Never Stop

I’m not a crier.

And I’ll be honest, I don’t usually cry about EJami. I feel huge swells of emotion in my chest, either a crazy endorphin rush in the loving and sexy times or a tightening stress during the less loving and sexy times. But tears – not really.

Well, I was just in Atlanta this past weekend at the DCE  fundraiser, where James Scott (EJ DiMera) attended. He was in a pretty great mood, and the question he probably asked EJami fans more than anything else was, “are you enjoying the story line?” Naturally, these fans (old timers and newbies alike) were more than happy to share their joy about it.

These events always have a way to motivating the base, and this one was no exception. Friends, old and new, talked to me about how they were really going to make an effort to show TPTB just how much they love what they’re seeing and I agreed. While it’s been good to just sit back, relax, and enjoy this (because we certainly earned it), I refuse to take it for granted.

Last night I was cruising around YouTube checking out the latest EJami montages and I stumbled across a few that struck me so deeply. And as I watched one, by one of my favorite vidders LunaStar1406, and I was reminded of EJ’s undying love for Sami and the fulfillment he now feels, I….. cried. (Okay, maybe just a tear or two, but seriously, there was moisture in my eyes). He We finally got what we’ve wanted for so long.

It was a cathartic moment, and I realized that the song she used, “Never Stop,” and the lyrics like “I will never stop choosing you” and “You still get my heart racing,” sort of took on new meaning. I could relate.

So in the end, life happens and you can’t always make time to share your love with TPTB, but don’t let it slip away. Don’t take it for granted. Love it, enjoy it, post about it, celebrate it, and cry about it every now and again.

“Even when I said I didn’t love you, I loved you” – EJami’s engagement scenes

That one line kinda says it all, doesn’t it? For them and I don’t know about you, but it certainly sums it up for me.

It took a while to come down off the high that was seeing EJ and Sami FINALLY get engaged in the truest, loveliest way possible for them. Like this post, there could have been the temptation to come up with huge fireworks, explosion, or some grand wvwnt, but in the end, it was simply all about their love for each other.  And that’s all we really needed.

10 Days That Changed Everything: Where Do We Go From Here?

Posted on by

In this five part series, the Rogues dig deep into some of the recent EJami episodes of Days of Our Lives. In the span of ten days, everything about the EJ and Sami story changed.

Part 5: Where Do We Go From Here?

By, The Point Man

Let me preface this by saying Sami and EJ have been my “ship” for the past 6 ½ years. I had never experienced this level of interest in a fictional couple before, and I doubt I ever will again. The past few weeks have reduced me to giggles and smiles, so happy with my OTP I can barely string a coherent thought together. Hence the difficulty in posting.

I mean, what do you say when everything you’ve ever wanted to see happen for your favorite characters actually happens? There is no analysis, no need to view a scene with an eye towards subtext and trying to understand the writers’ intent (and let’s face it, on the really bad days, some serious fanwanking). EJami is right there for all the world to see. Sami LOVES EJ, EJ LOVES Sami and man, has it been wonderful.

Perhaps it has been made all the sweeter because it because it’s been such a long, rough road….though really DAYS, I could’ve done without the last couple of years of angst…..just sayin’ ;)

Anyway, now that we have had Sami accepting her feelings (in the most awesome way possible), EJ and Sami are finally embarking on the next stage of their relationship. A genuine relationship where there is no doubt that they love each other, there is no struggle as they fight their feelings, where we are finally seeing open and loving affection between them on a regular basis.

Wait, I have to take a moment to savor that.

Ok, let’s move on.

So, where do we go from here? I mean, the battle’s done (why yes, Sami really loves EJ and he loves her), and we pretty much won (as much as you ever can on a soap) and we’ve sounded our victory cheer squee. But the story doesn’t end. It never ends on a soap, and we must look to the future.

What will the show do now? EJ and Sami will certainly play their part in Will/Gabi’s baby story, but I do believe that this is a transition phase for EJami, and eventually there will be a story arc that will focus on whatever will be the next obstacle is for EJami. The pleasure in this is that it will be an obstacle they face together. Below are admittedly more questions than answers, but I think that EJ and Sami will have to deal with all of these things….it’s just a matter of when, not if.

