It’s a big week for Days of our Lives and look for the action to really bring the dramatic tension as everyone in Salem (well, those who wanted to show up) gather for EJ (James Scott) and Sami’s (Alison Sweeney) engagement party!  And as with anything relating to marriage or engagement with Sami Brady, something usually goes awry and it looks like this time will be no different!

Now, Marge Benardi (Elizabeth Roberts) is gunning for EJami during their engagement party and a shot is fired, but will it hit the intended targets? Looks like Marge has become unhinged, and is not willing to let the outcome of Sami’s trial go!

Watch this week’s promo for Days of our Lives from NBC  after the jump!  Then, let us know what you think will go down at EJ and Sami’s party gone south?

I know I may receive some backlash on this; but, as much as I love EJ Dimera and the actor who plays him, I just don’t see the chemistry between EJ and Sami. I always love the scenes between EJ and Nicole as sparring exes, or EJ and Kristen as Dimera siblings. I just think that Sami is far too immature for EJ. Don’t even get me started on Marge Bernardi or her son Timmy. Ugh. The real reason I watch the show is for Eileen Davidson. I love Kristen and Brady. Loved their pre-Cana scenes. Eileen is the reason I tuned back into Days. I’ll be sad when she leaves.

You are not alone. I don’t see the chemistry either.

To be honest I don’t really “get” Sami and EJ either. He raped her and that had fans inan uproar. I guess because girls and gay guys think he is sexy and swoon worthy rape ceases to matter. Poor Sami has been raped so much. She may as well have ben a Passions character. First was Alan then EJ then that Faux Rafe. I was never a fan of Sami because she was written as such a one note psychopath under Jim Reilly. I liked he with Brandon and with Lucas. Her and EJ are okay…but I long for the days of supercouples where you couldn’t wait for them to be together because they were the GOOD GUYS. Shane and Kim…Bo and Hope…Marlena and interchangeable John or Roman. Those were the days.

Oh my, thank you for your post. I totally agree. I’m afraid to say anything because there’s such a fan base there, but I don’t like them together either and I don’t “get” the attraction for each other and the attraction from the fans either. Actually, they’re both insidious people pretending to be righteous. Rafe seemed to mature Sami, but EJ and Sami just enable each other’s despicable behavior. Margie gets on my last nerve, too, because she’s so one dimensional and contrived as a character, but I’m all for anyone taking Sami and EJ out. If not, I hope Stefano continues to make them stay in his house and make their lives heck. Other than those two and a few others, I really enjoy the show’s canvas and stories right now. My favorite characters are Marlena, Maggie, Victor, Hope, Kristen, Nicole, Eric and some others. I’m also loving how the bad seed JJ is torturing uptight “Jenny and Danny”, with some help from mischievous Theresa and Ann; and I howl at crotchety Victor’s one-liners. Anyway, I’m happy that DAYS is enjoying this renaissance.

There is LOTS of chem between EJ and Sami. I love them together. About time!

To each their own, I just don’t see the chemistry. I really do love EJ Dimera. The actor really does deserve an Emmy. His scenes with Stefano, making “amends” in order to free Sami were top notch. I adore Eileen Davidson as Kristen. Also, I have really enjoyed Nicole, lately. Both Kristen and Nicole seem to have chemistry with most of the actors on the show. I guess I just find Sami to be very immature. Maybe it’s the character, maybe it’s the actress. Not sure. I am just not a fan. I also love Marlena and Victor working together. I also think that the actor who plays JJ is very talented.

DAYS is better than I thought it would be. (I started watching after losing ATWT and OLTL.) As much as I like the storyline, characters, and actors.. I cannot help but think this plot would have more punch had Marge Benardi had some sort of presence in Salem for some time. Not only would we be surprised more at the story’s development, we would have discovered mixed feelings about right and wrong, how we view Marge, how her husband’s actions and hers now harm her family, how they threaten EJ and Sami and likely someone who is caught in the crossfire.

Is there longrange planning on the soaps anymore to allow for these more layered twists and turns?

