    The Wrong Thing, As Usual.

    Tuesday, January 04 2011
    Bo calls Carly for help, EJ tells Stefano about his engagement, and Sami vows to get her kids back.


    At the fishing cabin, Bo tells Hope they're leaving. He wants to turn themselves in and Hope agrees that trying to work out a deal is the best solution. Hope will serve time in a different prison, away from the warden. Bo suggests they call Roman but needs to use the gas station payphone to call a line that isn't tapped. Bo leaves her his gun, in case something happens. He also hands her a barrette that Ciara gave him. Once he leaves, Hope dreams about telling Ciara that she and Bo will come home to her. Ciara asks if her parents are back together. Hope wakes, saying they're not together.



    Rafe calls Carly and asks her to call him if she hears from Bo. Outside her apartment, Sami gets updates about her kids from Mary. Once inside, Sami tells Rafe that Johnny isn't going back to school yet. Rafe tells Sami he needs to visit the warden. He makes Sami promise she won't get caught doing anything stupid to EJ.


    At the warden's office, Jennifer overhears Jane on the phone saying that Bo should be considered armed and dangerous. Jennifer asks if there's any word on Bo and Hope. Jane is sure the police will catch them. Rafe arrives and asks Jane why she's avoiding him. Jane dismisses Jennifer. Rafe needs information but Jane tells him that his new job title doesn't give him the permission to interfere with the state's investigation. Rafe insinuates that Bo broke Hope out of prison because it was too dangerous there. He asks if something's going on. Jane demands that Rafe leave.


    At the DiMera mansion, EJ puts a nice bracelet on Nicole's wrist and says it's an engagement gift. He tells her that he'll now be able to track her whereabouts. Nicole tries to take it off but EJ warns her that an alarm would go off and she won't get to be with Sydney. Nicole reminds him that their marriage is in name only. EJ thinks they'll have to do some things like kiss at their wedding. EJ grabs Nicole and kisses her passionately then pushes her away. Nicole thinks EJ will get rid of her once he wins his game with Sami. EJ says he gave Nicole his word about their deal. Stefano arrives and asks what EJ promised her. EJ tells Nicole to go. When she leaves, EJ explains that he and Nicole are getting married. Stefano asks EJ if he's insane. EJ explains that he's using Nicole to drive Sami insane. Stefano disagrees with his plan and tells EJ to take his children and leave Salem. EJ says he's not leaving his home. Stefano says if he marries Nicole, the children are in danger. Later, EJ tells Johnny that he's marrying Nicole. Johnny objects.



    At the hospital, Dr. Ben asks Carly if she's in trouble at the hospital. Carly explains that she has no idea where Bo is. Dr. Ben apologizes for the question and Carly asks him how the transplants are going. Dr. Ben says that he has to find donors before his patients die. A nurse tells Carly that she has a call. On the other line, Bo tells Carly he needs her to tell Roman to call him. Carly tells Bo she loves him. Bo thanks Carly for being on his side. Once off the phone, Bo curses, realizing the line was tapped.



    On the phone at the pub, Brady demands to get what he needs. Once off the phone, Sami joins him and asks what's wrong. Brady says it's Nicole and explains that their break-up was fake and EJ caught them. Sami asks what he's going to do to get Nicole back. Brady replies that he's not going to do anything. Sami reminds him that EJ is using Nicole to punish her. Brady says it's her problem and encourages her to find a way to make EJ pay. After he leaves, Sami calls Mary and asks if EJ is going out today.


    From the hospital, Ben calls Jane to remind her about his two patients. Jane says she can't make a move now because of the security at the prison. She tells him to find another way to save his patients and hangs up.


    On the phone at the pier, Rafe wonders if there's a connection between what Jane is hiding and why Bo broke Hope out of prison.


    In front of the pub, Jennifer wonders if she should call Rafe and tell him she's working for the warden. She decides to wait until she finds something.

