So Lucas is stupid enough to throw the gun in the river. Kate should be ashamed.

I'm confused as to why anyone would want to have lunch with Jen.

So now Nicole is throwing Dan under the bus to protect herself. See Dan, this is what you get when you give Nicole the benefit of the doubt and believe her when she says she's going to do the right thing.

What does EJ have to gain by telling Abby about the hit? Why do I keep trying to understand why stupid people like EJ and Abby do the things they do?

"Well, we have spent a lot of time together over the years...even if most of it was against my will..." Sigh.  JFC. When those familiar with his work warned us that Ron was obsessed with rap

Good for you, Marlena, being so cold to Nicole and letting her know you're not okay with her lying to Eric AND warning her to not hurt Brady.  I mean, the NERVE of Nicole to hurt your baby boy by not

I loved it when Kate, confronting Lucas about his bad lies, told him she "raised him to lie better than that!"  Love me some Kate.  I enjoyed her going to Gabi and treating her like the moron she is, too.

 

You're right - no normal people would want to have lunch with Jenn - and in fact, most normal people couldn't keep their food down if they had to stare at that horrific Bride of Chucky wannabe.  But then again, the lunch guest were Abe and Maxine.  Maxine has a bad case of Deveraux and Dirty Dan dementia, which causes a spike in affection for horrid, creepy, crawly things.  And poor Abe has been doing little but butting into other people's business and giving unasked for advice like the Gladys Kravitz of Salem.  I think it's telling that these are the only two people in town who have the time and inclination to eat with Jenn.

 

LP, I don't think it's possible to understand why EJ and Abby do anything.  I can't understand how she even manages to stand upright and form words.  I think that bun she keeps her hair in is the only thing that keeps her tiny brain from rolling right out of her ear.

And EJ, well, EJ lets Little EJ do most of his thinking these days.  And I'm afraid it's just showing us how tiny Little EJ really is.

 

Special Award to Left Phalange for achieving the first comment 200 on page 5!  I know there are lurkers out there.  Talk to us!

 

Yes!!  Congrats to a great poster!  and as Quelle C says, you lurkers, jump on in, we don't bite......much...

I hope it finally clues her in on the type of man she went to bed with. When your ex lover tells you he tried to have your cousin murdered to shut him up it should be a good indicator that you need to keep your own mouth shut and stay the hell away from him.  This is one of the things that grates me so much with EJABBY—they are so ill matched and she is so far in over her head.  I’m surprised she didn’t run screaming from the room to mommy with her purse still clutched to her chest after EJ threw the thing at her and socked her in the gut. The frightening look she got said it all.  Now Sami, she would have probably grabbed a million dollar vase, chucked it at EJ”s head, and screamed at him if he went through her purse like that. Then they would have had make-up sex on the couch afterwards. But at least Sami can hold her own with EJ.

I can't understand how she even manages to stand upright and form words.  I think that bun she keeps her hair in is the only thing that keeps her tiny brain from rolling right out of her ear.

I just want Sami to find out the truth so she can dump the pathetic lying cheating loser, and get a good exit SL.

 

When Sami was a teenager, Stefano told Kristen he wished his own children were as good at going after and getting what they wanted as Sami Brady is.  Vivian, when Sami pulled off one of her devious plans, "She is so much more advanced than I was at her age."  Now I'm supposed to believe that Sami couldn't run circles around Elvis the idiot and the boring twit side piece.

 

I want real Sami back immediately.

I just can't deal with Abby. "I slept with a man who pays men to kill people." Woman, you can not be this stupid. EVERYONE knows who EJ is. Stop acting like this. If you're ashamed of yourself for sleeping with him (which you're not) that's fine, but don't stand there and act like you didn't know he was a criminal. "Hitmen are known for having a conscious.” Hitmen who are good at their job don't have a conscious and if they do they don't let it stop them from killing people for money. Abby may know a little something about art but she is brain dead when it comes to how the real world works.

