The “Marlena Possessed by the Devil” storyline! The most unintentionally funny storyline on TV since the “Bionic Bigfoot” episodes of “The Six Million Dollar Man”

When E.J. rapes Sammy but in a quirky Luke and Laura twist she falls in love with him. I am so sick of Hollywood making rape romantic. There is NOTHING romantic about rape and why anyone would marry there rapist is beyond me. I heard the show is going off the air and I for one am glad. It needs to go and the writer need to be shot for glorifying rape.

I agree completely, jenesais .Ejami is disgusting beyond words for the reasons I already posted here, and the Ejami fans are one of the most obnoxious, rabid and horrible fan bases on the face of the Earth.

A rapist and his victim has to be the most insulting and disgusting story Days has ever told. And the delusional, terrorist ejamos are like a swarm of locusts.

Hi, I've been very dissatisfied with the writing on Days for a very long time. In April, I started writing alternative storylines and posting it on the NBC boards in protest. In the beginning, I wasn't taking it seriously so there are some typos, but the stories well crafted. You can read it at NBC Boards in the Love in the Afternoon in the Fantasy section. It is called If I was the head writer

Wow imagine that!!! Stefano gets off and Caroline gets arrested on the spot. Didn't Stefano just get away with yet another heinous act and surprise, Caroline gets arrested on the spot. Enough. The TPTB at Days treat their loyal fans as idiots. Also I find it disgusting that Nicole and Sami are both pregnant by the same man. EW!!!!!!!!!

This soap-opera has run it's course a long time ago. I am so sick of the Bo and Hope thing, on again, off again. And John and Marlena and oh, don't forget Stefano whom never dies and always makes his presence known. And Sammy too, with her evil ways.
Please someone get rid of this show ! Maybe I could start a petition, LOL.

I have been watching Days Of Our Lives for as long as I can remember and I love the older characters along with the younger ones. They keep the show's history going. If you just had the younger characters, the show would be missing so much. Keeping that history going is what makes Days so great .

And another thing, as far as Marlena's hair goes, it's always goreous. She looks fabulous all the time. I love her and I hope she stays on Days forever and ever. It's not the same without her.

Well said Phoenix Slayer. And everything you stated is exemplified in the post by tmi. I am saddened that many young woman today glamorize and romanticize rape. It is and always will be an act of violence and I find it inexcusable that Days continues to rationalize EJ's rape of Sami. But then it wasn't long ago that Phillip was pushing women around violently and locking Mimi in a trunk. At that time I actually wrote to Ken Corday to express my feelings regarding the violence and lack of accountability for violence against women and sadly got no response. It appears the "male belief system" is alive and well at Days of our Lives.

I HATE ejami. I despise that couple to the very depths of my soul.

Why?

I'm not a Sami and Lucas fan, I'm not even a Sami fan. This goes beyond fictional characters on a TV show. Let me explain.


Because the entire Ejami story line with E.J. raping Sami (yea it was rape. I don't care what the rabid Ejami fans say) and then perusing her endlessly and forcing her to marry him perpetuates the old myth that if a man is persistent enough he WILL win over the woman he desires. No mater what she says, no matter what she does, no matter how emphaticaly she tells him she isn't interested in him, he will "win her over". Why does this upset me? Because what it is basically saying that "no" does not mean "no" when a woman says it. When a woman says "no" she really means "yes" or she is just confused or in denial or she doesn't realise that deep down she really does love the guy or whatever. It's this kind of thinking that puts women in danger. Women get annoyed, harrased, stalked, attacked, raped and sometimes even murdered because a man simply refuses to take no for an answer. I'm not saying that anyone is going to get hurt because Samy and E.J. are togeather, but Days is perpetuation that myth through Ejami, and any show that would do such a thing ios a show that I can in no way support. So yeah, screw Ejami and screw Days of our lives.