    At the church, Nicole asks herself what she's doing. Rafe arrives and says she's doing the wrong thing as usual. Nicole reminds Rafe that Sami blew her chance to let Nicole be a part of Sydney's life. Rafe insists that EJ will break his promise to her if Sami is out of the picture. Nicole tells Rafe he better keep Sami in line or they'll both lose.

    Bo returns to the cabin and tells Hope they have to get out of there because the phone line was tapped. They pack up and leave.

    Jennifer arrives at the hospital and asks Carly if she can talk about Jack. Carly says she has to get going and rushes out. Dr. Ben approaches Jennifer and asks her if she'd like to join him for coffee. Jennifer agrees and they leave together.


    One of Jane's workers calls her from the payphone Bo used. He tells her they had the line tapped and they'll find Hope and Bo very soon.



    At the pier, Stefano overhears Sami on the phone telling Brady that he and Nicole should meet at her place, behind EJ's back.

    This is Rolla Bahsous subbing...hope you enjoy my update. Was that kiss between EJ and Nicole steamy or what?

    Posted by little bear at Tuesday, January 04 2011 12:30 AM

    Hey everyone

    First off having caught up on the updates and comments for the last week or so i thought i would begin by clarifying my reasons for not liking Nicole being around Sydney right now, i have two main problems with the story

    1. Nicole doesn't know her place. She is not there as Sydney's step-mother/aunt/godmother she is there to be Sydney's new mommy. I completely understand that even though she stole Syd she does genuinely love the little girl and i don't expect the writers to change history and have Nicole never mention Sydney again but Nicole has no idea's of boundaries. I keep comparing it in my head to the JT/Isaac/Bo/Hope/Abe/Lexie story. Bo and Hope loved JT as their own son and were very upset to hand him over to his biological father and stepmother, but they understood this was where the child belonged, they still visited him, mentioned him, and at least until Zach's death used to have a stocking of presents to send to him and JT had a decoration on the Horton tree, Bo and Hope loved him but respected that they were not his mom and dad and took a step back. Same with Abe and Lexie, i know it took Lexie a little longer to get there, but they too stepped back from Zach when he was revealed to be Bo and Hope's son. they understood he needed to bond with his parents and family, but that didn't mean they stopped loving him, they still saw him, brought him presents on his birthday, babysat him, and grieved him, but they too understood that they were not his mom and dad and took a step back. So far i haven't seen Nicole do that, she still believes she can be the child's mother and until i see her get some boundaries, not give up her love but step back appropriately, then i don't want to see and Nicole and Sydney stories

    2. To me Nicole being obsessed with Sydney is boring. I've already been watching it for two years. Nicole obsessed over the unborn Syd, stole her practically right out of her mother's arms, obsessed for almost a year about keeping her secret, then when the truth came out kidnapped the baby, blackmailed her way out of jail and then a couple of months later decided she had to have Sydney back. I'm so sick of this story. For me i would have loved to see Brady and Nicole go all out to get a child, maybe IVF, maybe a black market baby, maybe EJ and Nicole's baby is still alive and they go searching for it, or a miracle baby, anything other than see Nicole stuck in this sick obsession with another woman's baby.

    Anyway on to other topics -

    1. In the whole Chloe/Philip/Melanie/Daniel/Carly/Maggie/Stephanie/Nathan/Victor/Parker drama the only person i'm finding i feel sorry for is poor little Parker. At least the tyke has been spared the trauma of being ripped away from the only father he ever knew at age 3 or 4 or 5 to have his biological father shoved on him, and i'm thrilled the secret has come out. And as others have accurately pointed out no one other than the baby is blameless in the whole mess so i'm interested to see how everyone deals with it once they calm down. I don't blame Melanie and Daniel for freaking out since it was a shock, but since they have done similar things hopefully they don't hold a grudge.

