Few notes on Friday’s show…

1. The red streak…it’s dyed…permanently. The only way to remove it is to bleach it out. I know…I’ve done one. :o)

2. EJ and Sami… First I was for them, then against, then for, then against. Right now, I’m perfectly happy with them together. Although I don’t see the sparks that were originally there any more. But that’s okay.

3. Teresa? More awful than all the ones you named put together. But she’s one of those characters you love to hate. I guess that makes the show better with her than without. I just hope she ends up in jail and doesn’t escape punishment like all the other Salemites.

4. JJ? I can’t say I see any great acting yet. It’s easy to play a role like that because it’s something you can really get your teeth into. Let’s see if he can play any emotions other than surly. Actually, I can’t even buy it when he’s sucking up to Jen because he’s so transparent. Maybe that’s the way he’s playing it though. I’ll wait and see. After my original assessment of Brady (the first) when he first came on and was such an SOB, I learned my lesson not to judge to quickly.

5. Yes, I’m finding Kate much more palatable now. Heck, she even wore a decent dress on Friday and wasn’t loaded down with chains, etc. Amazing what love can do, huh?

6. No comment yet on Rafe and Jordon. But at least it’s something new. I was leaning just a tad toward a Rafe and Hope paring. Although I think it’s going to be extremely difficult to pair Hope with anybody at this point and make it work.

7. You’re so right about Anne being right about Jen. She’s kind of in the same boat as Teresa for me. Annoying as hell but she does add spice to the show. And I loved the way JJ told her off. Sort of a case of the lesser of two evils. To bad they couldn’t have thrown Teresa into that mix also rolling her eyes and saying, “Whatever!”

especially Sami’s red/pink streak. I don’t care if it’s dyed, sprayed, or a hairpiece….it’s an ugly as hell contrast against her blond hair. I wish Ali would have it removed; her hair is much prettier without that atrocity of a ‘sore thumb’. By the way, I thought Ali looked fantastic in that white dress yesterday, with very modest make-up and hairstyle. Good work wardrobe, hair and make-up (for a change).

I love EJ and Sami just the way they are, but she needs to tell E.J. about that heinous D.A.’s offer. If she keeps this from him and it gets out later, I see serious problems for them, and I don’t want to see that. I like them now, together, in love, and fighting for all their worth to protect one another and, of course, their children, but not giving a flying fig about anyone else. I want to see Sami get off and then the two of them wreak havoc on their enemies, starting with Stefano, followed by Kate. Loved when E.J. told her yesterday: “You did no wrong??? You gave my father a motive and Sami a gun.” Damn, go get her, E.J.

I despise Theresa; wish Hope would have had her tested. She probably still had the coke in her bloodstream. I also genuinely dislike JJ and Anne, but props to JJ for telling that damn witch off where she went off about Jennifer. She may have been right about Jennifer skipping out whenever it suits her needs, but I like that JJ is a “do as I say, not as I do” kinda’ kid where someone else speaking ill of his family is concerned.

I’m not interested in a Kate/Rafe/Jordan triangle in the least, but I’m almost afraid that’s what we’re in for. I do like the slow start with Jordan, who seems like a very no-nonsense PT, and with Rafe’s sometimes combative nature where his weakness is concerned, I can see them bonding at some point, but not right away, please. I do look forward to seeing Kate’s green with envy appearance the first time she sees the change from the frog to the princess. Then maybe the ‘real’ Katherine Roberts will show up for work. Until then I’m waiting for her to show up in Rafe’s room with a bib, a silver spoon and a jar of baby food.