 

They better not have Sami and Kate revert back to hating each other.

Is it wrong that I giggle like a little kid everytime Sami profusely thanks Abby and hugs her and Abby looks like she feels incredibly guilty? Because if so, I don't want to be right. Something about the look on KM's face just cracks me up. Plus, anything that makes Abby uncomfortable or feel bad I am all for.

 

Love that everyone is getting on Kate about accepting jewelry from Stefano, and I loved Skate.

 

Do not care about Nicole anymore and that is sad to me because I had always had some small bit of sympathy for her but no longer.

 

So, I am now guessing that Jordan and her brother are on the run from their family but still no f***ing clue why. Can they please just tell us and get it over with?

Yes to both your posts.  Abigail drives me nuts with the way she rewrites her own history to ALWAYS make herself some sort of a victim.  And even that's never enough - she also has to make whoever else is involved somehow less of a person than she is.  That whole horny she had going on with EJ was all on her.  She initiated it and it's not EJ's fault that he reciprocrated.  EJ is responsible for betraying Sami, but he's not responsible for being too much for that little harridan to resist.  What a load of Deveraux crap.  Of course, EJ is a complete moron but that not only true because he's a sucker for a psycho with a hair bun.

 

And after reaming out EJ and saying she HAS TO TELL THE TRUTH - because Abigail and her troll mother are truthtellers, dontcha know - she runs into Sami and Little Miss Truthiness lies about her reason for being there, using Ally's trauma as an excuse without missing a beat.  She had no trouble hiding behind a little kid's trauma to save herself from Sami's righteous beatdown.  Yet somehow Abigail remains convinced that she has some sort on unassailable moral high ground. 

She did make me laugh, though, when she first confronted EJ and was talking so fast and jerking all over the place like Woody Woodpecker on crack.

Finally got caught up today after being almost a week behind. 

I need some kind of eye therapy now from rolling my eyes at sooooo many scenes - most of them with horribly nosey Jennifer!

 

For the 5 episodes I watched, most of Jennifer's lines were, "Tell me the secret, Daniel."  "I want to know what you're not telling me, Daniel."  "What's the secret, Daniel?"  OMG, bitch, mind your own business!!  She was making me even more insane than she usually does!  Could whoever shot Nick, please take a shot at Jennifer next?

 

Also, while taking shots, aim one at Abigail too, please!  She's right up there with Gabi in the 'too stupid to live' category.  So, you slept with EJ, who the hell cares?! Get over it and move on!  I DID like when EJ was all up in her zone, a bit threatening.  That was awesome!  I wanted to see her pee her pants a little!  LOL  You wanna play with the big boys, little girl, then step on up! 

 

JJ, Paige, Rory and Bev - boring.  I actually have come to like JJ and he's cute with Paige but please, leave the two stoners out of the story now.

 

Is it wrong that I just want to slap Hope these days?  She's just awful with everyone she comes in contact with anymore. 

Same sentiment about Brady.  He's too pretty to waste on having no storyline but drinking. 

 

I do like the Who Shot Nick mystery.  It's somewhat predictable with everyone trying to protect someone else by falling on the grenade, but it's still a fun storyline.  Has anyone figured out who actually did it yet?  I'm still guessing Gabi but I don't really have a good theory on it.

Nick shot himself and made it look like a murder so someone will end up going to prison.

Yes!  Although I'm fully prepared to admit I did it if it will stop Hope's ungoing rudeness and stupidity.

Ah, someone else who hates Jennifer and Abigail!  Come sit next to me.  Those two are the worst.  I also liked EJ scaring the smug off the Horton Heroine Abigail.  That woman needs to undertand that she actually IS responsible for some of her own decisions.  But then again, Jennifer hasn't figured that out yet.

The Bev/Rory storyline just seems so unnecessary.  I like JJ and Paige too, but I like these teen storylines in the background more than front and center.  And the last thing I want with Bev and Rory misbehaving is giving Jennifer another reason to diss them.

