Friday, May 23rd -- update, see post #34

Thanks for the write up!



But EJ did the exact same thing with Johnny and Sami has done the same thing with both babies. They are all equally guilty of that. He hasn't run all over yet; he's just threatening, too.

Well, you're right there. I forget the details sometimes. I'm just a little biased, too, I think. I was rather enjoying my Sami and EJ moments. And not missing Lucas because the writers have him yelling or scowling:rant: all of the time. It's not pleasant to watch or read about.
 
Bless your heart, DJ.....and thank you. I don't know what I am going to do while the feed I get is going all over the place, and moving around so much.

No problem, I just think it is so great of you to do this for us everyday. It sure makes watching the show so much more fun. Love ya.
 
EJ with his Bleeding Heart...Anyone have a knife I can borrow

:rant::rant:I HATE HATE HATE EJ. What gives him the right to slink around the mansion eavesdropping on conversations between Lucas and Sami. Someone hand him a tissue, his feelings are hurt. The woman he loves jumps out of bed and runs after another man... I say keep on running Sami and never look back. So many easily forget this is the same man who, when Sami was pregnant, almost sent her over the edge showing up all over Salem pretending to be dead (remember the bathroom scene at Chez Rouge when Sami found him in the stall). Thank Heavens Lucas is back to rescue her from this "redeemed" psycho.
 
The best part for me today was when Sami and Lucas are in Sami's room KISSING and Marlena wanted to go check on Sami. John answered no she is most likley entertaining.I just had to laugh. Can't wait til tomorrow to see if it goes any further.

ITA wow I forgot about that too. See that just backs up my feelings of how much EJ is evil. He has hurt so many people and done so many evil things and has never once had to pay for his crimes. Infact instead of being punished he has somehow worked his way into Sami's life and heart. I just wish they would bring to light all the evil EJ has caused before trying to redeem him.
 
I am so lovin the Sami/EJ scenes

I haven't posted much (if anything) but, I love to read the Days Ahead and I greatly appreciate all of the time and effort everyone puts into it. I constantly tell my friend at work (who loves getting the Days Ahead) of the whitty comments you all make on the forums. I have been back and forth on whether or not I like EJ or not...I really wanted Sami and EJ together when she was Stan...he seemed to accept Sami as she is/was. But, Lucas did too. I fought long and hard on the Sami/Lucas thing. I cannot get past the chemistry Sami and EJ have...I used to think that about Lucas but, lately it appears all he does is scream, yell and verbally attack Sami. He reminds me of an abusive husband...he appears to be controlling and is somewhat manupulating. I wish the writers would again make Lucas like the old Lucas...who loved Sami in spite of her faults and defended her to all...didn't scream and yell and put her on a Princess Pedestal. In the past, it seemed Lucas was the only one to stand by her but I would say in the last year or two, he seems to be the one mistreating her. I've babbled and gone back and forth. I think EJ is just hot and I love their chemistry...sorry...I have to vote or EJAMI (today at least)
 
Well, someone sent me a video of the show, and I know this is late, but I am going to try and summarize but use DJ's summary as the basis. And add things. Come back in about 1/2 hour, anyone who is around and interested. LOL
 
No Saint but better that the Bully

EJ is no saint, but at least he treats Sami with respect. She gets walked on by Lucas constantly. Who does he think he is that he can take his daughter anywhere considering that he is a "convict". Plus no judge in the world would let him have his daughter with a felony. EJ gived attention to bot kids while lucas just focuses on Allie. That is showing how evil he is, to judge a child for the father's sins. I hope that Sami realizes that HER children deserve better. I also hope that she realizes that she does have deep feelings for EJ and the writers finally get them together. I really think Nicole and Lucas are great together or even him and Chelsea or Morgan. Make a better storyline other than him always angry and yelling. How can anyone in Salem stand him.

:smile: I so agree with you!!!!

I too at one time liked Sami and Lucas or maybe I just hated him so much with Carrie that I couldn't wait for him and Sami to end up.

However once EJ came on the show it was instant chemistry......and chemistry it has been. They are really HOT together, wow!!!!

The last scene that I enjoyed Lucas was there wedding day when he acted like a man and told Sami that it did not matter what he had to tell him because he loved her no matter what. Even though it was a little aggravating because she wanted to tell him about possibly caring EJ's baby and Lucas kept interrupting, which went on FOREVER, but it was sweet of him! All of this rage and yelling that Lucas does makes him a little scary to me.

