Days Of Our Lives
DAYS EJ and Abby Hit The Sheets! What Did You Think Of The Scenes?

Courtesy/NBC
It was a moment many EJami fans have been dreading, but yet there were viewers from Days of our Lives who actually thought the shockeroo of EJ (James Scott) having sex with Abigail (Kate Mansi) was a good story point to shake things up on the canvas! Let the opinions begin!
On Tuesday’s episode of the long running NBC soap opera, EJ and Abby just could not seemingly fight their attraction for one another and ended up hitting the sheets! The dialog repartee after they had sex was actually the most interesting part of this with Abigail in a bit of shock over what she had done stating, “I have only been with two men in my entire life … and they’re brothers … and DiMeras!”
As EJ tried to get some words out to Abigail on what had just happened between them, she interrupted and said, “And now you feel you owe this weak-willed girl an apology? The girl who couldn’t resist your charm, and who can’t think for herself?’ To which EJ replied, “Abigail, I saw you kneeling beside my brother stopping him from bleeding to death with you bare heads. Trust me! I don’t think you are some weak-willed little girl.”
So, where do you think the story will go from here? Is EJ using sex to keep Abigail quiet? Do you think the sex scenes were hot? Do you think EJ and Abby have on-screen chemistry? Watch the clips from today’s encounter between EJ and Abby and let us know your thoughts?
HOT HOT HOT HOT HOT!
The scenes at the end were vaguely reminiscent of Jack and Jennifer’s early days (I’m a huge sucker for the sinner/saint trope). DAYS really should grab hold of this pairing and run with it. The fallout will be glorious, and there’s a potential for something real underneath.
I loved the scenes! I’ve never really watched Days of Our Lives before but watched the promo and had to watch. Glad I did! They are so sexy and hot and they have loads of chemistry! As long a I keep getting this scenes, I’ll continue watching! 🙂
They have great Chemistry and Sami is too messed up to end up with EJ…he’s too mature for her. Abby and him are hot, hot , hot.
FANTASTIC!!!!! Ejabby is the BEST thing to happen to Days in YEARS!!!!
Love Love Love them. WOW!!!
So hated this! This pairing makes absolutely no senses and Days jumped the shark trying to make viewers believe that Abigail would lose control and go to bed with EJ. Not to mention EJ being so in love with Sami & hitting it with Abigail. Beyond bizarre and no chemistry
I couldn’t agree more. This made me sick. It was not hot….nor was it believable! I’m upset that he did this because we all know it is just another way to keep Sami and EJ apart. I’d rather see those two become the next dangerous power couple than see this pairing. I keep praying it is just some crazy dream.
I was soo disgusted when I saw what happened between EJ and Abbi!! Especially because I cannot stand Abbi..blah!! I can’t believe this happened. The only reason I will probably continue watching is just to watch Sami beat the ever living $#%*! out of her and EJ. Abbi is such a hypocrite. She gets mad at Chad and Cameron for keeping things from her but yet she almost destroyed Austin and his marriage by lying about sleeping with him and now sleeps with EJ (sami’s fiance). She pretends to be a “goody-goody” but she is nothing but a slut! I’ve been a fan of DOOl for over 15 years, if they continue this stupid plot and make EJ and Abbi a “couple” I will officially be done watching DOOL.
I agree with you soo much on this!!! Abigail acts all innocent when she is nothing but a nasty little tramp. EJ and sami were meant to be together and Abagail just doesnt fit the picture isn’t EJ like way older than her, and ever since she “supposively lost her virginity to chad” shes becoming more and more of a little slut, accusing EJ of using his charm doesn’t she know how to say NO she was the one who first kissed EJ and If her nasty ass gets pregnant and this story line continues I think my days of watching days of our lives will come to an end. I cant stand a woman who can’t find a man and go after somebody elses man Abagail is a sloppy left over and aint nobody going to want her after this.
I agree with you so much. I hate it so much. It is such a disgusting predictable story line. The writers have no creativity.
Well said Lisa and Christi!
