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!

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?
