Slamming Sami
Will uses the Titan publishing presses to reveal exactly what he thinks of his mom Sami’s quest for vengeance
Will Horton (Guy Wilson) is eager to light the fuse under the explosive news story of the year on Friday 20 October. He’s set to expose the hypocrisy of a woman who has of late been storming around Salem like the self-appointed Morality Police – his own mother Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney). Sami’s efforts have already put her husband EJ (James Scott) behind bars on their wedding day, Wednesday 6 September, and caused the public shaming and firing of EJ’s former mistress Abby (Kate Mansi) from Salem’s University hospital on Wednesday 4 October. But look out, Mother Dear – because Will has had enough of you acting as if you’ve always been so pure and perfect, and he’s getting ready to do a little naming and shaming of his own in Titan publishing’s TruVista magazine.
THE SAMI SPECIAL
In a feature titled A Business Affair: Sordid Details of DiMera Takeover that’s 10% business, 40% gossip, and 50% mom bashing, Will has no qualms about airing the family’s dirty laundry: “Samantha Brady is a very complex woman and when she feels she has been wronged, she will resort to any tactics, however morally questionable, that she feels will vindicate her. In short, she can be conniving and vengeful, making sure that anyone who has crossed her, either personally or in business, will pay a heavy price for the rest of their God- given time on this earth,” he writes bitterly. “It is those traits I just described that allowed my mother to ruthlessly insinuate herself into the DiMera boardroom, gaining control of the company. She achieved this goal by lying to her husband and his father about doing their bidding, all the while determined to destroy the lives of EJ and his secret mistress for their scandalous affair. Some might call that bringing a bazooka to a knife fight. I would call it the Sami Special.”
FAKE IT ’TIL YOU MAKE IT
Can Will really “tell the truth and shame the devil”? Perhaps not. Sami seems to have had her sense of shame extracted at birth. With the DiMera board pressuring her on Monday 23 October, shameless Sami prepares to fake a reconciliation with EJ to keep up appearances. Whether she can fake forgiving Will remains to be seen.
