Days: Tuesday, August 17, 2010

Hope is in the court room and her public defender is wanting to know why she picked him, a rookie. She says that she doesn't want to waste the court's time and money. That she plead guilty and she's going to prison. Bo comes up behind her and says no she isn't.

Nathan comes to Mel's rescue and gets his arm hurt in the meantime.

Ian (Stephanie's doppelganger) has pulled his hair back into a pony tail so they don't look quite so much alike. He agrees to see what he can do about getting the paternity test results for her.

When Daniel comes upon Chloe and Carly and asks what's up Carly starts to make an excuse, but Chloe says that it's time to tell him the truth. Um, yeah. I'm thinking that's NOT going to happen.

Replay of Nicole's whining and Rafe spotting her as an easy target.

Replay of Stefano seeing Sami in the living room doorway. This time he says "arranged Sydney's kidnapping" though instead of just "arranged the kidnapping" like he did on Monday. Sami says, 'What did you say?'

Nicole throws a drink in Rafe's face.

Sami says that it sounded like Stefano said that E.J. was planning on taking Sydney away. She says that she wants to be with her kids. E.J. says that he was thinking of stealing her away for a bit after the wedding. Sami says that maybe he regrets being involved with a woman with four children.

Nathan assesses Mel's neck where the guy grabbed her and says that she'll have bruises. She thanks him again for helping her.

Chloe tells Daniel that Carly is giving her a present for her birthday. Girl time with facials etc. Daniel is surprised. Carly says that it's really for him since he wants them to get along, they're going to spend time together. Seeee Chloe just keeps digging herself deeper. Carly's going to smack her one of these day.

Bo is trying to convince a very martyrdom intent Hope to not give in and to fight prison. Doug and Julie are watching and Doug takes Bo out of the room. They are meddlesome and it annoys me.

Rafe throws out a guy for being a jerk to Nicole about her being Misty Circle. She was very shaken up and thanks him. He says that he should apologize to her.

Lexi overhears E.J. and Sami's news and congratulates them.

Mel tells Nathan he should get his arm x-rayed. He offers to take her home.

Daniel is happy that Carly and Chloe are trying to get along. This is eating Carly up inside.

Ian has gotten to the file with the paternity tests on the St Mary's computer. But the tests results for Dana Scott aren't in.

Nicole is sulking in self pity. No, Rafe, she's right. No one needs to apologize to her. (Shallow side-note: The bartender is cuuuuute!) Ooooooo. Rafe was just trying to get Nicole to drop her defenses.

Chloe tells Daniel that she's learned a lot about Carly in the last few days and that she's come to see her in a new light. Daniel says that the new baby has made them a family.

Stefano tells Sami that he was wrong. Cut to E.J. telling Lexi that Rafe is out of the picture.

Rafe tells Nicole that Sami says that he's so jealous that he doesn't see that E.J. has changed. Nicole scoffs and buys the next round of drinks. Rafe is sooooo baiting her by telling her things that happened when Sydney was kidnapped and how sad E.J. was. Nicole doesn't believe it and Rafe in a fake slur asks Nicole to tell him that E.J. is a good guy. She says that she's not sure she can do that. I hope this works out for Rafe. :)

Daniel is on the phone with Mel she's going to meet them at the pier. He sends Chloe off so they can talk about her birthday surprise in private. Mel shows up and Carly and Daniel both immediately, notice her new bruises and ask about them simultaneously.
Carly: : Are those bruises on your throat?!?
Daniel: Wait, why aren't you... what happened to you?
Mel gulps and says, "That's a lot of parenting at one time." I have to add another Shallow Side-Note here. I absolutely LOVE when Crystal plays a character in 'mom mode' she always manages to convey layers of concern, love, protectiveness, and situationally appropriate anger in just the right amounts at the same time. Mel tells them that some guy got out of hand at the clinic but that Nathan took care of it.

Stephanie and Ian tell Nathan that he's helping her with computer programming stuff. He tells her that a guy freaked out at the clinic then goes to shower. Ian tells her that a girl as pretty as her shouldn't have to fight to keep a guy. I like Ian. I still don't like Stephanie. When Nathan comes back out he tells Stephanie that they freaked out guy at the clinic tried to strangle Mel. Stephanie says that he must know her well then. Nathan gives her a look.

Carly is asking Mel if she's sure she's okay and she's being all mommy to her. Soooo sweet! Mel asks Daniel to drive her home to change and they can talk about Chloe's present in the car. This of course makes Carly tense up and Mel notices and asks what's up. Daniel says that Carly managed to make friends with Chloe then they leave. Carly pulls out her phone and starts dialing or texting.

Stefano and Sami call a pseudo truce. Lexi is really trying to make sure E.J. isn't blind sided by the possibility of Rafe not having given up. Sami tells Lexi and E.J. that Stefano was nice to her.

Nicole is suspicious of Rafe now.

Doug tells Hope to trust Bo. Bo tells her that there's been a change of plans.

Carly calls to check on the test results to make sure they'll be available in the morning. She calls Chloe to confirm.

Nicole frisks Rafe for a wire and ends up losing her balance and falling on him. Cue sexual tension.

Sami and E.J. kiss. A few times.

Days: Monday, August 16, 2010

Daniel asks Carly opinion about a bracelet that he's giving Chloe. Aaawwww. He's excited that he'll get to tell everyone that he's going to be a father. Of course Carly is a little concerned since she knows he might not be.

Sami is caught off guard when Stefano and Will walk in on her kissing E.J.

Rafe is still on Nicole's trail.

Will is upset and Sami chases after him to try and get him to understand. Yeah, not gonna happen Sami.

Rafe has a mystery person in his pocket who he thinks is going to help him with Nicole.

Chloe and Philip fret about Nathan finding out about 'the sex on the couch'.
Daniel is trying to get Carly to open about about why she's so guarded and emotionally exhausted right now. She escapes by leaving him alone at the table at Cheatin' Heart.

Stephanie is annoying and tells Melanie that she probably doesn't want to work where her parents do. Mel says that she likes working with her parents. Aawwww. :) Oh! I guess Stephanie was at St Mary's hospital and Mel is there for her interview.

Rafe has called on .... dun dun dun.... Victor to help him with Nicole. Ha!

Will tells Sami that Rafe was different because he might have worked out and been a real part of the family unlike E.J.

Rafe might not have Victor in his corner. Victor needs more information that Rafe's not willing to give.

Stephanie is being annoying.

Philip doesn't want to leave Mel alone in the neighborhood where the clinic is. Mel says, "You're right. They should put free clinic's in safer areas." Hahaha. :) Oh, Mel is not alone, Nathan is working there too.

Daniel gives Chloe a silver spoon, fork and cup set for the baby. Chloe's feeling guilty and leaves Daniel alone for a minute. Sister Ann (from St Mary's) shows up and Daniel invites her to sit and meet Chloe.

Rafe tells Victor of his suspicions involving E.J. hiring Anna to kidnap Sydney and Nicole knowing about it.

Okay, Stephanie has called in a guy that looks an awful lot like her to help get the password for the St Mary's records system.

Carly walks back into Cheatin' Heart and lock eyes with Chloe who stopped dead while coming out of the bathroom when she spotted Sister Ann. Carly follows Chloe's terrified gaze and sees Sister Ann sitting with Daniel.

Sami and E.J. tell Roman and Caroline that they are engaged.

Rafe tells Victor that if Nicole is put away then she can't get her hooks into Brady. Hhmmm. This might be an offer that Victor can't refuse. :P

Stefano coaches Will into accepting E.J. and Sami's engagement. Um, ew.

E.J. gives Roman an impassioned speech on fatherhood and love and setting an example for Sydney. Um, okay. Uh. No.

Carly shoos Chloe back into the bathroom hallway then she goes to Daniel's table. Aaawwww! Carly said that she ran out because she has to take Ciara to a Brownie meeting. Even if it's not true, I love love love that it's something that Carly might be doing. Ciara needs Carly to be a parent to her. Carly is an awesome mom.
Sister Ann has to leave. Carly says, "So what's a nun doing in a bar?" Heeheee. :)
Daniel gets a call and has to leave. He asks Carly to go check on Chloe since she's been in the bathroom so long. Carly calls Chloe and says that they have to talk.

Okay, Ian (the Stephanie look-alike)has figured out that she wants something and agrees to it. He can read her very well. Smart guy.

Victor asks Rafe if he knows about Nicole's having been a porn star. Victor tells him that her dad was the one who got her started and that inside she's a broken little girl. Victor tells Rafe to convince Nicole that he's her white knight and she'll owe him. He says to do it before Brady falls again. Ooops. Too late!
Brady is drinking and tells Nicole that he's done listening to her.

Mel gets very hesitantly attacked by someone at the clinic.

