Thinking about more, this is bothersome.

I mean, BD is a vet so that part is troubling. However, I am sure many want a break from him but also a break from the other three.

Definitely a heated issue :lol: .

Well, I'm neutral, in that I just want ALL THREE of them off my screen for a good while. LoL

And honestly, I don't really consider Bryan a vet. *ducks*

Well, its so good to see the continued hatred by fans of certain groups because they just make hatred go all around.

Do I want any actor to every lose his or her job? No
Am I happy as Ejami fan? Yes
Do I want to watch the over 40 year olds on tube? No

Murder is the worse thing and Luas is murderer yet some try to have this high morality when watching fake tv.

Isn't EJ a murderer too? Wasn't he the Gloved hand who killed Eve the cop and tried to kill several Brady's and John? Is this the same guy that tortured and blackmailed Sami for months? Didn't he lock Lucas in a freezer?

I like both actors but let's not make it sound like any one side is more innocent then the others. All 3 in this story have done criminal things. Like it or not.

Why don't they kill off EJ and send Sami and Lucas on a long,long vacation. Neither three have helped the ratings either they've only hurt them.

That is what makes me so mad with this damn fanbase war. One side makes it out that the other side is the bad one when neither guy are prizes and neither is the woman they are fighting over. That is one reason I can't get into the story anymore either. I mean give me a story front and center about someone that I give a fuck about. I mean I wouldn't want any of these three people in my life, but yet I am supposed to watch Days and escape into this story and escape into the fantasy. Sorry I never have wanted to be involved with a murderer or a rapist and all three fit into those categories.

And as thereyougo said these 3 have done nothing but drive Days down all year. And they continue to turn many fans away. If any one of them is as popular as they are supposed to be Days wouldn't have been battling near the bottom of the ratings all year long.

I actually think the backburnering of vets for too long, boring stories, and uneven pace and storytelling at times this year has been why the ratings dropped. If these 3 had been in a good story, I don't think it would matter. This story has sucked the life out of them and they can only be tolerated now once and awhile.

"E.J.'s evil!"

"Yeah, well, Lucas is a MURDERER!"

"Yeah, well, E.J.'s a RAPIST!"

"Yeah, well, Lucas did such and such!"

"Well, that's not nearly as bad as when E.J. did blah, blah, and blah!"

I cannot tell you how utterly tiring it is to read this. It's the same damn argument every time and it NEVER gets anywhere. Perhaps it's time to give it a rest. PLEASE.

Sami shouldn't be with Lucas or EJ, how hard is that to get? They have both done awful things to her, and she's done awful things to Lucas.

When Lucas and Sami were enemies I liked Lucas. And last year around October when EJ was really bad and was revealed as the gloved hands I liked him for a while. I dont get how so many Lucas and EJ fans wants their favorite character to be with Sami. Am I the only one that sees what she's done to them?
IMO Sami has destroyed Lucas and EJ.

That is where I am at and I honestly think quite a few Lumi/EJami fans feel the same way upset at how stupid and messed up the male characters they support have been contorted to be in this triangle, they are just too entrenched in their viewpoints and not wanting "the other side" to win (or they have selective morality that Sami should't be with EJ because of X or Sami shouldn't be with Lucas because of X) to say so out loud.

I just want Sami to lose both men so she can be a scheming bitch again, because at this point I don't understand what is so special or desirable about her that she would have these men fighting over her and making all these sacrifices to win her over when all she does is lie to them and treat them like crap. If Lucas left town and EJ told Sami to move out anyway, that could be fun if they both got to be developed as independent characters some more plus maybe then Kate and Billie could get their own stories that are not just supporting the EJamicas triangle.

How is it any more troubling than the way that fans of other vets like Drake Hogestyn and Renee Jones (as well as the loyal actors themselves) have been jerked around?

My "hubby" describes it this way (remember he just started liking soaps - has thought they were degrading before but GH has changed his opinion - he loves it). But anyway he watched Days with his Mom growing up some and has watched it off and on with me the last year.

He says the EJ/Sami/Lucas triangle is like watching a triangle between Adolf Hitler, Jezebel, and Jeffrey Dahmer. None of them are rootable characters. They have some charisma but there is no way in the world you would ever fuck any of them.

It could be worse we could watch a 40 year old living on a boat and calling his wife the name of a cat food. How boring would that be?

I love Alison, but at this point, I'd be up for getting rid of Sami and Lucas just to end this neverending tale.

What's wrong with being 40?

No interest in over 40 crowd for me. I personally am tired of some of the fans complaining and its caused me to have zero interest in the characters they love because of their tone.

Well it is more than obvious that I am a huge James fan, but if Days had written this storyline well, I think all the fans would like it much better.

The story is what stinks, not the characters. Really, even flawed, evil or bad characters can be interesting. HS just failed miserably to draw viewers in what should have been a great story. JMO of course.

Well the backburnering of the 40 and over actors and the ignorance of the importance of those fans for years is what has not only led Days to the point it is but all the soaps too. Y&R is the only soap that cares about all age groups and that is the reason that even though it has hurt some it still gets decent ratings.

There is no one fan group or fan base that is more important than any others. For years Days and even ABC has said we want those 18-49 and even more important those 18-34 viewers and fuck you to the rest.

Well in the end if Days is cancelled they can chalk that up to decision #1 that led to the cancellation.

For years Passions talked about it's big teen viewership and bragged about it. In the end where did that get them. Nowhere. It will be the same with Days.