This whole thing truly did “jump the shark” and I’m NOT going to enjoy the fallout. Abigail is going to become obsessed…again…with another woman’s man, and I’m going to hate it. FF material for me!
What message are they portraying here? That it’s OK for a woman to “force” a man to have sex when he says “no” …several times?
I totally agree!! Ugh, I can’t stand her. Abbi’s got to go.
EJ and Abi was a huge mistake! EJ needs to make amends and start telling Sami the truth then there needs to be wedding bells. Abi is sickening and should be removed from the show. She’s hard to stomach!!!!!
Cannot stand EJ and Abby. The one thing I felt EJ would do was be faithful to Sammy…No matter what else he did wrong. He blew it. His relationship with someone who understands him, his family life–all of it.
And Abby is so not worth it.
When I saw this coming I thought NO WAY Please don’t do this!!! I hate it and think I will stop watching after 30 years of being a loyal viewer. There have been other storylines in the past that I have been unhappy with but none more than this. I can’t even express how much I hate this. E.J. professes to love Sami so much and Abby is the woman his brother loves then next thing you know they are together??? Abby waits how long to lose her virginity and now she is willing to jump in bed with men who are engaged and not to mention one of her best friends’ mom’s fiancé???? Again I hate this and will not watch.
I completely agree with you! I have been watching Days of our Lives for 20 years and I felt sick to my stomach watching this unfold! I haven’t even watched for days now because of the new story line. I can not believe after all this time they made the viewers wait for Sammy and Ej to be together and then they do this. Days of Our Lives is not the same anymore
I really, really wanted EJ and Sammy to make it this time. No, they did not have to have a flawless relationship or stay “blissfully wed” for 40 years. But, CAN NOT stand that EJ has been unfaithful with ABBY, of all people. Give me a break. And, it’s not about “keeping her from talking with Hope”. That was poor writing.
Having said that, I still LOVE Days and it is good to great in so many ways. I just can’t quit watching my favorite soap 🙂
Sami and Abby can be babysitters for each other. When EJ and Sami go out, Abby can watch the kids and when EJ and Abby go out, Sami can watch the kids, including the beautiful EJabby baby. They can share everything, including each other. LOL!!!
Oh Myyyy. Cannot see our Ms. Sami getting on board with ev-er accepting Abbigail. No way. NO how. The real Sami Brady would shred her to teeny tiny pieces. Just hope the writers agree and make it so for Sami before she departs Salem!
I absolute LOVED the EJ and Abigail lovemaking! James Scott and Kate Mansi’s chemistry is unprecented – the EJabby sex scene is the hottest I’ve seen in Daytime in YEARS! The show would be foolish not to bank on this duo! They have a gold mine! Go for it please, DAYS!
Unprecented? No! (not sure what that means)
Unprecedented? Still no!!
Hot? No!
Disgusting? Yes, yes, yes!
EJabby is the most beautiful union ever!!!
Sami should consider EJ more often. She is too stuck on herself. Sami messed up!!!
I have watched DOOL since I was very young with my mother (so we will just say for at least 25+ years) and I think this gets us back to more of what made days popular so keep it up writers! It is a soap opera so if you expect people to stay with someone or not do something wrong you should be watching something else!! Team EJabby!!!
loved loved loved it…. I DVR it and watch it in bed at night wen my hubby dozes off. Even he was into it! Kudos to the writers EJ and Abigail have great chemistry and i can just see them sneaking off together for a rendezvous in the future!
Finally some excitement, and talk about HOT excitement! I loved the sex scene between Abigail and Ej and am hoping there are many more scenes between them! Already can’t wait for the next episode. Team Ejabby all the way!!!
Hottest scenes I’ve seen on Days in years! Their chemistry is off the charts and they’ve turned this longtime EJ hater into a fan. Keep it up Days!
Ejabby are fire. I loved it. I hope the writers give them a chance. These 2 are total opposites but are drawn together. 50 shades right here. Ejami who?