 

And Hope IS annoying as hell these days.  She questions Abigail with kid gloves, but handles Lucas, also her cousin, like an ass.  And then she does the same thing to Victor.  Plus, why is she on this case??  Roman wasn't even allowed to be in the station when Sami was on trial for killing the cop, but Hope questions everyone in her cousin's killing?  I guess it must be her "Cop Voice".  Oh, how I hope to see Sierra make her life a living hell.  Maybe she'll be Sami 2.0

 

I think Gabi shot Nick.  Now the unanswered question is who shot that giant hole in Brady's head.  It happened a long while back, but man, the wind just whistles through that empty space called a brain.  He might be pretty but he's dumb as a post and twice as obnoxious.  Gotta love how he fights with Nicole like they're both Mean Girls in high school.  Of course, his breasts ARE bigger.

HA!  This made me laugh and snort at the same time!

 

Whatever happened to Brady?  He hooked up with Kristen and lost every brain cell he possessed!  Since the Kristen debacle, he's done nothing but whine, cry and oh yeah, drink and snort coke!  I'm kinda sorry he stopped with the cocaine - it was hilarious to me that he needed to snort it like every 5 minutes!  He would snort some coke, talk to someone, let's say Maggie, and as soon as the conversation of 2.5 minutes was over and she left the room, there goes Brady, snorting more coke!  It was a miracle he could ever leave his bedroom with how often he needed to snort cocaine!  He's almost doing the same thing with drinking but it's not as funny. 

Ah Brady.  Someone needs to knock him about his head a few times, see if they can push his brain past 15 years old! 

 

Thanks for the laugh!! :)

Brady started losing functioning brain cells when he returned to Salem, and divorced Chloe.  It’s been downhill from there.

I loved the Sami/Lucas scene.  Hope we get more of those with Kate and Will added in.

 

Yes!  Although I'm fully prepared to admit I did it if it will stop Hope's ungoing rudeness and stupidity.

 

Boes, I would like to talk to you about your taking out some of the other characters – starting with Jen, Dan, and Abby.  I’ll pay top dollar, and clearly you are more competent than the Dimera henchmen.

Freddie did frantic well today, and I hope the show continues with the Will confession storyline through the rest of the week, and doesn't drop it till the Big Reveal.

 

I like Rob Wilson as Ben, he brings more life to the role.  And yeah, he could be a model because, well, he is one.  :)

 

Will Kristen's return be what brings Brady out of this nonsense?

I'd do it for free if I could.  I suspect that all we'd need to do is a Three Stooges knucklehead rub and that would be the end of most of them.  Although, I would like to see John arrested and sentenced to life JUST for that "smell the fart" face he always makes.

I like Freddie.  I think he's always done well.  He's a lowkey actor, the kind that it can be easy to overlook sometimes.  I think he and the New Will are very good together.  I liked Chandler Massey but I was ready to see him go.  Towards the end that constant grin started to undermine his performances for me.  This new guy has done an excellent job IMO.

 

It's nice to see Rob Wilson onscreen again.  I thought he started out stiff on the AMC reboot, but I think he picked up the pace and improved his skills by the time that show (unfortunately) came to an end.  He's taken over the Ben role seamlessly IMO.

 

Poor Brady.....the guy irritates me until I see him having to deal with Jawn.  I swear that having to deal with "Smell the Fart" Jawn is enough to drive anyone to drink.

Marlena and Roman were actually pleasant to watch today.  Their faces almost moved and everything.

How true - they were a pleasant diversion.  And then getting a sight of Jawn's oddly elongated face makes you realize how good Roman must look to Marlena after all those years of living with "Pull My Finger" Black.

