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.

Could Ian McAllister be EJ Dimera's Real Father?

We've all seen by now the awful scene in which Stefano Dimera says to himself that EJ Dimera is not his son. This has got to be the most hated manipulation of history on Days of Our Lives to date. EJ is a Dimera. Period. We don't need some pompous writer's thinking they can screw with our show. But to hell with them. They've all been fired and for that we can rejoice.  Unfortunately, we're stuck with this awful storyline and everyone is wondering who could be EJ's father.

The speculation has been John Black which I find offensive to my sensibilities considering that would make EJ a Brady and would ruin EJami for me. Besides....John? Really?

And then there's the speculation that EJ's father is Ian McAllister which makes me shudder.  For one, the character of Ian doesn't portray strength and power which I would think is an absolute must for EJ's father.  Secondly, just who the hell is Ian McAllister and does anyone really care? EJ Dimera is one of the most loved and most hated characters on Days. You don't bring in a nobody like Ian McAllister and give him such a powerful place in EJ's life. This would also disconnect EJ from any of the core families on Days of Our Lives and is a seriously bad move.

There's a rumor, too, that Lucas is Ian's son.  Remember..we were subjected to that awful trip down memory lane in which Lucas remembered Ian taking him skiing as a kid.  If Ian is both EJ and Lucas' father, then EJ and Lucas are brothers which seems a bit creepy as well considering both EJ and Lucas impregnated Sami at the same time.  Ick.

If we know anything about Stefano it's that he loves his family and his children whether they are adopted or biological.  If the writer's had stayed true to Stefano's character this bit of information Alice had kept secret wouldn't have meant a bit of difference to Stefano. EJ is Stefano's son making him a Dimera - period - no matter what any of the writers say.