Chloe and Carly meet on the pier (for yet another very public private conversation) and Carly says that she'll pick up Chloe first thing in the morning. Daniel walks up and has overheard that last line. He wonders what's up.

E.J. and Stefano are in the living room at the mansion. Stefano asks what would happen if Sami found out that E.J. had arranged the kidnapping. E.J. shushes Stefano and camera cuts to Sami in the doorway looking not happy.

Nicole is all frustrated in a very stilted soliloquy that she doesn't have the control over E.J. and Brady that she'd thought she'd have.

Days: Friday, August 13, 2010

Mel tells Philip that she's concerned about Brady, that he's been drinking and she thinks he and Arianna broke up and he's got something going with Nicole. She's feeling very grateful to have Philip right now.

Victor sees Brady drinking and makes a comment. Brady says that at least it's not coke.

Sami's being stupid and since she told Rafe "If you love me you'll stop me from marrying E.J." and he told her he wouldn't ('cause he's not going to play childish games) she tells E.J. that she wants to set a date.

Stephanie is hiding out in Chloe and Daniel's closet. She overhears Daniel saying that Chloe is pregnant with his baby. Have I mentioned that Stephanie annoys the snot out of me?

E.J. tells Sami that he wants to get married tonight. Um, eeeeeeewwwwwww! Doe eyed E.J. makes me squeamish.

Chloe and Daniel talk about baby stuff. He makes a comment about naming it after one of the Jonas Brothers since his last name is Jonas. He gets called to do an appendectomy and has them call Mel to observe.

Victor thinks that Brady is drinking because of Arianna. When he figures out that it's Nicole he's not amused.

Ha! Sorry, this is funny. Nicole tells Rafe that Brady broke it off with Arianna because he didn't love her and realized that he was in love with Nicole. Um, delusional much?

Victor is so much comic relief right now. Brady turns to leave the living room saying that he needs to change. Victor says, "Yeah, you're right. Oh, your clothes." (because Brady's wearing a swimsuit and towel) The thing is that John pulls it off really well, not corny or vaudevillian. You actually almost miss that he made a joke. Props to Mr. Aniston! Victor then goes on to call Nicole a 'Chimera' he says that she's a chameleon a shapeshifter (which isn't an accurate analogy) then says that she's still a fire breather. (In Greek mythology the Chimera is composed of several distinct animals it doesn't stop being a lion for example to become a snake. Here are references at Dictionary.com, Merriam-Webster and Britannica.com) Brady doesn't like is when Victor calls her a 'Gold digging slut.' Victor figures out that Brady still has feelings for Nicole. It's about time! Why does he sound so shocked? What did he think we were talking about?


Sami wants to get married at St Lukes by Father Matt. She wants a big wedding, but E.J. is a little apprehensive about having it at St Lukes where they had Grace's funeral. Kate has a coughing fit when she and Stefano find out that E.J. and Sami are engaged.

Creepy whiney Stephanie is hiding in the closet when she hears Chloe tells Philip that she's worried about Daniel telling everyone that the baby is his when it might be Philips. You knew that was coming. They just have to keep talking about the secret thing they did.

Daniel's appendectomy turned out to be a soccer injury. Mel says that maybe Stephanie had them call him. Daniel says that he's going to go 'dad' on her and asks if she and Stephanie aren't friends because of something Stephanie did or because Stephanie is with Nathan.

Rafe heads to the station to listen to the CD they recovered from Nicole's mom's locker.

Nicole thinks it will be a good idea to turn the CD over on her own and get into Brady's good graces.

Mel asks Daniel when he started defending Stephanie. He says, never. Then she says that she is over Nathan and wants the family and white picket fence but that one ting might stand in the way of her happiness. I'm guessing she's referring to Chloe maybe hurting Daniel.

Chloe is going stir crazy and she and Philip leave the apartment. Stephanie can now escape from the closet and set to work trying to find out everything that she can. I'm wondering if they're going to have her change the results of the paternity test to show that Daniel's the father even if he isn't so that she can keep Philip with Mel and therefore keep Mel away from Nathan.

Oh, I was wrong. Mel is considering working at St. Marys so that people don't think that the only reason she got the job at University Hospital because of who her parents are. Aawwww. That's kind of sweet.

Nicole tells Brady that the money is from a payoff for a story. Yup. This is boring and irritating. I'm only watching Nicole and Brady because Rafe and Arianna are involved.

Stefano offers Kate's experience in 'event planning' to help Sami with the wedding. Oh the looks those two give each other. Awesome! You can no only see the hate beaming across the room on their glares, but you could drives vehicles across it. Like a Golden Gate Bridge of animosity which is kind of ironic considering. :)

Rafe hears E.J.'s voice on the C but doesn't find out what he did yet.

Daniel tells Mel that she's just defining her individuality and that the new baby won't mean that he loves her any less. She gets teary eyed and he gets choked up and they hug. Aaawwwww, sweet.

Rafe figures it all out. He knows that E.J. paid Anna to kidnap Sydney and that Nicole has more copies of the CD and that he needs to find another one.

Ooo! Mel comes up to Stephanie at the hospital while Stephanie is searching for the test results on the computer trying to find out Chloe's results. Mel asks her what she's doing there before she can find the results.

Rafe tries to call Nicole but she doesn't answer. Rafe is looking intently at his laptop screen, I'm guessing there is info there that he's trying to decipher. The thing is that the editors have decided to do a multi-split screen so Rafe's scene pulls back and shrinks into the upper left corner, Nicole and Brady mauling each other is in the lower left and a vertical shot of E.J. and Sami kissing is the entire right side. Sooooo the end result makes it look like Rafe is watching video of the two couples smooching. I get where the editor was trying to take it, but the execution was not so smooth.

Days: Wednesday, August 11, 2010

Henderson is tired of press calling the house to get a comment. Vivian doesn't like the "vile headlines about Hope." The headline reads 'Hope Brady Confesses to Serial Muggings' Yup. That's pretty vile and predatory Vivian. Ha! :)

Recap of Rafe overhearing news of the E.J. Sami engagement. Then shot of Sami and Will. He says that what he wants doesn't matter to her. Rafe is going to town on a punching bag. He's not happy either.

Victor is upset that Bo didn't tell him about Hope. Bo tells Victor that he can't take his anger right now and Victor apologizes. Bo's is feeling all guilty and responsible for what happened. Stop it now Bo! You are not at fault for this. Seriously.

Hope tells Abe that he's not her lawyer, he's her victim. He's telling her that she still needs a fair trial. Okay, I'm tired of this now. I want fun Avenger back, not whiny Hope.

Victor tells Bo that it's not his fault, that it's Carly's fault. Dude, Victor.... Maggie shows up. She better not make me smack her too.

Maggie's there to check on Ciara. Bo tell's her that Ciara is with Doug and Julie.

E.J. wants a word with Hope.

Sami says that she and Rafe are over. Will tells her that she still loves him.

Rafe is still beating up the poor defenseless bag.

Victor comforts an upset Maggie and Vivian sees them.

Bo steps in to tell E.J. not to threaten 'my wife'. Ggrrrrrr. >:(

Abe and Lexi have Ciara at the beach. They are contemplating Ciara needing their love. What's killing me here, is that they're talking about her like she's an orphan who has lost both of her parents. She hasn't. She has Bo, and Carly is an excellent mother. Another, 'Ggrrrrr.' >:(

Hope tells Bo that he shouldn't be handling any of the paperwork on her case. True, very true. Brady wants to talk to Hope, she says that it's okay, and Bo leaves.

Rafe runs into Sami on the pier and tells her that he hears congratulations are in order then continues to jog by and leaves.

Brady tells Hope that he understands. She says that they all blame the pills and he says that they gloss over why she needed the pills in the first place. He tells her to not listen to that voice that tells her she can't come back.

Sami follows Rafe into the PD lockeroom. She asks what he meant by congratulations. He tells her that he heard she's getting married and that if it's true then she's out of her mind and she's not the girl he fell in love with.

Maggie tells Victor to respect that Vivian is his wife. That he shouldn't set out to hurt her. He asks Maggie if he can respect Vivian just when he's around Maggie, can they be friends then? She says that she realized that they didn't stop being friends, they just didn't see each other. Aawww. They're confidantes again.

Vivian has called Gus. He's kind of cute. Too bad he's a minion.

Sami tells Rafe that she didn't want him to know yet. That she wanted to figure out a nice way to tell him herself. Rafe is trying to not pay too much attention to her. Sami wants him to acknowledge that he drove her to this. She says that E.J. accepts her and loves her and that she loves him. Rafe asks her if she really loves E.J. they go back and forth, 'yes' 'I don't think so' until he kisses her and she kisses him back. Not just simple sweet pecks either. We're talking big time almost making out kinds of smooches.

Days: Tuesday, August 10, 2010

Julie comes to visit Hope at the station.

