I must have a great sense of humor because I loved the episode!!!

I wish I could be fooled more often. I laughed so hard!

Maybe EJ knows Abby is pregnant. We now know he, at the very least, suspects she is pregnant.

Great writing and performances all around!!!

The actors (Ali and James) were absolutely beyond compare. They killed every second of that material. If that wasn’t emmy (even oscar) worthy performances then I give up on the entire process voting process. AS and JS were superb. Unfortunately it was all for nothing (plot wise) which drives me crazy. This was such an incredible episode devoted to this situation and characters and I can’t believe the writers wasted the momentum by having it be fake. The actors deserve every praise I can think of, as did the writer of the first half and the person who wrote the… Read more »

Yes, I was duped …..until Abbi fell from the stairs’ landing….happy? Lol

I might not like it’s a DREAM,but at least I get to see some of EJ POV which has been missing. Jamison rock their scenes.So proud to be their fan and EJ/Sami 🙂

Loved it! Great acting!

On the other hand – how amazing was it to have an Ejami episode. I could watch an hour of just them everyday easily.

As I said in another section, not a fan of this type of stunt writing– it ruins the powerful scenes because they were not real, but also ruins the true reveal because whatever they could come up with I will no longer care. The reveal has now lost the emotional impact it would of had for me, since I was invested in these scenes until they proved faked. Not sure of their motivation, but I was ticked off by it—- as I said before the only good thing to come of it is they have a great Emmy reel for… Read more »

I am used to these fantasy scenes on days and it got a little like watching SoapDish when Marlena walked in and said ” how could you!!!'” Lol I am sad Sami is leaving I wish she would re think that.

Still nothing can make not love Days simply the best soap on tv.

I wanted it to be real. And it’s not fair that we got to see Abigail get pushed off the stairs and know it was only a fantasy. If she would only take the plunge in real life, AND end up landing on Jennifer, making one BIG SPLAT, it would be perfection.

How will the show top this fantasy when the real reveal happens?

Yep! They got me good. That’s hard to do after more than 30 years watching soaps. Damn it was good!

After 2 years of trying to get used to Y&R, I started watching Days a few weeks ago and have been so very impressed. While I don’t understand the story lines or know the characters, the production is absolutely first rate. I’ve noticed the producers are not afraid to spend money on sets and props and extras. All the scenes seem so very rich and full of life. Today was no exception. The actors playing EJ and Sami were just super. When they showed us it was EJ’s imagination, I gave them a rousing round of applause. I think I’m… Read more »

I fear the writers have backed themselves into a corner – how can the true reveal possibly top that?

Didn’t like it at all, felt like it was a waste of an episode – to me, it’s an example of what is wrong with soaps today, and that is the lack of a big pay off for a long story arc. So we watch yesterday, and go through all of the emotions of the big pay off and I was enthralled until the big letdown, and realized that it was all for nothing. So now when the reveal actually does happen (probably as Sami eluded to, at her wedding), it will be lessened by this fake reveal. These cheap… Read more »

I was duped. I thought something was off in how the show was shot and Marlena’s acting was OTT.

Ali and James were fantastic. So for the great acting and the fact that I’m glad Abby isn’t really pregnant, I don’t mind being duped.

So loved this and as a complete Ejami fan I was so happy that in the end it was just EJ imagining what would happen. Allison Was amazing and I was practically yelling at the screen by the time Abigail fell off those stairs. WOW….

It was a great episode. Terrific writing and great acting. Hats off to Ali and James.

By the time the scenes were moved to the Horton House, the lighting looked a little “off,” similar to what is used during dream sequences, which I then thought maybe this is a dream? I really wish it wasn’t a dream. I thought it was a great twist to have EJ show up at the Horton House and discover Abigail was in-fact pregnant. The staircase scene was a little over the top. Other than that, I watched the episode twice. I noticed how Sami mentioned Abigail being “skinny.” I think all of the actors knocked it out of the park!… Read more »

I don’t watch Days but I recorded the episode just to see the performances and was not disappointed – they were phenomenal! However, after the reveal that it was all in EJ’s mind, I wondered how I would feel if I was a regular watcher. For me, it didn’t matter, all I was looking for was to watch two fantastic actors kill it, and they did!

