Will Horton Gives Up All Paternity Rights

Ok, so I haven't posted in a while and I don't really have any good excuse except to say that I am lazy.

But!!!

The happenings in Salem this week are just too juicy to stay silent!

Obviously the biggest story is Will succumbing to Nick's insane blackmail demands and signing over his rights to his baby girl.

Incidently - the baby's name was revealed this week in a touching scene between Rafe and his sister.  Gabi and Will's baby will be named Arianna-Grace, in memorium of their deceased sister and Grace, the baby Rafe and Sami cared for, thinking it was her baby.  She died shortly before the truth was revealed about Sidney being Sami's daughter, not Nicole's. I love the name, it's beautiful.

Back to Nick.  I hate him.  I really really hate him.  He is so evil, so calculated, and the acting is so believable that I wonder about the actor... I was getting excited when EJ and Sami were discussing having him axed, I thought maybe we were gearing up for another Salem who-dun-it.  Alas, I don't think this is the case.

I know that I just have to be patient, that all will work out, and Nick will pay for his cruelty, but this story-line makes my skin crawl.  The scene where Nick outright admitted to Will that this was entirely about him being gay was outrageous.  I'm disappointed in the actor that plays Will, I would like to see a broader range of emotions from him.

No one has told Gabi about this turn of events yet, and it will be interesting to see how she reacts to the news.  Will is suppose to act like it was his decision, but will he be able to fool his long time friend?  Or will she choose to believe him because it's what she truly wants?

What will happen if (I should say when) she finds out that Nick is blackmailing Will to keep him out of his daughter's life?  What about when she hears that it's because he's such a bigot, he doesn't want "their" daughter to be exposed to "those" people?

I can't wait to see if the plan Sami and EJ have concocted will work out.  When it comes to Sami, anything that can go wrong might very well go wrong.  I would like to see her succeed sometimes though.  Her character is written as strong and very smart, but they are constantly making her do senseless things.  Now that she's teamed up with EJ, the two of them should be able to fix this little Nick issue.  Lord knows they are two of Salem's best schemers...

If all else fails, perhaps the dude who's about to be released from jail and is obviously related to Nick's stabbing will come finish the job...

One can only hope. ;)

Nicole Walker Sets Her Sights On Father Eric

What would Days of our Lives be without major drama?  We like to see the characters happy, but only for a little while, because happy gets boring, and fast.

What keeps us coming back, day after day, is the never ending drama, of course.

Fun things happening in Salem this week:

Nick Fallon purchased surveillance equipment in an effort to gather evidence that it was Will, not Lucas, that shot EJ.  I'm not sure where this storyline is going, but I have a feeling there will be one heck of a custody battle over this little girl, and there is no telling how far Nick is willing to go to get what he wants.  There's something a little sociopathic about this guy, and I just don't trust him.

Cloe is doing everything she can to get between Jen and Daniel, her newly discovered baby daddy.  I wanted to see Daniel with Nicole, so I'm not really sure where I stand here.

And...

Not that I didn't totally see this coming, but today's episode revealed that Nicole is having "feelings" for Father Eric.  Nicole was Eric's first love, way back when, but she dumped him when Kate offered her five million dollars to marry Lucas.  It's only a matter of time until the good priest breaks his vows, as it's obvious he still finds her hard to resist.

DOOL writers sure have been pushing the envelope lately...  good on them.

Will and Gaby's Baby Is A Girl!

So happy to finally see Will owning his role as a parent!

Can Lucas get Sami to behave so that the two families can find peace and work together to raise this child?  Can Will win Sunny back?  I hope so.  Personally, I feel like he's being too hard on Will.  He needs to stop being so selfish and forgive him already.

What's going to happen with Nick?  Am I the only one getting slightly concerned with what he's going to do next?  He was uncharacteristically nice to Will today, and it feels more like the calm before the storm that the real deal.

I have a feeling Will needs to watch his back, or he might find his cousin Nick stabbing him in it!!!  I think he's going to go full-psycho on us again... and it will all be lots of fun to watch!

I wonder what they'll name the baby?  Perhaps Arianna, in honor of Gaby and Rafe's dead sister?  Or maybe Grace, in honor of Will's dead sister...

What do you think they should name her? 

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!

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?