Arianna is in Rafe's office playing with pencils. Gaby is standing behind her. Rafe asks her if she's sad that she's no longer under suspicion.

Kate and will talk about Stefano. Will says that his mom wouldn't like to hear it, but that he kind of likes Stefano.

Chad walks up to Stefano in the Pub. He has questions about his mother. Stefano isn't going to tell him anything.

E.J. has Sami and the kids out at the beach for family day, but Sami can't stop thinking about Rafe.

Arianna is pissed because she thinks that Hope is faking not knowing and that she deliberately pinned the muggings on her.

Julie still blames Bo for what Hope went through. >:(

Sami agrees to marry E.J. Far away at the station, Rafe feels the shift and Gaby asks him if something is wrong. He says that it's nothing.

Will shows up at the Pub to find Chad, but no Stefano.

Arianna sees Hope at the station and tells her that she owes her big time. Hope agrees.

Rafe runs into Sami on the beach. Rafe apologizes for acting like a jerk at the pub. Sami apologizing for making a big deal about it. He asks her if anything is knew and she gets nervous.

Chad tells Will that he needs business experience to take an advanced business class and prove to his dad that he's serious. Will says that because the DiMeras are sucking up to his mom that he has what Chad needs. Will offers to have Chad work with him on the project. D.A. Woods tells Chad he isn't going anywhere.

Arianna and Hope are now back in the office. Arianna goes over everything that happened and points out that it was Hope asking her what she did to make Hope set her up.

D.A. Woods tells Chad that he's going to Chicago to work on a task force and may not be back before he goes to North Carolina. Chad is upset because his dad had promised to drive down with him and stop and visit relatives along the way. Kate is watching from a distance.

Will tells Stefano that he wants to work together with Chad. Stefano does not approve. D.A. Woods, doesn't care if Chad goes to college or stays in Salem. He's an ass. Sorry for the language, but it had to be said. Will figures out that Stefano's aversion to Chad working with Will is about Maddie.

Arianna is really not being easy on Hope. She's wrong, but not having all the information, she's justified.

Sami gets defensive when Rafe brings up E.J. She says that she doesn't even know Rafe anymore.

Stefano tells Will that he's got concerns about bringing the D.A.'s son into the inner workings of his business. Will asks if that's true then why did Stefano leave when Chad asked about Maddie.

Arianna tells Hope that there isn't a pill that will make you evil unless you're already harboring those tendencies. She tells Hope that it will be hard for her on the inside because everyone will see right through her.

Doug is trying to convince Hope to get a lawyer. She tells him that she won't use the pills as her defense.

Kate walks up to Chad and asks how he feels about unsolicited advice. She tells him that his dad is grieving. Chad says that he'd consider that if it was anything new. He tells her about growing up, and says that it's time to 'face facts' that his dad just doesn't want him around.

Kate asks if she can help. Chad says that it's best to just let it go. That it's not like they're family. He walks away. Kate says, very quietly, "You're wrong about that." Ooooooooo. New mystery. :D

Gaby tells Ari to move on. Arianna asks what the point would be. She says that Hope destroyed everything and Ari doesn't know how to get it back.

Hope tells Doug not to be nice to her, that she doesn't deserve it. He tells her that the last 2 months don't wipe out everything that she was before that and that he and Julie and etc. still love her.

Sami tells Will that she and E.J. are engaged. - E.J. is at the pier and tells Stefano over the phone and Rafe overhears.

Days: Wednesday, July 21, 2010

Sami brings Rafe mail from the townhouse. He asks her why she stopped by his office and asks her if the mail is an excuse.

Arianna shows up at the DiMera mansion and tells E.J. that he's not working for her anymore.

Brady is on the phone defending and touting Ari's innocence when Nicole shows up at the Kirakis mansion.

Recap of the end of the Avenger/Bo scene from Tuesday. .... "How's your coffee?" He's contemplating instead of drinking and she asks if something is wrong and he says, "You know exactly what's wrong."

Sami tells Rafe that her mom is selling the townhouse so she and the kids are staying with E.J.

Bo and Avenger talk about why she's there, that she wants to talk to him. He finally takes a drink of his coffee.

Sami admits to Rafe that E.J. told her he loves her. She says that she thinks it's only fair that she gives him another chance.

Bo asks 'Hope' why she's staring at him like that. She eventually gets to 'I wish that you'd fought harder. For us.'

E.J. convinces Arianna that he's no longer going out of town and that she's not a distraction or a burden to him. She asks him how he's going to prove that she's innocent.

Bo says that he fought as hard as he could and that he was heartbroken. Avenger doesn't believe him. She says that all she knows is that when Carly came back he stopped being heartbroken. He says that he begged her to stay and that she took his daughter and left him alone in the house. Avenger gets angry and says that he still refuses to take responsibility. He says that he does for hurting her when Ciara was kidnapped and for making her feel like her thoughts and feelings didn't matter. She says, "How soon was it after Carly arrived in Salem was she sleeping in my bed?" Bo say, "Carly did not replace you." Avenger asks him how he'd put it, now Bo is starting to feel the effects of the pills. He asks her if it would change things if he had Carly move out and had her and Ciara move back in. She's moved and hopeful and stops him from taking another drink. He asks her why she did that and she's got tears in her eyes.

Giovanni runs in and the way E.J. interacts with him has Arianna smitten. Ggrrrr!!! >:( She's hired him back as her council.

Brady tells Nicole that he's still conflicted about his feelings. She asks why he kissed her. He says that he's still going to try to do everything he can to bring the real culprit to justice.

'Hope' asks Bo if he would really break up with Carly. He says that he doesn't think that that's what she wants. He says that he's trying to get her to see that Carly isn't the cause of their problems. She's no longer remorseful about the pills. Avenger says, "Carly is innocent in all this." and that Bo is the one at fault. Bo stands but it very dizzy.

Bo tells Avenger that he's dizzy and doesn't understand. She says of course he doesn't. That she's not to blame and Carly isn't to blame, that he is the one. Bo if finally overtaken by the pills and passes out on the couch.

Brady tells Nicole that if she thinks that Ari is guilty then they have a problem. She lets him know that she's thinking of herself and wants a future with Brady. He tells her that he will always be her friend and she says goodbye and goes to leave. He stops her and kisses her cheek. Tells her to take it one step at a time. He's being her sponsor right now. :)

Avenger is talking to herself and taunting a passed out Bo. After vowing to see that he doesn't hurt her anymore Avenger leaves the house.

The secretary brings in a file for Rafe. She's got her eye on him and Sami is not happy.

Nicole and E.J. end up at the docks together. She tells him that she's going to blackmail him until the end of time. He says that he'll stop her. She tells him that she wants Arianna (in prison I'm guessing)

Back in the poker/webcam viewing/multipurpose room Dr Baker has the things that Avenger requires. She has disabled the fire alarm at the house without leaving prints. She tells him that Bo was there and that she drugged him to pass out. Dr Baker asks if he's just passed out. She says that if she wanted him dead already then he would be and that she wants him to burn. Dr Baker says that this wasn't part of the plan and he wants it stopped.

Nicole says that she wants E.J. to prove that Ari is innocent and the sooner the better.

Avenger says that this is the only way that she can truly move on. Dr Baker says that he can't be a part of it. Avenger says that she doesn't need him then she leaves.

Bo is waking up and calling to/looking for Hope.

Rafe asks Sami if she loves E.J. and she can't say 'Yes.'

E.J. says that he'll prove Ari is innocent. Rafe sneaks up and hears them talking.

Avenger pours gasoline all over Bo and the living room floor. She lights a match and moves it toward the floor....

Days: Tuesday, June 15, 2010

Dr Baker watches Brady take a sip of his drugged drink.

E.J. knows that Stefano is meddling with Rafe and Anna. He's on the phone with him now. Grrrr.

Ooo, Anna wakes up.

Repeat scene of Chloe telling Father Walton that they can't get married.

Sami is reading an article about Arianna and says that she knows Rafe doesn't want anything to do with her, but that Ari is his sister and she needs help. The living room at the Dimera mansion is completely littered with brightly colored (I'm assuming foam) blocks that are supposed to be Sydney's and Giovanni's however there are a few of them on the top of the piano. Neither of the kids would have put them up there unless E.J. sets Sydney up there while he plays or something. :) Does E.J. play the piano? Hhhmmm?

Rafe struggles with the assassin guard and gets knocked out.

Anna struggles to get out of bed. After all the time she's been in the hospital he toes are still perfectly manicured. :D

Brady is feeling the effects of whatever drugs they put in his drink. One of the poker guys (the one getting paid for the day :D ) asks him if he's got some kind of problem. Brady says, He's got to go and leaves.

Sami just got a call from Lucas about Alice. She is distracted and falling apart and E.J. is being level headed and takes her to see Alice.