    2. The Chad story - is this going somewhere? I was never interested in this from the second i found out Chad was going to be Stefano's since the guy has already had about 6 of his 9 kids spring into his life once they were already grown, but this story has done nothing. Does anyone else even know yet that Chad is a Dimera? Is Stefano going to tell anyone? I would still love for Mia and Chad's baby to be alive and for him and Stefano to search for it together, since they both are so family-oriented, but i need something to happen in this story because right now it's less that a snooze to me because its never even on.

    3. EJ and Sami are the most annoying people ever! Sami is my favourite character of the ones in this mess (not because of this mess just because i've always loved her character) and i completely think its reasonable that she keeps freaking out on Nicole, it doesn't matter if Sami's predicament is her own fault i'd be jealous of Nicole if i was Sami too. Nicole stole baby Sydney and Sami missed out on her daughter's first year and half, then got her back, and now Nicole gets to play mommy again, i can see Sami hating Nicole (not hitting her though although it is classic Sami). EJ is too predictable with his rage and lashing out, and he already payed Sami back for not telling him about Grace by paying a judge to give him custody of Johnny and serving her the papers at Grace's funeral, so the Sydnapping wasn't payback for Grace it was just pure rage. One day EJ and Sami are going to have to let go of the payback schemes because Johnny and Sydney aren't going to be kids forever. I don't care if Nicole and Rafe or anyone else is in the picture as a step-parent (who is loving and caring but also respectful of their position) but enough of the bickering over the kids its too boring (and sad) they need to learn to come together as parents (not necessarily as a couple because i couldn't care less it EJ and Sami are together or not) and give their kids some peace.

    4. I'm ready for Bo and Hope to come home to Ciara. Hasn't the poor child suffered enough! Give her her mommy and daddy back. I don't care what stupid reason they come up with to keep Hope out of jail, i just want to see the prison story drawn to a prompt close.

    Anyways enough from me for today so everyone have a wonderfully fantastic and exciting day!

    Well said little bear.

    Posted by KABO at Tuesday, January 04 2011 08:57 AM

    I'm with you for the most part Little Bear. I'd add that I am also done with the Johnny cancer storyline and have been from its inception. This plot surrounding such a cute little guy is just way too dark for entertainment. It is emotionally manipulative and too sick for words!

    Posted by The Engineer Mom at Tuesday, January 04 2011 09:52 AM

    little bear, thank you so much for actually putting the Nicole/Sydney inappropriateness into perspective with the right words and phrasing...you and KABO are SPOT ON today!

    Posted by allmylovingdays at Tuesday, January 04 2011 11:08 AM

    I cant' watch them destroy Johnny. But it's strange how the ratings seem to reflect that people are tuning in to this mess.

    Posted by Mythical at Tuesday, January 04 2011 11:25 AM

    Just a question does any1 remember who was Greta's father? Was it John or Stefano or some1 else?

    Posted by sandee1977 at Tuesday, January 04 2011 11:30 AM

    It will be such a smack in EJ face if Nicole actually becomes pregnant with Brady's baby! It will be a smack in her face too. Now she is pregnant with Brady but stuck in a marriage with EJ. It will suit her fine. I bet you she'll be seeking Sami's help then but it'll be too late for Nicole because I hope he hooks up with Stephanie by then, and looking at how Stephanie rolls she will not give him up easy.

    Posted by little bear at Tuesday, January 04 2011 12:14 PM

    Mythical - Greta's father wasn't Stefano or John but i can't remember who he was, i think (although this was in the 4 years skipped here in Australia so we could kind of catch back up with you guys so i'm not positive) that Greta and Eric Brady left to go and find and meet this guy after Greta finally found out who he was

    Thanks Choonx, KABO and The Engineer Mom!

    KABO and allmylovingdays I agree with you guys, watching them make Johnny sick is no fun for me! I love the kids being involved in stories but i don't want to see something like this, especially when poor little Johnny has such a terrible family support unit right now. If his parents were at least both by his side and putting him first then it would be a bit better, not a story i would enjoy but at least bearable, but to have him going through something like this and not be able to lean on both his mom and dad is awful
