Will (now THAT is the son of Sami Brady and Lucas Horton!), and Abigail. All of them had some great lines. I also liked the part at the end where Sami was standing her ground to EJ.

I practically slept through the Jordan nonsense, so boring, lol.
 
Thanks for the summary. I have yet to watch today's show.

I really wish Will would stay out of this mess. He obviously is not thinking of what others will be affected in his quest to teach Sami a lesson.

So Abby, half of the partly admitted guilty party, is going to go after Sami & throwing what she thought of her & EJ in Sami's face? To me, that shows no remorse & negates any apology. She is being Abby not Abigail in doing that. I wonder if Jennifer will still support her. You made your bed, with EJ, Abigail. Take your whippings like a big girl.
 
I truly find it interesting that those who like Sami & EJ seem to find anything Abby does as negative, while praising Sami.......and then those who don't like Sami w/EJ seem to understand where Abby is coming from, that she groveled in apologies long enough, has taken all that Sami dished out, and now is asking her to back off.

And while there are those here, who have not dealt with a cheating spouse, or the one that person cheated with, I would guess that there are a lot of other unpleasant situations in our personal lives with which we have had to deal, against great odds.

I do understand Sami's anger. I did not understand her nearly caving in to EJ and forgiving him, but backing off from that when their son came running in with his cupcake tales. I understood her confronting Abby in front of her mother, even her telling Ben & I suppose anyone else who would listen. But blackmailing Kayla at the expense of sick children. Is this not the same hospital that took care of Johnny with his eye cancer, surgery, etc? So now she would withhold funding for other children. I truly wish Kayla would have called her bluff, informed the rest of the board, and put that info announcement in the paper.

O.K. now Sami has managed to have Abby jobless, smirking about her flipping burgers. As Dr. Bakerfan said, Sami never finished high school, Abby has a college degree. Who will go further in the long run? Meanwhile, EJ lives at home, is out of jail, no trial mentioned, is going around free as a bird, very confident. So......this little tax evasion charge is just a minor bump in the road for him. So far. When & how does Sami put her claws out to rake EJ over the coals??
 
...and then those who don't like Sami with EJ seem to understand where Abby is coming from,
I guess I'm the exception, then. I don't like Sami and EJ (apart or together), yet I don't understand "where Abby is coming from." As others have said, she made her bed and she needs to suffer the consequences. I hope Sami continues to jab at her every chance she gets, not because I'm on Sami's side, but because Abigail did wrong and she is paying now.

I am disappointed, however, that EJ is not in Sami's sites more than he is.
 
Yep, Abby did wrong, has admitted it. She should probably be jailed, right? Or maybe scrub the Horton Town Square streets with a toothbrush, while Sami stands over her, cracking the whip.

Sorry, folks, But if Abby has to pay, then so does Sami, and she hasn't. But that is the way it is.
 
"I am disappointed that EJ isn't in her sights more than he is"
That right there is EXACTLY why I couldn't care less about Sami being "hurt, humiliated, and made a fool of." "Fool me once, shame on you fool me twice.... shame on me", except this is #....... and it's definitely past time that Sami take some accountability for her poor choices.

I have not watched for a few years because of the over exposure and the :sick::sick: worthiness of the storylines that fixated on this pair and their phony overrated relationship. Inserting them where they were not even needed. FINALLY their goose is cooked and I could not be happier. The sugary sweet persona just does not work for this pair and I am glad that is over for the foreseeable future.

Do I want Sami with anyone else? No, absolutely not. The only place she needs to go to is a room with padded walls. I hear Bayview is taking in new patients.:wink:
 
I enjoyed the show. We even had our nap time today :)

Abby was great. I loved how she told Sami off that EJ only get sex from her.
EJ doesn't talk to her about art or books. Abby even said Ninja Turtle because
Raphael was mentioned. (We saw Salem's Raphael today too)

Kate held the lamb today and we heard some jiggling from her jewelry.

Sonny and Rafe mentioned Gabi.

I heard Clyde and Jordan talking during my nap.

I enjoyed Victor and EJ. Victor bought two pieces of DiMera Enterprises at half price LOL

Will taped Kate. Kristen taping Daniel.

Kristen talked to Daniel about his doctor/surfer voice. I loved how Daniel
saved himself from the goon. Kristen must have hired one of Stefano's.

I'm glad Abby told Ben about losing her job. Wouldn't it be interesting if Kate gave her one?
