DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sami Tries to Splain Her Way Out of Her Affair with Lucas to EJ as Alison Sweeney Turns In Bravura Performance

On Monday’s episode of Days of our Lives, the first since the Tokyo Olympics took centerstage on NBC, provided plenty of fireworks, especially in key scenes between EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) and Sami (Alison Sweeney).

When we left off, EJ was armed with a letter from Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) about Sami’s cheating ways with Lucas (Bryan Dattilo) which landed in his hands thanks to Nicole (Arianne Zucker) – who wants payback for Sami, after Sami destroyed her relationship with Eric (Greg Vaughan).

It all goes down when EJ opens a champagne bottle for him and Sami and begins with a toast to his wife who is “beautiful, strong, and also a ‘lying adulteress.”’ Game on!

While at first, she tried to deny it, EJ gets her to admit she had sex with Lucas. However, Sami begins to get herself into deeper hot water, when she insists it didn’t mean anything, but EJ firedback that it meant something to him.  Sami recalls how Lucas and her were locked in a wine cellar fearing they would die, which brought them together and that they only slept together one time.

But not so fast there, Sami! EJ pulls out the nail in Sami’s coffin, the letter from Kristen where she tells him that Sami was having sex with Lucas in her mother’s guest room.  After a failed attempt to defend herself, EJ gives her one last chance to come clean. She then admits she slept with Lucas twice, and how she had felt lonely and that she was fearing her marriage to EJ had fallen apart, and she even throws up to him, his affair with Abigail several years ago.

While reminding him they found a way to work through his cheating ways. EJ insists what happened with Abigail was different because they weren’t married at the time.

Later in the episode, Sami shows up at Nicole’s door loaded for bear. She says, as Rafe (Galen Gering) looks on, “Rafe, you better get out of here. The bitch and I need to talk.”

Throughout the episode, Alison Sweeney delivered as she always had in Sami’s meaty storyline moments. and reminds us all of why Sami is one of the all-time best characters in the history of soaps as played in Alison’s capable hands.

And as first reported by Soap Opera Digest, (in their latest issue on newsstands now) things take another turn this week when Sami is kidnapped, which will help facilitate Sweeney’s exit from the canvas for now as well.

So, what did you think of the showdown scenes between EJ and Sami? Comment below.

Great scenes and performances for both Alison and Daniel. I really like Daniel as EJ. He was on fire in this episode and Allison was brilliant.
On Soap Opera Central, yesterday, I read that Alison is leaving DAYS. I thought she signed on for a full-year, I can’t imagine that has passed already? I don’t understand now, I thought the Summer Promo were promoting LUMI as a couple?… Is this a short break for Alison? Or, is she properly exiting the role, again? If she is exciting… why bring back EJ? Ugh, just when I was loving all the EJ and Sami scenes, she’s leaving? And, does Kristen kidnap Sami… again? Kidnapping is getting tiresome. I was really excited for A LOT more Sami and EJ scenes, the good, the bad, the ugly. I’m sad to hear Alison is leaving.

I’m liking the new EJ too. I was prepared not to because James Scott was magnificent, but this one is great. Loving the dimples!

I’m liking him , too! As a matter of fact , I love him!

It’s hard to take this seriously as it keeps coming around and around.

OMG, sure we’ll see her run away again, as is her usual M.O. Maybe Kristin will come back and load her up in a trunk and ship her off to the island where she’s been keeping all the other abductees. Aloha, Sammy.

It was fantastic! Such a great way to come back after the break. I’m here for it all!! The line to Rafe was icing on the cake!

Sami, Sami, Sami–Oh, me, oh, my—-you are dealing with the ferocious, hypocritical DiMeras. “Do as I say and not as I do”….So reminiscent of a certain body of Orwellian governing, so imminently close.
Karma, Sami—-Karma, Nicole—keep your legs crossed.

It was ok. I think he could’ve forgave her since hes no saint.she brought him back to good health and his treatment of her was cold. Had he appreciated all her care for him she wouldn’t have turned to an ex. As for nicole like shes no saint either but its also Eric’s fault for leaving his new bride home.the writer could’ve gotten another Eric since the other left.these days they arrnt allowing couples to actually make it.Their all keeping secrets having affairs get taken or are presumed dead man losing memory.

In this situation, especially with Nicole and Sami, it’s a case of the pot calling the kettle black, and no amount of cleaning will work on these two.

Sammi’s one of my favorites because most of the time , she stands strong regardless of the consequences.

As I change the topic: Lani is a hypocrite ; she can’t forgive her aunt her pass deeds ; however , she can forgive Kristen. However , I shouldn’t be surprised because these Soaps as other shows we watch and movies that we see reflect what these producers and writers have experienced in life. Fiction imitates life : not the other way around!

Boop,
Right you are. I often wondered how she could just overlook her crimes, especially being a cop and then turn around and treat her like she was Mother Teresa.

As if EJ wasnt fooling around for all those years.I myself dont like him.I liked the old EJ better.

That Gabi is a piece of work, certainly with no class the way she looks and acts. She just takes Sami’s necklace without giving a damn who it might belong to. Certainly someone will recognize it as belonging to Sami, maybe even EJ himself.
Speaking of piece of work! Nicole acting all pathetic, crying all over Rafe, while her daughter tends to herself in another room. Oh, how I wish Daniel was still alive to take this poor kid and give her a loving home.