DISTUBING!!!! Tired of these age range relationships on soaps. It’s GROSS!!!! I’ll fast forward all that cheap. Not routing for that couple AT ALL!!! So now she has sex and is just all great with it now PAHLEASE
“Age range”? Abigail was actually born on the soap before EJ was….
The Age thing I thinks is why is doesn’t work for me either. I think that is why I don’t see chemistry or anything sexy about this couple. Good call you guys!
They were SMOKING hot and also… tender and sweet. Wow. Blown away. Didn’t know I wanted this pairing, but all it took was one kiss and I am hooked. I hope TPTB don’t keep this as just a one time thing.
Those 2 — EJ and Abigail -boring and gross. It has always been Sammi in his heart.
Sammi is the true love of Ej. I Hate how people are talking Ejabby. Ejabby is nothing compared to Ejami. There is NO Ejabby-it sounds horrible! GO Away Abigail!!! Ej will always love Sami. Best couple ever.
The scenes were excellent. JS and KM look great together and the love scenes direction and staging was very good. The scened played out very believable and the story possibilites alone are endless. Are they going to have an affair? Will this jsut be a ONS? Will she develop a fatal attraction type of thing for him…..all good soapy possibilites
And don’t forget a baby! A Dimera/Horton baby!!! WOW!!!!!
Those EJ/Abby scenes were f’ing hot, hot, hot! James Scott could be hot with anyone but Kate Mansi brought it. I was quite shocked and no way was EJ using her..He was all about himself in those scenes. Twice he started to leave and desire pulled him back. I also like Sammy/EJ but have to say I am now rooting for Abby/EJ to have more than a fling. I have watched those scense about 10 times and I must say even my momma thought they were hot and she’s 61. Who could resist EJ/James Scott…Great Job Kate and James and great job to Days for going there.
I think they are incredible. EJ and Abby have the makings of being a new Jack and Jennifer. It’s wonderful to see the show exploring a dynamic of this type again. EJ and Abby have a connection that goes beyond the sexual although James Scott’s and Kate Mansi’s chemistry that is so potent it is off the charts mesmerizing and then some. Their love scene was scorching hot but then the tenderness at the end showed that there’s so much more there. There’s a depth waiting to be explored. I could see this couple impacting the canvas in a significantly for years to come. EJabby would set Salem on its ear.
I am SO VERY UPSET about EJ and Abby getting together. Why can’t Sami and EJ just be happy together. They are SO good together and SO made for each other. I just so desperately wish that someone will wake up and this whole EJ and Abby thing have just been a dream. I HATE that this has happened. Please fix this ASAP. I DO NOT want EJ and Abby together!
UGH!!!!
AGREED! Why couldn’t they give us a EJami wedding? Why do soap writers think that a happily married couple is boring? Have them work on a problem together.
I really liked that they had finally gotten EJ and Sammi together, he’s loved her the entire time he’s been on the show. And I would have liked to see more stuff where she’s pulling her crazy stunts and he’s mad at first but adores her and accepts her as well…I mean Sami and EJ are cut from the same cloth and both will do just about anything at times – so definitely a fun couple to watch together – plus they’ve always had lots of heat on screen! EJ would do just about anything…but cheat on SAMI? She’s the one he cheats WITH. No way. Soaps are great for unpredictability, but c’mon – that just makes no sense. Hot scenes or not, makes no sense for the character of EJ. And btw, he has hot scenes with every woman they pair him with – so that’s not the point…I am hoping he did this for Sami in some way.
To answer some of your questions quickly before getting into a longer spew of my thoughts; No, I don’t think this was to keep Abby quiet. Yes, I do think their sex scenes were hot. Undeniably so do I think ‘Ejabby’ have on screen chemistry.
As for how the story will go from here on out? I’m not quite sure. These scenes were taped 5 months ago. They pretty much already know where they wanted to go with this story and while I would hope they go in the direction of them shaking things up; I know they are the underdog here.
