I am curious if he ever went out and got a TV, since he has admitted that he doesn't own one and he didn't want to sit around ingesting that garbage.
I don't think he watches now. He didn't know what was going on when Sami was in witness protection.
I wasn't trying to bash James or anything. I was trying to throw him a lifeline in case Ali sucks ass, you know, the way most of us expect her to.

I actually hope she does a good job, I just can't imagine it.

That's a very kind thing you're doing for James, I'm sure he'd appreciate knowing he has people out here trying to cover his ass in case he misspeaks.

you know, you CAN witness good acting, while acting w/ other people.. It's not just a "TV" thing LOL. You don't think the actors open their eyes and pay attention to what's going on around them? Maybe that is what James was referring to, just maybe.. :eyeroll:
Hmm,well I would assume,that the scenes he is describing are the ones he shares with her??If thats the case,he was there,and saw it

As a fan I'm happy to cover his ass. I just won't stalk it or worship it.

If I'm not mistaken, that wasn't the case when he said the same of Ari.

He seemed to know a lot about her scenes, is it possible he was there watching? How can he judge her acting if he didn't see it in person or on TV?

Bwahahaha! I did not mean to give any indication that I had any idea what James was talking about.

Seriously, I can not fathom AS's scenes as anything close to as good as he claims. I hope that I am pleasantly surprised by her acting and not treated, or mistreated as the case may be, to more of her huffing, puffing, face scrunching, wailing.

*crossing my fingers that Ali does not suck*

People do it on the boards all the time.

I'm sure he saw it. But to say the best acting on Days...well, even if he's only talking about since he's been on the show, since he's made it sound like he doesn't watch other things that are going on that doesn't mean much to me. If he means the best in Days history...YEAH RIGHT!

HELL YEAH EJ! Punch that mother fucker out!! And fuck you Sami! Once again, you are being selfish and tell EJ after the fact FUCK YOU!!!
I am only on page 2 of this article, and I never thought I would say this, but HELL YA, GINA!
EJ needs to punch the fucker! And big kick in the ass to Sami for waiting until his daughter is dead to tell him...just so she can feel how she wants to feel!!!
UGH! Such a chicken shit! MY Sami would have said "fuck you, Stefano" and told EJ long ago so the man could hold and love on his daughter.

On the weird ass side, while I might throw up during the baby flat line scenes, I am excited to see the aftermath of all of this. They are really selling how good this will be.

As far as JS's comments... :sheep: If AS does a better than AZ did with her miscarriage or KA did with Zach's death, and she has me crying with them, I will praise AS. But for some reason, I am not holding my breath!

And don't worry, AZ! I know you can be redeemed after all of this. Flick of a pen. :eyeroll:

This sounds AMAZING!

And Ali's best acting yet, huh? James better be right.

"Gering says that when the baby dies, the heartbeat slows and the baby flatlines, and the doctor removes the IV and says that they can stay with Grace as long as they want. "It was very intense."

wow, Heartbreaking stuff coming up!

It's happened before - sometimes when SOD has a big 'exclusive' on a story, SOW doesn't mention it that week. For example, the week of Corday's 'spokes on a wheel' interview in SOD, SOW didn't mention the firings at all.

I haven't commented on this story yet since I was MIA during the time all this got confirmed.

First off, I have to talk about Corday. What a fucking moron. Why does he do the interviews? Where the hell is Tomlin? Seriously, where does he get this shit? Days didn't blow the roof off the ratings with Zack's death. Sure, the show jumped to 3rd but spots 3-5 were close so that wasn't much to talk about.

I hated him saying back then that babies dying was a "no no." There are no "no nos." This is DRAMA. You just try to tell compelling stories. Babies dying, mental, illness, child abuse, etc are all things that happen in real life and that should be addressed, if done properly. Sure, you try not to do them all the time but if you feel you have a good story, you tell it. I just don't understand Corday. Days has done stories like this throughout it's entire run. It's never shied away from it. I also doubt his parents were passionately against doing it as these sorts of things happened under them too. My feeling is he doesn't like these stories because there is just too much pressure to tell them right. It's easier to do stories focusing on baby switches, triangles, etc. He doesn't want the backlash so he tries to avoid those stories.

Having said all that, this story sounds great. It ups the stakes in the story. It moves everything forward and I like all the things they will be focusing on. Sami finally telling EJ the truth, EJ seeing Sami's point about keeping the truth from him based on his dealings with Stefano of late, Nicole's guilt, Will and Sami tension, Lucas and Chloe tension, Rafe's being willing to adopt another man's child, Sami lying yet again, etc. This should all be fascinating to watch. My favorite part is Sami hating herself and wanting everyone around her to hate her too. This may draw out some of the old Sami. When she is in self-destructive mode, she is in rare form. I really think Ali's best acting will be in the aftermath when she is lashing out and wanting everyone to hate her.

While on the subject of Ali's acting, I've felt she's been great since returning from maternity leave and I've always felt she does her best emotional work when she is in scenes focusing on children. I really think she will surprise some people here. She was good today but it's early yet. I'm not looking for the same performance KA gave or AZ or Deidre Hall or whomever. Every actress is different. Every character is different. It's unfair to compare this story or the performances to other stories or performances in the past when circumstances were different and called for different choices. I'm judging on this story and these performances. If I find them disappointing, it will not be because KA did it better or the story was not as good as Zack's death. My prediction is Ali will do ok enough to start but during the aftermath she will be great because her acting suits being angry, lashing out, etc.

GG is not a good actor but he's serviceable and some of his best moments on Passions came from moments like this. His work in his first year on Passions when he believed his father died was pretty good. Galen can handle being torn up. He's not going to win any awards or anything but I think he can make the material work at least.

I expect James Scott to be fantastic when learning the truth and Ari will be great as usual. I also think Dylan Patton will finally get a chance to prove himself with what is coming as this will be his first dose of heavy dramatic material.

I can't wait for all this. Once again, Days brings out the big guns...in June LOL.

I agree. I think this will all be fantastic. Love or hate the baby killing, it has already created a huge amount of buzz and I for one can't wait - finally something good on this show!

I will wait to judge Ali when the scenes play out, but I agreed with James on Ari's acting during the miscarriage (fantastic) and I bet we'll be happily surprised by how Ali handles this drama too. Today was a good sign - I didn't notice any face scrunching (maybe she reads this Board) and I really started to feel her fear.

Reading this interview, I think she gets it and maybe that will make a difference.

As for being an Ejami fan, this is the kind of angst we have been waiting for! Bring it on! Go Ejami! :makeout:

That selfish bitch! I knew it. She doesnt even tell him because he has a right to know. Nope its all about Sami. Once again. She is just sick and the most selfish person on this earth. She wants someone to hate her. How anyone can want Ejami after this I dont know? That is unforgivable.
Rape is unforgiveable, also. EJami was doomed from the start.

That is why the man shouldn't do interviews.

He doesn't research anything or make sure what he is saying makes sense. He just pulls stuff out of his ass to back up his position and what the show is doing at the time, thinking no one else is smart enough to call him on it. When he faces backlash, he always acts innocent and ignorant. The guy honestly thinks people are not smart enough to see through his bullshit. Maybe before the Internet he could get away with it but not now.

He really should let someone else be interviewed. The good news is it seems like he still has nothing to do with the stories or direction of the show, which has seemed to be the case since January. Otherwise, I doubt he would going with this story and I think the show would be lacking in direction, which is not happening. I just hope that continues because it's in the show's best interest that he stays as far away from the writing and stories as possible.