Never could get into the old EJ and Sammie due to the rape origins. EJ and Sammie 2.0 seem to be a more natural fit to me. While Sammie is away I can’t wait to see Abigail return and reside in the DiMera mansion with EJ and Chad and all that history.
Also would like for EJ to meet Gwen. She has chemistry with every man she meets and boy would she give Sammie a run for her money if EJ and Gwen hooked up. Can we say who killed Gwen Devereux.

Days of our Lives Star, Greg Vaughan, Gives Health Update and Thanks Everyone for Their Support

Greg Vaughan (Eric, Days of our Lives, ex-Lucky, GH, and ex-Diego, Y&R) provided an update on his health on Sunday, March 17th. Vaughan had previously shared that he had become ill during a trip with his sons to Colorado, and had developed altitude sickness when he was having trouble breathing accompanied by terrible headaches and landed in the urgent care.

Now on St. Patrick’s Day, Greg took to his Instagram and shared how he is feeling now, and to thank everyone for their love and support.  As it turned out, Vaughan was diagnosed with high altitude pulmonary edema, commonly known as HAPE. However, he is on the mend slowly and surely.

In his new video post, the DAYS favorite started by expressing, “I just felt such an appreciation and gratitude for everything. . reaching out. Your prayers have been felt. It’s been a struggle, but I’m over the top. And, taking this moment just to say I didn’t realize the things that I was going through. My (original) post was simply just to educate, put some information out there and some things that I was feeling, just share that information and the struggle that I was going through, which I didn’t quite understand. And it wasn’t because I’m stubborn or just because I’m a father, a man, and didn’t want to go to a doctor. It is just something I thought was so minor that I could overcome it, just by taking care of myself.”

The Daytime Emmy winner then revealed his actual diagnosis, “So, basically my situation was high altitude pulmonary edema (HAPE). With some good friends, doctors that had reached out to me, it kind of gave me some understanding on the aftermath, which was very, very beneficial.”

“But I’ve been resting, taking care of myself even though I live in a hamster wheel,” said the dad of three teenaged boys. “I gotta get up and, you know, do my normal domesticated stuff, eventually. I’m tired of laying down in this bed, but, I am feeling much better.”

Talking on his confusion of trying to understand what could have been ailing him, Vaughan expressed, “I couldn’t quite figure it out, even though I was emphasizing and professing to my children going on our spring break getaway about hydration. I professed it. But, even though I was acting on it, it had a greater effect on me, and for which I did not even think, because my head was such in pain, and I was in a very bad state of mind – not being able to be out there with my kids on the mountain, enjoying their time, as well. I thought I was doing the right thing. Unfortunately, my lungs were full of fluids and my head was in severe pain and even migraine pills didn’t even help. So, I just want anybody that goes into the Colorado Mountains to know, it is no joke. It is this very serious thing which I guess is why they call it the Mile High City.”

Greg had a mountain of ‘thank you’s’ to give for the outreach he received from his original post, “For everybody internationally, wherever you are, I love you and I appreciate you and just the time and the thoughts that you’ve shared with me,” said Vaughan. “I didn’t realize that it would make such an impression on so many people around the world. I feel tremendously loved and I can’t say it enough. I’m good. And I appreciate you.”

The actor concluded his video with, “To all the family and friends that have reached out to me, man, it means the world. So take care of yourself, enjoy your spring break with your families. It’s Saint Patty’s Day, obviously. I wish I could be out there.” Vaughan added, “I feel loved and touched and I can’t emphasize that enough. I’ll take better care of myself, promise you will do the same.” Before he signed off, Greg shared, “Just know, that I’m alive and well and breathing, and I’m sore. So, be well, take care. I mean it. Thank you, tremendously.”

Glad to know that Greg has been on the mend, and shared his appreciation for everyone that reached out to him during this trying time? Comment below.

Days of our Lives Star Greg Vaughan Shares Sudden Health Scare: “I Truly Feel Like I Work & Live in a Soap Opera!”

What started out as an adventure with his sons, quickly turned into a nightmare for Days of our Lives Daytime Emmy winner, Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady).

In a series of Instagram posts, Vaughan shared the sudden health crisis he found himself in.  The images show Greg with an oxygen tank to help him breathe.

The actor began to fill people, sharing, “I’ve said more than a few times, I truly feel like I work & live in a Soap Opera! 🤪 this trip was nothing short of another great Vaughan adventure!”

He went on to say that on a father and son Colorado spring break trip, he began to feel shortness of breath, feeling tired and with a headache and after two days of hoping he would feel better, Vaughan finally went to an Urgent Care to get checked out.

“I finally surrendered & went to urgent care and to my shock I learned that I was experiencing severe altitude sickness.” Vaughan admitted. “My Blood Oxygen was at 54% & my lungs were full of fluids! Blood oxygen, also known as oxygen saturation, represents the percentage of hemoglobin in your red blood cells that is carrying oxygen. Most people have an oxygen level of 95-100%….”

Providing more detail to his health scare, Greg shared, “Well, 4hrs later, a couple of bags of IV & oxygen tank strapped to my face, I was told that I needed to immediately get off the mountain! However I couldn’t, we still had another day to go & wanting the boys to enjoy their last day on the hill tops! I opted to go home with an oxygen tank, a good laugh for everyone, and I know will follow, but my boys looked after their old man & fortunately they had friends on this trip!”

The experience of altitude sickness in the Colorado Rockies gave Vaughan a bit of a new perspective, “In all seriousness, no matter your age, and all the times I’ve ⛷️ & 🏂 in my lifetime, Colorado Rockies is no joke! As they say, ‘ take a breathe and smell the roses!’ That is truly something we need to remember & appreciate! #recover”

Share your well-wishes to Greg as he continues to be on the mend via the comment section below.