 

I forgot to mention - so Ben says no to a modeling gig - which many people would do for almost as many reasons - and Abigail goes into full Jennifer mode - "WHY"  "WHY NOT"  WHY, HUH, WHY, TELL ME NOW" .  She is her mother's daughter, buttinsky in training.

The weirdest, most unexpected thing happened to me last night. I was actually interested and investing in Paige/JJ.

Guys, I am gobsmacked. I don't understand this at all. I think the turning point was Paige actually recognizing that Bev was fucking with her head. The whole thing actually veered off the predictable as hell route of 'girl tricks other girl into thinking boy is an STD-ridden man-whore!' I was also surprised that JJ said he wasn't a virgin. I haven't been watching all that long but no one who does has told me that JJ is a sexually active young man. (I've seen hopes that Eve would sweep into town and play Dorian Lord to JJ's Joey Buchanan elsewhere, too.) But Paige admitting that her family life isn't all that great, her dad left early her Mom picks guys that aren't good to her was also kind of unexpected.

Although I continuously get a kick out of the concept that the Devereaux kids are worldly and well-traveled while still coming off as naive twits 100% of the time.

Another weird thing that happened? I actually like Ben/Abby. Aside from her annoying tendency to have to know every single detail about a person right now -- a trait she clearly gets from her mother 'What's going on, Daniel? Tell me what's going on, Daniel! We trust each other, Daniel! Tell me everything immediately!' This may be due to nuBen who I recall enjoying quite a bit on PP/AMC despite the fact that he was in one of the dumbest stories ever. He's also extremely easy to look at. I'm sure Abby is going to get insufferable with him again soon but I was strangely taken by them.

I feel dirty.

If I start liking Daniel someone needs to send me to an institution because I will clearly have gone insane.

Theresa and her 'smooth as glass' monologue was very good... even with dumb but pretty Brady sitting there attempting to look like he gets it and only succeeding at blinking. And, seriously, why is Theresa obsessed with JJ? I don't even get that. Is Eve showing up going to balance this out or make it even more bizarre?

Victor's "I'm good at this sort of thing!" was divine.

Will, you big, big stupid. O! The sacrifice! I think Hope was pissed because she had Lucas and then Will came in and totally fucked up her game. But even with that, she didn't necessarily have Lucas if the ballistics pointed to a Very Specific Kariakis Gun... which doesn't actually match... because Victor totally did something to it. Or whatever. But none of that matters because Will decided to throw himself on the grenade.

So three bullets were missing. Okay. So... clearly Gabi took the gun and shot Nick but Will thinks that Sonny did and Sonny doesn't even know what's going on at this point. Those two crazy kids need to sit down together and actually talk. "Did you shoot Nick?" "No!" "Are you sure?!" "Yes!" "I confessed because I thought I was protecting you!" "So you didn't do it, either?" "NO!" "Well, who else might have gotten the gun that was in our position? We don't hang out with everyone after all..." "We sort of do..." "GABI!!"

Mystery solved.

This is only lasting for another week, right?

Oh Lord, the Sami histrionics when she finds out about this are going to be unbearable. Almost as unbearable will be EJ and his 'Samantha... Samantha... I don't know why William would do this... do you know why William would do this?' And then probably wandering over to Abby to say 'Abigail' to her a few times before wandering off again.

So, Brady decided to get drunk after running into Nicole... and then decided to snort coke after running into John giving him The Eyebrow? Well, we can see what the bigger trigger is.

I did like Will deciding that he's had enough of people "protecting" him, but isn't admitting to murder in order to protect someone else the wrong way to go about it? Wasn't the whole point of covering up the River Dump so that Arianna could have both of her parents in her life?  But Will's going to toss that aside now? 

And who does Will think he's covering for? Lucas or Sonny? If it's Lucas, wouldn't it be smarter to go to the cops and say "hey, I know you think that my dad's done this sort of thing before, and that's why you suspect him, but I'm the one who actually shot EJ"?  If it's Sonny, wouldn't you just say "Sorry about your luck, but my kid comes first"? I thought I'd be happier about Will finally showing some backbone, but it's just got me mad at him!

