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. ;)

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!

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? 

EJ Blackmails Rafe To Win Sami

We've been watching Sami play Russian Roulette with the men in her life for a little while now...

Lucas got shot first, and now our last two contenders have entered a fight to the death, with an actual fist fight between Rafe and EJ.

Seems EJ has found a way to keep Rafe at arms length, at least for the time being, by blackmailing him.

Once a Dimera, always a Dimera I suppose.

It's disappointing to me, because EJ is so charming and he and Sami are so hot together. I keep rooting for him to actually turn a new page, and he always has to go and muck it up. Boo.

What's he blackmailing him with?

He's promised to keep his brother Chad from testifying against Rafe's little sister in exchange for Rafe giving up on Sami. (Cause you know, psycho Barbie almost caused Melanie's death.)

Clearly, this plan will blow up in EJ's face at some point, perhaps as he's about to say his I do's with his darling Samantha.

Then Sami and Rafe can finally be together... Until Sami screws up again or Carrie comes back to town anyway.

The scene after Sami left Rafe's apartment was just m.
In a fit of rage, Rafe threw a bottle of beer at the wall in his living room.

Wait what???

Who throws a bottle of beer clear across their own living room?!
I don't care how mad you are, do you have any idea how long it would take to get the stench of beer out of that apartment?

That's just sautéed in wrong sauce.

Much love,
Felicia

EJ And Rafe Have A Street Fight Over Sami

So I'm watching Days of Our Lives today, and Rafe and EJ are arguing as usual. The object of their argument? None other than Sami Brady of course.

Suddenly, EJ head butts Rafe right in the head! Head butts him! Of course, Rafe goes ballistics and a good old fist fight ensues, right there in Salem's town square.

EJ the ex-mayor and Rafe, the detective, going at it old style. Two men who are well into their thirties, fighting over a girl. Just shameful.

The funniest part was watching John and Brady stand back and enjoy the show as EJ was getting his ass handed to him. You really shouldn't start fights you can't finish, Dimera. It's really bad for your rep as a big bad guy. No wonder he hires out for all his heavy hitting.

Who do you think Sami should choose? More importantly, who do you think she will choose?


Much love,
Felicia

Alexandra Carver Dies

I haven't posted in a few days because I've been kind of bored with the show, but today's episode was packed with action.

Abe and Lexie sat in their garden reminiscing, with Alexandra looking weaker than ever. While I had been fast forwarding most of the mushy scenes with her, I had a feeling she might die today, so I watched the scenes.

She died at peace and happy in her husbands arms, and it was a very sad and touching scene when Abe realized that she was gone.

On the plus side, after the funeral is over, we should be done with the incessant crying!!!

Also on today's episode, Melanie Layton was kidnapped by Gaby's stalker-for-hire.

Where do you find those anyway? Stalkers'R'us?

I had read that she would be leaving the show, but I sure hope they don't kill her off, she's grown on me since joining the cast a few years ago.

Plus, Nick is suppose to be back soon, so I would have liked to see how that reunion would go down!!!

Poor Chad was beside himself when he received an email that was seemingly sent by Melanie letting him know that she can't forgive him and is leaving for Europe... Will anyone even really know to look for her?  Surely her father, Dr. Daniel will know something's up and ring some alarms.  Well hopefully anyway.

They kept focusing on Gaby's evil eyes, so it seems she was in on the plan. This girl needs some serious help, she is completely off her rocker!  Wait until Rafe finds out what she's done... Little girl, you got some serious explaining to do. 


It may take a while, but this is Salem, everything comes out eventually.

Did Will Horton Really Kill Stefano?

No, probably not.

On today's episode, the investigation continued, and when EJ bailed young William out, he raised all kinds of questions with Rafe and Roman.

Could this be a conspiracy? Why would he bail out the person suspected of his fathers murder?

I'd like to know that too, actually. What fresh hell has EJ got in store for him now?

One noteworthy moment was Marlena looking pensively through the window.

"It's like Stefano's still here. He's torturing us from the other side, just like he did in life." or something along those lines. Then she proceeded to say that he would never go away...

Salem haunted by Stefano Dimera's ghost? Heaven help us, I hope not!

Sami and Will Make-Up

But will it last?!

The scene when Will finally forgave Sami was very touching.  I was happy to see their issues finally resolved.

Somehow I doubt the peace will last, as the episode ended with Will confessing he's the reason Rafe found out about her indiscretion with EJ.

I suspect Sami will be furious and not want to speak to him for a while... but I'm hoping she'll be a better mother than that.

What's your problem?  I'm aloud to hope aren't I?

In other news, Lexie's still not dead.  Although the scenes with EJ today were mostly about his situation with his ex-father Stefano, not about her dying... of course they did throw that in at the end. Boo.

Carrie's Pregnant: What does this mean for Rafe?

So the test results are back, and Carrie is officially pregnant.  Of course, being the angel she is, this puts a hold on her telling Austin that she is in love with another man.  Being the total angel that he is, is broken hearted, but he understands.

Thing is, they aren't really angels are they?  After all the years of treating Sami like she was the devil for having tried to come between she and Austin, Carrie now wants to leave him for her husband.  Granted, Sami cheated on Rafe first, but Rafe was falling in love with Carrie and KISSED Carrie before he ever even knew about Sami's indiscretion.  And who's to say he wouldn't have tried to forgive her had Carrie not been in the picture?

Of course, it's just a matter of time until they give in to their desires and start a torrid affair.  You can only deny the heart for so long, and living a lie is no way to live!

I fast forwarded through most of the scenes with Alexandra Carver, I'm so tired of these never ending goodbyes.  Just die already.  I'm sorry, did that sound heartless?  Well maybe it is, but she isn't real, so it's cool.  Today she said "it's getting worse, I can feel it.  My time's almost up, and I'm not ready."

Too bad, so sad, I am.

Will told EJ that Stefano forced him to reveal the truth about his affair with Sami to Rafe, so that Nicole would leave him.  When he confronted his not-really-father, he was very unapologetic, stating that Nicole was bad for him and that maybe there was a reason that he keeps ending up in bed with Sami... yes, it's because they are suppose to be together!!!

In other news, the budding romance between Cameron (new comer hotty) and Abigail continues, much to Celeste's chagrin. They shared their first kiss today, it was pretty cute.

Today's suspects for the upcoming who-dun-it?  Bo held his gun while saying that Stefano would get what's coming to him and EJ vowed to destroy his life.


It's still a toss-up to me, who do you think will pull the trigger?

John to bite the bullet?

"I'm sorry my friend, but your little game is over" said the big bad arms dealer as he pointed his gun straight at John's chest. "I know who you all are and I know what you're up to."

End scene, tune in tomorrow. As if they'll actually get shot. How many times can one fake die in a week?

I know what you're thinking: this is Days, anything is possible! Very true, but I predict no one will be harmed. Though I'd love to see the looks on the doctors faces when they wheel in a supposedly dead patient!

"hey, didn't you die last week?"

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.
