Dang it, you go away for a couple of "days" (haha) and you miss all the gossip. First of all, welcome to all you newcomers: I guess I'll start my reply by saying that JC, Phillip really rocks my world too! He's quite the hottie, much more so than the one who was married to Belle a few years back, so I'm really happy that he rejoined the cast. I loved Shawn, Belle, and Mimi too. I kind of miss them. They brought a youthful innocence to the show that really isn't there anymore. I guess the whole Will/Mia friendship kind of takes care of that, but not in the same way. I was especially bummed when Mimi left the show, (she was my favorite character.) I think she's on One Life to Live Now. Okay, here's the story with the babies. Last year, Nicole, who was told she could never have children, became pregnant with E.J.'s baby. A few months later, she miscarried. She was so devestated by the loss, ( and so scared that she would lose EJ to Sami, who already had a son by E.J.) that she decided to fake the rest of her pregnancy and adopted a baby. Then, along came Mia, a pregnant teen who happens to be due around the same time Nicole would've given birth. Nicole convinces Mia to let her adopt the baby. Fast forward a few weeks:
Nicole learns that Sami, who has been away for the past several months in witness protection is pregnant with yet another one of E.J.'s kids. By pure soap opera timing, both Sami and Mia deliver their daughters on the same night. Nicole then makes the last minute decision to switch Mia's baby with Sami's so that she could raise E.J.'s biological daughter as her own. (E.J., meanwhile, is blissfully unaware that Sami was ever pregnant.)
Sami, not wanting her daughter to be raised by the Dimera family, decides upon her return from witness protection to tell everyone she adopted a child. A few months later, the baby came down with bacterial meningitis and sadly passes away, (that was the funeral you saw Sami preparing for.) In the aftermath of this tragedy, Sami decides to tell E.J. "the truth" about their daughter. (Of course what neither Sami or E.J. know is that it wasn't their baby that died, it was Mia's.)
So E.J. is furious at Sami for denying him the chance to get to know his daughter, and is now suing for sole custody of their son, Johnny.<---LOVE HIM TO PIECES, haha. Mia has no idea that her daughter is dead and Nicole, for the time being at least, is sitting pretty. Any questions?
Whew...that took some explaining...haha.

Jack and Jennifer were my all time favorite couple. I think my all time favorite Days couple were Mimi and Rex. But, Austin and Carrie were great too!

Ok this is more for Nancy since she probably thinks I'm making all this stuff up and I'm stalking her same likes. LOL Searching fast this was all I could find. Got no pics with the big guys at this event but did with some lesser known actors that weren't really on the show long. I'll keep hunting for the ones I took at some events at hotels in LA. They were quite fun. Wonder if they still do those kinds of things. Anyway this was a Days vs Santa Barbara (remember that soap?) battle baseball game in 1988. I remember shouting "Hey Wally" from the stands and him looking at me so I could take that great pic. That's Wally Kurth and Steve (Patch) but I can't remember his real name though, doing the pitching. So see I'm not making this stuff up....LOL

Those are fun pics, Carrie. ;D I love Steve and I'm bummed that they wrote he and Kayla off the show. He never had a very good storyline when they brought him back. Bo and Hope will always be my favorite couple. I never liked him with anyone else. Not even Billie. It's too bad they wrote John and Marlena off too because I could see them both fitting into the current storyline with Sami/EJ/Nicole/Mia/Will very nicely.

and -why after alll the crap Sami and Lucas went through to be together did they break up? b/c of EJ. but is sami with EJ no! Thats what bugs me about soaps-too many boyfriends. Rafe is so uncessary right now imo. I loved the flashback thing with Sami and EJ (cant remember the details) but It was EJ as his grandfather and Sammi as his soulmate. That storyline made me think the two of them (ej and sami) would be the next big supercouple on the show. I was really rooting for sami and Lucas then thought maybe sami and ej would work out but NOOOOO of course not-its a soap-never a happy ending. I think Sami is just cursed. Yes, this. After fighting against an EJ/Sami relationship, I found myself liking them as a couple. Then started routing for them! Next thing...Days tears them apart...enter Rafe. Now I'm liking them together...*shakes head* what this show does to me! Nice pictures Carrie! I think it's Steven Nichols in the last one. Josh Taylor is the only Days star that I've seen in person and even that was from a distance...no picture. Favorite Days couple - my choice would be Bo & Hope.

I know, right? I have to confess, I have always liked the idea of Sami and E.J. together. They have wonderful chemistry. I know I'm sort of in the minority here, but I kind of like her with Rafe too!
The couple that I don't like together is Chloe and Lucas. Even before her affair with Daniel, I never thought they were a good fit. Very square peg, very round hole. Come to think of it, I've never liked anyone that Lucas was paired with, Sami being the one exception. And, it's not so much that I don't like the women he chooses, I just don't like them with him. He always seems to pick girls who are wrong for him ::sigh:: I'm beginning to think he isn't very bright, haha.
One couple I do think work together are Phillip and Stephanie. I'm not sure why, they're completely different people (and God knows they've broken up enough times.) But, I'm really pulling for them to end up together for the long haul.
Very nice pics, btw, Carrie. I can't speak for everyone here, but I believed you :-)

