    This Clunky Thing That We Do.

    Wednesday, May 25 2011
    Daniel learns about what Lawrence did to Jennifer, Taylor decides to stay in town, and Stefano learns Rafe's back.


    Sami and Rafe wander into the pub. Gabi and Will greet them with a stony silence before Gabi launches into a tirade, yelling that she never wants to see Rafe again. He tries to apologize but since he doesn't know what RoboRafe did, she walks out on him with Will in tow. Later, Will confesses that he got them a hotel room for after their prom. He tries to backtrack, saying he can cancel it but Gabi's happy to hear and leans in for a kiss.



    In Carly’s office, she and Daniel discuss work and then she asks him to lunch. He has a date already and leaves, so she pops pills. By the nurse’s desk, Abby and Melanie poke fun at Jennifer and Daniel’s public display of affection. Jenn and Dan take off while the girls discuss how cute their parents are. Carly spots them talking and takes Abby aside. Lexi tells Mel she doesn't have to worry about Troy. He's been transferred. In Carly's office, Carly confronts Abby about telling Mel her secret but Abby wasn't planning on it. They were discussing how they think their parents are good together. She leaves and Lexi arrives to ask Carly to work overtime for the doctor who is covering for Daniel. Carly doesn't want to but agrees to it. She breaks her pencil after listening to Lexi gush about how Daniel deserves to have a little fun. Lexi takes off and Carly pops more pills. When she gets up to leave, she passes out.



    Dario takes a threatening call from his bookie at Cheatin’ Heart and wonders what to do. Adrienne hands him the morning bank deposit and Dario grins at her. Later, Daniel and Jenn show up to practice for a pool tournament the hospital is hosting. Daniel teaches her how to shoot and Adrienne spots them kissing. Shocked, she drops a basket of fries. Jennifer apologizes, knowing it must be difficult for Adrienne to see her with somebody other than Jack. She goes off to greet a friend and learns the woman with her was date-raped. Jenn comforts her and encourages her to seek help. Daniel watches and is shocked to learn that Lawrence Alamain raped her. She asks Daniel not to treat her any differently because she has worked hard to get over the rape. "I like this clunky thing that we do," she says. Daniel's glad she told him. She talks about her days in boarding school with Carly and how she used to be Katrina Von Leuschner. Abby strolls by and is surprised to hear this.



    Stefano finds Nicole in the great room drinking. She tells him her sister’s leaving town and it’s breakin' her heart.



    At the park, Taylor tells EJ she doesn’t want to be without him. That’s why she isn’t going to rat him out. He kisses her and she asks for his patience. She needs to keep her promise to her mother to look after Nicole.



    Sami and Rafe arrive home to the loft. Sami finds Rafe's wedding band and divorce papers. She puts the ring on Rafe's finger and they discuss payback. She calls the mansion and tells Stefano to give EJ the message that she's back and Rafe will pick the kids up tomorrow. Stefano's face registers shock and he mouths the word 'Rafe'. Why the hell would she take him back? She replies, "Because he's my husband," and smirks at Rafe while hanging up.



    Dario's on his way to the bank with the cash from Cheatin' Heart when his bookie stops him, demanding money. Melanie arrives on the pier and watches as Dario asks for just a few more hours before the goon starts smashing his kneecaps. Melanie grabs a pipe and hits the goon over the head, knocking him out.



    EJ rushes home after Stefano gives him the heads up on Rafe. EJ calls Rafe, who Sami has just fitted with a wire, and thinking he's RoboRafe, EJ starts in on him, telling him to get over there. Rafe shows up at EJ's door, acting as RoboRafe. "Hey Stef, how are they hangin'?" EJ tells him to start explaining.



    Nicole comes across Taylor in the park and learns she's not leaving town. They start hurling insults.



    Salem Spoilers For The Next Days Of Our Lives:

    Brady comes across Melanie and Dario. "What's going on here?"

    Nicole screams at Taylor, "You destroyed my life!"

    Rafe tells EJ, "This conversation is over." EJ begs to differ. "No it's not."