A lot of people are annoyed with the endless "Going Green" storyline. I can understand that, but this is nothing new to Days. "Days Of Our Lives" has ALWAYS had a history of getting obsessed with a particular trend and then beating the viewers over the head with it for weeks, months, years, etc. until new writers come on and change pick a new trend to shove down our throats.
A perfect example was a couple of years ago when "Days" suddenly became a "religious show". Days was fairly balanced and then "poof!" suddenly every character is a devout Christian (including Celeste?!) and half of every show took place in the church with all the characters praying or talking about "God this, Jesus that, etc., etc..." I remember it got so overly religious that the show did the whole "Mimi had an abortion so God punished her by making her sterile, having her fiancee dump her, and then get plagued by visions of the Virgin Mary!" Talk about one-sided!
I'm not against religion, but I'm just pointing out there is always SOME TREND the writers are gonna preach about.
Anyways, when the religios writers eventually left, the religious storlines toned down and the new writers brought in the whole "Going Green" trend.
I'm sure in a few months there will be new writers who will be shoving some new trend down our throats....

I love Sami and EJ, they are my
favorite characters.When they come on
I listen up and pay attention.
Theres an exciting tension, suspense
thing going on,sort of testing how far
is too far.almost threatening,
what will they do next.
However it does seem odd that Sami is
locking lips with the Guy who supposedly Raped her. he raped her and now they are hand in hand together,yeah right.
It seems strange every time I see Hope
with that small child. I mean she's too old for that. She looks more like the kids Grandmother, not mother.
Hope looks good and all, but even she
cannot pull off the young mommy look.
Of course thats proably not the writers
intentions, lots of older people today
are raising small kids.
I've been watching the show for over
20 years and love it!

I am very very very annoyed that Kirsten Storms the original Belle left! She was the best and everyone keeps going on about this Martha someone who is rubbish and cannot fill her shoes. Plus Jason Cook left too and so there is a new shawn and Belle! why are all the good people leaving to go to stupid G.H (General Hospital)? DOOL is a great soap...well it use to be until the standards dropped... please don't replace people if they're not gunna do the job. PLEASE COME BACK KIRSTEN AND JASON!! I LUV YOU!

I agree with you EJ's babymama. I mute the sound whenever EJ and Sami are on together. And I still can't believe that Lucas went to prison for shooting EJ, but EJ has NEVER paid for any of the horrendous things he's done. But the Aug 8 episode capped the week of no return for me. The Stephanie/Max/Melanie storyline is horrible and the actress playing Melanie has a voice like chalk on a blackboard. I had to mute the TV. For the past two years we have been promised over and over that the stories would go back to the core characters and yet, nothing. Instead we had to live through the Jett/ Stephanie/whatever his name was son of Mike Horton. Now the idiot John story and the previously mentioned Stephanie/Max/Melanie. Can any of the powers that be not read? The only time the ratings have improved in the past 2 years is when the storylines focused on John/Marlena, Steve/Kayla, and Bo/Hope. Right now the ratings are in the toilet and I can't see the show surviving beyond the 2009 contract. What a sad end for a 35 year fan.

there have been many moments when this show has jumped in my 12 years of watching this program. But most recently, the thing that I just cannot justify is the fact that the powers that be are still trying to justify this love angle in the story of EJ and Sami! How the heck you fall in love for the man who raped you? to this day sami should be terrified to be around him, or atleast be sick to her stomach with the idea of being near him! but what do i see when i tune in?? her and EJ on the ground playing with the baby's making googly eyes after each other! gimmie a break! how can the writers justify this?!? this is such a slap in the face to rape survivors! i think because of this stupid rape story between sami and EJ, thats why they had done another rape story with Stephanie and that other guy (his name escapes me) and made it far more believable, where as steph was going through all of the emotions and such. and based on what i read today (04Aug08) that the head writer has quit because Ed Scott formerly of Y&R is re-writing the ladies work and is telling the actors to re-write their parts, it just goes to show that the producers and such dont care for what the viewers want, they care for only how they want the stories to be told, no matter how foolish it is! i give this show until the end ot 2009 before its offically cancelled!
