Was Sami selfish in the way she handled Will's coming out?

Last week on Days of Our Lives, Will finally revealed to Sami and Lucas that he is gay. Sami had a rough time dealing with this revelation. Sami insisted Will was just confused because he had been going through alot lately. Eventually, Sami bolted from the room.

Do you think Sami handled the situation well?

Sami Keeping It Real

Did anyone else love it on Thursday's episode of Days of Our Lives when Sami confronted Rafe and told him that the Salem Six were "unbelievably selfish" to pretend they were dead and put their families through hell.  This is why I love Sami.  She's the only one that had the balls to say what everyone else was thinking. Hell, it's what I was thinking.  How cruel were Marlena, John, Hope, Bo, Rafe, and Carrie (the latter for all sorts of reasons we won't get in to now) to have their families believe they were dead?  Did they even consider for a second how that would affect the smallest of their loved ones? Can you imagine if someone had told poor Ciara that her Mommy and Daddy were dead? The whole plan to let everyone believe they were dead seemed mean and unnecessary especially if Shane and Roman were going to tell the truth the following day. 

I loved how Sami refused to apologize for her outburst and told Lucas she would not "relax"!  Way to go, Sami.  Thanks for saying what I so desperately wanted to say!  Here's another example of how Lucas isn't right for Sami. Lucas always apologizes for Sami and tries to correct her and reign her in. It's annoying. EJ would have been standing right there beside Sami insisting someone apologize to her.  Team EJAMI!

Bravo Chandler Massey!

Bravo to Chandler Massey for giving the outstanding performance of the week as a grieving and angry Will Horton.  On Tuesday's episode (5/8) of Days of Our Lives Shane Donovan and Roman gathered loved ones to the Brady Pub to inform them that Marlena, John, Hope, Bo, Rafe, and Carrie had died in a safehouse explosion. While I found this lie awful and unnecessary, it caused some high drama which made for an entertaining and moving episode.

Sami burst into tears upon hearing the news and threw herself into her father's arms. While clinging to Roman, Sami asked how he could let them all die.  She began to tell Roman the explosion and the deaths were Roman's fault.  Ok, so it wasn't Sami's best moment but she was grieving the "loss" of her husband, mother, and sister.  That's alot to take in and she was saying the first things that entered her mind without using a filter which is so typical of Sami (and endearing to some of us).  Will became furious with his mother's outbursts and he let Sami have it. He accused her of acting as if she was the only one in the room that had lost someone, then declared Sami should be the one who felt guilty since she treated Marlena like crap and cheated on Rafe.  Chandler Massey couldn't have done a better job in this scene.  He mixed rage with grief in a palpable, realistic way and I felt every tear that fell. 

Chandler Massey is a huge talent and I'm thrilled he is a part of Salem.  I am looking forward to more moments like this from him.

Sami and Lucas Back Together Again? Not So Fast!

Last week on "Days of Our Lives" viewers saw Sami Brady and Lucas Horton reconnecting.  Sami and Lucas spent a pleasant day at the Horton Square with their children, Will and Sydney. Then after they had rid themselves of the children, Lucas and Sami spent some time making out in full view of both Kate and EJ neither of whom were happy by what they saw.  Of course we all saw what came next. Back at Sami's apartment Lucas and Sami wandered off to the bedroom where they had sex. Could it be? Lumi back together again?

Oh, but wait. We didn't see a love scene between Sami and Lucas.  We were only privy to the aftermath of the lovemaking.  Shirtless Lucas and shirt-stealer Sami came to the kitchen and started the kind of playful banter that comes only after having just had fun in the sack. Then crazy Kate, who enters without knocking or announcing herself, gives them an earful about how disgusted she is (On that, Ms. Roberts, we can agree!)and completely ruins the moment.

But aren't we missing something? Where was the love scene? Where was that anticipated moment when the couple you are rooting for finally gives in to their emotions and falls into bed together? Isn't that part of the fun of watching a Soap Opera? Where was the lead up or the anticipation? Now granted, I am not a fan of Lumi, obviously.  But if I were a fan of Lumi, I'd be very concerned.  From the writers treatment of Sami and Lucas' lovemaking it can mean only two things. One: Sami and Lucas were simply "hooking up". Friends with benefits, so to speak. or Two: Sami and Lucas' romp in the sack wasn't important to the story development or plot advancement.  If bringing Lumi back together was the writer's focus and objective, we'd have seen a lot more leading up to the sex scene mention.  Either way, both say Sami and Lucas aren't a real couple or one that will be together for long. 