EJ and Abby are a breath of fresh air. I don’t say that often and I don’t think that pairs often are because a lot of stories are forced or obvious in soaps nowadays. I believe that these two have a natural attraction to one another and from what I’ve seen; it’s been building for months. Maybe it wasn’t the full out ‘I want you and I’ll have you’ eventual kind of way but a scene here or there to where it manifestation itself in the scenes above.
What I liked about these scenes wasn’t the actual sex. I thought those were very hot but I knew they would be. It was the conversation after the sex took place. There was obvious guilt or at least admitting their wrongdoing but it also left things open ended for the future. This is if they decide to go in that direction because as stated before, these scenes were already taped far in advance.
As Abby said, she’s only been with 2 guys in her life and EJ was one of them. She’s inexperienced and EJ picked up on that. He didn’t mock her or tell her that she needs to gain some experience or make her feel inferior to his superior sexual experiences. Instead, he was able to pick up on her feelings and assure her that while what they did was wrong; it was something that he wanted in that moment. I think that was very important and cleared up any thing that could be said of it being something wrong or something he didn’t want. In that moment, Abby could have been completely overwhelmed but he eased her into this. So, for me, it wasn’t necessarily him closing the door completely but rather leaving it open with the light on.
Which brings me to my next point. EJ enjoys her. Not because she’s ‘sexy’ or ‘beautiful’ or for something that’s sexual and fleeting. There are tangible and long lasting things that he, himself, without prompting mentioned that he likes about her. That is a strong statement from someone like EJ and something that we haven’t seen from him in quite a long time. Even when Abby had gotten things mixed up as EJ was talking, he took control and told her to listen to him and to get his point about this. She sort of started freaking out and he calmed her. He didn’t let her lose her mind in this but rather brought her back and helped her see that even while being wrong; he was there with her. It was a very tender and touching moment at the end that I didn’t expect whatsoever but thoroughly enjoyed.
Obviously, I think it’s quite clear that I would love to see something develop between them. I think EJ needs something fresh, new, and different than what he has right now and has had in his past. But I also get it. Ejami is a ‘supercouple’ and this should be a bump in the road for them as they’ve overcome so much already. However, I think EJ and Abby, if given the right amount of nourishing treatment could become a couple with rooting power that no one could have expected to root for but in it for the long haul.
more than any thing…. I’m happy that the DAYS production was able to “find” a compatible, pairing…. with chemistry to further flesh out their characters and add more volume to the canvas… on which to cull more story
having said this…. this is one of those pairs… that in the back of our minds… these two – like all super couples – Sammi and EJ – will always find their way back to each other
diverson, tactics, intrigue, sparks, waylay… it’s all their… for the taking.. and to render absolutely how good this trio could be
as said… by many… this only gives Sami and EJ more avenues to act… she hasn’t sparred with Nicole over men in so long… so, why not Abs
EJ… if this intensifies his DiMera stature… lord knows… we all know hes got the cajones.. all man
hip hip hooray for DOOL
your 2nd to last paragraph was spot on
thank the writing
I have watched Days on and off for two decades now. I’ve basically been watching out of habit for the longest time. This EJ and Abby twist has hit me like lightning in a bottle. They have such unexpected chemistry together, this is hot stuff and they are a much needed shot in the arm in the couples department. I’m excited to watch again!
I agree. For a long time I have dvr’d days and then fastforward thru most of it, especially EJ and Sami scenes together. Since EJ and Abby have hit the sheets, I haven’t missed a day. Finally something exciting to watch.
The scenes and the chemistry were very good, but oy…Sami (and Chad – the brother issue even if he is off the screen/radar for now)…..
Holy cow!!! Loved this!! So hot ~ watched over & over again. The acting was tremendous! I’m
Sure he was using her, but totally hope he is taken by surprise & falls for her. And when Sami finds out? Great tv potential! Now, can we get Hope & Brady together please???
Brady and Theresa!