The first, the classic story, the one that’s been dying to be told and I think the one with the richest of storyline possibilities, is DiMera and Brady forbidden love allowed to triumph over all. The last attempt at a Brady and DiMera star-crossed love pairing ended tragically, with only Santo and Colleen’s souls meeting in the hereafter. With Sami and EJ’s own tortured history being an obstacle in their quest for their families’ acceptance, will their new love survive the fallout? The Bradys will always equate evil with DiMera, and DiMeras will always find something to hate the Bradys for. Will the feud finally, truly, be over? Or will it simply go on and on, with EJ and Sami and their kids caught in the middle?

Will the Bradys be able to take the sticks out of their asses long enough to see that these two are happy and stop judging them? Will Stefano be able to resist the allure of brain chips and doppelgangers to keep our couple apart? Will Chad and Kristen’s own twisted paths to love cause problems for our duo? Will anymore undiscovered DiMeras (damn Stefano and his plentiful progeny) make their way to Salem?

Speaking of Stefano — with his return to Salem, he will have to contend with the fact that EJ, isn’t his easily controlled, good DiMera soldier anymore. Stefano has manipulated and managed EJ his entire life with his constant withholding of love, affection and approval. However, Stefano caused an immense amount of damage to his relationship with EJ when he disowned him for the crime of not being his blood son, only to find out that it was all a lie. EJ hasn’t had to deal with Steffy face to face for a while now, so what will happen when Stefano isn’t a half a world away?.

How will EJ handle Stefano’s interference in his life? What will he do to their relationship to wrest control of EJ back from Sami? How will he handle it if Stefano possibly involves him (whether deliberately or inadvertently) in a scheme that could hurt Sami or her family? As for prodigal sister Kristen, will she use her brother in her quest for revenge and endanger his relationship with Sami?

These are just some of the questions I have, all of which could lead to juicy story. EJ and Sami as a couple is endless and unchartered territory, they simply have to write it. And if they write it well, the fans will come along for the ride.

We hope you enjoyed this five part series. It was a pleasure for us to write it. And if you didn’t click on the video we embedded up above, you should. It’s our gift to you. This one video has all the scenes we’ve been gushing over. Yeah. In one single place. We’re sorry if you can’t walk away from your computer for a long time. 

10 Days That Changed Everything: The Afterglow

Part 4: The Afterglow

By, The Extractor

Well kiddos, the moment we’ve been anticipating between Sami and EJ ever since May napping ended on a huge fail, I’m talking of course about some sweet post-lovemaking afterglow! They’ve had sex before, they’ve had an emotional connection before, hell they’ve even had half-assed pillow talk before, but anything that resembled the awesomeness of February 5th? Definitely not! This is what so many of us have waited years to see, Sami and EJ in the same bed the morning after, and Sami having no regrets or desire to bolt as soon as humanly possible.

Sami

It was a nice touch to have EJ being the first to wake up and gaze at his Samantha. How could he not? This was his (and our) dream come true and we he wanted to savor all of it. Bonus: Every last detail was clearly visible onscreen due to the glorious amount of sunshine streaming into Sami’s bedroom. Hooray for visibility! I was really looking forward to the cuddling that we would be getting and the murmured words of affection, but in actuality my favorite part was how funny and charming they were in bed together! I was not expecting such humor after an epic night of lovemaking, but it was there and it was there in spades. Take this exchange for instance:

Sami: Good morning (big grin).
EJ: Good morning.
Sami: How long have you been awake?
EJ: A while.
Sami: You were watching me sleep. That’s really creepy (laughs).
EJ: No I just, I just wanted to take a moment to absorb all of your beauty – without you opening your mouth.
Sami: *laughs, smacks EJ on the arm, snorts*

Seriously, is that not the cutest thing ever? They actually feel comfortable enough to joke around and laugh with each other in bed. I have to give EJ props for having the wisdom to propose a deal between them where they decide not to screw this thing between them up. That was very smart considering how many falls from grace we’ve witnessed between these two time and time again. Sami’s brief touched expression said everything. It really felt like that was the last thing she wanted to happen, too. I of course loved her “Deal, deal, deal, deal” *kissing ensues* response. If the word deal ends up being some kind of trigger for them to fall into bed with one another I’m very much in favor of it. You seal the deal as many times as you want to, Mr. DiMera! (by the way, how hot is it that Sami has started to refer to EJ by that name? She’s using the word DiMera to indicate playfulness and sexual arousal for crying out loud!)

