R.I.P EJole

As a member of TeamEjami I could be considered biased in my assessment of Ejole; and maybe I am. But as a fan of Arianne Zucker and as one who loves-to-hate Nicole, I feel the death of Ejole is necessary for the preservation of Nicole Walker.

But recently things have changed. Nicole is just a fragment of the strong, spunky girl we used to see stirring up trouble and controversy. What we see now is a crying, weak, pathetic mess. What happened? EJ Dimera happened.

Maybe at one time Ejole had a chance. Nicole Walker always did accept EJ Dimera for who he was/is. On the surface, Nicole is perfect for EJ.  There's just one problem. EJ doesn't see it, nor does he want to. How many times does EJ have choose someone over Nicole before she gets it? Sami, Taylor, Sami again.

Now here is Nicole begging EJ to move away with her, to start over with her, to put her first over family, job, and past loves.  What does EJ do? He tells her what a silly idea it is and refuses to do it.  Seriously, Nicole. Do you have no pride?

EJ has done some pretty awful things to Sami and her family. But one thing EJ has never done is choose someone over Sami.  She was always his first choice. And if EJ was honest with himself, Sami still is. We know it hurts, Nicole.  We know you're sad, but you need to move on. You deserve someone who loves you wholly and completely, above anyone else.  You deserve to be more than second or third choice.

What do you think? Should Nicole go back to EJ or should she find someone who puts her first?

Next Week on Days - Sami and Lucas in Bed! and Sami and EJ get close!

Next week on Days, EJ spots Sami and Lucas kissing and is not happy.  EJ claims it's because he doesn't want another man setting up house with his children but we all know EJ still loves his Samantha and doesn't like to see her with other men. ;) Kate also sees Sami and Lucas kiss and is furious.  She confronts Lucas, then storms off to see Madison. Madison and Kate decide to work together to take Sami down.  When Kate returns to see Lucas she finds Lucas and Sami in bed together! EEK! (May 2, 2012)

Meanwhile, EJ has another confrontation with Stefano and later discovers the paternity papers that Stefano left in the open. Ej confronts Stefano who admits he doesn't know who EJ's real father is. Believing he is no longer a Dimera and realizing Chad will soon be handed everything EJ ever wanted, EJ seeks out Sami's company.  Sami and EJ have drinks together and things get close! (May 4, 2012)

Next week sounds great for Lumi fans, but it sounds good for Ejami fans too. Do you think it is a good idea for Sami to go to bed with Lucas?

Stefano Dimera is not EJ's Father

For months now, and for seemingly no reason, Stefano has been secretly sabotaging EJ and EJ's attempts to show his father that he is worthy of heading Dimera Enterprises. EJ recently learned Stefano attempted to rig the mayoral election to make it appear as if EJ had lost. EJ also learned that Stefano had stolen all the money EJ had siphoned from Basic Black. So, why was Stefano doing these things? According to the current Days of Our Lives writers, EJ is not Stefano's son.

Rumor has it that John Black will be Ej's father. If you remember, back in 2007 during the Colleen Brady and Santo Dimera storyline it was revealed that John Black was Colleen's and Santo's son. Colleen had fled to Argentina leaving her habit on the edge of a cliff leading everyone to believe Colleen was dead.  There she gave birth to Santo's son and named him Ryan.  She gave him to an orphanage and Ryan was later adopted by the Alamain family and grew up as John Black.  The Colleen/Santo storyline made John Black a Brady and a Dimera. 

If the rumors are true, EJ will still be a Dimera but also a Brady which leads to some troubling problems for Ejami.  If EJ is John's son then EJ is Colleen's grandson, and Sami is Colleen's grandniece meaning Sami and Ej's grandparents were brother and sister.  It all sounds a bit incestuous if you ask me.

This kind of thing is exactly why the writer's should leave the history of Days of Our Lives alone. There is no reason to rewrite it and it causes all sorts of unexpected problems. Here's hoping the new writer's fix this ridiculous rewrite.

Do you think this rewrite is a bad idea? Or are you excited about the possibilities if EJ were John's son?

Johnny Dimera to be on FOX Pilot

Aaron and Griffin Kunitz, twins who play Johnny Dimera on Days of Our Lives, have landed the role of "Jeremy" on a new pilot for FOX entitled "Let it Go".  The show has not yet been picked up and word is expected in May as to whether or not it will be. If it is picked up, DOOL may lose two of their cutest cast members.  No word as to whether or not they will do both shows. Will you be sad to see them go?

Sami and Lucas Kiss

News is out that Sami and Lucas will share a kiss this week on Days of Our Lives. I can't say I'm happy although I have enjoyed Lucas as Sami's BFF these past few weeks.

Lucas receives a call from Autumn breaking things off with him. Sami feels it's her fault since Lucas had said time and time again that he came back to Salem to help Sami. Sami offers Lucas a job at Countess W. and Lucas decides to accept because he has overheard Kate plotting revenge against Sami and feels Sami needs someone in her corner. Lucas and Sami share a day together with Will and Allie and when Will takes Allie off to get ice cream, Sami thanks Lucas for helping Sami get on better terms with Will.  This interaction leads to a passionate kiss. See the video HERE.

According to an interview Bryan Datillo (Lucas) gave a few months back, Sami and Lucas will end up in bed together.  It's anyone's guess how that will play out, but I am hoping it's simply a "friends with benefits" situation. Sami and Ej have never really been given the chance at a real romance. I'm hoping the writer's do not throw Lumi together again without first giving Ejami a real shot.

What do you think? Are you ok with a Lumi pairing again? Or do you hope it's just a one time thing?

Ejami's Fate Depends on New Head Writers

For months after Ej and Sami's grief sex, we saw a bare minimum of interaction between the two and began to feel as if it were a dream.  "What happened?", we began to wonder. And then it happened.
We see EJ walking through Horton Square. He spots a forlorn Sami leaning against a rail. EJ turns away and our hearts drop. We plead with him to turn around, to go back, don't walk away. As if he hears us, he turns and goes to her.  And we knew he would. He had to go back because she's his Samantha. She's sad and alone and as much as he'd like to pretend he doesn't love her we know he does.
And so began Ejami once again. Our hopes soar.  Maybe this time it'll happen.  Maybe this time Ejami will get a fair chance.  Then the news came.  Head writers of "Days of Our Lives" have been fired. Again. A new writing team is being brought in. Again. So, what does that mean for Ejami? Will they be torn apart again before being given a chance?  I guess we'll have to wait till August to find out.

If you're a Team Ejami fan, you'll love Team Delena

EJ Dimera and Samantha Brady's romance over the years has been one of my all-time favorite couplings in tv history.  They have chemistry and passion that surpasses all others. But then there's Delena. **Swoon**  If you don't watch CW's Vampire Diaries, you should.

I know.  You've heard it's like Twilight or one of the countless other vampire movies, but it isn't.  It's so much more than vampires and cute boys running around with their shirts off. But yes, it has all of that too. The love triangle between the three main characters (Stefan Salvatore, Elena Gilbert, and Damon Salvatore) is one of the most beautifully written love stories I have ever had the pleasure of watching.

If you love falling in love with your characters, if you love yearning with them and crying with them, if you love holding your breath as the passion unfolds on your screen, if you love the anticipation of that first touch, that first kiss - you'll love this show.  You don't even have to be a teenager, although you may occassionally squeal like one.

 Check out the video below featuring Elena Gilbert and Damon Salvatore (Delena).  You'll be hooked.