Chloe asks to speak to Daniel alone. Carly takes everyone outside. Mel asks Philip and Carly if they have any idea what just happened. Cut to Daniel and Chloe he asks her the same question. She tells him that he'll understand once she explains it all.

Anna is dressed and ready to go (if she weren't so dizzy) but jumps back into bed and covers up when she hears someone coming. I'm thinking it's Dr Carlos. :D

Rafe fakes out the guard and sucker punches him to gain the upper hand and then knows him out.

Philip says that he doesn't know why Mel thinks Carly knows something about Chloe. Mel points out Chloe's 180 to cancel the wedding. Carly says that she's just concerned for her patient and that they should go somewhere private to talk. Philip says, "No!" and Mel says, "What's up with you lately?"

Father Matt goes back into Chloe's room and she asks to have confession and receive absolution before she and Daniel start their new life together.

Brady wanders to the docks and passes out while Dr Baker watches.

We don't see who it was in Anna's room. They leave and she starts to get out of bed again.

The second guard brings Shane back and, seeing his the other guy out cold, holds a gun on Rafe.

Rafe takes out the other guard while he's distracted trying to find out who fake Bureau guy is. Shane and Rafe walk out of the cell and make funny small talk before leaving.

Mel and Carly are at the Pub. Mel wants to know why they had to come all the way there to talk. Carly says that she didn't want to talk in the first place but that she knew Mel wouldn't drop it. Heehee. Mel asks Carly if she thinks that Chloe will hurt Daniel. Carly says that she knows how much Daniel loves her and that Chloe has to potential to hurt him being the kind of person that she is. Mel, very much her mother's child, asks "What kind of person is Chloe?"

Dr Baker pours a bit of scotch in Brady's mouth while he's passed out. So that if he does remember what happened that no one will believe him.

Jen asks Sami about the kids. Sami mentions that Ali is living with Lucas in Asia. But wasn't she only supposed to be there for 2 weeks? I'm so confused. Sami then tells Jen about Rafe.

Daniel tells Nathan that he and Chloe are getting married today. Nathan is unsure. Philip remembers the phone conversation he had with Chloe about Nathan knowing.

Chloe asks Father Matt to talk to Carly and tell her that what she's doing is wrong and will ruin several lives. He tells her that she knows he can't do that.

Carly is checking in with the nurses station just like she promised Philip that she'd do so that they don't miss the wedding. She tells Mel that Father Matt is still in with Chloe. Carly says that she wishes Daniel wasn't rushing it. Mel says that sometimes rushing is a good thing. She says that she still had feelings for someone else when she married Philip and that after the wedding things have been great.. Carly looks contemplative at this news.

Father Matt agrees with Carly that Chloe needs to tell Daniel, and that Philip needs to be honest with Melanie. He reminds her that marriage is a sacrament that cannot be based on a lie. He leaves the room and when Daniel asks he says that he can't perform the wedding.

Sami has an Alice flashback. Aawww a very young Alison Sweeney. That's when Sami was evil. Hehehehe. :)

Jen's parents! :) Bill Horton and Laura Spencer. (Not THAT Laura Spencer. :) )

Carly is very nervous. She's playing with her phone. She tells Mel that she hopes that she knows that she can rely on her. Mel: "Kind of like a mom?" Carly: "Kind of like a mom." Aaawwww!!!!!!

Sami tells E.J. that she wants to stay at the mansion even though her apartment is now fixed.

Rafe makes it back to Anna's room only to find it empty.

Days: Monday, June 14, 2010

Mel got flowers for Chloe for the wedding. That's sweet. She's so like her mom. :)

Chloe is wearing a white hoodie sweatshirt instead of or over her hospital gown. :) She tells Carly to stop threatening her and to just let her one little mistake go.

Poker Guy tells Brady the money clip he saw was at a back room poker game. Brady asks who had it.

Rafe and Shane are planning escape using the swiped intel and schematics.

Dr Baker and Nicole are doing the back and forth blame game in the open on the docks fairly loudly citing what parts they played in setting up Arianna. These are the brilliant criminal masterminds people! Ha!

Mel got Daniel a wedding present it's a necklace with a medallion of the patron saint of marriage. Daniel tells her that she tries to hide it but that she's a very sweet girl. She says that she just knows that he said he didn't know if he would make it if he lost the love of his life again and that it was her way of saying that she hopes that no one takes Chloe from him. Such a sweet sweet scene! Shawn and Molly are perfect here!

Chloe tells Carly she's a hypocrite for lying to Daniel for 20 years and then trying to force Chloe to tell him about her "one mistake".

Mel tells Daniel that she thinks she may have freaked out about Chloe because she just found him and didn't want to share him.

Carly tells Chloe that she's not trying to be evil and that Chloe's in the hospital because she saved her life. Chloe has a flash of guilt knowing that Carly's life wouldn't have been in danger in the first place if it weren't for her and says that Carly saved her life in the O.R. so they're even. Carly suggests that Chloe postpone the wedding until she's out of the hospital in order to give herself time to think. Carly says that she knows and can see how much Daniel loves Chloe. Chloe asks if she can see how much she loves him, that she made the mistake because she thought that she'd lost Daniel to Carly. Carly says that she'll never understand how Chloe got that impression. Then she gets all soft voiced and compassionate, and says "Tell him. It'll be okay." Then she gives her this (I wish I could make this easier for you) look and gets up and leaves the room. Seriously with concern like that how can anyone in Salem NOT be head-over-heels a fan of Carly? Vivian comes in right after Carly leaves and asks Chloe what happened. Vivian tries to make it sound like Chloe is talking crazy about 'a little plan'.

The guards have come to 'kill' Shane. Rafe is all protective, "why do you want to kill him?" Ha. This is the funniest political prisoner jail that I've ever seen. "We want to interrogate him, and if he's uncooperative the he's as good as dead." Rafe: "Look at this guy. He's very cooperative." Ha!

Vivian thinks that she's clever for figuring out that Nicole is still in love with Brady. Um, Viv babe, the entire TOWN knows that. :)

Brady shows up at the 'floating' poker game that's always in the same room." Dr Baker shows up right after him but hasn't gone in yet.

A guard shows up to let Rafe out. Hmmm. I smell a rat.

Philip shows up in Chloe's room early for the wedding. Chloe contemplates telling Daniel once again. Philip jumps in with the 'no no no no no no no'. Okay, bored now, again.

Dr Baker recognizes Brady and doesn't go into the game. Surprised? Nah, me neither.

Daniel, Mel and Father Walton (Father Matt) show up at Chloe's room.

Stefano checks in with one of his men who has a man on the inside as one of Rafe and Shane's guards. I'm guessing it's the guy pretending to be sent by the bureau who now is ready to strangle Rafe.

Dr Baker has Brady's drink drugged by one of the guys at the poker game. Sami is talking to dream Rafe and he's telling her that there is no more 'them' while she's clinging to hope.

Rafe was actually out of it enough to believe the fake guard and let his guard down enough to be surprised from behind.

Chloe and Daniel are about to have the ceremony. Mel gives her the flowers and it's cute, then Father Walton attempts to begin the service when Carly walks in. She doesn't say anything, but Chloe looks at her and tells the room that they can't get married.

Days: Tuesday, June 8, 2010

Okay. Rafe and Shane fighting and the guard comes to stop it and Rafe 'accidentally' punches him while 'aiming' for Shane.

Philip's guilt is causing him to have nightmares.

At the last minute Chloe has second thoughts and tries to pull Carly from the elevator.

Chloe gets stuck in the elevator and screams as lights flash and alarms sound. Daniel hears the scream and heads up the stairs.

Uh oh, Maggie's worried about Alice. :(

Victor and Vivian on at their hotel. He's on to her and knows that she's up to something. Cut to Chloe lying unconscious and bloody on the floor under the elevator. I guess she's in the basement?

Aw, Shane and Rafe are busted.

Daniel finds Chloe She's still out.

Vivian won't tell Victor what's up so he threatens her again that nothing better happen to Carly.

The guard that Rafe knocked out looks all dejected and sad. Hehehe.

Victor is reminding Vivian of their agreement regarding Carly. Vivian brings up Maggie and Victor goes to the bar to have a drink.

Lexi is going to work on Chloe with Carly assisting. Interesting turn of events :)

Mel just got a call from Daniel about Chloe.

Rafe is returned to the cell after receiving his 'punishment'. They bring Shane back in too. So their plan all along was to get caught so that they could get information? Soooo confused.

Brady explains what happened with D.A. Woods and the check. She apologizes for doubting him. He decides to come clean and tell her about being with Nicole when Gabi found him.

Vivian is calling the hospital to check up on Carly and finds out that Chloe was the one in the elevator. Carly's in scrubs!!!!!!!!!!!!! :) She just told Mel and Philip that she was supposed to be in the elevator and that Chloe saved her life.