The writers did a good job of weakening the Ejami relationship to the point where this would be actually plausible- having Sami reject EJ over and over again recently, you can understand how he is desperate for “female attention”. What’s bothering me is Abigail- what a little horn dog homewrecker!? It’s like she didn’t give his family a second thought….he did, but still gave in. I hope I stop hearing adjectives like “innocent and sweet” used to describe her, she was in full on femme – fatale mode. Ultimately, I’m an Ejami fan, but maybe this will stir things up and keep it interesting. Just please, please no pregnancy resulting from this!M
Disgusting. He is just using her to keep quiet and I don’t think days should run with this pairing. I can’t wait for this to explode in their faces and for him to lose Sami because she deserves better than a lying cheating man for a husband. This is very out of character for EJ and their scenes were very awkward. Sami is going to have an aneurysm when she finds out and we know she will. EJ deserves to lose everything.
I thought it was out of character for EJ too. He loves Sami. He gave up everything for her. So she’s withholding sex. Does that mean he jumps the first girl who looks twice at him? He has willpower. He has control. Don’t like it. All my soaps are disappointing me lately. Boo!
That’s what I thought too!! I was like “Heck No!” But yet again it’s not the first time EJ cheats. He cheated on Sami with Nicole, and on Nicole with her own sister and also with Sami. So I guess once a cheater always a cheater eh? I am a huge EJAMI fan, I am so sad to see this happening with Abbi, especially because I DO NOT like her character at all…she annoys me. I wish Days would get rid of her
Their scenes were a great mix of hot, intense, tender, and beautiful. Seriously EJ and Abby are very intriguing. I’m liking this and the actors work so well together.
NOT NOT NOT NOT NOT!
Chemistry?? Yeah picture an elephant and a mouse.
HAHAHAHAA!!!! Exactly! Loved your comment.
I can see Abby becoming preggars and another wedding interupted -Sami and E.J.s!!! Funny, GH will be known for its several baby storylines and Days will be known for its wedding interutions…lol…ok, i predicted Abby and E.J. but i could be wrong about the wedding thingy!!! MAYBE BABY!!! lol
interuptions…irony is i was interupted when i was writing this…lol
My thoughts exactly…. Abby will now be pregnant and Sami will have to find out no matter what and of course on her wedding day. Not liking this at all. Sami and EJ as a power couple is what I would like to see…
What would be a great twist for a change is that if Abby was preggars and interupts the ceremony is that Abby is escorted out of the church and Sami and E.J. get married anyway…that would be so different and original when it comes to these type of storylines!!!
OMG! No! If EJ weren’t with Sami, I might go for it, but I want EJ with Sami.
I can see EJami’s wedding now. Just as they’re about to pronounced husband and wife, Abby comes running down the aisle saying she’s pregnant. I don’t know who would punch EJ first, Sami or Chad. Oh yes, I do: Jennifer. And Anne and Theresa will be rubbing their hands in glee.
Sami and EJ belong together. I really hate that they’ve gone there with EJ. And Abby has reverted back to when she was after Austin. She’s really trampy IMO.
Abigail is hardly trampy, especially when comparing her to Sami.
I seen it coming as soon as they had EJ and Abby always running into each other…and I was hoping no….I can’t stand Abby…she plays the victim well…she was crying when she was with Chad and they ended up in bed…then with EJ she was saying how she was not that great of a person and where did they end up….Skank….whos next Stephano she could keep in the family…..I like Sami and I think that EJ would not have screwed around on her he has loved her for so long…and has given up everything for her…so now he cheats…like come on, I hope she is not preggers that would be sickening, Please stop this, let Sami and EJ work things out and EJ tell Abby that he does not want to see her or hear from her again..just leave them alone…she nevers finds her own man (or least she can’t keep her own man) she has to go after someone else’s man…for someone who is suppose to be so honest , I think Daddy would be so ashamed…
I am a week behind watching the show. When I read this was going to happen, I thought it what “DOOL” needed to give the show a jolt. Something has been missing since Kristen left Salem. I think the fallout is going to be amazing. Abigail had that “fatal attraction” storyline with Austin. Now, Sami is going to see Abby as someone who did this to Carrie and now her. I think the long-term fallout would be fantastic if she got pregnant. That would drive story for years and make Abby seem more human instead of a Barbie doll. I love Kate Mansi and think this will give her an amazing oportunity to work with all of the heavyweights.
