You said Sami not learning part is the writers, not the actor. I’m just wondering what part of EJ’s horrible behavior do you attribute to James Scott and not the writers. Do you really think James is that evil?
I don’t for one minute think EJ doesn’t love his kids every bit as much as Sami. How he goes about showing it is another thing but haven’t we chastized Sami many, many times in the past for being such a bad mother? But we never questioned her love for her kids.
You mentioned Paul on Desperate Housewives. Oh yes, he’s every bit as dispicable as EJ but it looks like he’s finally gotten his just desserts…but…I would be VERY disappointed it they were to kill EJ off. I think they’ve got a very good guy in that part. If not, why would you all hate him so badly? Remember when everyone thoroughly detested Melanie? She’s not so bad now, maybe some time in the future they will turn EJ around too.
on the straight and narrow path??? Now that would be a kicker story line…(especially if Susan isn’t the nutso Elvis fan but has mellowed in the last 30ish years). It would be fun to have her quirky but really come back and put EJ in his place and EJ learns from his mother!
I think EJ loves his children in his own way but in reality he is in love with control. Controlling Sami, controlling Nicole. I didn’t mean to imply that James was evil and I’m sorry if you got that impression. I just meant that the character of Sami has been written as emotionally needy and I think the actress conveys that. The Sami never learning her lesson part is on the writers, the actor cannot change what is written for the character. EJ’s horrible behavior is totally on the writers. The actor does a good job with what is written for him but I think EJ has become a mean-spirited one note character and that even love of his children cannot soften him because he uses them as weapons against others. Now we will see what happens with this new storyline regarding Johnny and maybe I will change my mind. But as of now I don’t think the writers are giving EJ anything to make me feel any sympathy for him at all.
And I didn’t mention Desperate Housewives because I don’t watch it. I think you combined two posts.
any parent who uses kids as a pawn for revenge and is that cruel to the child can be said to “love” his children.
as well as the divorce dockets – people tend to use children as "pawns" – and EJ learned chess from Stefano.
the best, and perhaps only, way to redeem E.J. is to make Lucas Johnny’s biological father. They should find out through an illness or a required blood transfusion or something along those lines that E.J. could not possibly be Johnny’s bio-dad, and that Stefano knew all along that this was true, but decided to hide it from everyone. E.J. would be crushed beyond words, and realizing that all E.J. cares about is the bloodline of the DiMeras, he would not hide it from Sami or Rafe or anyone else for that matter, but decide to let Johnny go. Then, and only then, could I begin to see a light at the end of the tunnel for Elvis.
I think the best way to go with Sydney is that she is, in fact, E.J.’s and Sami’s, E.J. would become so severely damaged over Johnny being Lucas’ and not his that he would suffer some sort of complete breakdown and would knowingly have to do what is best for the one and only child he has remaining, thereby mending fences with Sami, perhaps even sharing custody, and moving on with Nicole. The main thing is I absolutely would abhor the idea of Nicole taking over the permanent mothering of Sydney. I would love to see Nicole reconnect with E.J., they remarry, and Nicole would automatically become Sydney’s stepmom. She does feel some pain for Sami in all of this, and it would be my wish that Nicole and E.J. revisit their once-upon-a-time happiness, but without the vendetta (oops, there’s that word again), and share their time with Sydney, allowing this little girl the benefit of two loving families, and then all would be right with my world. (Yeah, I know, WAKE UP, PATTI).
come true, but as you said Wake Up darlin’ the writer’s are never going to allow such a nice wrap up to one of their stories from hell. Another perk for me to your story line is that Brady will not be involved with Nicole and he can move on to someone nice (persuant to the writers reverting him to Mr. Nice guy once again).