And I sure hope they do not put EJ and Nicole together or EJ and Chloe. I do not like either one of them! I LOVED Chloe when her and Brady were together and was so sad when she left the show, but I do not care for her character now. Nicole has just always been a gold digger, so she does nothing for me.

Just my two cents.....:D
 
I disagree that Lucas is evil but he is hot-headed and LOUD! I also don't see why he is being faulted because he didn't ask to see Johnny too. It doesn't mean he doesn't love him because he's Sami's son but, even in his anger and disappointment, he may have realized that he had no right to demand or even ask to see Johnny.
 
Days of Our Lives - Friday, May 23rd, 2008

Lexie sits in the hospital locker room with Daniel, talking of being tired, and then mentioning her problems at home. She & Abe just never agree on anything, even finances, and especially how to treat Theo. He has not been speaking, yes, she has him seeing a speech therapist, who has recommended an evaluation by a child psychologist. She has not told Abe, he thinks she hovers. Daniel suggests she go ahead, if the report is good, all is well. If not.......then they have a head start. She thanks him, and now is out at work. Later Abe arrives and wants to spend time with Lexie, suggesting breakfast. Lexie starts to put him off saying that she is busy, they argue about making time for each other, (she points out how he barely had time for her at the cop shop when she brought him lunch) but in the end agrees to have breakfast with him.

At the pub Chelsea and Morgan are studying for finals. Philip comes and talks with Morgan. they kibitz a bit, her dad calls. Philip makes some remark, she is angry about problems with her Dad. Philip says he broke the law and would have to pay. John arrives and says that will never happen. Philip tells him to butt out, as Morgan chastises him for listening to other people's private conversations. John leaves. Morgan rejoins Chelsea.

Back at the mansion, Marlena brings in a breakfast tray to Sami, who isn't hungry. She wonders if Lucas ever forgive her. We have a very emotional mother/daughter talk now, as Marlena says that it is hard to tell and that she needs to talk with Lucas. Sami tries to make excuses, Marlena tells her not to try and put the blame for this on Lucas, to take responsibility herself for what she did. Sami says that she can not face Lucas, all she sees in his face is anger, disappointment and betrayal. But if only he had called, it never would have happened. Again Marlena tells her that she cannot put this onto Lucas. Sami claims he was going to be in prison forever, leave Allie without a father and EJ was so good with the twins, it would have been easier if EJ was a bad father, but he wasn't.

Meanwhile, downstairs, EJ has joined Lucas who is sitting with Allie and they talk of the situation. EJ chides him about the excitement last night, seems someone tried to leave and the cops had to come. Now he suggests since they all have to live together, they do it civilized. Lucas suggests he move out....which does not set well with Sami & Marlena who just walked in. Lucas sort of makes fun of EJ's accent as he repeats the "civilized" comment, and tells him a British accent doesn't make him civilized. EJ says no, but actions do. Marlena tells them to stop....she picks up Allie, saying the twins need a healthy environment as she takes Allie for a nap. EJ asks Lucas what he is going to tell the twins about the monitor as they are growing so quickly and will soon ask (LOL) Lucas says not to worry. Rolf brings a gift of a bottle of wine with a note from Nicole thanking him for last night. She flies off the handle, EJ says it was only a business dinner, she is a client. Sami isn't buying it, calling Nicole names. Lucas decides to leave them to their bicker, she calls him back. He just remarks they are in love, Sami says no, he reminds her she had sex with him, EJ pops up with "we made love, and Samantha enjoyed it as much as me. Sami says, no, then yes, then "he didn't force me". Lucas tells them both he will get a judge to make different arrangements, and he will be living and taking his daughter with him. EJ tells him that Sami has been a good mother and has done a good job while Lucas was gone. Lucas thanks Sami taking care of the twins, for being good with them, and then thanks her for sleeping with EJ, for sleeping with the man he hates the most, and finally, thank you very much for sleeping with a DiMera. He leaves.

Back at the pub Chelsea and Morgan are talking about Dr Dan. Chelsea admits she does not know what is going on with Dr Dan. Philip comes back to talk with Morgan privately, telling her he will get the DA to go easy on her dad if he will give him what he knows about John.

Lexie and Abe enjoyed breakfast and agree they should do it once a week. They start to talk about Theo, but Abe gets a phone call from the station. As he talks on his cell, Dr. Dan talks to Lexie about her problems. Abe gets off the phone, Dan leaves, and Lexie decides to talk about Theo another time. Abe asked about Dr Dan and is angry that Lexie spoke to him about their problems. She is sorry, and wants to know why he is so upset. Thru clenched teeth he tells her it is because he doesn't know her anymore.

