Sami, you are the granddaughter of a FISHERMAN!

On today's show, Brandon Rafe took Sami to the "bad part" of Salem where he grew up, even though his sister Nicole Adriana doesn't want him dating Sami and playing daddy to her kids. Being that Brandon Rafe is all working class and tough, whereas Sami was sheltered and not at all blue collar, he knows about fishing and she does not.

Sami has never heard of a fish jumping out of the water!

Sami is surprised that a fish makes noise when it jumps!

Sami is an idiot who can't walk near the river without falling in, and needs rescuing!

I know soap fans are notorious for grabbing onto little details and complaining years later when the show contradicts them, but to me this was a pretty serious mistake. I'm willing to accept that the show won't always remember whether Sami likes curry or eggnog. But it ought to remember that her grandfather was a fisherman, she grew up running in and out of her grandparents' fish market, and her family spent most of the 80s and early 90s bonding through fishing.

Even if fishing isn't Sami's thing and she hasn't been since she was a young teen, she at least should not be shocked when Brandon Rafe tells her that fish jump.

Grumble.
Do you remember what she told him? She took her lover’s hand, and she said, “just because something is intangible doesn't mean that it's not real.” Lucas, no matter what happens, no matter what we’ve been through, no matter what I say, you will always be in my heart. -- Sami Brady, November 2007

Ok, you need a reality check. This is DAYS. It's being written by someone who has forgotten all characters and history and is only writing plot driven stories.

DO YOU REALLY EXPECT THEM TO REMEMBER HISTORY????

Um, yes, I do expect them to remember. It's their job.

And last week when Will and Chloe were talking, there was very good use of Chloe's history... so good it almost made me like her for a second. They CAN use history. And they should.

OK, let me correct what I said.

When the writers are trying to pimp a couple with no chemistry and no history, they make the woman a helpless twit or else it wouldn't work. They did it with Sami and her rapist and now they are doing it with her and Rafe. She only has a brain when she's with the person she belongs with and has chemistry with--Lucas. With him, there is no need to make things up or delete history.

Brady family history? Surely the show would never mess with that! I mean, it's not as if Shawn was supposed to have a brother named Eric and a sister who became the mother of Colin Murphy, who were both erased in favor of a trampy nun, is it? It's not as if John was mistaken for Shawn's son, and so there should be a bit more age difference than ten-twelve years, right? It's not as if Shawn's mother supposedly knitted him woolen rings when he told her he wanted to propose to Caroline, but then his mother was supposed to have died when he was a child.

I'd just look at this as Sami pretending not to know anything about fish, so Rafe could play knight in shining armor. You know, the way she'd always play helpless around Austin and Brandon.
At my favorite site, Second Chances
We celebrate all Lumi's glances
Whether longing and sweet
Or of passion and heat
It's the greatest of all romances!

I TRIED to look at it as Sami pretending not to know. At least that would have shown a little initiative. But I felt like the way the scene was played left no room for that interpretation, no matter how much I wanted to use it.

LOL. She said what? I must have missed it since I usually FF through Brandon Rafe right along with my FFing of Chloe or the rapist. Will and Mia were cute that day though. Love what he told that Kenzie girl when she said she was "like 95% sure". Go Will! Anyway, back on topic. Sami J doesn't know anything about fishing b/c she's the defective clone tptb use in place of Sami G when they need to pimp stories and pairings that offend or bore viewers. It's also why Chloe is made to look like the victim in her affair with Dr. McSleazy, and why normally intelligent characters lose every single brain cell they had. Newsflash Days: If you have to delete history, make up some contrived backstory that doesn't fit, and force a character down our throats with nauseatingly excessive airtime *cough* Elvis, Chloe, Rafe Brandon *cough* then IT'S NOT WORKING.

You know, if she's just playing dumb, that proves that Rafe is not the one for her. She can't be real around him. Let's see her try to get away with something like that with Lucas.
