    Money For Silence.

    Monday, January 09 2012
    EJ turns the tables on Will's blackmail attempt, Hope and Bo have a heart-to-heart, and Jack steps aside.


    Will barges into the DiMera mansion on a mission. He knows EJ had sex with his mother when Johnny was missing. EJ listens but a smirk playing on his lips leaves him. Will attempts to blackmail EJ. "Money for silence." EJ's impressed that Will grew a spine in the last few years. Will details what EJ has to lose and EJ's smirk returns. Will gets comfortable with a drink and gloats while EJ lights a cigar and declares he knows something about Will that he wouldn't want to be made public. He sees part of himself in Will. They both had difficult upbringings. EJ admits he knows Lucas didn't shoot him. "It was you. You tried to kill me." Will says nothing. EJ didn't know why Lucas lied until he had children himself. Will says if it was him, not that he's saying it is, why wouldn't EJ have sent him to prison? EJ likes to choose his moments and suggests Will think twice about messing with a DiMera. Will thinks EJ has made his point but EJ says he has just begun to make it. Will's only regret is that he didn't get the job done right the first time. He makes a gun with his hands and threatens that next time he'll aim a little higher. EJ threatens to call the police but Will doesn't care. EJ alludes to Will being gay and threatens to tell the world. Will thinks he's a sick bastard. EJ doesn't think prison will be a nice place, "Especially for a person with your... disposition." Will promises to keep his secret. Still, EJ wants to teach him a lesson. If Will wants to stay a free man, he'll do everything EJ asks him to do. EJ spits out, "Welcome to your worst nightmare William. I own you."



    Jack walks through the square and finds Jenn with Daniel. He eavesdrops behind a newspaper nearby as Jennifer professes her feelings for Daniel and asks him to let her help him. He plays down his condition. Jack gives himself away by sneezing. He admits he saw them holding hands and got curious. He's sorry for what Daniel is going through. Daniel downplays his diagnosis. Jack went through something far worse! Jack asks him not to minimize. He stammers when he tells Daniel that maybe once he connects the dots, he'll find something he has never imagined. He suggests Daniel let Jennifer help him. Jenn's amazed at his generosity. Jack knows Jenn still loves Daniel, and asks that he get over his stubbornness and let her help him. Jenn agrees but this is between her and Daniel. Jack thinks they need to put an end to their situation. Jack has decided to back off with regards to Jenn. She's moved. Jack says she has the love of two amazing men. She replies, "Yeah, and I lost them both." Each man would prefer if Jennifer takes her time to figure out what she truly wants. Both men call each other a stand-up guy. Jenn apologizes for being confused about the both of them. Where they go from here? The guys agree to let life unfold as it should.



    In bed, Bo worries to Hope that their therapy might tear them apart. Hope says all they have is faith and doesn't believe there's another choice but to stick to therapy. She hesitates before admitting she's afraid to bring up something. Bo's lack of trust for Hope. It happened with Zack's death, the kidnapping, and when Carly returned. Bo promises not to lie to her again. She wants to believe it but there's always a seed of doubt. Where does that leave them? Bo can't change the past but he can go forth with honesty. Hope knows he means it but she has heard it before. Bo blames his scared little boy inside him for his trust issues. He'll do his best to move on from that and have faith in them. Hope says she has to work on herself too. They are sure they can work on anything together.



    Hope and Bo head into the pub for date night. It's locked for the night but Bo has a key. He puts on some music and they dance and reaffirm their love for each other. They kiss and Bo calls Hope his destiny.

    Thoughts? Shock? I liked the EJ/Will drama. Well played and I've always thought that Will was the one who shot EJ, not Lucas. I wonder what EJ will make Will do.

    Good morning/afternoon/evening my lovely Days friends!

    Back from my vacation at the beach and WAY behind on the show, so if i miss anything or am not sure about something, or even get something wrong i'm sure someone will fill me in as i am WAY too lazy to go back and read all the episodes i missed!!

    1. I cannot believe how much more i am enjoying Will these days!! For the last couple of years i have found him incredibly dull and boring, frustratingly so as i could not understand how a child of Sami's could not have managed to inherit at least a little teeny tiny piece of her spunk!! Anyway i am now more than pleased to be able to say that i am actually liking this character!! I do wish he would just confront Sami with what he knows, but i am so enjoying seeing him actually do something! Loved that he tried to blackmail EJ and actually thought he could get away with it, how cute!! It was also great to get confirmation that it was indeed Will and not Lucas who shot EJ previously, i guess like mother like son!! I hope that the writers continue to take Will in an interesting direction, and perhaps make him a little guy version of what teenage Sami used to be, i think it would be awesome to see Will and Allie (once they age her to teen) as a little trouble-causing pair!

    2. Although i also find it irritating i love how James Scott plays smug and cocky EJ!! So sure that he is always going to turn out on top!! I prefer EJ when he is struggling more with his good and evil sides i just adore JS's portrayal of EJ when he thinks he holds all the cards! If EJ knew all along that it was Will and not Lucas that shot him i wonder why at times EJ was so willing and prepared to build a bond and good relationship with Will, maybe because his love for Sami was so strong that it overrode his anger at what Will did and just loved the boy because he was the son of the woman he loved! While i am interested to see where this leads and what EJ tried to blackmail Will into doing, i am kind of looking forward to EJ and Sami settling into joint custody of their kids and then either coming together or having some complete time apart instead of being stuck together in this kind of twisted "relationship" that never quite lets them out of each other's grip!