Will seemed to be bothered at the idea of Lucas getting questioned because it was likely that Lucas was in trouble due to wanting to protect Will but what really seemed to set him off was seeing the texts to EJ from his mole that the Kariakas mansion was being searched due to a warrant. That suggests to me that Will confessed to protect Sonny and I have to assume that he thinks Sonny did it. His insistence that he acted completely alone, no one was in on it with him or any of that, is pretty much a red flag that Things Are Not As They Seem.

 

Hope realizes that... or at least, she really doesn't want it to be Will. I guess she really wanted it to be Lucas for shooting EJ even though Will actually did that. If she only knew!!

Oh I do LOVE your post!  I've admited in the Unpopular Opinions thread that I like JJ and Paige - MUCH to my surprise.  And I liked her even more yesterday.  As you pointed out, what a relief that we aren't going to have to go through that storyline, that Paige saw through it all immediately.  And the backstory she's telling sounds not only good but plausible.  And I think both of the actors portraying Paige and JJ aren't bad at all.  Man, all I have to do is take a look at "Kiki" over at GH to realize what a godsend these two are!

 

And I agree - for two young'uns who supposedly have traveled the world AND lived abroad, both Abigail and JJ have more than a touch of yokel.  If I could direct the show for only one day, I'd make Abigail a first class YODELER, and make her do it in front of the whole town - that should shut her buttinksy mouth up for a while.

I'm liking Rob Wilson as Ben a lot.  I'm not liking him with Abigail yet but that's all due to my Abigail dislike.  IF - and it's a big IF - the writers can dial her back a bit, I could.  No way could I ever wish Jennifer anything but harm and humiliation, but I could spare the child if they muted her somewhat.

 

Sonny should have given him a Curly Joe knucklehead for being such a knucklehead, confessing like he did.  Obviously Hope doesn't believe him - she seems to like Will a whole lot more than she does his dad.  The only saving grace to those scenes is that Will did most of the talking and we didn't have to listen to Hope drone on too much in her "Cop Voice".

 

And yup, I'm sure we're in for a lot of EJ using people's full names!

 

I have to say that as much as I mock this show, Days stays true to the soap format and feeling that has kept me hooked on this genre for longer than I care to admit.  The other remaining shows mostly seems like hollow caricatures, and I detest the way some of the other shows seem to rejoice in mocking the genre.  Of course Soaps go over the top, but that's such a small part of what makes them so addictive.  The good ones - virtually all of them back in the day - also gave us credible emotions based in truth, with characters who had some depth and connected with us on an emotional level.  This show still honors that and I appreciate it.

I somehow am getting the feeling that Paige's mother is that snooty woman who wanted Roman to be her date for the charity function at St Luke's.  I don't know why...

So where does Nicole go now?  This is a character who is portrayed by such a wonderful  actress--maybe she'll have anervous breakdown-AZ could sure do t hat very well.

Sami has been looking awful lately--her hair-which w as always thick and gorgeous-seems oily and stringy.

Victor really has been getting great lines--even Marlena got one the other day about things that happen in Salem.

If WIll tried to claim that he shot EJ at this point, about ten other people would wind up going to jail for perjury and lying to the police.

In real life, yes. But in soaps, they gloss over that kind of stuff all of the time. It would be easy enough to have EJ (as the victim) say he didn't want to pursue things and the matter would be dropped.

I just want it out in the open, but if they insist on never revealing it, I'm fine with that IF, and only if, they stop using it as blackmail fodder against Will. I can't handle another Will the Victim story spawned by someone finding out his secret.

I love AZ but her hair is fucking tragic.  Just absolutely awful. 

 

Also, this story sucks.  I am ready for Nicole to move on and stop being so pathetic, especially over dull Eric.  GV is a beautiful man but making him a priest was a mistake, IMO.

