I knew I would be sorry I said anything nice about EJ! Although..his threats were pretty idle considering he himself is no longer a DiMera. Just sayin…
dvalParticipantI love the way you think Patti. Ever considered a writing career for DOOL? LOL.
dvalParticipantAt first I could take her or leave her but lately I really enjoyed her. But then they took away her career, cut out her interactions with Daniel and Maggie, put her as arm candy to Chad and now, well…hopefully she will end up somewhere she will be better utilized.
dvalParticipantthe hand kissing thing to be Lexie being silly. I didn’t really see anything sexual about it considering the circumstances. How affectionate would you be with somebody you love who is dying especially if they were about the only person you know who loved you no matter what you did? And, although I really hate to say it, it did make me look at EJ in a more humane way. He almost seemed like a real person, with real people feelings and emotions and everything, LOL.
dvalParticipantespecially since I have read spoilers that say…….if you don’t want to know…..
Lexie is scheduled to be on the show for a few episodes after she has died,. perhaps as a ghost?
dvalParticipanthappened 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.
dvalParticipantBut 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.
dvalParticipantEven when you drink at an Irish wake it isn’t in celebration, looking happy and cheerful like those folks did. Dumb. And why did those three, Doug, Julie and Kayla, get left behind but Lucas got to go with Sami when he really had no one there? Because he is Will’s father? Wouldn’t you think Doug would have been allowed to go since he is Hope’s father? Just a dumb thing all around.
dvalParticipantSami went flying over to Marlena and Marlena just kind of blew her off for Will. And if Marlena was a really good "shrink" to her grandson she might suggest to him that he is becoming exactly all the things he says he doesn’t like in his mother. And if she was honest with herself she might see that she is giving Will everything she never gave Sami. The more I see Will, the more I want to slap him up side the head, LOL, just like I want to do to the writers who won’t allow Sami to mature. Although she is spot-on with Austin regarding Carrie and Rafe. And again I want to say that I see NO CHEMISTRY at all between Carrie and Rafe. When she told him her heart was with him it was so LAME in my opnion. No feeling at all, ,just saying a line it seemed. At this point in time they can take Rafe along with Carrie and Austin, and maybe throw Marlena into the mix, too when the new writers take over.
dvalParticipantI think it’s usually beer or whiskey at an Irish wake, LOL, not champagne.
dvalParticipantdoesn’t disappoint, LOL. But I kind of agreed with her, and you bluebonnet, what if she had told the kids? And would Hope and Bo have been so quick to agree to this if Ciera and Caroline were not away? They sort of made it easy for them by having Ciera on a "church" trip with Caroline. And the only one of Marlena’s kids that would be devastated would, once again, be Sami (since I don’t believe anyone ever mentioned telling Eric what had happened or did I miss it?)
Oh…and how about them all being supposed to act as if they were still grieving yet everyone was at the Brady pub sipping the bubbly! Cuz Stefano would NEVER be watching the pub now would he?
dvalParticipantat least she wasn’t screaming and yelling incoherently and pounding him with her fists like she usually does. It was more like shock, I thought. it could have been said without blaming Roman though. You know, "How could this have happened" as opposed to how could you have let this happen Daddy. But that’s our little Sami, LOL
dvalParticipantit cracks me up every time they are at the DiMansion and one of the residents shouts for someone to answer the door then they have to do it themselves!
dvalParticipantOn a daily basis one child can be more of your "favorite" than the other. But overall you need to bear in mind that they are individuals just like we are and that means loving them no matter what and not advising one to go ahead and ruin the other’s marriage. Would you do that even if that one was your favorite that day?
dvalParticipantI don’t know. I think Carrie is probably being the least honest of all these supposedly honest people on the show. Well, disingenuous I guess is the word. As far as I can see she deliberately set out to seduce Rafe, with all that ice cube shtick and what not. And as far as being nicer to Carrie because she is a better person, well as a shrink it is Marlena’a job not to judge, as she keeps telling Will but just to be there. Why can’t she do the same for Sami especially since her sister is trying to jump her husband?
As far as one child being more difficult than the other, well I have four sons and I know how different they can be. you have to just love them for who THEY are, not compare one to the others. Usuallly the more "difficult" ones end up the best, if you know how to work with them. That is what Marlena would tell someone else and she oughta be practicing what she preaches.