Making deals

Besides the humor, something else that made this episode extra special for me was the gratuitous amount of touching that was going on between them: hand holding in bed, Sami rubbing EJ’s chest, Sami touching EJ’s face. I could go on and on, and every handsy moment between them just put a huge grin on my face. It was important for me to see Sami being just as affectionate with EJ as he has been with her since the day they met. She’s been the big holdout all of these years and I really feel like she made up for it big time, commencing with the last few episodes preceding this one, but in this particular episode it really shone through. When she expressed her feelings for him via touch it was both romantic and felt completely natural, like they had been like this all along.

Speaking of which, a certain beautiful, British beau of Sami’s expressed the exact same sentiment; that it felt like they had been together for years now. As natural as their new-found coupling felt, however, the reality of the situation soon dawned on Sami and her previous gung-ho, all in attitude about their reunion became somewhat tempered by the harsh reality of day. Initially I was annoyed that we couldn’t even get one whole day of them putting their worries aside, but honestly I do think it’s a good sign that they feel at ease enough with each other to discuss any fears or worries they may be having instead of keeping those feelings bottled up inside. Sami will always worry about what her family thinks of her. One magical night with EJ isn’t going to change what years of conditioning have instilled in her psyche.

While EJ was hurt by her desire to keep their new status to themselves, when all was said and done he saw the wisdom of keeping everything on the down low, especially when the conversation turned to the unfortunate topic of what EJ’s whack job sister was up to with Sami’s poor, victimized brother. Or at least that’s how Sami sees the situation, and we all know that no amount of reasoning is going to change Sami’s opinion of Kristen and Brady’s relationship. In any case, we’ve gotten a taste of the storm clouds that could be brewing on the horizon for our beloved duo, and it appears those storm clouds represent the never-ending clash between the Brady and the DiMera families. Will Sami and EJ manage to withstand this familial angst and prevail? Only time will tell…. but I’m betting they will!

And now to my absolute favorite part, Sami berating EJ as he groaned and moaned underneath a bed sheet.

Fun

As I re-read that last sentence I’m realizing at once how ridiculous it sounds and yet it totally worked for me. We’re all aware of course that Kristen is playing Brady but EJ doesn’t have a clue. In EJ’s mind Kristen is the reason that he and Sami are together in the first place and now that his beloved Lexie has passed away, Kristen is the one person he can confide in and express his emotions to in regards to Sami. You can bet that EJ will be hurting big time once he realizes how wrong he was about big sis Kristen, but for now he’s blissfully unaware and finding Sami’s attitude a little heavy handed. Sami on the other hand can’t believe that EJ has his head in the sand when it comes to Kristen and her schemes, and she feels no qualms about expressing her feelings on the subject. Not even EJ’s attempt at being reasonable, complete with hilarious gestures underneath the sheet, could convince Sami to let this issue rest. Thank goodness that EJ had the brilliant idea to distract her with his adorableness and managed to kiss his way out of that particular conversation.

ej

By the end of this episode I was simultaneously grinning like an idiot and shedding tears of joy at how far we’ve come to get to this point. If I could give these writers a standing ovation I would, the magic they’ve managed to work in order to make Sami and EJ a viable couple again has been nothing short of miraculous. Here’s to many more scenes of bliss, humor, and the occasional angry fight that results in super hot makeup sex! No schemes or agendas, just two people who finally realized what was right in front of them this whole time. In the words of EJ, “well I can see this time things are going to be totally different.”

Part 3: The Sex

By, The Professor

Let’s discuss the EJami sex, shall we? While I catch my breath, I’ll say that I was a bit concerned if the lovemaking of 2013 would stand up to the lovemaking of 2008, which we adoringly call Napping. First one has to consider that the scenes of 2008 were totally new territory for EJ and Sami. That encounter was sweet, explorative and yes, passionate. But there was one huge difference in that time and what we saw on Monday February 4, 2013. Sami was openly admitting her love and passion for EJ.

Screen shot 2013-02-21 at 10.53.06 AM

A mutual exchange of the physical expression of love which includes two people who are totally invested is a beautiful thing. EJami making love was beautiful. But it was more. Viewers may have wondered why the lighting of the scenes was so dark. I can offer some ideas as to why they were filmed in that way. One is that it was night and the moonlight streaming through the windows where a breeze ruffled the curtains was realistic and very sexy. Two is the idea that this lovemaking was, shall we say, more risque than the 2008 model. It fairly sizzled with the detail of these two adoring one another’s bodies. At times I found myself holding my breath in response. I also almost felt voyeuristic watching such intimacy. Thirdly the concept of low light with a lots of shadowy movement could have been an artistic choice. Who knows? What I do know is that I was entranced, held spellbound by EJ and Sami.