These 2 are arguably the sexiest couple in Salem right now. …EJ and Sammi have gotten boring and pairing EJ and Abby gives me something to be excited about when I turn on the TV! Kudos to the writers for taking this path and going for the unexpected shock reaction! Very well done!
Ej shows more tenderness with Abby then he ever did with Sami. Scenes were definitely electric in a romantic way and not abusive as with Sami and forced. They need to dump the ejami train wreck and get on the Ejabby love train. The writers and producers have to learn you just can rewrite history it never works.
The EJ DiMera and Abigail scenes were amazing. EJabby all the way. One of the best things that has happen on Days of our Lives. Amazing Amazing Scenes.
EJ was just using this to keep Abigail quiet and that is why he added the thing at the end. Of course Sami will find out though and all hell will break loose. Then of course Abigail will turn into a crazy high school girl again with a crush on an older man like she did with Austin.
I really liked the scene right after when they both were just totally stunned. sometimes silence speaks volumes.
days has been so much more enjoyable since they’ve been mixing the characters up in scenes.
looks like all 3 of sami’s men have other women on their minds. can’t wait to see how that goes
A few of my friends & I were talking about this episode & we agreed it really depressed us when they followed through with this. Found it ridiculous & Abigail is now sort of the villian. This does not make me want to watch this at all. Sami & EJ make this show because they fit so well together. He tells Sami he loves her so much it hurts & then does this. Very disappointed how this played out & that Abigail pushed the issue. Not as innocent as everyone thinks. Hope Sami finds out & goes after her & also tells Jennifer
Love this turn of events! I get so bored with Sami and EJ’s story. EJ and Abigail have some seriously great chemistry on screen. Days really needs to keep this story alive! I love it!!
Ok, look, I don’t hate EJami. I think they’re pretty hot and well matched most of the time, but EJ is just too good to waste on one woman. In fact, I’d gladly watch a show in which he has no storyline beyond having sex with a different woman every episode. lol This Abigail thing has been brewing for over a year now and I’m extremely pleased with the payoff. I don’t blame either of them a bit. Furthermore, I think it’s a misdemeanor in Salem for any woman to pass up an opportunity to sleep with EJ Dimera, so she was just performing her civic duty.
Al joking aside, I loved it, but I don’t think it will mean much. Abigail seems to see it for what it was: two very hot ships passing in the night. EJ still adores Sami and he will find a way around this. He has to, because no matter how much chemistry EJabby has, they would not work. If he couldn’t make it work with Taylor, who was older and wiser, there’s no way he can make this work. Maybe sometime down the road though. She IS Jack and Jennifer’s daughter, which means she’s no shrinking violet. She needs to grow up some, but there’s nothing wrong with laying a little foundation for the future. After all, if there’s one thing soaps have on their side, it’s time.
James Scott has never had this much chemistry with another actress! I hope Ej/Abby are the real deal.
I agree that James Scott has never had this much chemistry with another actress.Sami and Ej scenes were getting boring and honestly, you can tell the chemistry was there between Abby and Ej. One of the best scenes i have ever watched on a soap. I love it when you dont see it coming. When he went to the cabin, I thought maybe the old Ej was going to ‘get rid’ of Abby but surprise, he was just going to seduce her instead. At least it was better than Kate and Rafe….YUCK!
Yup. EJami are SO forced! It is funny to watch there scenes because they are trying so hard. EJabby is more natural.
It was wrenching . Many fans are so taken with character of EJ that fans felt like EJ was cheating n all the female fans and Sami.
I hope that the kiss was the only real thing that happened and the rest was simply Abby’ s dream after she safely returned to Horton House.
I see the idea behind Abby.’s attraction to EJ. But EJ could hardly look at her. He was ashamed and uncomfortable. The cameras were at a slight distance – unlike EJ and Sami and even the EJ and Nicole elevator scenes several years ago.