I'm sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but Stephanie broke her engagement to Philip on today's show. I always liked her with Max. I'd like anyone paired with Max for that matter. He's hawt. Bummed he left the show. I think EJ and Sami will eventually end up together once this whole baby switch story is revealed. Just a hunch. And I'm sort of rooting for Owen's twin brother to surface and get paired with Stephanie. I thought Owen was schmexy...if you ignore the fact that he's a raging nutcase. ;D

well thanks for explaining about the babies. To be honest the only time I really ever seem to sit and watch lately is if Phillip is on-just cant take my eyes off him. I really miss Mimi and Belle(Kirsten Storms) I just havent moved on i guess-still stuck in the past. I also liked Carrie and Austin. They always seem to get rid of the younger couples and replace them with other young couples

Yes, isn't that annoying? Everyone knows the replacement actors are not as well received as the originals, geez! When will they learn?
Sunshine, you'll be happy to know that you're off the hook because I already knew that Stephanie broke her engagement to Phillip, (I saw yesterday's show.) But, I'm still hopeful that those two crazy kids will work things out. They never could seem to stay away from each other for long.
I've always been kind of semi-warm about Max and Stephanie as a couple, (and I agree with you, he is HOT - he's got a young Johnny Depp thing going on.) I think Max always belonged with Chelsea. But, as brief as his relationships were with these women, I also liked him with Mimi and Abby. It's a shame they didn't develop the Abby thing more. She kind of left the show abruptly. But yeah, Max pretty much goes well with any young female character.
I agree, I do like Rafe and I can totally picture Sami in it for the long haul with him. But, she and E.J. have too much of a connection-no matter how much they try to fight it. The truth about Nicole will come out eventually, and then the chips will fall where they may!
Owen was kinda cute, wasn't he? He's no Phillip, but I wouldn't mind being kidnapped by him for a couple of days, haha.

Oh yes, I read about that on the Michael Jackson Tribute Thread (Thank you Sunshine!) I can live without seeing Days for another afternoon, especially for something so important.

Yes, I think I'll watch the Michael Jackson memorial.
According to DOOL, we will not miss any episodes.
The send-off for Max was wonderful!! I loved the scenes with Max and Bo!

Yeah, it seems like they aired what would have been Tuesday's episode last night on Soap Net...so we DOOLers haven't missed a beat.
Yeah, Max's send off was really well done. I especially liked his goodbye to Melanie. That was really touching.
Melanie kind of annoyed me when she first came on the show, but now I'm beginning to like her. She's a fun character.

Random Days Rant: SPOILER ALERT!!!
I just gotta say it. Phillip, what a hottie, but what a two-timing jerk! He spends the night with Melanie, gets her hopes up by telling her she's the only one he wants to be with, but then Stephanie bats her eyelashes and he not only drops Melanie like a hot potato, but flat out lies to Stephanie about what happened between them? What a spineless creep. Come on, Phillip BE A MAN!
A lesson for the kiddies out there: Never start a relationship on the rebound. Poor Melanie and, for that matter, poor Stephanie. They both deserve better.

Melanie will end up being preggers. What's with the storyline with Bo/Hope/Sierra? Yikes. But it did bring Justin back. When is Carly coming back and does anyone know how they're going to write her in?

HAHA, Yeah. Melanie probably will end up pregnant. That would serve Phillip right, I tell ya!
Justin actually has nothing directly to do with the Bo, Hope, and Sierra situation. He was brought in (hired by Victor) as Daniel's defense attorney in the whole Chloe coma mess. Shortly after he came to Salem, Sierra was kidnapped and is now being held for ransom. Justin is just kind of lending support to Bo and Hope during the crisis.
Carly? Dang. It's right on the tip of my tongue. I know I've heard of her, but I'm having trouble placing her character. Which one is she again?

;D Remember the summer of Carly buried alive in the casket?
From what I've read Carly is being brought back for a Bo/Hope storyline. I think they are bringing back Lawrence Alamaine. Now I can't remember why.
The actress who plays Melanie is on Twitter and according to her tweets she was nervous about the whole Phillip/Melanie scenes...public reaction. She is so sincere and cute when she tweets.

She was nervous about public reaction to the scenes and not the scenes themselves? Wierd. Because, if I were her, I'd be more concerned with the ladder. I get really jittery around cute boys, so doing a love scene with one would probably send me to the hospital, haha.

My guess is that Carly either comes back and comforts Bo since Hope is being such a massive meanie to him right now...or she and Lawrence Allamain come back to get involved in the Kiriakis/DiMera family war.
But since she and Bo used to have a 'thing', I wouldn't be surprised if she doesn't stir some things up. We all know Ciarra is coming back to Bo and Hope unscathed, but the damage to their relationship is going to haunt them. Typical Days.
I think the clock is ticking for Nicole. That baby switch is going to be revealed by the end of the year. My hunch is during November Sweeps.

Ugh, have you ever noticed that Bo and Hope seem to break up, or at least close to it, every time there's a crisis with one of their kids? Statistically, I guess that's normal. But, you would think in situations like that they'd want to pull together. They, (usually Hope, actually) typically run away. What's up with that?