I’m not trying to sound like Mr. Know-it-all, but I suspected very quickly that it was an Imaginary Scene – and when EJ confronted Abigail and she dropped her purse, I knew by then it was a daydream/Imaginary grouping of scenes – because why would everyone suddenly be at Jennifer’s house all at the same time –
However, it was incredibly well-executed and extremely well acted all the way around. It was nice to see an episode where Nicole wasn’t shown in endless flashbacks shredding those stupid papers.

I have never been much of a Sami fan…and that was mostly due to the fact that Jim Reilly wrote her as a one note psychopathic bitch for so long with no redeeming qualities. But this episode wa s so layered and raw and real. It sort of brought Sami full circle…so many issues were addressed…her long forgotten body image issues…her getting older…her mistrust after being raped…little girl lost Sami contrasted with lioness Sami. She ran the gamut of emotions. Now that the show has set the bar so high with this episode and it was a fake out, they… Read more »

I was not a fan of the episode. Or, maybe I should say, I was not a fan of the “fantasy” aspect. Sometimes revelations in a fantasy sequence are great (for example, before Julie Berman left General Hospital, they had Maxie envision her finding out about her baby), but only in short segments and if it differentiates from the actual reveal. I don’t see how the actual reveal will compare to this one. Finding out Abigail really is pregnant, throwing in Marlena and Jennifer, that was great action. I feel like it was wasted material. I also did not like… Read more »

having read the spoilers prior to watching still didn’t dim my viewing…. Alison Sweeney… knocked my out and over…. 3 times… I was spilling my dam for her and with her 1st… was when she was picking up her wedding announcements from the floor 2nd… was when Sammi and EJ were on the floor… wrestling… intertwined… and they were still fighting… bereft and honest… she tells him… “I Love You” 3rd… was when she was telling Marlena… I am complete… EJ is everything with her kids I think it was DOOL way of acknowledging this Epic supercouple… and they are…… Read more »

HATED IT! I’m tired of things never happening in Salem — too many daydreams, not enough real action. While I thought the acting was phenomenal, it was a waste of time.

On a side note, they really need to stop filming so far in advance so they can actually alter stories or plans based on fan feedback.

It was obvious from the word go that it was a dream/fantasy. First of all, if that were going to happen, Sami would’ve seen the picture at the end of Friday’s episode, secondly it was moving waaaaaaaay too quickly for DOOL, it was like a mont’s worth of story in a day. I must admit about 15 minutes in I was starting to wonder as the fantasy seemed to have been going on for a long time, but when all that happened with Abigail I knew there’s no way that much would happen in one episode. It was a lot… Read more »

I thought it was horrible. The acting was way over the top imo.

Originally, I did not want Sami to find out of the betrayal. The story was a plot driven device and so contrary to where the characters had grown and developed over an 8 year period. Then, I was ready to see the reveal since it was publicized as it was coming. So, I was not sure what to think at first viewing of April 21 epi. Ali and James gave iit their all. Melissa Salmons wrote an excellent script. But the Horton House scenes were too campy. OTT. None of those 4 actors are superb comic camp actors. That part… Read more »

Now, I realize that I had hoped that April 21st would have been the end of the deception and betrayal that has turned my stomach since this last story began. I am a third generation vviewer – watching over 40 + years. I have loved the Ejami love story bc of the chemistry and charisma Ali and James have brought to it through good writing regimes and bad. I have treasured other love stories over 40 years. Loved Bope, Loved Mickey and Maggie and Red Shoes, Julie and Doug…loved to hate Stefano.. Many great memories. EJ and Sami represent to… Read more »

EJAMI- You are very much loved by me and I was so relieved that is wasn’t real. Except for Abigail getting pushed off the staircase-that would have been nice. (Abigail-leave Ejami alone). Meanwhile, the performances from Allison and James left me speechless. I don’t believe I blinked throughout the ordeal. It was very apparent how much EJ and Sami are in love. EJ loves Sami, you can feel his regret through the screen. Abigail is a writing mistake. Can’t we throw her in the river with Nick? Please stay on Days Allison. Australia just got you back and now we… Read more »

The Moment Marlena came in you knewfor sure it was a dream cause once again the other acting from deidre Hall it was so silly she didn’t get a good look at the photo and she knew it was Abigail.