Rgardless, this seems to be a slight obstacle and an opportunity for EJ and Sami to do things differently and be forthcoming with the truth. And recognize there relationship is the most important thing.
We will see. Hate to see vitriol and upset by many on Twitter. Just exhausting to even read.
I have been watching Days since I was 15 years old (I am now 43) and this is the first time I have ever written in! EJ/Abigail was one of the bests twists I’ve seen in years. Having recorded it, I had to fight the urge to fast forward through the other scenes to get to this one. I think they make a great paring!!! I think Abigial’s character could do a lot for EJ’s bad-boy image as well as EJ’s character could bring Abigial off her high-horse some. I can not wait to get home from work today and watch it! I’m over the EJ/Samantha characters. Actually Samantha’s character gets on my nerves. At some point, you would think her character had to mature, but nope, her charcter role is so predictable. Her role is way to spastic and irrantional which is why I fast forward through many of her scenes (sorry Allison), but that kind of continuous drama I can do without.
I totally agree with you- completely. You took the words right out of my mouth and this is my first time to write in in 20 years! Congrats- Days writters- mission accompli! You have woken the sheep!!
Ive always been Ejami, but the hypocritical, judgemental whiney side of Sami has really driven me crazy. She shot him in the head and has lied about everything her entire life; he’s kidnapped their daughter and manipulated her. EJ accepts her bad side and doesn’t judge. She can’t reciprocate. She has to be a victim. Ejabby is a fresh start. Crazy chemistry and new stories =I am actually looking forward to watching DAYS again!
I agree about the Samantha character. 2 episodes in a row without her grunting to EJ about this or that makes the show that much more enjoyable to watch. I actually prefer her when she interacts away from EJ like with Kate and Gabi or Eric and Brady.
Loved, loved, loved the EJ/Abbie pairing…it was hot and looked “real”! Sammi and EJ together are so boring and predictable and Sammi…well she just is not the best in sex scenes, seems contrived…..EJ is gorgeous and DOL needs to take advantage of that….let the viewers have some fun! I like the unexpected and would love to see Nicole and Eric but that has almost missed it’s mark as it has just dragged on too long.
Sorry to disagree, but why do you want to change EJ’s bad boy image?. This “flaw”, for lack of a more fitting word, is what makes him attractive. Women fans flock after him. And, as far a Abigail being a good girl? Pleeeeease!!!!! Just because she was a virgin does not make her lili-white. She has always been a slut in her head. Remember Austin? Have you forgotten her scheming? A leopard does not change its spots so conveniently….sacrebleu!!!!
Sami is leaving the show, I hope when they write her out she is taking the kids and leaving town and EJ is just stuck with Abby, and he looses everything serves him right, I hate cheaters and skunks…
sorry that was suppose to be cheaters and skanks….
Now EJ has something else to hide from Sami. I guess he doesn’t love her as much as he says. So she hadn’t had sex with him in a few days. So what? Does tha mean he lost his self control? Abby was his brother’s gf. She is the same age (or thereabouts) as Will, who is practically his stepson.
I really think Abby is a tramp. EJ was leaving and Abby stopped him. She has no respect for the fact that he is engaged, her former bf’s brother. She broke up with Chad because he lied to her. EJ lied to her too. I just don’t get it.
No to AJ. Maybe they can say Tuesday was just a nightmare.
EJ started this and Abigail finished it enough said!!
I did not expect to like these two at all, but I am sold! I used to be an EJami fan, but watching the EJabby scenes this week, I quickly realized James Scott and Kate Mansi have superior chemistry. Those love scenes…. WOW. I am still speechless! It’s refreshing to see DAYS try something new, and I really think it will pay off! EJ and Abigail could become Salem’s new powerhouse duo! I hope she is pregnant and EJ gets to experience the whole pregnancy and be apart of his child’s life without schemes and manipulations to keep him away, as Sami has disgustingly done.