    Sorry littlebear, I’ve taken over your first post....

    Anyway, when is old Taylor coming back? I STILL can’t get into this new one.....I just don’t like her.

    So Will & Gabi are serious. I didn’t realise they want to take the next step to their relationship. What’s the bet they won’t go through with it.

    I forgot Adrienne & Jack were siblings. It should be interesting now the Jack is coming back.

    So Sami & Rafe...what do they have planned for the evil DiMeras?

    Apologies that I didn't get a chance to post regarding Tuesday's show. It's almost 1am, and it's been such a long day of packing, etc. We're heading to my MIL's house (she passed away back in January), and we haven't been back to visit family & friends since that time. I have 8 weeks to go (baby #3 on the way), so this is really my last opportunity to travel before I need to stay put. And because no one is living in my MIL's house, and we're trying to get it ready to sell, there's no TV or Internet service hooked up at the moment :-( We'll be extremely busy, so I know the only time I'll probably even "think" about DAYS will be at night, after my kids go to sleep . . . that is . . . if I don't end up passing out right along with them, which typically happens when we travel.

    little bear - if we get back into town early enough on sunday night, i'll go ahead & try to post 8 comments! I can't promise they'll be DAYS related, since I'll be nearly a week behind in watching, but I'll try to make them relevant for you

    Posted by 25YRSOFDAYS at Tuesday, May 24 2011 10:12 PM

    Just a few brief comments on Tuesday's show . . .

    I have to admit that I'm just not feeling "DAYS" at all these days :-( I've been multi-tasking through every episode, and I just dislike so much what's happening to the characters that I barely care to watch any more. I think the main reason for my dramatic shift is because of EJ and how the writers have absolutely destroyed this amazing character and have given this amazing actor absolutely nothing to work with since Taylor came into the picture.

    But, to be honest, nothing is drawing me in at the moment. I WAS really enjoying EJOLE (prior to Taylor messing things up), and I was enjoying Sami trying to figure out what was wrong with Rafe, and now that old Rafe is back . . . well, I liked the initial reunion, but already I'm feeling like they're back to being same old, boring old SAFE :-(

    I don't enjoy BOPE at all. I WAS enjoying Chloe & Quinn until they showed him buying the drug business from EJ. I don't want to see Chloe with a bad guy :-(

    I really miss Philip, and I miss seeing more of Brady. Since the sarcophagus s/l ended, he's not really had a s/l of his own, which is a complete waste IMO.

    I don't care for any of the younger crowd or their storylines :-( I find them all soooo boring. Although I like Chad's character (and the actor plays him well), I just find things moving too slowly, and I don't enjoy him with Abby at all :-(

    Victor & Maggie are being dragged on for too long, and I'm bored with them. I'm totally bored with Vivian. I always like seeing STATE together, but nothing's really sizzling with them at the moment, so they're also boring me to death.

    Hmmmm, that leaves only Carly, Daniel, and Jenn, and honestly, this is the only s/l I'm paying attention to. I thought Carly told off Bo very nicely on Tuesday's show. I was proud of her! I enjoy Daniel & Jenn together. I want to see more of Carly & her s/l, as well as Dannifer. That's about it.

    How sad is THAT when I can only enjoy one s/l (with 3 ppl involved). Maybe the next few days away will be good for me ;-)

    Posted by 25YRSOFDAYS at Tuesday, May 24 2011 10:21 PM

    omg - that was sooooo NOT brief - LOL!!!!

    but, it only took 10 minutes to write (as opposed to some of my longer ones that take an hour or more), so i guess, in my mind, it was brief ;-)