It wouldve been more effective had the Bernardi family been part of the show months befoe Joe was killed…maybe Timmy went to school with Hopes daughter Ceara, Marge was Annes sister(give both actors more story connection. Annes constantly involved in Jens story is getting old fast…Anne as Marges sister wouldve gave her more to do and refreshen her character as she vows to destroy Ejami) and Joe couldve been good friends with Abe…connecting temp characters with the vets couldve led to more story possibilties for many more months to come…once Marge is off canvas none of us will barely remember this family two years from now, and we wont even care.

Sometimes it is not necessary to have temporary characters be connected to the main characters. If they had done it your way, there would have been a lot of screen time invested in connecting them to vets, just to blow them away later it doesn’t make sense. Also people would have been complaining the air time were going to these newbies and in the end Joe would still be dead, and Marge would go off the deep end, it would have been a waste of time to give them a background to the main characters first. They did enough by connecting Joe to Rafe and Hope as a fellow cop and having Adrienne be aquaintances with Marge.

Last year they had that guy Sean who Gabi hired to be her stalker who ended up being the catlyst behind that whole explosion storyline, he wasn’t connected to anyone, but his impact on Salem was huge with Madison and Jack dying. Likewise this whole Bernardi family will leave their mark on Salem and they caused drama to the screen ( EJ surrendering to Stefano to save his lady love priceless) So I really don’t want to care about them or see them buddy buddy with anyone; they there to serve a purpose and when it is over it is over. And I will still care a year from now especially if Marge ends up killing Cameron or Chad

I agree…but unfortunately all we knew of him was that he would slice off another dude’s penis for money. Hen he got a hero’s funerL with 7 people in attendance. Hen we have seen Marge cry and go into hysterics for months on end. I do feel sorry for oft-mentioned Timmy. That child is gonna need some major therapy.

They took the words right out of my mouth– of course it wouldn’t be an engagement party for anyone in Salem without something like this happening. I swear if I lived there– I would have all wedding related functions out of town. LOL. Can’t wait to find out what happens next.

I still feel the Bernardi family shouldve been more invovled with other characters…Seans involvement in the explosion storyline involved several characters…I wanted more for the Bernardis…i wouldve wanted Marge and Anne to be related to give the latter more story connection other than helping someone plot against Jen…

Well if they wanted a really dramatic story– they should have had Roman as the so call dirty cop and had Sami shooting her own father. Roman doesn’t have any real story anymore so I would have been fine if they had him under Stefano’s control. Of course Stefano would have made it look like Sami’s bullet killed him, and she would have been destroyed by grief– but in reality Stefano had Roman alive all this time, he comes in at this party, brainwashed to kill a Brady, but at the last minute aims the gun at Stefano, but Chad jumps in front of him and bites the big one. That would have been classic Days— but alas they didn’t go that way– but I do agree on one point if they are keeping Anne around they should give her more of a background.

I like that idea, Mary! That wouldve been better than my idea…using Roman instead…then maybe, feeling bad for killing Chad(had to rhyme it), he couldve sought psychiatric treatment from Marlena, and the two could rekindle old feelings for each other.(wouldve been better if Wayne Nortrope? still in the role…i still see Josh Taylor as Chris)(but i would be ok with Josh as Roman) Since it doesnt look like John and Marlena will be together anytime soon id prefer them to divorce and Marlena move on…and maybe with Roman.

This woman is very annoying… her hubby was a dirty cop. I don’t believe she was totally oblivious to his doings. She needs to take the hundred grand in her son’s acct and get out of town!

She is annoying isn’t she?
Enough is enough with her.

Not sure when they are supposed to finish airing but this could be the way they get rid of either Chad or Cameron (though why Cameron would be there I don’t know). I think this could be Chad’s exit. Unless they do a ho-hum and have Stefano’s under-5 girlfriend bite the bullet.

I was hoping Stefano’s girlfriend would turn out to be the sister of
the special prosecutor. I think Chad will be the shooting victom.

Can’t wait. But I hope EJami are okay!!!!

I think Marge should be going after her husband’s mistress! Or Stefano.