Sami and E.J. kissing. Rafe needs to stay far away from her when he comes back. She doesn't deserve him.

Oooooooo. Carly is telling Mel and Philip what happened. That she and Chloe were arguing and that she was on the elevator when Chloe stopped her and that they had a struggle and then Chloe ended up in the elevator and then it fell. Mel says, "Wait a minute. Why was Chloe here so late? What were you two arguing about?" Keep in mind that Carly has only been telling Mel that she thinks Chloe and Daniel should get married and that Chloe makes Daniel happy. Mel has no idea that Carly has any doubts whatsoever about Chloe.

Daniel is sitting by Chloe's bed holding her hand. He still has (very reddish pink) blood on his hand. Um, someone should have made him clean up or at least the blood should be the color of dried blood, not Calliope's lipstick. :D Chloe is coming too and says, "Daniel? I'm sorry."

Rafe and Shane's recon mission yielded info on where the guard towers are. Woo!

Sami stops the E.J. kiss. I think she regrets it. Heehee.

Days: Monday, June 7, 2010

Aaaw, little Giovanni misses Rafe and won't take off his tiny FBI jacket.

Rafe and Shane are bored and locked in a cell. I missed Shane. I didn't realize that until now. Charles is awesome! :)

E.J. is apologizing to Arianna that she has to stay another night in jail. She jokes that at least it's an upgrade from 'Statesville' because she's got a single bed cell.

Lexi is at the hospital and comes upon Carly contemplating (yet again) telling Daniel.

Chloe calls Vivian's guy. He's got everything in place and tells her he'll text her when it's ready and she just has to get Carly on the the elevator then. Hmmm? She's very reluctant to to it.

Lexi offers to stay on shift for Carly so that Carly can take care of whatever she needs to do in person. She's still debating whether she should be the one to tell Daniel. Aaaaaaand Chloe is still debating whether she wants to go ahead with Vivian's plan. Lots of indecision going on here.

Oooo Arianna! At least we know what she wants. She wants out of jail and for Brady to have believed her. :D E.J. is apprehensive of having to trust Nicole to do the right thing. Arianna is giving reasons that Nicole won't back out, E.J. is giving reasons why she would. I can't like E.J. it goes against everything that I've felt about him so far. His being nice to Arianna is making that difficult. :D

Nicole is so manipulating Brady. That's nothing new. :)

Chloe is talking to the voices in her head. She decides for the moment to try and call off Vivian's guy.

Okay, Shane and Rafe are REALLY bored. Shane is musing that his very expensive watch (so expensive that it has a name I can't remember or pronounce) which the guards took was probably sold for 50 pesos.

E.J. is home Sydney has gotten so big! Giovanni is ignoring E.J. he's drawing a picture of the family. Sami tells him he'll have to add Will and Ali and he says, "And Rafe" Sami is unsure about that.

Carly decides not to go tell Daniel so she lets Lexi leave.

Chloe can't get through to Vivian's guy so she calls Vivian and starts to leave a voice mail. Chloe is about to bolt to stop Carly from getting on the elevator and when she opens the door she runs into Daniel.

Um the pillow case on Shane's bunk looks like it's sateen or some kind of shiny cotton. How'd they end up in a luxury jail for political prisoners? I don't think Rafe and Shane would be treated as nicely by the CIA here. lol

Sami is telling E.J. what a good guy he is when they hear Giovanni scream and they rush off to investigate.

Nicole is putting doubts into Brady's mind as to the date he wrote the check. Um, does he not have a duplicate checkbook? D.A.Woods overhears Nicole telling Brady "We can lie to the police." Good times. ::eyeroll:

Okay, Giovanni ran down the stairs and fell. Now he may have a concussion but he's okay. E.J. is consoling Sami.

Nicole tells D.A. Woods that he shouldn't have been listening in on a private conversation (at the Brady pub fyi) because it's a free country. He laughs and tells her that next time she's thinking about committing perjury to stay home and whisper. Ha! Love it!. He then tells Brady that what he heard is enough to taint the testimony and that now Arianna doesn't have an alibi. Nice work Nicole.

Daniel hears Carly's voice mail to call her. Chloe steps off the elevator at the hospital on her way to keep Carly from dying. She tells Carly that she has to talk to her right now.

D.A. Woods goes to see Arianna and tells her that her alibi is shot. Um, being a victim should he even bee allowed to see her (the suspect) in private, D.A. or not?

Carly leads Chloe to the lounge/waiting room (wow a private place to have a conversation in Salem?!?) and they continue the discussion from earlier. Carly says, "What happened? It sounded like you threw it (her cell phone) across the room." Heehee. :) 'Cause that's what happened. Then they continue Carly finally getting out "If you don't tell Daniel the truth before you get married then you'll regret it." Chloe pauses and seems to ponder this. Meanwhile Daniel is wondering why Carly isn't answering her phone. ....Oh no! Bad thought. What if Daniel is on the elevator heading to look for Carly when Vivian's guy does his thing? Hhhmmmm? Can't wait to see if that happens. Oh, Chloe didn't have a moment of clarity she's upset at Carly for trying to run her life. Chloe brings up the 'crazy' again. Carly is trying to say that that's not what she's saying. Chloe says, "What if I really am crazy you should be careful. Don't mess with the crazy woman." Carly says, "Are you threatening me? Don't! This conversation is over." Wow she's just lost the sympathy that she had for Chloe's plight. She walks away and Chloe follows her. She's getting ready to get on the elevator and Chloe stops her asking her to promise to not tell Daniel. Carly doesn't promise and Chloe goes back to contemplating letting Vivian's plan happen.

Shane and Rafe are fighting to create a distraction for the guards. Hehe.

Carly is trying to figure out why Chloe is thinking these things. Chloe says that Carly's done this before convinced people that someone is crazy to get them out of the way. Chloe gets the signal and lets Carly wait for the elevator.

Days: Friday, May 28, 2010

We open with Maggie telling Victor to run away. He has a thought and looks at Maggie "What s ride it could be." Aawww. He wants Maggie to go with him. Maggie: "You could do a world of good for the people of Greece." Aaawww, I really like this Maggie Victor dynamic.

Nicole and Kate are in the garden. They have giant martini glasses! :)

Maggie comes into the foyer where Carly and Melanie and Chloe are waiting. Mel and Chloe and Maggie are trying to figure out why Victor is doing it. Carly is silent.

Bo tells the guys that Victor is marrying Vivian because of something he put into motion, but he doesn't tell them what it is.

Maggie has a plan. She's worried that this is only Phase 1 for Vivian and that she's wanting to isolate Victor from his family. Maggie wants everyone to stay close and put the pressure of their presence on Vivian.

Bo tells the guys that he made Victor responsible for 'containing' Vivian, and he feels that it's his fault so he needs to stay. Daniel wants to know how he and Philip will handle Vivian's trying to kill Mel after she and Victor are married.

Victor is determined to hold up his end of the bargain, and hold her to her end.

Hey, it's Rafe! He's going to get a roomie in his prison cell. The guard says he's an assassin.

Carly wants the guys to listen to Maggie's plan. It is a good plan.

Kate is trying to smooth things out for Victor with Philip. He's ready to leave, but Mel steps out to talk to him about that.

Victor comes into the foyer and thinks everyone has left.

Mel wants Philip to talk to Maggie before he decides anything because "Maggie explains it better than I do."

Bo wants to talk to Mel. He thanks her for everything she's doing for his brother and everything. Mel: "You've just saying that cause you want to get it good with my mom." Awww.

Ciara wants to put her gold star from school in her treasure box, right away. Hope says they have to stop off at Victor's anyway.

Victor walks into the den and sees everyone still there. Awww.

Vivian is wearing black and red not the veil that Maggie was looking at earlier. What happened?

The wedding officiate gets to "Speak now or forever hold your peace." and all of the guests are making faces and covering their mouths. Carly asks Bo if he's sure he doesn't want to stop this. He says the ball is in Victor's court.

Rafe's roomie arrives. He's been beaten and is passed out. Rafe is tentative, but approaches the new guy. He pulls the hood off the new guy's head and says, "Oh my God, it's you." The camera pans down and it looks like it's Shane (Donovan)! Woohoo!!!!!

Victor has something to say. Vivian says, "You can't object at your own wedding." Victor says, "Says who?" Heehee. Victor is thanking everyone for coming and staying and that they all probably think he's crazy. Kate: "He wrote his own vows. How sweet." Victor: "You probably all want an explanation for what I'm doing. Well you don't always get what you want."

Whoa!!! Shane is off, he wakes up and attacks Rafe.

Victor to wedding officiate, "Vivian, this one is Vivian." Hehehehe. Kate, Nicole and Carly are all remembering their own wedding to Victor. Vivian is remembering her first wedding to him also. Victor is so going half-assed through the ceremony. Victor walks off "I need a drink." Ha!

