    Stale Crackers.

    Wednesday, February 22 2012
    Maggie's upset with Victor, Sami is urged to come clean, and Kate gets a shock.


    In the office, Abby tells Austin he has to tell everyone about their affair. He protests that it was only one night. As Austin is saying it has to stay between them, Carrie arrives. Austin tells Carrie he's planning a romantic getaway and was asking Abby to keep it a surprise. Carrie asks Abby about the guy who used her. Abby says he's a good guy deep down who believes in truth and honesty in a relationship. Carrie says Austin feels the same way.



    At Sami's house, she asks Marlena to spill what she knows about Will, and then go. Will arrives and informs Sami that he told Marlena she had sex with EJ. Marlena explains to Sami that Will told her because it was too difficult to carry the secret. Will complains about the grief Sami gave Rafe for kissing Carrie. Sami gets defensive and protests that she had sex with EJ because she was out of her mind in pain. Will smirks - he wishes he was adopted. Marlena tells them both to stop it - they're a family. Sami cries that she doesn't understand how she wound up with EJ that way. Marlena says she was avoiding terrible grief. Sami says she hates herself. She apologizes to Will and cries in Marlena's arms. Marlena says she has to tell Rafe. Sami refuses. They remind her that EJ knows and could use it against her. Will says he didn't tell Rafe because he didn't want to break up the family - but she did over the kiss. Sami promises to make up with Rafe and get him home, but wants to keep the EJ secret. Marlena says it's a time bomb. Sami wants to protect Rafe. Will says she's protecting herself like she always does.



    At the Kiriakis mansion, Brady tells Victor he feels to blame for Ian ending up at Titan. Victor says it's his own fault - he didn't catch his connection to Madison. Ian arrives with cookies for Maggie. He smirks that Madison's his wife. Victor accuses Ian of wanting to takeover Titan and doesn't think stale crackers will make him feel any better about this. Ian says he just wants to run the company as he was contracted to do. Brady tells Ian that keeping his relationship with Madison a secret makes it seem he's hiding other things. Ian denies it and mocks Brady for thinking he had Madison. Ian produces his new business plan for Titan, and then leaves. Victor, Maggie and Brady discuss Madison. Maggie says Brady's the man in her heart - not Ian. Once alone, Maggie confronts Victor for saying the situation with Ian wouldn't have happened if he weren't married to her. She tells him to sleep on the couch. Victor says she's the best thing that ever happened to him - if other things don't get his attention, so be it - it's just business. They kiss.



    Kate asks Quinn about a display at the gym. He turns to Madison, who urges him to tell Kate about their new arrangement. Kate says they had a deal. Quinn says it was never in writing, and Madison offered to take him international. Kate accuses Madison of doing this to get back at her. Madison asks, "For what?" Kate says for stealing Sami away maybe, but it seems more personal. Madison slams her for her age. Ian walks in and says to Madison, "Hello, lovely wife." Kate says it's all starting to make sense now - Madison knew about her relationship with Ian. Madison says she's still married to Ian and her company is way ahead - she's beat her at every turn. Madison wonders if Kate told Stefano that her ex-lover is in town. Kate reminds her what she did to Brady - she's not the disloyal one. Kate warns Madison if she keeps making things personal there will be war - and she'll lose. Kate goes, and Madison has words with Ian about him seeing Kate.



    Quinn spots Abby outside the cafe and says he's glad she's friends with Melanie again. He asks about her situation. She looks at Austin and Carrie at the next table and flirts with Quinn. He talks about going to Europe and finding Taylor. Carrie leaves, telling Austin she's excited about their getaway. Austin approaches Abby, who has said goodbye to Quinn, and asks what that was all about. Abby informs him she can date who she likes. Across the way, Brady looks up to see Madison.

    William kisses a boy.

    EJ proposes to Nicole.

    I really don't think any of us said the entire show
    was boring...just lots of s/l are rehashing old stuff...
    and that gets OLD!! Like..how in the name of everything
    good can they all of a sudden make Nicole pregnant??
    If you can't conceive...because of this and that...of
    course....Dr. D...is back in town....BARF!!! And..
    he'll know for sure.

    I don't think I'd want to tell my "lover/husband"
    that I was pregnant with his child either...right
    after learning he nailed sammi to the couch once
    again!!! He'll know in the future...but right now...
    heck no...she needs to get over this shock...especially
    with him asking her to marry him again....

    Brady apparently hasn't learned anything just yet
    either.....people think Stephano is bad....he'd best
    keep an eye in the back of his head on the creepy
    new guy in town...to me...he is not sexy...one iota!!

    Abby..she definitely needs to see someone cause
    she is way over the edge already...why does she
    think Austin needs to tell "everybody" about their
    non-existant affair....Reminds me of "Play Misty
    for me".....talk about sick!!! gheez!!!

    Posted by holdingonfordearlife at Wednesday, February 22 2012 03:28 AM

    Sorry...should have been "non-existent"...(affair
    between Abby/Austin)

    And I think most of you remember Jessica Walter
    and Clint Eastwood in "Play Misty for me"!!! That...
    I think is how the "Fatal Attraction" with Michael
    Douglas and Glenn Close...became a movie!! Scared
    the daylights out of me....I felt so horrible for
    Donna Mills....Jessica was a tough cookie!! GHEEZ!

    I am so loving DOOL’s right now. I really can’t think of a S/L that I don’t enjoy right now. Not so much into the John/Hope thing but we have to have some things from time to time to distract us I guess.

