Days: Friday, May 14, 2010

We start off with Sami and E.J. Sami to E.J. "It's not about you." Uh, Sami have you even been listening to Will? It most certainly IS about E.J. at least to some extent!

Note to editor..... When running a re-cap scene from yesterday, do not omit the part where Rafe tells Calliope, "Don't do it." and makes her remember not to blow her cover.

How long is E.J. going to ride the borrowed grateful train of Sami 'owing' him for getting Sydney back?

Okay, when Anna said, "I'm gonna run of course." She sounded just like Calliope!

Will is confronting Kate about Maddie. Maddie is telling Chad that he can't stay in town and go to Salem U.

Okay, Sami going on and on about how guilty she feels for lying to E.J. is annoying. It can't even be compelling and make me want to feel bad for her, because she's guilty about hurting E.J. but not about what she did.
At least with Chloe she's devastated about what she did, and that she did it as a gut reaction without trusting Daniel.

Okay, direction win! You can see Brady and Arianna in the window behind Nicole while she's talking to Dr Baker.

Will to Kate re: Maddie, "It was very smooth though, the way you changed the subject." I love Will!

Aaawww. Chad is getting all shaky voiced cause he's upset that hi mom is pushing him to leave town. Crap, now I have to like Chad.

I'm sorry Sami, but in just about every category Rafe beats E.J. wake up sweetie!

When setting someone up for murder, it might be a good idea to pick a target who isn't dating a former agent and isn't the sister of a current FBI agent. Just sayin' Nicole's getting herself into soooo much trouble.Rafe's FBI helper has Calliope in cuffs. :( Rafe's got Anna and Calliope in the same room and he's got an offer for them. He's going to let them go free if Anna gives up her accomplice. Aw, Anna is upset that Calliope lied about Eugene having left her.
Anna: "I don't know what is the matter with you, because I'm supposed to be the one who is selfish."
Calliope: "Can't you just focus on all the hems I did for you in the middle of the night?" Aawww. "Hasta la vista...Anna."
Anna: "Hasta la.....never." Poor Anna lost her friend.
Is Calliope gone for now?
It was fun Arlene!!!

Nicole: "Sorry to interrupt your lunch hour. Or ...three."

Kate: "I know the Peterson-Woods, you know from charity events, golf tournaments. We move in the same circles."
Will is sooooooooooooooo not buying it!

Sami walks into Java and sees Kate and Will talking and turns to bolt out of the door. Kate stops her and tells her to talk to Will. Aaawww I love Kate!
Will: "Hanging out with my mom, not cool."
Um, and honestly, not matter how hot your grandmother may be, when you put it in familial terms, hanging out with is not cool either. Plus your mom looks like your sister, and hanging with your sister is okay, right?

Rafe is very good at his job. Wish he wasn't a Sami doormat though. He's getting better!

Anna: "So you love Sami?"
Rafe: "I do."
Anna: "Then you're a fool."
Aww, Anna, I fear you're right.

Will calling Sami out again. Seriously it is disrespectful, but Sami hasn't listened at ALL when he's said it before.

Kate and Maddie are left alone!!!!!!!!

Brady sits down with Sami, and she immediately can tell he's seen Nicole because of the tension in him.
Brady tells her that he and Ari set a wedding date, and then he gets annoyed with her ragging on Nicole.

Ha! Flub alert....
When Arianna was talking to Nicole she glanced up and did a camera check with her eyes to see if they were cutting or continuing after her line about Brady.
Stefano has seen Giani wearing his FBI jacket! He's not happy, but he's very good with Giani.

Nicole and Arianna want each other to quit so they don't have to work together. If Arianna remains smart, Nicole just gave her a warning hint. "Trust me if I wanted to get rid of you, I'd be much more creative."