Screen shot 2013-02-21 at 10.53.14 AM

How could a fan of EJami ask for more than the preamble to lovemaking followed by the passionate night and morning that EJ and Sami shared? It was exquisite. There was love, trust, passion and fun. Had I not been already so in love with this pair, this long awaited reconciliation would have hooked me for life. I’m so glad I got a front row seat to the best couple in daytime.

10 Days That Changed Everything: EJ’s Happiness

Part 2: EJ’s Happiness

By, The Architect

The greatest thing for me about Sami’s confession and everything that came after it was how happy EJ appeared. Just like EJami fans, it was like every wish he had was coming true. He was relieved. He was vindicated. He wasn’t crazy after all, and neither were we. The look on his face when she confessed, spoke volumes. His body language was one big metaphorical exhale.

Exhale

When he talked about how long he dreamed of holding each other, I was reminded of every moment he tried to make that happen and failed. I was reminded of the crazy fantasy he had on the pier in 2007 when he would go to such crazy lengths to have her be his. And I thought of when they made love in 2008 and she ran out on him when Lucas returned. The way he threw that pillow across the room. The moment ruined. And when she handed back her wedding ring and he got her to confess how she felt but she ran from him again. It was clear he couldn’t break down her walls. And I thought of when he went to Horton cabin to tell her he was having a baby with Nicole and he waited for her to say something, but she wouldn’t say what her face clearly revealed. Sami was devastated, but she wouldn’t stop him. She wouldn’t make him hers. I was reminded of 2010 and his three proposals and then of course the way he broke down after the failed wedding. I imagined his face as he crumbled onto that bed, realizing there would be no wedding night. And I was reminded of their time in the hideaway in 2012, when a familiar hope sparked. He wanted to have her all night long, but there was another interruption, as always.

It’s no wonder that, much like EJami fans, EJ has been cautious lately. His heart had been torn to shreds too many times. He wasn’t sure if he would ever get her lock, stock, and barrel. But he did. We did. And seeing him happy is one of the greatest rewards.

Now, he can be with her all night long.

He can publicly express his feelings for her, like he did in the pub.

He can steal her away whenever he likes and make her his, like he did against that wall.

She’s not going to run this time and as he finally breaks out of denial about it (us too), you can see the happiness, the gratitude, and the relief. They finally made it.

10 Days That Changed Everything: Sami’s Confession

Posted on by

In this five part series, the Rogues dig deep into some of the recent EJami episodes of Days of Our Lives. In the span of ten days, everything about the EJ and Sami story changed.

Part 1: Sami’s Confession

By, The Shade

Where do I begin? “Sami’s Confession” as we’ll call it, was one of the most gratifying and emotional moments I’ve ever had as an EJami fan. I really didn’t know what to expect when I saw the spoiler about Sami making a confession to EJ. It could have been anything about their relationship. She could have specifically focused on what had been happening with her and Rafe the past few weeks and hope that he would be able to get past it. Or it could be something monumental regarding their relationship. I wasn’t even hoping for the latter but lo and behold that’s what it turned out to be. The writing and acting in these scenes were for me, utterly perfect. From the too-good-to-be-true dialogue from Sami to Ali’s tearful performance as she lays it all on the line to EJ. On the flip side we had EJ coming to Sami’s apartment expecting to be dumped or to be Sami’s back up plan because Rafe told him about their almost-but-not-quite-insta-reunion. James barely had any dialogue with Ali in these scenes but the emotion he conveyed with just his eyes was more than enough.

The episode started with Sami calling EJ on her way to see Gaby. She needed to talk to him and they agreed to meet up later in the day. EJ was still on a bit of a high from their last encounter on Sami’s sofa. He clearly thought their relationship had taken a turn for the better and he was right, except he wasn’t ready to encounter the huge flaming turd that is Rafe Hernandez. Rafe basically told EJ that he was back together with Sami until the huge mess of a wedding for his lame sister. EJ obviously wasn’t aware of this and quizzed Chad about it later. Chad basically confirmed that Sami and Rafe were “together” at the wedding. With this on his mind, EJ heads over to Sami’s apartment not knowing what he was in for with his beloved Samantha.

