Great drama today and an old-fashioned showdown. I thought the scenes in the Dimera living room were very satisfying, but I hated that it became all about Taylor's reaction and trying to convince Taylor about what EJ had done. The scenes seemed to revolve around Taylor and, in my opinion, took away from the culmination of this story. There was plenty of drama without Taylor. It would have been more powerful IMO if she had not been present.
Thoughts?

I think she needed to be there to hear and I am glad she was there for that part, but you are right, the focus did not need to be on her. I want to see the little twit get what is coming to her almost more than I want to see the DiMera's go down.

Agreed...Taylor's "stand by your man" act got a little bit too much. It took some away, but Sami did stand her ground and really threw it at EJ (and Taylor). The way that Sami/Bo both emphasized the accessory to rape charges was fantastic, though.

I'm glad she was there to witness all the hatred against EJ. I was sick to my stomach tho that she was defending him ugh

I think she should have stayed in the background and just listened to what was going on. The way that Stefano for the most part stayed out of it.

That's the biggest problem with this (former) writing team, the fact they don't realize who should be the focus of the storylines. Like how Melanie became the focus after the reveal of Parker's paternity.

Yes! Thank you! Why are they all trying to convince Taylor that EJ did this?! Why not arrest him and press charges? What does it matter what Taylor thinks?
And of course she had to go there: "What I really want to know is why Sami was lying on the floor wearing MY MOTHER'S CAMEO!!!"

It's just as Mikey mentioned before, why is the cameo the important matter? Your mother is dead but let's worry about the tacky cameo!

I was in total shock that question came out of her mouth. I mean come on Taylor. I understand her wanting to have her mothers killer brought to justice and that she is confused as hell as to what was going on. But with everything that had just been said, she asked why Sami was wearing the cameo? She never fails to make me realize what a lame brain, idiotic, stupid stupid character she is. Ugh.

How on earth did TPTB think we would love this character?! Trying to tolerate her is challenging enough. I can't even do that!

Taylor is a moron!! I love how they threw it in her face that SHE HEARD RAFE admit to killing her mother while she standing there "defending her man" and staring at not one but TWO Rafes. I don't care about the d**n cameo and never did. it's ugly as sin just like Taylor's character.
I'm glad she was there tho to hear it all come out so that EJ couldn't sugar coat what was said. I just hope Nikki walks in in the midst of it all and really lets EJ have it now that the cat is out of the bag...
I absolutely loved the showdown tho! That is what this show has been missing for so long. I'm so glad that Sami stood her ground and the look on Taylor's face when they threw rape in there was priceless. I alos loved how Rafe2 kept looking at them with that smug grin of his like, they've got you by the brass now!!

I liked how Rafe1 was also standing there looking smug. He was a primary victim of all this, but he stood back and let Sami have her moment. He even looked like he was proud of her.

I noticed that too. I loved how he would interject at just the right time with few little words: "What about my testimony about being held in the basement and then a mental institution?" and then drift to the back and watch the fallout like a spectator at a wrestling match.
I was surprised at the way that Bo stood back and let her have her moment as well. I'm so glad (and almost proud of them all) that they all stood back and let her have it tho. EJ deserved every bit that she dished out to him and so much more. Hope they continue this way next week and we see Sami REALLY let loose on him.