Kate and Maddie in the park!!!!
Kate: "Okay, we're alone. What do you want?"
Maddie: "My son wants to stay here to go to school."
Kate: "That's my problem how?"
Kate: "You're a strong independent woman..." do I sense loooove
They are bickering a LOT!
Maddie: "I know one thing. Once a whore, always a whore."
Kate: "And it takes one to know one doesn't it ... Maddie?"
Yup I'm sensing lots of tension (read as "smittension" hehehe)

Arianna and Nicole are drinking wine.
Arianna: "Are you going to be okay to go on the air later?"
Nicole: "I'm fine. I've only had half a bottle.(off Ari's look) 3/4?... 7/8?"
Dr Baker calls Ari anonymously with a tip and gets her away from the table. Nicole jumps up and takes Ari's glass as 'exhibit 1' when Ari gets back Nicole looks very guilty.

Stefano is upset because Anna missed her scheduled check-in.

Rafe is grilling Anna. She's overly chipper and not giving him anything.

Previews: More Stefano/E.J./Sami/Rafe/Anna story on Monday....
Crystal.......... we love you, but NBC needs to stop giving you so much time off!

Days: Thursday, May 13, 2010

Chloe looks all sweet and innocent sleeping.

Oh, she's so guilt ridden. Daniel is going to completely flip a lid when he finds out it was Vivian.

Vivian: "If i can pretend not to kill Carly he can pretend to want to marry me."
Victor to Maggie: "People think you're nice, but you're not."

Mel's shirt is cute today.

Oh awesome! Giani just got a tiny FBI jacket from Rafe! E.J. is not happy.

Calliope is freaking out and Rafe wants her to stop talking.
Anna's hangover remedy looks like fruit punch and tobasco sauce. Hehe.

Sami just called Giani 'Secret Agent Dimera.' Sami, babe. I don't think those are words you'll EVER hear again. Unless Rafe comes back (which I was soooo typing before Giani's line! ) He doesn't want to play 'Secret Agent' anymore because ..."It isn't the same without Rafe."

Sami to E.J. re: Giani: "We could get him a mobster jacket, then you'd be even." Hahahaha! E.J. needs to stop pouting!

How is it that Chloe and Daniel can keep talking and still say nothing.
Mia said she was thinking of moving to New York and studying dance. So that's where she'll end up.
Wow! Maddie is determined to keep Chad away from Will and the Dimeras! What's going on?

E.J. I don't think that you calling Rafe to thank him for the FBI jacket is the same as 'extending an olive branch'. It's you trying to keep tabs and I'm glad Sami dismissed the idea with snark.

Calliope to Rafe: "I'm semi-happily married. I'm not hitting on you, but I've got to tell you...Your eyes could melt the Yukon!" Seeeeeee that's the same thing I thought on Venice when Owen and Sami were on their date. Galen's eyes are quite amazing!


Sami just heard Calliope's voice, but hasn't placed her yet. Now she feels all depressed at being brushed off in lieu of Rafe's investigation.

Daniel is having to coax Chloe into telling him what she wants to tell him. Ah, he's figured it out. Or at least he's leading us to believe that he has. We'll see.

Mr Woods is not as concerned as Maddie when it comes to telling Chad what to do. What?!?! Is he having Chad followed?
Anna's cucumbers are slipping!

I think it's funny that E.J. is a little defensive about Rafe possibly being in love with Sami. Um, yeah I seem to remember this scene with Rafe standing in for E.J. a few months ago.

Okay, Um... Daniel is right, Chloe couldn't talk to him, but he's wrong because he only thinks that Chloe talked to Philip. Doh!

Aw, Anna wants to travel to world with Calliope! Hehehehe. Calliope said, "No" aaawwww!

I think E.J. is right, it's going to be hard for Giani to explain what his father and grandfather do to his school mates. Sami, E.J. is NOT I repeat NOT a "Great Guy" (sorry, but she needed that!)

Yeah Daniel, Chloe actually believes that you'd leave her for talking to Philip. :-/

Aw, Mel, "I was just seeing if my dad was on duty, but he wasn't."
Uh, sorry, Mel just said, "It's a slippery slope" and ... yeah... sorry, I will never hear that phrase without thinking of Jessica Leccia again. Oddly, I don't actually think about her from that movie, just that those two words are now associated with her in my mind.

Aw, Anna wants to fix Calliope's IRS problems. So sweet!

Since Mia is leaving, can Ti move with her? Please, pleasepleaseplease? I do not like that guy.
Aw, Chad doesn't want to go to Wake Forrest. Why? Mia's moving, so is he staying for Gabby or for Will? Hehehehe.

