Rafe Moves On From Sami

With Kate Roberts/Kiriakis/Dimera?!

Brady being with Kristen was hard enough for me to stomach, but Kate and Rafe?  That's just twisted.

I used to like Rafe a lot, loved it when he and Sami were first together, but he's become so sanctimonious with her that I've grown tired of him.  

He's constantly turning his back on her, treating her like dirt whenever she screws up or doesn't do things his way.  The worse part is that he acts like she is the only problem in the equation.  I understand getting angry or being disappointed in someone, but to take away your love every time there is an issue is cruel, and Sami deserves better.

Really though, Rafe hooking up with Kate?!  That's a new low for Mr. FBI. 

I saw it coming as they sat drinking together at the bar; commiserating about how much they both hate Samantha Brady, but I didn't want to believe it was going to happen.  What gets me most is that he's so judgmental of Sami and her shenanigans, yet Kate makes Sami look like an angel with all the dirty low down things she's pulled.  

Sami's reaction to this news should be interesting... Can't wait to see this story hit the fan!!!

Speaking of Kate, I wonder how she feels about the fact that she's about to be a great-grandmother?  Hahaha!  Hope I look that good when I'm her age!

John Discovers Brady and Kristen's Illicit Affair

So... John finally knows about Brady and Kristen.

After weeks of watching him treat Marlena with such disdain every time she dared to suggest that Kristen wasn't the angel she was presenting herself to be, it's nice to see John get what he deserves.  

A nice big bowl of crow, served up Kristen style.  

How pathetic is it that this is all part of her evil plan to get revenge on John for choosing Marlena over her?  "Now I'm going to take your son from you!!!"

Of course, John plays right it to her plan, barging in to her hotel room Rambo style... now Brady's convinced he's wronged Kristen, and we're going be dealing with this for months to come.  With any luck, Kristen will get pregnant, and then the real fun will begin.

This story line is a little bit sick... she was almost his stepmom!  She surely changed his diapers a few times!  I also don't like how this makes Brady look.  He's usually so smart, how can he not see through her?!  

It's kind of a shame that she has to still be psycho, I always liked good Kristen.

But then again, what would Salem be without a few psychos in the mix?

Can Will Go Through With Gaby's Plan

So if you've been following the insanity in Salem, you know that Gaby is pregnant.

You also know that Will is the father of that child but has decided to go along with Nick's insane plan to pass the baby off as his own.  Will Salemites ever learn?  Will himself keeps saying this is a bad idea, that his own mother did that with him and it was a disaster.  Yet he's saying he'll do it.

Obviously this poorly laid plan will blow up in everyone's faces, and I for one am dying to see Sami's face when she realizes she's going to be or already is a grandmother.  Depending of course on how long it take for the truth to be revealed.  I'm hoping it's sooner rather than later as the storyline is kind of dumb.

Also, have you been following this whole Kristen Dimera storyline?  This affair between her and Brady is wrong on so many levels.  Not the least of which: she used to be his mommy!!!

Is anyone else icked out by this?  What is it with Brady and his romantic choices anyway?

Grandma Sami?

It's been too long since I posted, the daily dish is turning into the monthly dish... I will endeavour to do better!

Lot's has been going on in the past two weeks, and it's all pretty exciting!

From DOOL FB Page

Gabby is pregnant, and Sami was there with her when she found out.  What Sami doesn't know is that the baby is Will's.  I wonder how she'd feel about being called Grandma? 

(As an aside, what the heck is wrong with Sami's hair in the past two episodes?  Is the hairstylist on vacation?  Maybe on crack?)

Anyway, I digress.

So Sami being Sami, she couldn'y keep the secret, and she told Rafe about the pregnancy today.  I actually laughed out loud at the face he made after Sami finally spilled the beans.  

I love it when sh*t hits the fan on Days, don't you?

True to herself, Sami also managed to spill Gaby's secret to her new boyfriend, Nick.  His face was priceless too, considering he assumes it's his... Wonder what face he'll make when he finds out it's not?

I've got to hand it to Days of Our Lives writers and producers, they have been pushing the envelope lately, and I think it's really cool that the show seems to be evolving with the times.  Adding gay characters, the love scene between Sunny and Will, and now this pregnancy story line.

Gaby has decided that she wants an abortion, but we still don't know if that's going to happen.  

At the end of today's show, Will was still trying to put enough money together to pay for it.  He also spoke about the money before noticing his dad standing right there.

Now Lucas has questions, and Sami, Rafe & Nick will be desperately trying to find Gaby... I don't know if the abortion will actually take place, but I'm hoping it doesn't, because it would make for some great writing down the line...

What I really can't wait to see it the look on Sami's face when she finds out the baby is Will's!!!

Ooh! ooh!  I was forgetting all about Kristen.  We got our first bit of proof that Marlena's paranoia is justified today!!!  After John got angry at his precious Doc for erasing Kristen's messages informing him of Brady's attack, Marlena went off on Kristen, calling her a conniving bitch.  John didn't like this and came to Kristen's defense, only getting angrier with the usually saintly Marlena.

When Kristen found Marlena alone a little later in the episode, she walked up behind her and told her, in a hushed tone: "I'm only going to say one more thing: Thank you."  Then she smiled and walked away...

That conniving bitch, what has she got planned now?!  LOL

Have you been enjoying these story lines as much as I have?

Six People Dead in Salem

Marlena and John.  Bo and Hope.  Rafe and Carrie.  All dead.  Except they're not.

Who does that?!  So they all decided to go into hiding and let all of their loved ones believe that six family members have been murdered?!

Can you imagine if that happened to you?  OK, so the person comes back and you're thrilled to see them again, but what about the incredible traumatic time you went through?  It would be like:

"OMG you're alive!!!  I'm so happy to see you!!!  How could you let me believe that you were dead?!  You jerk, come here so I can kill you myself!"

Of course, this is all in an effort to catch Stefano Dimera, the root of all evil in Salem, USA.  A small town that has every amenity of the biggest of cities?  All this for some mystery coin, that holds the secret behind all that evil.  Da da dum (ominous music)

As I've been watching these past few days, it seems to me like we're setting up for a good old fashion DOOL who-dun-it?  Every one is out for blood, and the old man's about to bite the big one.  Well for a while anyway.  No one ever really dies in Salem unless the actor does, except for Isabella.  She must have really pissed someone off.

Anyway, I digress.

The suspects?  So far we have Will Horton, Brady Black, Victor Kiriakis and EJ Not-Dimera-Anymore, but I'm sure a few more will be added to throw us off.

I shouldn't have gotten myself started on the whole EJ's not a Dimera thing, because that story line is starting to insult my Days of our Lives intelligence.

Kristen and Tony were adopted, and he loved them just as much and used Tony as his right hand man.  Why would he turn his back on EJ after finding out he's not his biological dad?  I'm hoping the writers have some way to explain this, because if they don't it's just plain dumb.  My one theory is that he's actually discovered that EJ's real father is in fact a Horton.  (They can't really make him a Brady, that would make him a relative to Sami) Which makes EJ the enemy... so I guess it would make sense.

Well by sense, I mean make sense Days style.

Catch me tomorrow for more DOOL updates, comments, rants and laughs.
