I respectfully disagree. I like Melanie and Nathan together. They never really got things moving in their relationship, so we only ever got to see the innocent sparks. I think they have chemistry. I can't stand Philip with Melanie and I can't stand Stephanie...period!
Stephanie went from being fun and sweet (and redheaded) to being a ****ty witch to fun and sweet again (with Max...I miss Max) to fun and strong (with Philip) to a ****ty witch again. She needs a new guy!
When I see Philip and Chloe together, it reminds me of when they were high school sweethearts. I'd actually love to see them end up together... with Victor fuming.
When I see Sami and EJ together, I think about when EJ first showed up in Salem and Sami was schoolgirl flustered over him. I loved when they briefly got together...though nothing happened and Lucas was back in. Then I think of when Lucas was in jail and the chemistry that EJ and Sami had, even when she was pregnant and confessing to Lucas how much she loved him.. not to mention confessing to Rafe!
They do have chemistry and the Days writers NEVER allowed us to experience more than a few days of it at a time. Unfortunately, EJ has become more and more slimy and Sami more and more innocent...but those of us who can remember may yearn for that chemistry again. The Days writers NEVER flash back to those good times they once had, and the real feelings.
Too long, I know, but I LOVE Rafe and Nicole!! That was hot!