Vivian said she pushed up the wedding date and Victor does a spit take! Classic!

Anna: "You said yourself that is was fate that brought us together."
Calliope: "It's not fate it's ....."
Rafe in her earwig: "Don't do it."
Calliope: " .... I can't tell you!"
Anna is trying to comfort her and hugs her and finds her mic pack.

Days: Monday, May 10, 2010

Nicole told Dr Baker that she's got everything under control in her plan to frame Arianna.

Hope and Abe talking about the muggings. Heehee.

Mel and Nathan talking. He thinks that he knows what she's going to say. Hmm? I bet not.

Calliope and Anna. Hehehe. With the way Anna is swaying drunk and Calliope is bouncing the camera around I swear Rafe is going to get motion sickness. Anna thinks that Calliope followed her to SpaIsland. :)

Sami is working the knots out of E.J.'s shoulder. She's hurting him. Hehe. I love that shade of yellow that Sami is wearing! They need to stop looking at each other like that. Oh, Will walks in on them almost kissing. :D

Victor is trying to help Maggie and to get her to tell the family that her illness is back.

Anna said Calliope has been digging like a ferret. She wants to know who put her up to it. "Roman? Carrie? You're gonna sell my story to the tabloids!" Uh, nope. Guess again. :)

Will is NOT happy about what he walked in on.

Arianna tells Brady that he's not planning on going home, that he's planning on finding the person who mugged him. He says she's right, and for Ari not to fight him. She said, "I won't fight you, I'll join you."

Hope shows Abe a picture of the tri-spiral on Brady's chest. Hehehe. This is fun.

Calliope is trying to convince Anna that she's never sell her out to the tabloids. She's suspicious that she's been talking the whole time and Calliope hasn't said anything. Anna, "When did you start working for the cops?" Calliope looks like

Maggie calls Hope to let her know that Ciara can't stay with her (cause Maggie's at the hospital) Abe says that he'd let Ciara stay with them if Theo didn't have chicken pox. Hope doesn't want the nanny sleeping over because Ciara has been acting odd lately. Um, Hope, surprise, but she's been left unattended at night for the past few weeks! :)

Mel tells Nathan that she thinks that he and Steph are going a little too fast. She's trying to protect him from a daddy trap without actually telling him about it.

Anna tells Calliope that she can leave if she wants and she will unless Calliope starts talking.

Arianna reasons that if she's with Brady then he'll be safe since the mugger only goes after guys when they're alone.

Nicole is "Dee Wilson from Chicago" in order to get into the poser game. (Which by the way, is housed in the same little room that Vivian had Gus take Carly to and where Hope got knocked out.

Calliope tells Anna that she's a mess and that fate brought her to the SpaIsland. She tells Anna that Eugene ran off with a belly dancer, and that she's so happy that she ran into Anna.

Stefano wants to know what's wrong with E.J. he says, 'Nothing' Stefano takes that to mean Sami.

Will asked Sami if she has feelings for E.J. she says, "Yeah, maybe I do." Dude we all could have told you that! lol

Steph thinks Mel told Nathan about the birth control pills which she didn't. Now Nathan says he doesn't need Mel's advice.

Ari and Brady are arguing again. Ari says, "When I saw her (Nicole) her blouse was unbuttoned, what was I supposed to think?" Brady says, "When? When are you going to start believing me and not her?" They keep going around in circles, but at least they're talking.

Nicole cleaned the table in poker and one of the guys paid her with the money clip that he got from Dr Baker. Brady's money clip.

Rafe looks bored watching Calliope and Anna. :)

Sami just told Will that E.J. is not a guy he should hate. "Will gratitude is not the same thing as love. I am not in love with him..... God! I am not lying!" Will: "Yes you are, because every time you get bent out of shape like that you're not telling the truth. You. Are. Lying." Seriously, he's being disrespectful, but Sami really needs to hear this. Really hear it.

Hope reads Ciara a bedtime story and then takes her meds. I don't think the sleeping pills are helping her sleep. :D

Nicole asks Charlie (poker guy) where he got the money clip. Nicole pulls out a camcorder and tells Charlie that the clip is stolen property which makes him an accessory after the fact. He freaks.