 

Like some others, I also appreciated Paige not falling for Bev's mind games.  I like JJ, Paige, and Bev and think Bev in particular has a lot of potential.  I hope they don't destroy her for a teen triangle or turn her into some twee afternoon special on the dangers of pot smoking.

SOD has an article that confirms Gabi is the killer. I'm not even going to bother adding spoiler tags because everyone already saw that coming.

 

Someone other than KM finally gave an interview. I like all of AS answers and think the writers should have let her write for Sami since she seems to understand the character better than they do.

So how much is Gabi going to confess?  Nick/River, Melanie?

I wish. When you wish upon a star...btw what's you're favorite Disney Princess???

 

Oh, sweet baby Jesus. I had to run off mid post and left my laptop open. My post ends at "I wish." My 8 year old apparently finished it for me. Apologies. 

What I intended to say was: I wish, but what's the point? There won't be legal repercussions, because there never are and there's no one left on canvas who would care about any of it. It would have been fun for everyone to be exposed months ago, but now, I just want it to end!

There was one small scene that stood out for me today. When Sami apologized to Sonny, hugging him and saying she was just scared for Will. It's nice to know that deep down she knows that Will is Sonny's top priority with Ari a razor close second.I'm just glad and Adrienne and Justin are still out of town for this whole thing. I don't even wanna imagine their reaction to Sonny contemplating murdering Nick.
 
Also since we're heading into the Summer storylines.....I'd like it that when Will and Sonny take Ari to the Lake that they have both Will and Sonny shirtless, and let Freddie forgo the shaving and possible waxing. I personally find Sonny way sexier with chest hair.  So say we alll?

I agree!  I don't know why she cut it like that in the first place!  And wow, the "style" they've had it in the past couple of days just highlights the damage!

 

 

Even as a Nicole fan, I'm glad that it's finally out!

I love Nicole too but I have to agree with this.  I hate that they had her story take the path it did - she was being so good and then bam, 180 turnaround and back to being a pathetic liar. 

 

As glad that I am to have this secret out - I hate Jennifer with the fire of a thousand suns!!  That nosy, meddling, hypocritcal b***h could NOT wait to run, not walk, to find Eric and tell him!  She didn't try to talk to Daniel first, she didn't screech self righteously at Nicole first, nope, right to Eric.  And she will suffer exactly zero consequences for doing it.  Daniel will be all schmoopy with her and not be one iota pissed that she just took over and did what she deemed best.  Eric certainly won't have any issues with precious Jen butting into his business, and all the other interested parties will continue their canonization of St Jennifer of Salem for exposing Nicole once again.  UGH!!  Anyone else, anyone else could have overheard Daniel and Nicole and I wouldn't have liked it but oh well... but freakin' Jennifer?!  UGH again!!  Did I mention that I really strongly dislike Jennifer? ;)

 

When did Gabi tell Hope she killed Nick?  I must've missed it somehow.  I saw them talking about the baby, then next Hope was coming out of the bathroom (I guess?) and they were ready to go to the station.  My chihuahuas were barking out the window all afternoon, so maybe that's when I missed it?  Anyway, I'm all good with Gabi going to prison now.  She's been more tolerable since Nick died but I still find her fairly annoying and won't miss her when she's gone.

 

I liked the scenes with Lucas and Will and with Sami and Sonny.  I thought they were well done and I'm glad Sami calmed her jets long enough to acknowledge that Sonny was upset and worried too.  Sami talking to Will about the sacrifice Lucas made for him with all the love in his heart was beautiful.  All those interrogation room scenes were pretty damn good today.

 

Next week looks like it should be pretty fun!

I second that Sonny emotion!  Freddie Smith has a great slow burn going on.  Me like.....

