But it was EJ who forced Sami to be with him in order to save Lucas, who pretended Sydney was dead, Ej who tried to kill Lucase in the freezer truck, EJ who replaced Rafe, EJ who blackmailed her into giving him full custody, etc, etc. So I cannot understand how she could even LOOK aat him no less Sleep with him–no matter how much pain she was in especailly since she had Rafe to turnto for comfort..
At an Irish wake, there is food and plenty to drink. People take turns telling stories about the departed and toast to them.
It is a time for family and friends to come together to give each other strength and comfort. Many nationalities have similar customs. Most have an after funeral meal so those close to the family can eat and visit together.
I used to really enjoy her scenes but her selfish attitude has worn me out. She is a grown woman who blames everyone else for her terrible decisions. THERE REACHES A POINT WHEN SHE HAS TO BE PERSONALLY ACCOUNTABLE.
at all the comments about Sami. It’s like she’s a real person to be criticized for her personality and actions instead of just a character who is only a part that the writers are making up. :o) We should be blaming THEM for Sami’s shortcomings…not her.
We really get into this stuff, huh?
But if you opened the curtains at an Irish wake you wouldn’t see people running around with big grins on their face toasting each other with champagne as if Ireland had just won the World Cup. It is a remembrance but not a kick up your heels celebration like the people at the pub were having. I remember when my grandfather died (one of my earliest memories) and was laid out at home (icky to think of today but in the 1960’s it was still done). Everybody was telling stories and drinking but nobody looked as celebratory as those people did.
And we’re not even Irish. In fact, I think just the phrase "Irish Wake" invokes a party atmosphere.
I remember when my brother died and we were eating, drinking, joking and having a really good time with relatives we hadn’t seen in a while. When I noticed my SIL (his widow) looking very glum sitting by herself. I thought she probably wondered what kind of family we were. I asked her if we were getting out of line and she answered that, no, it was just she ws thinking of how much my brother would liked to have been part of it also.
I guess we are so emotionally invested in her character that we want what is best for her. It is like we want to do an intervention to make her grow up.
At least this is not a reality show, but I think that there are people like Sami in the real world!!!
happened before Roman took everyone away. That was more like it, with everyone taking turns talking about the deceased and having a drink in their honor. The part with the champagne and the kicking up your heels, not so much. Have you ever seen that movie with Hillary Swank, where her Irish husband dies? They start off with an Irish wake at the bar and they all take a shot and tell a story but don’t act like those folks did. Yes we do the same thing in this country with the after funeral meal which is usually more lively but not usually as ecstatically happy as those guys were. They were definitely celebrating something happier than a deceased loved one’s memory and it was pretty obvious I thought.