Mel is upset about Maggie and Maggie is grateful that Victor was there to help her. Mel is not happy, she's very worried. She's going to be relying on Carly more I bet.

Sami says that when you love someone and they call you a liar it hurts. Will says when you love someone and they lie to you whenever they please that hurts too.

Sami is all teary and tells Will that she's there for Will not because she misses Rafe or is in love with E.J.

Nathan says that he's crazy about Stephanie. Me, not so much. :-/

Mel wants Maggie to let her drive her home. She's checking Maggie's chart. :) She's so sweet, and is so much like her mother! :) Maggie asks her if she wants to talk about what's making her sad. Mel climbs up on Maggie's bed to tell her that she could have told Nathan something that would have made him break up with Stephanie right then and didn't. Maggie says that she's proud of her for taking the high road and asks if she can do it again with Victor, cut him a wee little break, give him a chance.

Anna tells Calliope that the Anna DiMera that she knew is gone for good now that Tony died. Anna says, "I didn't kidnap little Sydney all on my lonesome." Calliope tries to get a name from her, but Anna passes out before she can name names. Rafe is frustrated. :)

Brady says that it's very late and he's not going mugger hunting tonight. He wants to concentrate on Ari. Ari says that she's thinking the same thing. They kiss. :)

Mel thanks Victor for helping Maggie. She says that she's okay with it if he wants to go in and sit with Maggie. :) Aawaww, and he goes into Maggie's room and thanks her for talking to Mel.

E.J. tells Sami that Rafe isn't coming back. She says that she knows that but that it doesn't mean that there is anything between the two of them.

Charlie leads Dr Baker back to the Hideout where Nicole is waiting. Hehehehehehe.

Days: Friday, May 7, 2010

I'm very intrigued by Kate and Maddie's history, and their scene in the park was ...... not exactly helpful in making past love interest speculation go away.
Need more Carly. How about this NBC? We acknowledge that Crystal needs some days off, so hows about when the need arises you fill in the holes with some Classic Carly stuff.
Chichen Itza anyone?

Opening on Nathan and Stephanie kissing does not a happy Christi make.
Ooooo! Rae the homeless woman is getting checked out by Mel. She has Steph's birth control pills! Hehehehehe.
This is gonna be fun! (Or at least has to potential to be.)

Ha! I love that Calliope thought Sydney was Stefano's wife! Anna and Calliope are fun!

Rae wants to see Cinnamon. Heehee. Cinnamon is her invisible cat.
And Mel has found Stephanie's pills. Dun duh dunn!
Okay, Maggie's comment of "Stephanie, you're practically glowing." Doesn't work if she JUST decided half an hour ago to stop taking them.


Ha! Nathan and Stephanie walk into Rae's room and Mel makes sure she's hanging on to the pills.
It was a very cute convo with Mel and Rae too.

There is sooo much 'bling' in the drinks that Calliope and Anna are drinking that I'm surprised that there is much drink left! I liked Calliope's comment earlier. "I'm all ears....and earrings."

Soooo Rafe just got a a taped confession of Anna telling Calliope that she kidnapped the baby and doesn't regret it.
I'm thinking that Rafe is waiting to see if she implicates some one else ::coughE.J.cough:: too. Calliope is very good at this.

Uh, Anna said, "How strange we would both end up here. In the Same 'expiration' free country. "Did she mean, 'extradition' or am I missing one of the definitions of 'expiration'? Now Calliope has a hair appointment. Now if it is extradition free then Rafe will need to get Anna to go back on her own in order to prosecute her. I'm guessing he's banking on her rolling over right away.

Sami is nervous about getting into a swimsuit in front of ... people. (read E.J.)

Okay, I think scenes with Crystal have really brought up Molly's game.
This scene with Stephanie is just killing me! I'm loving Mel's easy calm here. Especially her laugh after Stephanie says, "We want to be together!" Then Mel laughs and says, "This week!"

Uh.............. um? ............. If E.J. has a sore shoulder and can't take Giani swimming, ............ then ............. Why is he holding him?

Calliope may have pushed Anna a little too hard now.