And yeah, how cool was it see Sami actually acknowledge Sonny like that?  I know she's been pretty supportive and virtually always nice to Sonny but this was really good.  Even knuckleheaded, punch-before-you-speak Sami can be pretty thoughtful when it matters.  Gawd can you imagine the sqwauking from Adrienne if she was around???

Ah, anyone who hates Jennifer, come sit next to me.  And if you also despise Abigail, then drinks are on me.  I'd buy 'em for ALL of you folks who find the Deveraux Drones to be the biggest, most delusional, most hypocritcal PAINS IN THE ASS in Salem.  I'll take characters like Kate any day who own their crap over Jenn and her horrid daughter, who are always happiest when they're either passing judgement or playing - LOUDLY - the victim.  And of course she dressed up in her Scientology recruiter outfit and pull that Medusa Mop of a hunk a hair and piled it on her head.  Whenever I see Jenn done up like that, or Abigail has her hair in a bun (which must stretch her brain to the breaking point) you just know someone is going to fall victim to their poisonous tongues.

 

I agree it was past time for Nicole to be brought down on this Eric thing, but JENN does it??  And as you say, she ran so fast to tell Erica she must have sweated through her Depends before she got there.

 

My rant aside, this was a good day.  I even liked Gabi, though that may be mostly because I know she'll soon be gone - how or where I do not care.  It seemed like her grasp on reality was getting tenuous, so I wonder if she'll be committed somewhere, 

Too bad Salem isn't near Llanview - I'd love to see her locked up at St. Ann's.....

 

Eric is just too goosey loosey for me take seriously as anyone's partner in love or sex.  He's so ..... juvenile.  I might buy that if he'd gone into the priesthood after high school and stayed in, but this guy was out in the world screwing his brains out, most likely, before becoming a priest.  And now he seems like the kind of guy who would have trouble saying  chicken "breast" without either blushing, confessing, or getting a woody.  Dude has less sex appeal than Roman and that's saying something.

Actually spoilers say Dan and Jen will face problems because of what she did. I assume they will break up again for the 435th time. But really, I don't know what Dan has to be mad about. He threatened to tell Eric himself if Nicole didn't tell the truth and I don't believe she would have ever done it herself if someone hadn't exposed her. Is he going to get mad because he didn't have the pleasure of seeing the devastated look on Eric's face when he found out what Nicole did? Thanks to Nicole's lies Eric probably wouldn't have even believed him and this story would have dragged out even longer. It would have been better if someone else did it but I'll take what I can get.

It happened off screen for some reason.

Awww, I know you're right - I just don't like it!! ;)  It must be my bias showing because I like Nicole.

 

So, my justification/rationalization for Dr Dan being pissed at Jenn is this - she knew that he was trying to handle this with Nicole privately.  He wouldn't tell her Nicole's secret, which was killing nosy Jenn.  So, she ends up eavesdropping on them and finding out the secret that way and instead of talking to Daniel about it first, knowing how hard he's been trying to resolve the issue - she breaks all land speed records to tell Eric first.  If my significant other did that to me, I'd be a bit pissed off at them. 

I'm sure she'll justify her actions by talking ~again~ about how Daniel would do anything for Nicole and she didn't want him hurt because of it.  I'm sure looking forward to them breaking up for the, what did you say, 435th time!!  HA!  Watching more Jennifer is always something I'm wanting to do! LOL

 

Thanks for clearing up the thing with Gabi and Hope - my chihuahuas are off the hook for making me miss it! :)

Brady's turned into a drug addict again?  Pardon me, I haven't watched this show in awhile.  Looks like he's on the outs with John.  John pouring the bottle of wine into the ground in the town square in front of Brady was pretty cold.  Can anyone tell me how come John hates Brady now?  I'm trying to play catchup here.

 

New Will is not a bad actor.

 

Sami needs to beat up the hairdresser that made her hair look like brown, stringy crap.

 

Nicole should just give up on men and leave Salem.

 

Why does Dan's lower lip have a wound?  Looked like he was walking around with herpes on his lip.