    Anyway, I just wanted to say one last thing about my previous comment that I'll stop watching DAYS if JS leaves the show. Honestly, I think he's just such a phenomenal actor, and he's the one character who's kept me glued to the screen for the past 5 yrs or so . . . when I really wanted to give up on this show. I just adore him with Sami AND with Nicole (whether they're together or not), and there are no other characters on the show whom I feel so attached to besides these three. So, if he goes, I just can't see myself continuing to watch. Although, I really like Dannifer and Carly, they wouldn't be reason enough for me to dedicate 1 hour every day (+ posting time on the boards So . . . I really hope JS doesn't leave cuz I don't want to give up on DAYS. But if they allow him to go, I think I'd quickly lose interest in Sami and Nicole . . . I never liked Sami before she was paired with EJ, and I love his chemistry with Nicole as well, so without JS, I don't see anything drawing me in every day :-(

    Okay, so it's 1:20am now, and I really need to sleep. Wednesday's gonna be a long day of travel and visits, so I need my rest I'll miss catching up with everyone on a nightly basis but look forward to all the wonderful comments upon my return!

    *spoiler* Casey Deidrick posted a pick on his facebook with him being injured. He also tweeted this:
    - Getting ready to shoot my last scenes of the day with #jamesscott can't wait for you all to see, he's doing a phenomenal job!
    and this: Gonna be an interesting and epic day in Salem tomorrow...these episodes are breaking my heart:(

    Looks like things are heating up.

    I like that they're playing with history with the Carly storyline. I'm even surprised that the writers know that she's Katerina von Leuschner. Can't wait to see more of this.

    Posted by lovingDOOL at Wednesday, May 25 2011 12:30 AM

    As I said, I don't like the character of Taylor whatsoever but I do still think that Tamara Braun is a huge improvement. I think that they need to look at her past work and then change the character so that she can show how amazing she is. She can at least stand up against James Scott and Arianne Zucker.

    Posted by lovingDOOL at Wednesday, May 25 2011 12:38 AM

    Well this show has been all about EJ/Rafe/Sami/Nicole/Taylor so if EJ leaves that could be a big problem. He's the leading man.

    I know that I'll be upset but I will continue to watch as long as my other favorites are on the show. With the news that Jack's coming back I will certainly continue to watch. I think that Days is doing a better job then it did in the beginning of this year and I hope that it only gets better from this point. We have some great potential storylines and I can't wait to see what the new writers will do. I hope they give other actors the oportunity to shine. Lack of airtime for vets is currently the biggest problem I have with the show.

    I keeping reading about EJ leaving the show and wondering where that could have come from. He is a great actor and I do wish they would find a more suitable S/L for him. I just don't find him charming with Taylor nor do I like the new Taylor, she just isn't niave enough like the other one was. That S/L in my opinion was not thought through either. I do like to watch Nicole and EJ together especially when they are sparring. I truly like EJ and Nicole better together than Sami and EJ. Nicole needs someone that can hold their own with her. Although in the beginning when she was with Eric and I kind of wish they would bring Eric back, which I have to wonder cause his name has been mentioned quite a few times lately.

    I am enjoying the Sami/Rafe S/L and I hope they stick to their guns and take Stefano and EJ down a notch or two but without them the show could get kind of boring cause we need just the little bit of badness going on.

    I read a spoiler about Will and Gabi and that they get closer but I also read one that he is going to be gay so who knows. However a very boring couple and they need to do something to liven those two up.

    Carly, she just needs to get over herself and stop being a victim. I liked her when she came back but the I feel so sorry for myself thing is just too much and gone on for too long now. Hopefully they will pair her up with someone free for her to be with. Maybe Vivian's little cronie. LOL.

    I liked Quinn as well but I agree the whole drug thing is not getting it for me. I think that could have been left out and still had a great S/L for him. Plus turning Chole into a prostitute. Good grief writers what are you thinking. Bring Phillip back if that is all you can come up with and let the two of them have a great S/L with Parker.

    I did read a lot of new casting is going to be happening but I hope they keep our favs on Days. There are some that at times they give them pretty boring S/L's but still don't want to see them go and would like to keep as many originals as possible.

    Have a fantabulous day all Day's of Our Lives fans. Love your posts.

    bearigan – Thanks for your great post. I totally agree with everything.

    In regards to James Scott leaving: It’s not official but he mentioned in an interview that he was thinking about moving to Europe and stop acting. So that’s the reason why we’re speculating.