EJ arrives at Sami’s and I can’t think of the last time I’ve seen EJ so guarded and distant with Sami. EJ had prepared himself for the worst and I think he wasn’t going to let Sami see how badly she had broken his heart once again. EJ sits down and Sami starts to lay it all out for him.

“Um… I guess I should start with last fall… when I told you that I had to stop bouncing back and forth between you and Rafe. Only I didn’t stop. I kept bouncing towards Rafe. And that’s the truth. I kept trying with him. Even up to New Year’s Eve. You took me on this really wonderful, romantic date, and– and I still ended up kissing him at midnight. And after that he asked me if we could try again… and I said yes. And he told me that I had to tell you. And I agreed. But I could never do it. And I said it was ’cause I didn’t want to hurt you and I didn’t want to get all upset before the wedding. Blah, blah, blah, but it just… I think now I was–I was being selfish. I think there was some smart part of me that was trying to save me.”

Watching this part is always a bit painful. Sami is not enjoying telling EJ this stuff and he’s not happy hearing it. EJ’s emotions seem to go from hurt to anger to almost a look of disgust. At one point you can see him swallow when she tells him about New Year’s Eve. As painful as this was, it was great because Sami was being completely honest with EJ and that’s what this relationship has lacked more than anything else.

Sami continues:

“The wedding was a complete disaster. But I saw Rafe. I saw who he really is. And now I think about how I kept trying to make it work with him and ask why. I mean, was I really that desperate for my family’s approval? Was I that sure he was the good guy, the right choice? I’m sorry. I know this is taking too long and you don’t need to sit here and listen to me talk about Rafe”

Holy guacamole, there is a Soap God!!! Sami Brady finally admitted part of the reason she was with Rafe was because he gave her the family approval that she had so desperately craved for years!! She wanted to be with him because he was supposed to be the good guy, the one that would make her OK in the eyes of her saintly family. At this point in the episode, you really do start to believe that this might just work out.

“What I want to say… is there’s another reason I didn’t tell you about Rafe. It’s because I knew… that if I told you… I would be throwing away you. EJ, I have been such a coward. I have been so afraid… of how you make me feel. But this is right. It feels right. And I think losing you would be the biggest mistake of my whole life. And I deserve it. I mean, I totally get that I deserve to lose you. But since when has that ever stopped me from asking for what I want? I want you. Am I too late? Do we still have a chance?”

YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FINALLY!!! This was the dialogue that we’ve been waiting to hear from Sami !!! In the space of 5 minutes, Sami has admitted that she was with Rafe to get approval from her family but most importantly, she admitted that she was scared of her feelings for EJ. She was scared of how he made her feel but she’s not scared anymore and she wants him. As she’s saying all of this, EJ’s expression goes from hurt to confusion to utter shock. As Sami asks him if they have a chance, EJ’s eyes are filling with tears, a single tear rolls down Sami’s face. Me? Crying like a baby, a very, very happy baby. I had been waiting for this moment for 5+ years and they were delivering big time!!

“I’m sorry. I’m sorry. That wasn’t a fair question. You have deserved better from me all along. There has been something between us… from day one. We danced around it, always letting something or someone get in the way. But no matter what we said, no matter what we did, no matter how angry I got… it always comes back to you. There is something in me that just can’t stay away from you. And I’m tired of fighting it. You have been patient with me. More or less.”

Oh dear Jesus! I didn’t think it could get better but it did. Sami is admitting what EJ has been telling her for forever. They have a pull, that something that no one can explain but has always been there and she’s not going to fight it anymore!!! I never thought I’d hear those words come out of Sami’s mouth but they did and I couldn’t be happier (or weepier) A quick side note. It was nice that the kids were not brought up once during this whole conversation. We heard Sami mention them to EJ all through the spring and summer of 2012. That she was helping him for the kids. Well this time around they weren’t even mentioned. This was all about EJ and Sami and their feelings for each other.

“So now it’s my turn. You can tell me off. You can tell me to go to hell. But I’m not giving up. I’m not going anywhere. I am putting you on notice, EJ. I’m willing to do what I have to for as long as it takes till I get you to come around, because I believe we belong together.”

