Thanks for the wonderful post Kazz. I was very much looking forward to your commentary on these spoilers and you didn't disappoint. I completely agree with your assessment of this. Especially the fact that this is the end of Sami and Days. I truly can't see either one being redeemed from this. And the thing is, the damage is already done even if they do try to rewrite this as a dream sequence or whatever. All that will do is try to cover up a stunt with another stunt. It won't work. At least not for this viewer.
I suppose I'll watch these scenes only because it's like watching a horrible car wreck, you just can't take your eyes off it. But I have no desire to watch Sami try to cover her tracks to keep this from Rafe and have this be a catalyst for Will to become Sami 2.0, as the writers are saying. I suppose the timing of this coinciding with the birth of my son is good. I'll be so busy/tired to even miss watching this crap show.
Seriously, at this point, the only thing that would make Days watchable after this is if there's a double murder or suicide (EJ/Sami) getting both characters off the screen. Then maybe they can put Rafe and Nicole together and she can finally be happy and have that baby!

Awesome post Kazz! I agree with every single thing you said. I too feel that Ali should have stood up for her character. If she had the clout to bring back Carrie & Austin, which I what I've read, then she should have had the clout to refuse to do these scenes.
Sparkster, I agree about a Sami and/or EJ suicide. That would get me to watch, because I won't be watching this sick violent sex episode or any future episodes at this point. Sami should WANT to kill herself after she finds out that Johnny was hiding in the pub the whole time plus EJ is the one who framed John.

Well Kazz you said everything I could say and more. I'll add a few more things though.
First off-I was a devoted Sami Brady fan until yesterday. I can't fathom having her ever be romantically involved with the guy I thought she should be with (Lucas). My perception of her changed completely. She is now too much of a slut for me to talk about, let alone want with someone like Lucas. I can't ever say that in a soap no one cheats, but that was one of the LAST qualities that was true to Sami Gene Brady and sure she got away with it in 2008 using a technicality, but at that time, I could blame her betrayal of Lucas on a lot of things including some of Lucas' behavior leading up to that night. However, this time around, I can't do that. Her husband is there, next to her supporting her and I'm not even a Rafe lover or GG fan, so I can see where Safe fans might be blowing smoke out of their ears at this point. Rafe has done NOTHING but support Sami, cover her but, lose his job, track to South America to find evidence of Ej's scheme with Sydney while Sami moved her butt into the Dimera Mansion and started massaging Ej's shoulders, kissing and making out with him, but in 2010 they had enough sense to stop what was occurring, maybe because by the time she moved into the DImera Mansion Days had lost a substantial amount of viewers. So what do they do this time, they hit everyone by surprise....the General Audience won't see this coming, but if Days thinks that will stop them from tuning out and writing the mags in disgust over this they have something coming.
I won't write, I won't tune in, my time is done with this show. I have tried for too many years to advocate for something to repair Sami, but they don't listen so I won't try further. Sometimes silence IS the only thing that works. Maybe silence is the only thing that this show truly needs at this point. No more tweets to TPTB, no more posting, no more of anything. Indifference is truly the only thing that makes changes. Loving and Hating don't do it, because there is enough of both to keep the discussion going, but when people become apathetic and simply don't give a crap about the show, then maybe they can rectify some of what they have done.
AT this stage, the ONLY and I mean ONLY thing that will bring me back would be the return of Bryan Dattilo. NOTHING else will make me tune into this show ever again. If he does return, I want Nicole to seek comfort in Lucas when she finds out what Ej did with Sami and I want Lucas to be there supporting her. I want her to hit the bottle hard, and get into an accident that almost kills her and I want Lucas by her side helping her as they had grown closer before the accident. I want to see Nicole look at Lucas with love in her eyes and I want Lucas to begin to fall for her. That would truly make for some amazing story, they have a history already but their story sucked, it was too plot driven. Now though, if written correctly with two strong actors, this could take off and I'd be the first cheering it on. Just so you can know, I go by another name on other boards including DR, until yesterday I was one of the most vocal supporters of Lucas and Sami as a couple and I advocated for their reunion if Lucas would have returned. But not anymore. I am done with wanting Sami (this Sami) with Lucas. Unless there is a total reset and by that I mean go back to 2006, Ej should be in Will's age group and be HIS love interest instead of his mother's, then I am officially done forever with shipping Lumi. If they wanted to silence the Lumi fanbase, and maybe that was their intent, then they have achieved it. Lucas deserves so much more than a lying, cheating, whore....oh... where have I heard that before? Oh Lucas, you knew her so well....

My SOD arrived today. I don't really appreciate the word sex in huge letters on the cover. I am obviously not a prude but I have a 7 year old who doesn't need to read that on the cover.

If anyone really wants to send a message to Days that they will listen to, allow yourself to get behind on the show for one week and stay that way. You don't have to give up watching the show altogether to rob Days of ratings and send a strong message. Simply don't watch the episodes within the first week that they air.

It only matters if you have a Neilsen box doesn't it? Or a DVR that's wired in to that. Since I have neither they have no idea if I watch or not.

Not to suggest you're behind the times Fluffy  ... but yes I was referring to those of us with DVRs. |

Kazz, first of all, your post was excellent. Great job. For the past several years, I have NOT been watching the show live. I usually tape it and watch when I'm in the mood to do so. As for EJ/Sami, I just hope when both Rafe and Nicole find out the truth, they both permanently turn their backs on them. There are limits to what people should have to endure and what Sami and EJ do Friday/Monday is UNFORGIVABLE, period. Even though I HATE what is about to happen, I'm curious to see the fallout. Hopefully, EJ/Sami will pay dearly for their actions.

At the risk of being reamed out,I wrote to Marlene about how disgusted I was by this.On the flip side though,we've all been wanting Sami back,and this is typical Sami,act before thinking.Her impulses take over and her brain shuts down.Would she be doing this if she was thinking straight?No.In moments of high emotion though,Sami has been known to strike out and become self destructive,so those of us who complain our characters are no longer in character,well,Sami has just become "in character"once again.Personally I won't be watching the sex scene,but I WILL be watching the fall out just to see how it's handled.
