I know EJ is no angel. But it's getting kind of old that every time something horrible happens everyone immediately blames EJ. They are usually wrong and they waste so much time trying to find proof that he's guilty they miss the actual guilty party. It's awful plot point writing to extend the "drama" in the storyline. Just like everyone (except EJ & Stefano) wringing their hands and extoling the virtues of Rafe The Magnificent like his ass isn't a deficient hypocrite. Not to mention, when other characters are accusing him, they act like they've NEVER broken the law or done something selfish/illegal/nefarious. Nicole, Brady, Daniel, Lucas, Kate, & Caroline especially need to keep their traps shut with their respective histories of nasty or illegal shit. Hope's not far behind either cause it wasn't too long ago she was whacking men in the back of the head while on her generic Ambien & tried to set Bo on fire cause she had such deep-seated anger for him. Then Hope was broken out of jail by Bo after being sentenced (I won't even get into how ludicrous that was when she's also a cop). It's hard for me to take scenes like the everyone vs EJ stuff seriously when I can name THEIR crimes as well as I can name his crimes. It's one thing to suspect him but when they start adding self-righteous judgment like they've never even squashed an ant to it, I just roll my eyes while my hand itches to FF those scenes. The hypocrisy is JUST too strong. It's heavy handed, BAD writing without the nuances to handle that no one in the room is without any serious sins IMO.

I agree it is a bore, but I did enjoy the Lumi/Rafe stuff. EJ seemed pretty pleased to be back in his father's good graces and Stefano is not going to let Sami stand in his way. Stefano has gotten between EJami before, so I'm sure he will some how use Will is a pawn if it will get him what he wants. Rafe wants to protect his sister and he would keep Will's secret if it will keep Gabi's. They are both in the same boat here. He could also look the other way while they get the evidence and take any they migh have about Gabi with them. I want the boys to get involved. I wish that Lucas would go to them and tell them what Sami and EJ are up too. He's right, it's going to cause them more trouble. I saw and see the opposite of about 75% of this. Heh.

On a shallow note, Vargas could get it. Yes, indeed, I like the look of him.

Thanks for posting. I like that EJ/Sami are going to try and help, but I found the EJami scenes gross. I found them totally entertaining and perfect for the characters ;D. Those scenes were pure, old school soap. Reminds me of some of the UK old school soaps I loved like " Footballers Wives" and " Mile High." But regardless, it helps fill in gaps for other branches of the story that are to soon intertwine.

I know some are watching Wilson only clips but it's important to the story to see the background of what's going on with other players in the story since so much is coming together in the TeamNick vs TeamWill storyline. So in saying that, please check out: www.youtube.com/user/krono789?feature=watch If you're already watching the whole story, just disregard the link above.

Listening to Will making excuses to Sonny for how Nick is behaving... thank God Sonny actually put some thought to the situation.

The sad thing is, only time Will shows ANY fire in this storyline is when he's talking about Sami. Otherwise, he's totally defeatist.

Just to clarify something since there have been complaints about this...
Actor bashing is not having a problem with an actor's portrayal in the sense that you think an actor fell flat in a scene or overacted/chewed scenery in another scene. You can post disappointment and not have it be bashing. It's all about tone and context.
It is bashing to constantly harp on an actor's looks negatively or call the actor nasty names.
You can be critical of an actor without going overboard and being nasty about the actor. Conversely, not every critique of an actor is bashing. For example, my belief that Camila Banus is a terrible actress and my saying it as such, especially in context to a scene/episode, is not bashing. If I were to call her names and constantly repost nasty comments about her, especially out of context to a scene or episode, that's bashing.

Freddie always looked good to me. I never understood the hysteria because he wasn't twinkish thin. As for the rest, I've learned to accept that this signature couple has no chemistry at all. It's a shame since they're both such talented actors playing important core characters on the show, but it what it is. Reminds me of the times Thore got called fat/chubby on VL. It's in the eye of the beholder and I see nothing wrong with how Freddy looks but I've always thought that criticisms like that may have more than just the reflection of the character behind them. Also, another promo for this week:

Camilla, bless her heart, is very good at "Angry" and "Bitchy" They should just give her more reasons to do those Anything else is just sad to watch. She actually managed to surpass GG in terms of bad acting choices in this scene. I'm back to focusing on how pretty her hair is to get through scenes. Also, tweets from today's fan event Orlando about some of her answers in the Q & A have me somewhat side-eying CB. (See pretty thorough recaps of events from timeline here of the fan event today: twitter.com/eleese21 )

The Abby stuff is completely out of line. The message they are sending to young women is wrong. It would be more interesting if Cameron was a virgin, which given the way he acts he might be, but that would be more unusual and kind of shameful. So now I'm wondering if this is where they are going. I totally agree, skeeming Sami is playing this all wrong. Her initially attacting Gabi after the wedding made sense, but just like she knows her type, she also knows that the more you're attacted the more defensive you are going to get. I'm not liking this Sami at all. It's not only an embarrassment of a storyline but it's a re-write cause Abby was screwing Chad when the other writers were on (not show, but was strongly hinted they were knocking boots). Regardless... NO BUENO. Every time this storyline comes on, I think "you've got to be kidding?!". Poor Kate Mansi. Meanwhile, I'm having to watch Camila Banus poorly act her way through the actually meaty storyline.

This thread has become a mess. More than a few people are being unnecessarily rude and there is a mixture of shit stirring & stubborn attitudes creating an unpleasant atmosphere. I've said it before... everyone is entitled to an opinion but you don't have to be an asshole about it.
Post your thoughts on the show & characters but leave what other posters think be. It's not your job to convince them your opinion is the "right" opinion. Just disagree and MOVE ON. These circular discussions and/or trying to get the last word as proof you're "right" needs to stop.
It's to the point where the mods are tired of issuing warnings and trying to give people the benefit of the doubt. We'll start banning. May be temporary or permanent but take this warning seriously. The pettiness and intransigence by some is draining the fun out of talking about this show.
Think before you post and remember this is not a chat thread either.
Thanks.

The general discussion thread was closed for a reason. That doesn't mean post current stuff HERE. This is still the discussion thread for spoilers.

So Sami wants EJ to get rid of Nick? Is that why they put EJami back together? I don't think so. Sami telling EJ she wants Nick gone doesn't mean she's asking him to do it. Sami can do her own dirty deeds. I think the difference is Sami is confiding to her boyfriend what she plans to do. At least that's the read I got out of it. ::shrugs::

I'm seeing a lot of off-topic posts about the past, the present, random chatting and also wild speculation that has little to nothing to do about actual spoilers in the past several days. STOP. Those posts belong in the general discussion thread.
I don't want to have to lock the thread cause people get too excited or too anxious and disregard the rules... again. Or suspend people from posting for an unspecified amount of time so they can calm down.
Thanks.

I heard that kate may not be able to fire nick once she hears about what he did to Will. It was stated in yesterday's show that part of Nick's contract was Kate couldn't fire him for a year after the start of his employment.