Dreams do come true!!! Sami is putting her money where her mouth is. She is going to fight for EJ! I know this is one of the things that many EJami fans have wanted to see over the past few years. We have seen EJ fight for Sami but now we know Sami is willing to do the same for him. I loved how the music changed in the scene. It went from soft and tender to a more dramatic feel as she tells him she isn’t giving up on them. The scene ends with EJ just looking at a newly confident Sami with what I interpreted as confusion and disbelief. He had certainly never seen this side of Sami when it came to him. I can only imagine the range of emotions that he was feeling. He was finally hearing all the things from Sami that he had dreamed of but was it too late?

The Rogues have joked about this next scene. Some fans were hoping EJ would walk away from Sami after her confession so that he could keep his dignity and force her to fight for him . Well, EJ does kinda walk away :lol: When the scene picks up, a seemingly befuddled EJ gets up from the sofa and wanders towards the kitchen area. As he is doing this Sami stands up and is looking at him, with his back towards her:

Sami: EJ, you–you have to say something.

She’s standing behind him, playing with her hands and crying (FYI -I’ve been crying the whole time). She looks scared and lost and thinks she’s lost him. My heart is breaking for Sami (finally)!! We’ve seen this enough times with EJ and it was nice to see this side of Sami for once. Unfortunately, I’ve seen this happen to Sami with all of her ex’s as well so I don’t really want to see it go on for too long. It’s not fun seeing Sami go through the torture of begging and pleading with the assholes to forgive her.

EJ: As usual, you… you said everything. You may have patience for me, but I’m at the end of my patience with you.

Sami: And that’s totally understandable, so, if you just give me a chance, if you just let me explain—

This last scene is why I love EJami so damn much and why this episode was just perfect!! Sami is about to launch into what I’m sure she’s said enough times to Austin, Lucas, Brandon and Rafe. She’s prepared to beg, plead and I’m sure grovel to EJ so that he’ll give her another chance. This is the beauty of EJami. EJ stops her before she can utter another word. Then we got to experience another special moment that I honestly think only Ali and James can pull off (yes, I’m totally biased!). As she launches into further explanation, he puts his hand around her neck and brings her closer. Then he touches her forehead with his and looks her in the eyes, she stops talking and looks hopefully into his eyes. He brings her closer and they touch foreheads again and he closes his eyes. Then he puts his hand on her cheek and Sami starts to cry because she finally knows. He’s not angry with her. He’s not going to make her beg. That’s not EJ’s style when it comes to Sami and never has been. He loves her too much and this scene perfectly reflects this. Then they both start to smile and laugh and then kiss with as much joy as I’ve ever seen from them. EJ lifts her up into his arms and they continue to kiss and I don’t think I’ve ever seen them both look so happy in all my years as a fan.

This was hands down one of the best written episodes for EJ and Sami. In Sami’s monologue to EJ she covered everything that most EJami’s have been dying to hear: her family issues, being with the good guy, her fear of her feelings for him, their undeniable pull and passion for one another and last but certainly not least she was willing to fight for him. I honestly didn’t think we would ever hear this from Sami and I certainly didn’t think it was going to happen in one episode. The writers pulled off a bit of a mini miracle for me. They were able to address all these issues and we didn’t lose the parts of EJami that make them so special.

A huge thanks to Ali and James for their phenomenal performance. A major thank you to the writers at Days for making such a special episode and allowing us to enjoy the ride for as long as it goes!!

Tune in tomorrow for Part 2: EJ’s Happiness.

We got EJami!

So in case you’ve been living under a rock, we got EJami. Yep, the full blown real deal crazy hot EJami. It’s here. It actually happened.

If you haven’t been living under a rock, you’re probably asking yourself, why haven’t the rogues posted about this yet?

Well, in a nutshell….we are out of minds in giddy happy squeeing celebration. Every day we talk about how we need to post on the blog, but we literally are bogged down in clips and imagery and dialog. We pretty much sitting around making high pitched sounds that only dogs can hear.

Our joy could basically be described in song form…

So yeah. If you’ve been away, tune in! This week is going to be wonderful, and the feeling in Rogue HQ is that EJ is actually going to propose to Samantha before the week is over. We think he’s playing her so good right now.

So tune in, and we’ll be back with an actual EPIC post about what’s been going on. And if you haven’t already, join up at Forbidden Love EJami Fan Forum to discuss the show.