Rafe finally gets Shane off of him and starts explaining who he is and that he knows who Shane is. He has to bring up Sami to make Shane stop and listen.

Kate to Victor: "All the scotch in the world isn't going to make you forget what you just did."

Victor to Bo: "Are you happy now?"
Bo: "No"
Victor: "Neither am I."
Bo: "I didn't want you to marry her, I wanted you to out her in jail.."
Victor: "You don't want Vivian in jail for the sake of justice. You want her in jail for Carly."
Bo:"So?"
Victor: "So if my wife. God it pains me to say that. If my wife belongs in jail, so does your precious Carly."
Carly overhears that. I'm guessing Bo didn't let her in on that little piece of why he was putting the pressure on dear old Dad.

Carly is still listening from across the room. Bo says that it isn't Carly's fault. Victor says that all the misery started when she came back. Bo says, "Acutally I recall being pretty miserable before that." Hehe. Yep, yep you were.

Mel overhears Daniel say that he and Chloe are getting married as soon as possible. Mel is not happy. Nicole wants Carly, Kate, Nicole and Vivian to take a photo together to have all of the Mrs Kiriaki past and present. Heehee.

Shane is having Rafe tell him as much as he can to prove he is who he says he is. Rafe mentions Kimberly, but can't name her and Shane's kids "Sami's family tree has a lot of branches." Heehee. Shane is surprised that Sami Brady had ANOTHER Dimera child. Hehehe. Shane tells Rafe that he's worse off for being associated with Shane.

Victor tells Maggie that he thought halfway through the ceremony that they would be at the airport right then.
Maggie chastises Victor for going against everyone and making a deliberate effort to make Vivian miserable and hurt her feelings. Victor says Vivian doesn't have any feelings. Maggie calls Vivian and idoit. "You'd have to be an idiot to marry you." Ouch Maggie. :)

Shane is talking about what he was doing and how he got caught. The ISA has 'disowned' him after he got caught as standard operating procedure. Shane and Rafe both want to get out. They have a deal to help each other get out.

Daniel announces to the peeps at Victor's that he and Chloe are getting married right away too. Mel is not happy and downs the last of her champagne. Carly gives Chloe the "Tell Him" look.

Bo smells something wrong with Daniel's announcement. Carly tries to cover for Chloe.

Oh, Hope and Ciara just got to Victor's. Vivian is throwing the bouquet. Carly catches it just as Hope walks in. Ha!

Days: Monday, May 24, 2010

Wow, Carly is so upset on Daniel's behalf. She has just pegged Chloe.
Can I just say ...... Carlyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Carry on. :)

Bo and Daniel neither one think Arianna is the mugger.

Oh! Brady just saw Nicole with an envelope with Arianna's name on it.
She's like, it's nothing, just some stuff.
Hope is like, "I'd like to see some stuff." Hehehe.

Anna's waking up, who wants to bet that Rafe finds out nothing?

Uh, Gabi just brought up Ari's juvenile records and wonders if Ari has told Brady. This doesn't sound good.

Oh! Sami and E.J. were in this episode, but nothing moved forward. I didn't take notes on it as I was watching at work and fielding supervisor requests at the same time. Had to drop something, so I dropped the storyline that's moving so slowly.

Bo! Re: Carly staying with Chloe and Daniel, "Chloe had a problem with that?" Of course she did you big goober!

Chloe looks like she's completely confused. She was expecting a huge fight from Carly, she is totally off balance now.

SpaIsland Dr Carlos tells Rafe to stop badgering Anna and puts more stuff in her IV. I'm guessing it's not to help her wake up.
I think SpaIsland Dr Carlos might be in Stefano's pocket too.

Aw, Ari was a gang girl. That kind of make me like her a little more. She's really turned her life around. ::hugs::

Okay, so not a gang girl, but still. ::hugs::

Chloe is defensive now and thinks Carly is trying to be all 'high and mighty'.
Carly re Daniel: "He's good and he's generous and he's kind." Sorry, but I soooo got an Olivia flashback of her talking to Doris about Natalia.
Oooooo Carly: "Would you rather he found out from you or from me?"
Chloe: "You wouldn't..."
Carly: "I'm sorry, but one way or other he needs to know."
Did I mention that I love this scene?

Chloe just calmed down and started crying that she's wanted to tell Daniel.
Carly: "I'm not trying to torment you. I'm trying to help."
Chloe: "Fine I'll tell him, but I'm gonna tell him it was your fault because I thought he was cheating on me with you."
Carly: "You tell him, any way you have to, but you tell him." Carly!


Arianna explains that her boyfriend at the time named her when she didn't actually do anything.
Hope believes her and doesn't think she did it. (for now)
Brady stays behind and talks to Ari. He believes her too and says that she can tell him anything in the world.

SpaIsland Dr Carlos takes away the IV stimulant. Rafe is not okay with it. SI Dr Carlos says that if she's going to talk, then she's reached that point and the stimulant wouldn't be helping any more.
Stefano knows that Anna is awake. He's getting his info straight from SI Dr Carlos isn't he?

Boss asking me questions while I'm trying to work and watch and comment. Ha!

Nicole just told Dr Baker to tell Avenger that 'he's the man' and he's in charge now. Ha! That's not going to go over well at all!

Carly comes home to Bo and he can tell she's upset. She says that she's fine now that he's there. Aawwww!

SI Dr Carlos flees the room when a militia guy shows up and arrests Rafe. Whaaa?!? I did not see that coming!

Daniel wants Chloe to relax. Yeah Chloe, relax and TELL HIM!

Daniel! Shut-up and let her TALK!

So of course Anna says 'E.J.' while Rafe is not in the room.

Days: Tuesday, May 18, 2010

Anna is still choking.

Okay, question.... does Nicole intend for that little flashlight to have been 'the weapon' in the muggings? A Mini-Mag is never going to make a wound like the butt of a handgun.

Avenger is outside the door with her gun drawn.

Sami thinks that E.J. is distracted because he must have 'sensed' that Sydney was upset.

Rafe is soooo not budging and is letting Anna pass out from not being able to breath. Then he gets a little concerned. "Meryl Streep you are not."

Maggie is worried about Alice. She doesn't feel well and hasn't since Mickey died. ::sniff::

Avenger walks away before Nicole can leave the hideout.

Maybe the reason Sydney can't sleep is because she's wearing a tutu. That's active wear people not sleepwear. Just sayin'.

Ha! Rafe sat Anna upright and she's got food on her face. Heehee. Nice touch.

Avenger: "I didn't know I was working with such a celebrity."
Now Dr Baker is having to explain his association with Nicole. She's mad at him and says that he's betrayed her, "Not a smart move."

Nicole runs into Roman at Java and asked Roman if there are any leads on Brady's case. He thinks it's funny that she's asking about justice being served, when if justice had been served she'd still be in prison.

Sami is amazed at the bond Sydney and E.J. have 'even though she was with Anna all those months.' Oh, Sami, the things you don't know.

Mia's been cutting classes. Big surprise. Maggie needs to send her to boot camp not dance conservatory.

Mia tells Maggie that cutting class isn't irresponsible because she's planning on dropping out and becoming a dancer.

Avenger is laying into Dr Baker for even playing nice with Nicole.

Ooooo. Avenger is adamant about not letting Arianna or 'any other woman' take the fall for them.

Sami being jealous of E.J.'s bond and time with Sydney would be so much more compelling if she were saying these things to Rafe and not E.J.
Can this please, please be the last day we get them for at least a week?

Avenger: "And how do I know you're not 'just humoring' me?"
Baker: "You're a hell of a lot scarier than she is." Heehee.
Avenger: " I have taken control. I will never let another man ruin my life. Ever." Hmm?

Sami and E.J. ... you know the story.

Mia is all whiny. "Why would I even want to stay here where nobody cares about me. Except you."
If she wasn't so manipulative I might actually feel sorry for her. Right now I want to smack her because I feel like she's playing Maggie.

Avenger left Dr Baker in the hideout and said, "you stay here. I have something to take care of."
Confused yet again by her actions.

Nicole calls Arianna who is crying in bed.
Nicole: "You sound stuffy. Do you have a cold?"
Arianna: "I'm shutting off my phone and going to bed."

The Dr on SpaIsland tells Rafe that he was right and Anna was poisoned. Rafe tells him to do whatever he can to save her because she's the key to everything.

Maggie is trying to get Mia to stay at least one more year until she finishes highschoool. Maggie says that it would be good for her to because she likes having her there. That they can help each other out. Mia says she'll stay. Hmm?

Nicole is checking on Arianna to make sure she really did turn off her phone.
Then she calls Dr Baker to tell him to "Get that evidence planted on a victim, any victim. Tonight."
Arianna is having trouble sleeping. I bet that she gets up and ends up having an alibi.

