Harlee this does sound pretty exciting! I am all for Days speeding up their stories a little bit. I just want them to be good stories! Hopefully the Gina/John story will move along quickly and not start a long series of silliness!
Sounds like Abe has really screwed up! The problem with this is that good people don't know how to be bad and get by with it. Bad people have all the tools they need to get away with alot. Plus they know a set up when they see it. Abe is just walking into the Dimera's and handing them his job on a silver platter with Jen's assistance. Those two need to get back on track.
Exciting news about both Sami and Will. I think that EJ is messing with Will trying to get him to fall in love with him so he can be in more control. Funny thing could EJ fall for his own trap? That would be a great twist!

@marknsprmo: Sounds like the roots of getting Alexandra Dimera back. File for that divorce. We need Alexandra wrecking havoc, turning over Holy Water holders, stabbing nurses with medicine meant for her and plotting to do anything to protect and keep what she believes is hers.

Basically we need her back in the Dimera fold And she needs a man she can actually have sex with. Because her "father" is just not cutting it.

Because when Lexie is driven mad then Renee Jones just takes over the show and the gives the rest of the cast lessons in acting!

I know you like your Lexie with a little sauce! I actually like her better when she is a good guy. I think her understated role as good Lexie is very good. So although I agree she gives some bravura moments when she is angry, I think she can get righteously angry as well, as I think Abe is just about to be reminded!

Yeah I do. I also can't wait to see what happens when Nicole learns the truth about EJ. And then you know Rafe is gonna go over there and fight EJ.

I looking forward to see how Nicole reacts when she finds out about EJ & Sami. I think the inner bitch of Nicole will be emerging and Nicole & Sami throw down will be ON! Nicole was the bright spots of last 2 weeks, I can't get enough of her...she has layers like my Reva Shayne...hellcat fire...I love her! This will be interesting to see how Lexie handles this with Abe, she could turn on EJ & Stefano blaming them for what happened to her marriage that drove Abe's action...Dimera style. I looking forward to see Lexie more of independent woman...stronger. I don't want Lexie all evil just forceful and bitchy.

@Everyone: Come on! I want this Aleandra Dimera back

Awwwwww...

But yes I can't wait to see Nicole either. She needs to get in that ass on Sami.

I liked the clip of Lexie being bitchy, there be fine line to me to see that side of Lexie but I don't her to all evil as Stefano, still let Lexie have that decent side as Celeste, so she still retains her soul. I'm all for them to make Lexie embrace her Dimera side...the money, the perks, and if she has a beef with someone take no prisoners attitude...more like a "Dominique Deveraux" style would be delicious. Renee Jones' hair was so long in the clip and loved the red tint, she looked beautiful. I have always known of RJ's work from the soaps and I always harbored a secret...as disappointed as I am that VR burnt bridges on Y&R will probably never return, I always thought RJ could be recast of Dru if she ever left Days...I said it!

harlee490,in my best imitation Caroline Brady voice to her crazy granddaughter Sami, "You're playing a dangerous game."

I do think that if Kristoff St. John ever made the move to Days, he and Renee would have crazy chemistry.

@SoapArmageddon @ harlee490: I always thought if RJ came to Y&R she could play a real spunky Business Executive who got with Neil and hell maybe even Victor or Jack too.

But they tried to recast Dru back when Vicki first left the show in 90's and the actress didn't last 2 months because the fan reaction was negative. It was Kent Masters King who last played Dr. Laney on GH.

Now as for KSJ. He could be the recast of Abe's broth Jonah and come back to have re-do of the almost Affair with Lexie. Now that would be hot!

Yes, I remember when they tried to recast Dru and the actress lacked something and was flat. Where RJ is much stronger actress and her and KSJ...WOW could steam it up...RJ could play mean ass black bitch when pissed like VR. I used to love Dru vs. Phyllis was spectacular. What made it great were both strong actresses. I loved the friendship of Sharon & Dru, that was established years ago and look now Sharon has no close girlfriend friendships..at all! Excuse me I got to go pay a visit Esmeralda to cast an ole evil spell on MAB ASS I wouldn't want KSJ to leave Y&R Neil is needed and one of the sweetest piece of meat on soaps!!

The last time Will was seen before yesterday's episode, he was going to a party with Sonny and his friends. I'm assuming it was a party of young gay men. I feel rather cheated that we didn't get to see Will in that type of setting for the first time.

Was it a budget issue or did that get forgotten in the transition to the new EP? I'm not sure this Passions woman (as I call her) will be good for the show.

@soaparmageddon: I believe the main reason for bringing Liza on as the EP was because she is like Frank Valentini when it comes to working with less money. Too many of the veteran EP's don't know how to work with smaller budgets since they are use to having millions upon millions to spend on lavish weddings and location shoots. So in this day and age you need an EP who knows how to stretch a dollar.

When it comes to the storyline aspects. Passions was all Reilly's creation. He was the was the big kahuna. So everything was translated from his will. That was all him. Liza did a good job at AMC as an associate EP. But I think she wanted the big job and you know who was not giving it up...
