Friday’s show

I found it interesting the children were doing Ring Around The Rosey and when they said “ashes to ashes we all fall down,” it cut back to the Morgue. That was a clever plotting and yes it was emotional. Including Stefano who moments before was basically disowning him and tell EJ how useless he was. He was reduced to tears as well.
I know no one ever dies in soap operas so unless this is an EJ clone he looked pretty dead on that table…

One of TPTB Corday or however you spell it said no more fake deaths.
Ejerk is not only merely dead, it is really most sincerely dead.

but I still cannot/do not believe this is a real death. It seems I read somewhere that JS taped scenes which may or may not have been seen; however, if this is real, they sure did a good job with it. I absolutely thought AS was wonderful the way she was so deeply into denial, all the way up to her last scene when she went into the morgue and E.J. was on that morgue table (gave me chills to the bone), then finally admitting she couldn’t hear his heart beat. I, too, wondered why she wouldn’t ask him “who did this to you.” Actually, I was surprised to hear Clyde ask Miguel “why did you do that” which makes me think all the more that he (Miguel) was in on it with E.J., or perhaps Stefano, in some way. I don’t know, I just found the absence of anyone (doctors, nurses, etc.) checking him at the hospital; the rushed and uncaring nature of the EMT’s; just all very eerie and unexplainable; but then there was the blood, which really threw me, so I’m still hoping it will somehow be faked and we will see late scenes taped by JS when Alison exits the show. Fingers crossed, anyway.

 Corday also said no more child death’s after Hope’s shild died in the accident. Then baby Grace died! So Corday’s word doesn’t hold much water.

I am not sure if he is dead or if it is a fake. Seemed real, but it has happened before- like Jack several times.

Enjoyed Fridays show , the writers did a great job, and Sami and EJ did great also, I LOVED the last scene, she made me hurt for her.. Great !!!! I hope whomever wrote and directed that episode continues it was good, we have some very good actors, all they need is good SL, dialogs and directing, this show could come back to life in a very big way.

to what Ali said about viewers being satisfied with their exits. I just don’t see that happening IF EJ is truly gone.
And the way EJ did a pause before he left the house, almost like ‘here I go’ – I can’t see that as nothing.
Plus how would Sami leave if EJ is dead? Leave town with the kids in just a few weeks? That would not be much of an ending.

something like witness protection to keep herself safe from Stefano and/or his goons, because I’m sure he will blame her for everything, including her and Kate’s betrayal, along with E.J.’s death. If she’s threatened or thinks her children might be kidnapped….again…. her exit may have her agreeing to leave Salem and take her kids with her. I could very well see it happening that way. That’s assuming, of course, that E.J. is really dead. If not, then maybe the assassination was faked and that was E.J.’s and Marco’s plan all along. Don’t know how they could switch the body out though. Anyway, if I’m right, that would be a pretty good exit for Sami and for her kids. Lucas and Sami have some scenes coming up soon. I think if E.J. is alive and that there are others in on it, but it’s being kept from Sami and the children for now.