Ah, Diego didn't work tonight because when he came in he reported his uniform missing. Poor Diego. I hope they don't dock his pay for that.
Rafe has asked to talk to him. We'll find out.

E.J. is looking all googley eyed and playing with Sami's hair.

Rafe is keeping an eye on Anna in one of the nicest hospital rooms I've ever seen!

Okay, Roman just left the pub and Avenger knocked him out. That works perfectly with Nicole's plan since Arianna is upstairs debating calling Brady.

Carly!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Previews show Carly finding Roman!

SpaIsland Dr looks very familiar. Either the actor or character was named Carlos I think. Maybe on Night Court? {did a little research... Okay, SpaIsland Doc (Carly is original Island Doc takin' care of peeps in a bikini and lab coat.) Aaaaanyway, SpaIsland Doc is Carlos Lacamara http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0479801/ He was a busboy on Night Court. Ha! My mind is a crazy place sometimes. }

Days: Monday, May 17, 2010

Ciara runs in and says that Hope made her happy when they had their talk.
Hope has no idea what talk.
Ciara: "You don't remember?"

(side note, neither do we, that conversation doesn't seem to have aired for public consumption)

Hope that is a weak excuse!
Hope: "Well it's just that we talk all the time. Can you tell me what I said and maybe I can say it again sometime?"
Justin shows up and Ciara is very excited.
Arianna and Nicole are funny. Nicole tells her she wants to do a piece on employees stealing dishes to explain her taking the wine glass.

Oooo Anna just asked Rafe for a lawyer. I'm guessing she's forgotten that she said that the SpaIsland has a no extradition policy.

Hope is telling Justin that Ciara is making up conversations again.
She says that she's called Ciara's shrink and she's not doing it with her, only with Hope.
Justin tell Hope that she doesn't seem like herself. She takes offense, "Then who the hell am I?" Yep, not suspicious at ALL!

Brady: "I just don't see how you can be in the same room as E.J. and not throw up." Heehee. I agree. Important note: This has nothing to do with James Scott. I saw him in Dallas and think he's a fun, charming guy. E.J. on the other hand makes me nauseous.

Anna tells Rafe that the person who put this whole thing in motion is.... 'Sami'.
He knows that she's referring to keeping her pregnancy a secret. Anna is not going to roll over so easily. She tells Rafe he should be home trying to keep Sami from E.J.'s clutches. hehe

Hope says, "I just feel like my life veered off course when Ciara was kidnapped."
Hope says that she felt off balance again seeing Justin after he was attacked.

Kinsey just came over and told Arianna to keep her voice down and not scare off customers.
Then Kinsey told Nicole that she thinks a story on theft is a great idea, because Mrs Brady is doing everything she can to keep costs down in these tough economic times.
Arianna says, "Wow, I have not seen that much sucking up since my mother bought her first vacuum cleaner."
Why is Kinsey working? Is she being punished by her parents? I wouldn't think that Kinsey needs to work, she seems like a spoiled girl who is given everything she whines for from her parents.

Stefano confesses to E.J. that he is responsible for Sami staying at the DiMera house, by making the plumbing problem happen then telling every contractor in town to not take her calls.

Will walks into the foyer and hears E.J. telling Stefano that Sami's not there for him, but for Will, and that if she wants to take the kids and leave then he's fine with that.

Anna gets Rafe to talk about Sami and he catches her distraction trick and tells her it's not going to work.

Arianna tells Brady that Nicole stole a wine glass from the pub just to prove how easy it is.
Brady doesn't think it's a big deal.
Hope thanks Justin for seeing the good in her.
Justin says, "You know how I feel about you."
Hope: "I know, I just need more time." (well that's a back pedal from shooting him down before)
She says that she's getting a focus on the person doing the muggings. Heehee. Clean your mirror then Hope, you'll get a much clearer picture.

E.J. has a little talk with Will. He looks contrite and when Sami walks in she looks confused.

Rafe is going to play exposition and explain to Anna what he thinks happened.

Anna is channeling Calliope now. "I don't know. I'm hungry." Ha! Anna used the room service delivery to escape. Didn't see that coming Rafe?

Nicole just transfered Arianna's finger print from the wine glass to a flashlight.
She calls Dr Baker to tells him that she's ready to frame Ari.

Brady tells Arianna that he's not sure he can live with her working with Nicole.
Justin tells Hope to get some sleep so she can look at the evidence with a clear mind.
Justin says be happy when Hope has more time for him and she says, "Goodnight" then he leaves and she takes her pills.

Dr Baker tells Nicole that they can't do anything until he clears it with his partner.

Sami: "Hey, Will? Giani asked me earlier when I was going to teach him how to play poker." She's so happy that he didn't say 'no' that she's got a far off look when E.J. walks in. She asked him what he said to Will. yep, E.J. is a saint.

Okay, Pull-Ups commercial...The package said, "Learning Design" if so, then why is it right side up? Do they think the kids sit with a Pull-Ups in their hands looking at the picture? No, they are looking at it upside down while they're wearing it. I don't get it!

Dr Baker asks Nicole if she really thinks setting Ari up will get her Brady.
Brady doesn't like Ari spending so much time with and talking about Nicole. She says, "There's not much she can do to us now is there?"

Dude, poker game! ... Sydney is giving the evil Eye to everyone at the table!
Anna promises again to tell Rafe who she was working with "for real this time" and he hands her her fork. Bad Rafe. Plus he's got Anna sitting between him and the door.

Sami and E.J. are sitting on the couch talking about the poker game. Sydney is sitting on Sami's lap and playing with poker chips.

Avenger leaves the house. Repeat Avenger is on the move.

E.J. tells Sami that he's found a contractor and is paying for the repairs to the penthouse. Giani pops up from behind the couch and points two fingers at E.J.'s head, "Hands up! F.B.I." E.J. freezes and Sami says, "It's just a game. It's just a kids game." Ha!

Anna is ragging on Rafe for being uncomfortable with E.J. being there for Sami.

Ari: "You can't handle me working with Nicole." "Are you so addicted to her that you can't even hear her name without wanting to use?"

Brady is not happy. Arianna leaves.
Will says that Giani is hyped up from Poke and has already arrested Will and Sydney's stuffed Bunny. Hehe.

Anna says that she's heard about witness protection and doesn't want to live in a tract house, that she has a style to which she's become accustomed. Rafe has a little outburst which scares Anna and now she's choking on her food. Who saw that one coming?

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: 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: 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: Thursday, April 29, 2010

Rafe!!!! He's so mocking the agents telling him that they don't think that the Anna look-alike was a set up.

Sami told Rafe he was right and he got that little smirk, "you just said I was right." Heehee.

Dr Baker runs up to Hope, "You're just the person I'm looking for."
Hope: "Do I know you."
This is going to be fun.

Nicole is still interviewing E.J. he says, (on camera) "You set me up. To get me back. But you're not going to get away with it." Then he looks at Arianna and says, "Are you getting this?" Awesome!

Dr Baker is listening to the officer calling Hope detective and telling her about the 'mugging' cases.

Nicole tells Arianna to turn off the camera. Arianna: "Not on your life." Hehehehehe.

Aaww, Kate is remembering Madeline. Seriously need more backstory from these two!

Oh, sure.
Madeline just said, "I'm sure he'll (Chad's dad) calm down once they catch the man that attacked him." Haha. Yeah. That's gonna make things better.

Nicole just stole and destroyed the tape from Arianna's camera. Arianna should have swatted her hand or something.

Hope and Officer guy are talking details of the muggings (like the guy figuring out E.J. 's P.I.N.) right on the docks in front of Dr Baker. Ha, so much for investigation secrecy.

Rafe just told Sami that E.J. doesn't trust her with his kids. Hmm? Nah, not this time dude. I think he trusts her, he's just vindictive, and now he's in looooooveeee.

Kate is all, Madeline Woods came into my home and threatened me.
Oh, Kate. Admit it. You looooove her.

Dude! Mia is sooooo trying to play Madeline! Not a smart plan!

Brady is making sense, but he needs to stop defending Nicole.
Seeeeee Ari is back to insecure in that relationship. Brady, man.

Sami just told Rafe, "You're not exactly Agent Objective here."

Love how Rafe is painting Casa DiMera.
Sami is really dressed up for the police station.
Oh! Rafe just told Sami that E.J. wants her back.

Mia says to Madeline: "I just thought you'd feel something for your granddaughter."

Chad: "If Mia wants to mess with my mom, she picked the wrong person." Hehehehehehhe.

Rafe told Sami to be honest with herself for the kids' sake.

Arianna has to call the boss and explain why 'Nicole, pure innocent blameless Nicole, destroyed a news story."

Hope walks into E.J.'s room and he tells her that he remembered something.

Hmm? He's not going to turn in Nicole though. What's he going to say?