All I can say is THANK YOU DAYS OF OUR LIVES! They know how to keep things interesting! EJabby for 2014!
JS and KM have smokin hawt chemistry. Days struck gold with Ejabby.
I did not expect to like these two at all, but I am so sold after watching DAYS this week! I used to be an EJami fan, but they have gotten so boring together! The show turned into my afternoon nap more often than not when Sami and EJ shared the screen lately. I can tell you that I was not sleeping a bit this week! WOW! James Scott and Kate Mansi have unprecedented chemistry…. that love scene is perhaps the hottest I’ve seen in daytime in over a decade! I am still speechless! It is refreshing to see DAYS try something new, and I really think it will pay off! EJ and Abigail could become Salem’s new powerhouse duo! I hope she is pregnant and EJ gets to experience the whole pregnancy and be apart of the child’s life without schemes and manipulations to keep him away, as Sami has disgustingly done.
All I can say is THANK YOU DAYS OF OUR LIVES! You know how to keep things interesting! EJ and Abigail were sexy while still managing to be sweet, a much more appealing option than the often cruel and abusive EJami who lately have left a bad taste in my mouth. I hope you realize the gold mine you have with these two! I will be watching daily!
Nicole also kept EJ’s kid from him. We all know EJ regrets his actions so I don’t see this as a long term thing.
What does Nicole have to do with anything? She’s not the one who’s with EJ now. I am commenting on what I presently see on-screen, and what I say is dynamite chemistry between EJ and Abigail. Days needs to pursue these two further! JMO.
Nicole also kept EJ’s kid from him not just Sami. Nobody said that nicole has anything to do with this. I’m entitled to my opinion and I see no chemistry. Read my message before commenting on it and trying to cause a problem
I think the scene was done tastefully. Abigail might just change her ways and start being a bad DiMera girl, you never know. I think they would be an awesome couple. It is just a soap to keep us entertained.
Only one thing to say. I was really quite lovely.
I HATED IT!!!!!!! HAVE ABSOLUTELY NO IDEA WHY THE STORY HAD TO TAKE THIS RIDICULOUS TURN! SURE THE SCENES WERE “HOT” BUT THAT DOESN’T MEAN IT SHOULD HAVE HAPPENED. PLEASE BE A DREAM…NO MAKE THAT A NIGHTMARE! SO DISAPPOINTED.
I think Ej and Abby have wicked chemistry ! Unlikely pair but thats how it goes. I mean look at Kate and Rafe….didnt like that pair at all., didnt seem realistic. Who wouldnt fall for EJ.? ummm can you say sexy??He is DAMN hot and could seduce any woman and she is naive. But then again, I wouldnt kick Rafe out of bed for eating crackers thats for sure! I think EJ will fall for her since Sami has lost interest in him. This will not be the last time they get busy!! Sami is gonna blow a gasket when and if she finds out lol.
Ej and Abby remind me of J and J back in the beginning. Will be nice to see a woman finally redeem EJ just like Jennifer redeemed Jack through love.
Do not compare them to Jack and Jennifer. They do not hold a candle to them. I wish Jack was still here. I can’t wait for Jennifer to find out. Abby is a tramp. She didn’t I’ve EJ’s kids one thought when she went after him.
Sami is tge tramp, not Abby.
NO NO NO!! EJ and Abby have NO chemistry together! Hate this story line. She is too young for him – and EJ is supposedly SO in love with Sami. Very disappointing.
WOW! I honestly didn’t think anyone other than Nicole could make EJ tolerable, much less HOT, but holy DAMN!! EJ and Abby … who knew??!!?
They have crazy chemistry, fantastic timing together, and I love the twistiness of their relationship!! THIS, this I could get into.
I cannot believe how HAWT these two are! DAYS please pursue EJ and Abigail further! I needed a cold shower after yesterday’s episode! WOW WOW WOW WOW..!
Absolutely AWFUL! Painful to watch and EJ looked like he would rather be anywhere else. Awkward.
Agree. I fast forwarded through some of it.
Just please, no baby!

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