They should have had Will get shot in the face, recieve reconstructive surgery and when the bandages are remove Guy Wilson is revealed in the role…depending if the shooting was filmed after Guy was hired…sometimes these types of stories help some viewers accept new actors who take over certain roles…just saying…

Shot in the face?? You’re kinda morbid pal. He is blonde and young and playing gay. People will love him no matter what. People have to love anyone playing gay or else they risk sounding homophobic.

I didnt mean to come off that way…i have gay relatives, and have nothing against the lifestyle so i do take some offense that your reply implies just the opposite…gay character or otherwise it was just a suggestion…i have no problems with Guy taking over the role but ive read others who do…

jimh is right. That would help some viewers accept the change.
The sexuality should not be a factor!

First of all, Johnny, speaking as a “gay guy” (btw, jimh, I didn’t realize that I had a “lifestyle”, but if you say so…), I don’t “swoon” over EJ or EJami, but I’m sure that your offensive generalizations aren’t meant to apply to me personally. You know, poor good-hearted, misunderstood souls can sometimes SOUND homophobic because they are homophobic.

Marge is intense and has a few issues that need to be resolved. Does this remind anyone of that stella nutcase who held Marlena hostage in 1992? LOL. They need to stop making Marge a weeping victim and make her a full blown whack job. That’s more fun. We don’t care about her or her penis razing hubby anyway.

Lol. Pistol packin Marge. If I had my way she would take out Rafe, Gabi, Sonny, and Will. Dead weight. Question…has it ever been explained why Anne hates Jennifer so much? I find it strangely entertaining. I have worked with many needlessly hostile nasty people like Anne. I am a nice person like Jenn. I am just wondering if there is a deeper reason or Anne is just a bitter…older…non-blonde…non-Horton etc. She looks like Barb Streisand.

Anne thinks Jen is like this princess because she’s a Horton, Tom’s granddaugther. She sees Jen as this entitled person and probably thinks she has had everything handed to her. Granted, Jen does take long lunches and is often away from work.

I’m glad Anne didn’t leave when Chloe did.

Anne is definitely that character.. that flies under the radar… ala… she’s not Jennifer Horton… Deavearux

spitfire Anne is character driven… and… She’s a Hoot

she enlivens Salem… with her blue collar… this close to trailer park

I love her screen time… and she deserves her own story.

I JUST LOVE, that Theresa and Anne are mixed in… the show

Anne was hillarious… when she mentored Theresa

“Spread your wings’ grasshopper”

LOL

how funny – is this going to be

I love Jeanne Theresa Donovan and “Anne”

btw….

someone mentioned…that she looks like Barbara Streisand

it’s true…

love her

Anne wanted Jennifer’s job.

Marge is annoying. And a complete hypocrite. Please, destroy her.

I hope that they put Marge Bernardi behind bars for what she did she is unstable.

EJAMI are WONDERFUL together with a HUGE fan base. I wish the shooting did not have to happen at their engagement party. We fans have waited so long for them to finally be together. Bad timing on this one!

God do I LOVE all the screen time and amazing writing that Ejami has been getting this year. I’ve been a fan since the day James Scott walked on screen. I LOVE THESE TWO TOGETHER. They just make the entire canvas more enjoyable to watch.

But I have to say… who the heck are all those strangers there?!

I M SO HAPPY TO SEE ON THIS NICE BLOG FOR SOAPS, AGREEING THAT EJ TALL, extreme-tall handsome suit sexy wearing self do not at all look great,with sami,at all NOPE.

SAMI DO NOT LOOK RIGHT WITH EJ,

Love, love, love days bot Chad is going to die. Curious to see the outcome of Cameron and abigail after this tragedy. And stephanos reaction knowing that he caused this fiasco.

Can I ask what people are smoking when they say Ejami have no chemistry?

They a lot more than Safe or Lumi I tell you that and that joke of a couple Ecole why would you want EJ with a woman he never loved he loved Sami from day one they look beautiful together and as for Marge they will deal with her she won’t ruin Ejami happiness.

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.

Photo: GVaughanIG

“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!”

Photo: JPI

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.