So what is the main story if not Lumi?  Why, EJAMI, of course! The slow rekindling of a friendship between Sami and EJ has been going on for months. (Did anyone else absolutely love how EJ kissed Sami's cheek when leaving her apartment?Watch it again here.) And the chemistry and sexual tension between Sami and EJ is, as always, undeniable. Sami being with Lucas but wanting EJ accomplishes several things.  It causes tension between EJ and Sami - and let's face it, both Sami and EJ are famous for wanting what they can't have. But it also creates problems for Sami with Will because he will believe that Sami is hurting his dad again and it'll fuel the hatred-fire Will has going with Sami.

So, Lumi shippers, don't be too excited. Lumi's days are numbered.  EJami is gonna happen this time and I will be enjoying every second of it as it unfolds.

EJami Family Time!

On Friday's episode of Days of Our Lives, EJ went to see Lexie at the hospital and overheard her speaking to Chad. EJ entered the room and sat with them as Lexie told Chad about her illness.  Chad was shocked and saddened by the news and decided Lexie was right about his involvement with his family.  Chad agreed that he needed to be there for Stefano, EJ, and for Theo. EJ was visibly upset although he tried to disguise the true reason. He told Chad that Chad would find now was the perfect timing to rejoin the Dimera Clan.

EJ left Lexie and Chad and headed over to Sami's apartment. He told Sami he would like to visit with the children. Sami could see EJ was upset and asked him what was wrong. EJ never really told Sami anything and Sami assumed EJ was upset about Lexie. She tried to comfort EJ as best she could and even tried to touch his arm at one point but EJ jerked away. EJ decided he should leave and not let the children see him this way but Sami insisted he stay and be around people who loved him unconditionally.  He wryly asked if she was one of those people and Sami said no, but she did so kindly and we all know she was thinking yes! :)  EJ decided to stay and spent the evening cuddled up on Sami's couch with Sydney in his arms and Johnny at his side watching a movie.  It was one of the sweetest scenes I've seen with EJ and his children.  Sami stood by looking on with a smile.

After the movie and the kids went off to bed, EJ decided to leave. Sami told him he didn't need to go and that he could stay and talk. He refused until she offered him some scotch at which point he shut the door and decided to stay.  Sami told EJ she was worried about him but wanted him to remember that he's not alone.  I thought it was fitting Sami said this to him since it's what EJ said to her when Sami was feeling low at the pub.

I'm looking forward to the "almost kiss" on Monday. Remember to support EJami! Watch live or same day DVR. Let's let the producers know we love Ejami through increased ratings!

EJ and Sami nearly Kiss - Week of May 7, 2012

Spoilers for week of May 7 - Sami and EJ are about to kiss but Sydney interrupts them. EJ is happy about the interruption because he doesn't want to get drawn back in to Sami.  Sami tells EJ that she is back together with Lucas and EJ laughs.

There is an explosion in the Safe House and everyone inside - Marlena, John, Bo, Hope, Carrie and Rafe - is believed to be dead.  Sami feels bad and wishes she had made things right with those who died. EJ confronts Stefano about the explosion but Stefano denies any involvement. Victor vows to make Stefano pay but Chad challenges Victor because he doesn't believe Stefano had anything to do with the explosion.

EJ spots Sami and Lucas kissing. He is more bothered by it than he wants to be. Will confronts Stefano about the "deaths".  He asks Stefano how he could kill everyone Will loves after all Will has done for Stefano. EJ overhears and wants to know what Will has done for Stefano. EJ forces Stefano to go to the memorial service to look at the damage Stefano has caused.

Roman comes into the pub after the Memorial service and informs everyone that the Safe House "dead" are actually alive.  The people in the Safe House decide Stefano must die. Carrie and Rafe decide they need to be together. Carrie is interrupted when she tries to tell Austin she wants to be with Rafe. Rafe informs Nicole that he is going to be with Carrie.

Will sees EJ and Sami in a compromising position but they assure Will that things are not as they seem.  Angrily, Will tells Sami that he was the one who shot EJ all those years ago and that EJ had blackmailed Will into working for him originally.

Billie tells EJ that Stefano helped get John released from prison.

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?