Sami looks at the robe that E.J. is holding out like she doesn't want to let him help her, but that she can't take the robe and put it on herself. Like it's let him help or 'no robe for you!'

Mel under her breath re: Steph, "You don't know her that well."
Brady: "What?"
Mel: "You don't look... well. I should go."
Brady doesn't know women AT ALL does he?

Maggie and Victor are talking. They're going to be reluctant friends. He's about to enter into yet another business marriangement and will need a sane person to talk to.

I like Calliope saying "I just have a hard time believing that you'd kidnap a baby. Who put you up to it?"

Days: Thursday, May 6, 2010

Stefano and Kate are home.
Stefano is unsure about Kate being so compliant about Sami and the kids moving in.
He says that he has noticed that she's been a little edgy. She says that it's not Sami and he figures out that it's her run-in with Madeline.
He tells her to keep Maddie in the past where she belongs.
Maddie and Chad are eating at the pub and Gabby comes up to wait on them.
They both greet her and Gabby says hello to Mrs Woods which Maddie jumps on and corrects her, "It's Peterson-Woods" Ha! What is she trying to say? She's very attached to her maiden name. ::sing song voice:: Wonder whyyyy?

Okay I have to say that I don't like that Rafe has made Calliope so uncomfortable but I do like that he has a plan.

Oh, Rafe is holding the very real IRS troubles over Calliope and Eugene.
Calliope: "You are not nice. Good looking, but not nice."

E.J. is trying to get Sami to say/admit that she moved in to Casa Dimera not just to be with the kids, but to be close to him too.

Kate's looking through a photo album! Aw, she found a picture of her and Maddie. "Why did I save this?" Because you looooooove her. Heehee.

Gabby asks Arianna if she can help.
Arianna: "My boyfriend is in the hospital, my boss is a bitch and I don't know where my brother is. Got anything that'll fix that?"
Sure Ari. I big hug from your sister and a night of watching movies and sisterly bonding. They never spend sister time together on this show.

Chad thinks his mom might go back and ask Gabby about Chad spending time with Will. I'm guessing she actually goes back to Casa Dimera. They just can't stay away from each other.

Aw, Will grabbed some school work that has the Maddie/Kate picture in it.

Holy product placement/infomercial with Arianna and the Midol.
Is that to point out that she's not pregnant? I'm guessing that means that she may end up being. Salem can't have any more babies there are too many adult children as it is!

Ha! Giani is a Go-Fish shark!

Hey look it's a Midol commercial.
A real one. They just said everything that Arianna said. Seriously word for word!

Heehee. Chad and Will are going to find the picture of Maddie and Kate.

Uh oh. Calliope is in Anna's room and Anna is not. She needs to stop moving so quickly she's going to give Rafe motion sickness through that buttonhole cam she's wearing.

Gabby: "So. I'm off work. Are you still scary?" Nice Gabby, nice. FYI NBC, this is not the kind of sisterly bonding to which I was referring.

Calliope is wired and has the top of her dress pulled out and is talking into her chest.
Anna walks in just as she says, "You still better help me with me tax problems."

Chad is confronting his mom about having been friends with Kate and trying to keep him from being friends with Will.
Maddie on the phone: "Kate, Madeline." Aw, I like the sound of those two names together. Heehee.

Sami needs to quit apologizing to Will about things that aren't upsetting him and fix the things that are. Or even acknowledge that they are wrong.
Hahahahah! Will: "You're living in this house with E.J. and the next thing I know, you're gonna be pregnant with another one of his kids!" Thank you Will.
Again, wrong and disrespectful coming from her child, but it's stuff she really needs to hear.

Will wanted Rafe to be his daddy. Aw.

Kate: "All right, I'm here. What do you want, ... Maddie?"
Maddie: "Don't call me 'Maddie'. What the hell are you doing giving a picture of us to your grandson?"
Okay, seriously. They were sooo a couple!
I don't know that that park has ever seen so many sparks. If they would stop with the looks we wouldn't even be having these speculations.

Kate: "I took the photo out of the album so I could tear it up and get rid of it."
Kate: "What did you tell Chad?"
Maddie: "That I was a lawyer at your firm's..."
Hmm? The way the were both turned away from each other during that exchange.... So past lovers style. I wish Maddie would quit bringing up how it's going to affect Stefano too.

