Soaps are at their best when they focus on the relationships, and that is what every show seems to be doing right now. On “Days,” Carrie thinks she knows what is best by moving forward with Rafe, but may be railroaded before she gets a chance. Meanwhile, Will’s connection to his parents is being tested as he comes out and Lexi tries to spend as much time with her loved ones before she dies. In Port Charles, Maxie and Matt’s bond is being put to the test, while Todd tries to forge a stronger bond with his daughter. Johnny works to make amends with Carly and Jason and Sam remain at a distance. On “B&B,” Thomas proved he was the kind of man Caroline could get serious about while Hope and Steffy still hold out hope for a future with Liam. And on “Y&R,” tension continues to build and bonds are broken as everyone seems to be caught up in an emotional whirlwind. So let’s get down to it and see where we stood last week.
Deconstructing Days:
After watching Carrie and Rafe’s hot and heavy makeout sesh, Austin is going to have to do a little better than a scrapbook if he wants to save his marriage. It will help once she is back with him and dealing with a possible pregnancy. But that was minor compared to the biggest thing to happen in Salem last week, Will’s reveal to his parents Lucas and Sami that he is gay. And, of course, Sami reacted as childishly as we thought she would. Christine says, “Sami (say it with me) screwed up again and it was EJ who was the voice of reason. Sami’s never been very pragmatic and thankfully, EJ seems to be everywhere she is these days, when she needs an ear. Can you see where this relationship seems to be slowly headed? Just putting it out there. I digress. Sami was overwhelmed by the news of Will shooting EJ, Lucas going to jail, EJ blackmailing Will, and then finally she heard her son’s gay. I’d have been happy to have some good news after all the shooting and blackmail news but Sami made it all about her.” Read more at Days Of Our Lives Weekly Blog.