Roman arrives at John's to investigate the theft of the disc. Marlena and Roman agree that no one should know about this. Marlena has to leave, but returns later with John, who is not happy about Roman being there, he did not want cops. She reminds him roman is only doing this as a friend, but John barely gets out.......he is your EX!

Chloe arrives at Pub, joining Philip and Morgan, asking how they met etc. She spots Morgan's text books, cooing about Philip trolling the campus for college freshman. Philip hustles her away.

Dr Dan is now at the pub sits with Chelsea and Morgan. Morgan leaves for her internship, & Daniel tells Chelsea if she has something to say say it. He then goes on to tell her that he only cares for her as a friend. She says she needs someone who loves her 100% and that was Nick, but she left him so she could be with Dr Dan. Dr Dan says he is sorry for that.

As Chloe begins to go out....she bumps into EJ, who invites her to have a coffee. She accepts, they sit down. Philip makes a call , asking if it is done yet.

Sami is in her room crying, fingering the wedding ring that Lucas gave her, and Rolf brings her warm milk, it is relaxing. She thinks it tastes disgusting, he offers to add a bit of whiskey from his flask to it. (Hmmm, wonder if Nicole dropped hers there, lol) but she says no, still morning. She asks him if he has ever done anything so bad that he regretted it while he was doing it. He replies ...look at who you are asking ....more time then I can count. She asks how he can live with himself. He tells her the past is gone, but one can control the future. She says she wants to see Lucas, who walks in at that time. Sami apologizes to Lucas and takes the blame for what happened. She is sorry for yelling, sorry for blaming him, sorry for what happened, she regrets it, wishes it never happened, is sorry. Lucas tells her that he stayed awake every night in prison because all he could think about was this....... and he kisses her.

Marlena wants to go and check on Sami, but John tells her to knock first, that she is most likely entertaining. Roman comes in.....John does not want him there, and is really about to bodily escort him out.....but Marlena talks to him, getting John to agree to let Roman help.

Back at the pub. everyone hears sirens, Chloe notes Police cars are arriving at the dock. Roman gets a phone call, hangs up, saying there is a problem down on the docks with John's shipment.

Barb.....and DJM

And I cannot forget Marylina, who sent me the video.....with NO commercials, lol. Thank you so much!!! (I mentioned this in first post, but realize some won't read that.)
 
She is playing with it, as she lays on the bed. She twists and turns it in her hands.
 
You're welcome, Barb. It sucks when you don't have the feed to do your summary. I was just happy to help out but you could have had it sooner if I hadn't lost the earlier feed as well. Oh well.

What can you say about technology?
 
I'm late coming in, but I feel like starting the day w/o your synopsis even though I have prevuze is like leaving the house with one shoe off. I need the FULL STORY!!!

So after you wonderfully recapping, I just dont know how I feel about Lexie and Abe. I returned to the show back in 2006 and I don't remember them getting this much screen time (though I know JR was out a lot last year for his heart surgery). I don't want to be cruel but if they are having this many problems after being married for so long and going through everything else, can't they just break up? I'm annoyed Abe wants to stop by and expect Lexie to drop everything to see him but OTOH, I can't blame Abe for being upset she's so chatty with Daniel especially given her past affairs.

I'm really disappointed that Morgan is so supportive of Chelsea dating Daniel. I just would like one person (other than Bo who doesn't count being her father) would frown on the relationship and ask her how she really thinks she and this guy she appears to have nothing in common with would make it work? Bonus points if someone brings up how she is acting practically the same way she did upon meeting Jett last summer.

I can't care much about Chloe, I try, but I so prefer Philip with Morgan right now.
 
Thanks to ALL of you who helped give us a preview of tomorrow! What is the matter with Lexie anyway? It seems like she just always wants to avoid Abe, as though she can't stand to be around him and is irritated by his very presence. And here she goes talking again when she shouldn't. Can't blame Abe for being upset that she was talking to Dan about their marriage problems. I hope the writers can figure out something interesting to do with Chloe. She isn't doing anything but trolling these days, so far with Philip, and now is she going to get interested in E.J.? And Chelsea has brought up Nick? I wonder if she is just trying to rub that in the doctor's face or whether she is beginning to think she screwed up by dumping him.