Ha!!!!! Mia is trying to get Madeline to tell Chad to give Mia another chance.

Rafe says, "So look me in the eye and tell me that E.J. hasn't tried to make a move on you."
Sami says, "I do not have feelings for E.J."
That's not what he asked Sami.
Rafe!!!!!!! And 'cause you have pretty eyes ....


Hope has her DVR out and tells E.J. to tell her everything he remembers.
We'll see.

Brady asked Nicole why she destroyed the tape because it makes her look guilty. She says she was scared because everyone will believe E.J. and not her and then pleads with Brady to not let her go back to prison and hugs him. Which of course Arianna witnesses.

Sami wants to be near Will. That's the reason that she gives Rafe for wanting to move.

Brady calms Nicole down. Then tells her that he told her not to come back here and this is a perfect example of why. Arianna also witnesses this.
Hope if grilling E.J. he's not as confident as he was a second ago.

Dr Baker sees a teaser for Nicole's news story about the muggings. He says, "I thought you were crazy. You're like a poster child for mental health compared to Detective Just-Visiting-from-Pluto." Ha! lmao

Stefano tells Madeline that the next time he asked to meet with her, not to ignore him. Does he know something? Does Kate talk in her sleep?

Hope: "You got hit from behind."
E.J.: "I know that."
Me: lol
Hope has figured out that it was maybe a woman who did it.

Brady tells Arianna that he didn't know she was there. She says, "I know. I wouldn't have wanted that to be for my benefit."
Brady and Arianna are doing really well. They are handling these little hiccups maturely.
This does not bode well in Soapland though does it?

Oooo Rafe is on the next plane out. I'm assuming Anna related.
He asks Sami to hold off her decision until he gets back from the work trip.
She says that she doesn't think she needs to hold off on her life.
Wow, she's behaving like such a child!

Mia has Random boy kiss her then slaps him.
Random boy says, "What was that for?"
Will says, "For us, it was for our benefit. She wanted to make us jealous."
Mia says that she doesn't want him she wants Chad.

Madeline says, "You and your lovely wife..." didn't catch the rest. She called Kate lovely!

Then Kate had a mem-mirage of her hands all bloody.
What did Kate and Maddie do?

Days: Friday, April 23, 2010

Hmmm? Wonder if we'll find out if Hope is Gina or Avenger. So, so confused.

Aw, Rafe had a Sami dream.

Sami is all squiggy over E.J. wanting her to move in.

Mel is sad and Maggie gets her to open up.
Mel says she's happy because she and Philip are finally going to be happy for the rest of their lives.
Philip is at Chloe's.

Carly and Maxine are trying to get Daniel to be still and not move around.

Oh, Chloe. Carly does not have Daniel's heart. listen to them.

Hope and Dr having a drink in the poker room. Still I'm confused.

E.J. is still using the "my father is sick" line to get the kids back to the mansion.

Hahahaha! E.J. said, "My father is not responsible for the problems in our family."


Oh! Dr Baker does not know who Hope/Avenger is. Interesting.

Hope/Avenger: "I like to .... rescue people. It's what I do." Really? Interesting.

Oh!
I wonder if Avenger is going to 'rescue' Bo or Justin or ..... Carly?

E.J. re Stefano: "My father is very ill, and he has softened a great deal."

Hehehe. E.J. call Stefano 'soft' to his face!

Daniel wants to call Chloe and Carly is trying to make him stay still because apparently too much movement can compromise the effects of the surgery.
I would have thought they'd keep him sedated until that fragile window had passed.

Rafe went to see Sami! Woohoo!

Maggie is trying to get Mel to say that she no longer has feelings for Nathan, and all Melanie will say is "I am committed to Philip."

Daniel is doped up and finds his cell phone fascinating.
He's not going to rest until he talks to or sees Chloe. Aaaww. It's so sweet.
To bad Chloe and Philip are mauling each other in solace.

Commercial Sidenote: I'm sooooo glad that they finally made Reese's in pieces.
Oh wait!
For international readers, or others who might not know, Reese's pieces were a total product placement in the movie E.T. They've been around for a while, they aren't new. It's very odd that they're marketing them as such.

Hope/Avenger is messing with Dr Baker. I have no idea what she's planning.

Melanie is going to tell Philip everything that happened with Nathan. She's being very mature.

Carly is speedy with the texting.
Okay, Chloe and Philip are not for work viewing. Had to minimize until the jazzy music goes away. Chloe and Philip both look like they regret it already. Raise your hand if you think Chloe just got pregnant! It's would classic soapiness if she couldn't get pregnant with Daniel, and Carly gave him a daughter, she's been feeling inadequate so her accidentally getting pregnant by Philip would be a classic storyline. We'll see. :)

Aw, Rafe tells Sami, "I will always love you."
BTW anyone who is liking Hope with a gun, needs to watch the movie 'Army of One' also known as 'Joshua Tree'
Saw it a loooong time ago. Was a fun movie.

Aw, Rafe tells Sami, "I will always love you."

BTW anyone who is liking Hope with a gun, needs to watch the movie 'Army of One' also known as 'Joshua Tree'

Saw it a loooong time ago. Was a fun movie.

Oh, Chloe, that wasn't very nice to call Daniel those names. He was NOT the one to cheat.

Sami! "E.J. is not manipulating me!"

Sami thinks that if she's with Sydney all the time then she will call her 'mama'.

Carly walks up to Chloe at the hospital, "Chloe good, I'm so glad you're here." She's excited and relieved, she knows that Daniel wants Chloe there so badly.
Chloe calls her a bitch. Chloe... don't make me smack you.

Melanie is just telling Philip everything.
She says that she told Nathan everything that she's telling Philip right now.
Philip was not expecting that.

Aw, Chloe is going to have to work out everything to make sense in her head.

Sami said, "Rafe was right. Damnit E.J." Mark this on your calendars!

Ooooo E.J. just ran into Dr Baker. This isn't going to be pretty.

Philip and Chloe are all completely regretting what happened.

Seeee. Talk to your sweeties before taking out your frustrations.

Sami is pissed.

Hope/Avenger knocked out E.J. Heeheehee

Days: Friday, April 16, 2010

Lunch and work and Days. Too much to do!
Ready for Days action. Pleeeeease say we get Carly today.
I need a Carly booster

Oooo. I forgot about CC and the cameras!

Philip skulking and spying on Mel is creepy.

Rafe thinks Anna is in Morocco.

Sami just told Ali that they were going to pick up Giani and Sydney and rescue them from the evil dungeon.

Oh Stefano did NOT just say that?!?!
"You're a man and she's a woman, you tell her that's the way it is and you bring your children and come live here."


Lucas is traveling and wants Sami to ship Ali to Hong Kong for 2 weeks.
That's the last we'll see of Ali for a while.
Wow, Brady just told Arianna not to let Nicole manipulate her.

Mel seems to think that if she tells Philip and Nathan enough times that she no longer has feelings for Nathan then it will be true.

We know how well that worked out for Natalia don't we? Aaww, Otalia. :)

Brady just laid it out for Nicole! "Arianna doesn't want to hurt you. She doesn't want to be around you."
And CC is taking down all of it in her little notebook.

Why are the daycare doctors playing without adult supervision? That poor woman might have a chance if Dr Manning comes to the rescue.

Nathan: "Does it hurt?" then she she says, "I can't breathe" he keeps asking her questions. Dude!

Heehee. I knew it! As soon as Brady and Arianna left CC runs back over to Nicole.

Rafe is surprised that Will is living at the mansion. Where did he think Will was living when he said he was moving out?!? He didn't care enough to ask then, but he's all indignant now.

Okay, why doesn't the actual nurse step in instead of letting the nursing student handle the life and death situation?
Oh no! The kiddie medicals just got a sad lesson from the sage nurse.

Rafe just egged the old Sami to come back out!

Ha! Nicole wasn't expecting that the interview was live!

CC Chavez just got a network pick-up and is moving to New York.
Maybe she'll come back in a couple of months. What? It's my new wish. Jess needs a steady job. In my opinion.

I love that you can hear pool balls clicking in the background of Philip and Brady's scene.

Okay, how much do I love that Rafe is refusing to be together with Sami for very real-life valid non soapy reasons. And he's explaining them to her.


So are they giving CC's spot to Nicole or to Arianna?
Wait! Wasn't that whole "was that the whole truth?" thing after CC got a call, after the interview had aired?

Mel and Nathan are sad and look like they need hugs.
That locker room is going to need thoroughly scrubbed with bleach I'm guessing!

So Stefano sounds perturbed at having to keep another of E.J.s secrets. They're okay when they're his own, but not his sons.

Oh no!
Arianna's going to be Nicole's P.A.

Stefano asked if E.J. and Sami had "bonded". Hehehehe. and Eeww!