Days: Wednesday, May 5, 2010

Vivian and Victor are all 'doting grandparents' over Brady
Arianna immediately crawls up into Brady's hospital bed when she walks in the room.

Aaaww, Hope overslept. Wonder why?

Yay! Calliope! Arleen Sorkin! Party time!

E.J. and Samie are way too coupley.

Roman isn't all excited about Sami having picked up E.J. from the hospital. I'm guessing he's going to be even less thrilled now that she just told him she's moving into Casa Dimera.

Love Kate's 'Gibson Girl' style jacket!

Victor: "My grandson has been beaten and marked."
Vivian: "My god. To be branded like a steer."
Victor: "A bull."
Vivian: "What? It really happened."
And, peeps. It was lipstick! It's not like his flesh was seared with a branding iron.

Uh oh!
Hope just accused Ciara of going through her things and leaving them on the floor.
Hope: "But if it wasn't you, then who else?"
Ciara: "You mommy." Exactly!

Anna wants to know why Calliope made such an effort to get to the remote spa including the requisite llama.
Calliope didn't know that they spit.
Did some one put Calliope up to the trip.
Also she said, 'we' had to take a single engine plane.
Is she there with someone (Jennifer maybe?)

Ciara: "You believe me. Right mommy?"
Hope: "Of course I do." Liar.
Roman calls to tell Hope that the mugger attacked again.
He says that their "mugger friend" is targeting people they both know. He doesn't mention the "mark."

Brady: "The police are looking into it."
Victor: "What police, Bo's out of town."

Calliope: "I still can't believe I ran into you here. This place is empty."
80s dress flashblack of Calliope and Anna. Fun times.

Anna is extremely suspicious of Caliope's intentions/arrival.
Aw, Calliope and Eugene are trying to run/hide from the IRS.

I think Anna doesn't think she's as inconspicuous with Calliope hanging around. Couldn't imagine why. lol

Vivian and Victor are tag-team business handling.
She's going to take notes at the board meeting for him.

Arianna told Nicole that if she upsets Brady she has to deal with her.
Nicole is unimpressed.

Brady is wearing the Hugh Hefner cut hospital gown.

Sami doesn't believe that Kate is all cool with having the grandkids in the house.
Kate is concerned about the fact that Will left Sami's house and then she followed him. She's not sure that Stefano took Will's feelings into account.
Aww, and a little creepy.

Anna tells Calliope that it's too hard and hurts too much to have her there, because she's still getting over Tony.
Um.... sure. We'll see how long that flies.

Rafe had to 'leave on business' for an unknown amount of time so that Sami would be unwilling to wait for him. He should be showing up with Anna and Calliope soon.

Brady is apologizing for being so hard on Nicole. Uh, Okay.

Brady just offered to give Nicole and interview.
She said, "No. I know when to draw the line."

Roman just told Victor that if he's so concerned then maybe he can help the PD out with info.
Wow! Roman thought that the 'mark' on Brady's chest might be gang art. Really Roman? Gang art? Um, yeah if the Bratz decided to start rolling people!

Heeeheee.
Arianna says that the news division got an order from high up int he company to NOT cover Brady's mugging.
So Nicole needs to call in for her next assignment. Then she says that she's taking the day off to stay with Brady. Vivian is stalking. Isn't she supposed to be taking notes in a very boring board meeting right now?

Calliope is really lonely and doesn't want to leave Anna, even if Anna is going to get a hot stone massage.

Hope is there to take Brady's statement.
She says that she's closer to making an arrest because of the tri-spiral. Um... okay?

Vivian approaches Arianna. I swear that woman needs to be carrying a basket of apples!

Oh! Nicole just got assigned to investigate an underground gambling ring.

Aw! There's Rafe! he's the one who brought Calliope to Anna.
I'm loving Rafe so very very much!
I'm hoping he pegs Avenger the first 10 minutes he's back in town.

Nicole and Avenger? Avenger has NO idea who Nicole is. Baker is in so much trouble. He needs to leave town or hide in plain sight as a homeless person.