    Absolutely loved the scenes between Marlena and Sami on yesterday’s show. I don’t agree with either one of them 100 percent of the time, but I do feel like Marlena at least tries to own up to her mistakes and tries to get Sami to do the same to save her from a lot of pain. Of course Sami will be all huggie and lovey dovey when she finds out Marlena knows her secret but that is Sami. She will find a way around this I am sure. Not sure who I would like to see Sami with. I fear for Sami, even though I think Kate had some bad planned for Sami all along, but when she finds out from Ian (no less) that Sami was a mole, there will be hell to pay for Sami. I know Sami can hold up pretty good against Kate and she is getting better all the time, or maybe getting more in touch with her really bad side, but can she outsmart Kate. Uhhhhh, I don’t think so. I think Ian is going to wreak havoc on a lot of lives in Salem, but we all love to hate the baddies but root for them too. Go figure us humans we like a little bit of bad too.

    Jack and Jennifer, again awesome IMO. Get the guns out my poster friends, I am a fan that likes Jennifer. Not crazy about her being with Jack but I think she is an awesome actress and her facial expressions sometimes are just the best. I was certainly taken by surprise on yesterday’s show that she suddenly felt like she was in love with Jack and wanted him back especially since there had been little interaction between the two since the election started. I was glad that Jack backed off because truly they both need to figure out some things and being together won’t allow that to happen.

    Orrrrrrrrrrr is right about Abigail. Fatal error, stalker I don’t know whatever one wants to think or call her, I agree she is just a whole lot scary right now. That girl is so way overboard. If only she would listen to Austin, but she is living in her own little evil fantasy land right now and nothing anyone says will get through to that girl and she will not be happy until she destroys Austin and his marriage. I think she so badly wanted him to make love with her that she truly believes in her warped little mind that he did. Just looking at her eyes is scary. However, again great acting on her part.

    Glad to hear we have male posters on her. Also glad you have the courage to admit that you are a male, most would not even though I know there are plenty of males that watch soaps cause it is drama and we all love a little of that in our lives to keep us entertained.

    So looking forward to seeing what all will happen in Salem in the future. IMO, the show is at some of its best right now.

    Have a fantabulous day.

    bearigan: I so agree about yesterday's scenes with Sami and Marlena. They were awesome! Loved that Marlena refused to leave when Sami told her to get out. For me Marlena expressed a lot of what I have been thinking and saying about Sami for a long time. I love the chemistry between those two. **SPOILER*** I may get eggs thrown at me as well but I am happy Nicole is pregnant because I know how much she wants to be a mom. Even though she is no longer trying to be a major part of Sydney's life, it will be good for her to have her own child. I'm one of the few who like her with EJ so that part doesn't bother me except it will tie her to him even after she finds out what happened with Sami. I just hope she carries this one full term. Another thing I agree with was how great the Jack/Jennifer scenes were. It made me a Jack and Jennifer believer. I have always liked Jennifer but did not like the way she was strining two men along. I like Daniel too, but I am beginning to like with Jack a lot.

    In case that last sentence made no sense I meant "stringing" to men along (not strinning). Also meant I like Jennifer with Jack.

    I like the new Jack way better than the old Jack.

    Good morning!

    @ Bearigan- I’ve always been a Jennifer fan and IMO, Melissa Reeves has always done an awesome job portraying her! I used to love her with Jack when they started having feelings for each other; he was so uncomfortable being close to her and giving in to what he was feeling for this woman. She was the little lady who knew it all and would do everything to convince him of what could be!! (does anyone remember a scene where they would play a TV game show about relationships???... Gives you an idea of how long I have watched this show!)

    Nowadays, I’m not so sure Jenn and Jack fit as well as before… It seems to me that her sudden change of heart yesterday comes from Daniel’s absence and her needing comfort. I think Jack reacted very maturely by running away from her. He knows that as soon as the good doctor comes back to town, Jennifer will be hesitant once again.

    If it is done correctly, the moving on will bring the viewers and fans other great stories. Though sad, Jack and Jenn’s separation will lead to something more exciting than them getting back together and reliving the same old hurdles that have always been.

    I think pairing Jenn with Daniel makes sense at this time in their life. As for Jack, I would love to see him have interaction with someone who can play funny as well as dramatic, like Nicole or maybe Billie when she returns… If Billie is drawn to Jack, she won’t be close to Bo or represent any danger to his relationship with Hope.

    **********SPOILER***********

    I think they said Billie will have a ton of face time with Daniel, so I am not sure where that leaves Jen and Jack.

    Posted by bearigan at Wednesday, February 22 2012 09:15 AM

    Though I do not wish separation or divorce on anyone, I do think Jack and Jennifer have grown apart in many ways. They will always have the bond of their children but I am not sure there is much else since they seemed to have spent more time apart than together. I remember when Jennifer married Peter back years ago. I like Jennifer with Daniel but would like to see that relationship grow with time not rushed and that was what seemed to be happening as usual. As far who Jack would fit with, I am not sure since there doesn't seem to be a lot of available women his age in town. Maybe he and Lexi, just kidding. It could be Jack and Billie but it almost seems like they come from two very different worlds so really not sure. What I am sure of can't wait to watch the show everyday.

    i have a question and I really hope someone will answer me
    How old is Alison Sweeney? I saw somewhere that she was born in 1989 which would make her 22 or 23 right? Then I saw somewhere that she was 35. Can anyone clarify this?