    3. One thing i am definitely not liking is this Jennifer/Daniel/Jack scenario! I find it quite tiresome and boring and i cannot fathom at all why this silly sort of love triangle is an interesting storlyine! My apologies to those who are enjoying it, but i don't even like these kind of "oh no who do i choose i love them both" stories with the teenage crowd but i like them even less with adults! I think Jennifer should be way past this kind of behaviour, if she truly loves them both then she should walk away from both because both Daniel and Jack deserve better than committing to someone who is also in love with another man! I would like to see Jennifer finally make a decision and then move all three of these characters on to other things!

    4. As much as i am frustrated by Jennifer and her indecisiveness i am LOVING Bo and Hope and that they want to really address and work on their issues! This is such a "realistic" story that i am kind of shocked Days is doing it!! To see a couple admitting that they have not worked through their issues and because of that they are continuing to have problems is awesome! I also love that both Bo and Hope are acknowledging that they have problems and not just blaming the other one or circumstances, and i love that they are admitting that they have never dealt with anything since Zack's death, they both just kind of were pleased that they had Ciara and brushed everything else aside. Although i don't think it's very likely i would love for the writers to find a way to bring Zack back! I am hoping that a better and stronger than ever Bo and Hope are in the near future, and i look forward to seeing it!!

    Lots of love and wishes for a wonderful day to all my favourite girlies!!

    Little bear I have to agree, I wonder too why EJ, knowing that Will was the actual shooter still tried to mend fences have Will be more tolerant toward Sami and never ever used it even to get what he wanted from Sami. Even now keeping him out of jail is helping Will in the long run if EJ's suspisions are true (and we know they are). Will will have a lot to be thankful for and if you have read the spoilers there is a gift given soon....which makes me honestly think that Will and EJ can come to a better understanding of each other through this scheme.

    I like EJ too when he is more complex and grey. NOT SAYING that I won't be watching Monday's show because it sounds like both Chandler and James are going to be superb.

    Little Bear, Happy to see that you had an excellent vacation and that you are back posting. i have missed your comments. You put so much thought into them.

    Looking forward to this episode to see ej and will's interaction. Will is so much like his mother, i don't think he even realizes it. They are like two peas in a pod. Will's acting has improved drastically these past few months, i hope he gets a nomination for younger male actor or whateve that category is actually called. I don't always watch the emmy's believe it or not.

    Posted by little bear at Saturday, January 07 2012 04:46 PM

    allmylovingdays - it would certainly be interesting to see EJ and Will form some sort of connection through all of this!

    breathtaking - thanks sweetie! Hope you had a nice christmas and new years! I completely agree with you about Will being like Sami! At first i thought Will was frustratingly nothing like his mom but now i think he is showing he definitely inherited some of Sami's spunk!!

    Posted by jenwilli at Saturday, January 07 2012 05:20 PM

    little bear - So glad you had a wonderful vacation and yet, so glad you are back. We missed you

    breathtaking - As I stated previously, I believe we are going to see a whole different Will. We watched how Sami changed after she discovered John and Marlena making whoopee in a Titan conference room. Sami began acting out and wreaked havoc in the lives of everyone around her. Now, Will is Sami!!!!!

    allmylovingdays - EJ is indeed complex as he struggle over good & evil!

    Wait until Sami finds out EJ now owns Will and intends to put him to work!! And wait until Rafe finds out Sami cheated on him with EJ!!!!

    I wonder how Victor will feel when Brady chooses Basic Black over Titan.

    I hope Jack & Daniel both make the decision to walk away from Jennifer!
    Who can live like that!! Her indecision is ridiculous!!

    Imo, Abby has a warped view of reality!! Austin is happily MARRIED (at least for now)!!

    It appears that Carrie is more infatuated with Rafe than Rafe is with her! The way I see it, Rafe really loves Sami!

    little bear - Did I say how much I luv, luv, luv your comments Again welcome back from your fantastic vacation

    Posted by little bear at Saturday, January 07 2012 07:38 PM

    jenwilli - you are so sweet! Thanks for the welcome back and i missed you girlies too!!

    Posted by makesmehappy at Sunday, January 08 2012 02:09 PM

    little bear - Great to have you back with us!!

    jenwilli - I absolutely agree with you about Abby. She is much more into Austin than he seems to be into her. I see a man who is happily married and very much in love with his wife. The trouble is Abby has this fantasy that Austin likes her more than just as a friend, or as a friend’s daughter... I think that she might become a rebound girl for him when Austin gets hurt by Carrie if the affair with Rafe that we suppose finally happens...
    Also, your description of the decoration in DiMera casa (on Friday's update) had me laugh OUT loud!!! It would be nice though for Nicole to have more influence on the renovating decision in that house and put some American classic or «contemporary» in the mansion!

    Posted by The Engineer Mom at Sunday, January 08 2012 06:15 PM

    Jenwilli, wait until RAFE finds out *****SPOILER***** EJ gave Will a CAR! Mr. I haven't been a great FBI agent lately is sure going to kick his skills into high gear trying to figure out what that is all about!
