The James Scott Interview - Days Of Our Lives; "There is going to be a huge twist..."
Topic Started: Nov 7 2009, 10:51 AM (20,024 Views)

It seemed to me that even James Scott understands the problem with Ejami.. They simply dont fit!
EJ's Character would have to be ruined and turned into something JS obviously despises.
i.e. A witless boring weakling.
Or Sami has to stop being a Brady and embrace his evil side and his family. And while Sami certainly has done her share of wrong, She wasnt actually evil. Selfish, Vindictive,Calculating and desperate, but she always held on to good qualities too and was capable of feeling guilt.. And most of her 'Crimes' happened when she was very very young. For the writers to take her their she would be rejecting everything her Mom and Dad tried to give her.
I see them only teasing the potential by throwing them together in stormy situations but I believe her heart will now belong to Rafe.

The only way I ever see Sami embracing a darker side is if 'Belle' returned and she was able to carry on the Brady legacy of Good verses Evil. Even then it would be tough, but I cant see the Brady legacy totally destroyed by pairing her with a DiMera.

Nor do I honestly think James Scott or A Sweeney does.. They BOTH want to be true to their character , His being Evil, and Her being a Brady to the core, her Mother and Fathers daughter...
Besides I think keeping them mostly apart and at odds creates many more stories for them in the future.

:roflol: :roflol: You took the words right off of my keyboard.

I'm not sure why anyone would presume to know what JS or AS are thinking. And I definitely didn't get the impression Taelyn seemed to from this interview or any others I've read.

Sami was never, ever a do-gooder Brady in the past. So if AS hopes to stay true to the core of her character...that ain't it. I agree that Sami was not pure evil - but then, neither is EJ. The very fact that he saves Rafe from the hit Stefano ordered because he's concerned about what it would do to Samantha is proof of that. I love the complexities that have always existed in both characters - and seeing either one of them pigeon holed into being purely white or black is a waste of the characters and the talented actors that play them.

Not every fanbase is going to get a "payoff" (whatever that means) because there are some fanbases that don't really have any logical reason to exist. For a brief moment, I was a fan of Stefano & Maggie (remember when he saved her life?) and there were people doing a slow-boil clammor for a Stefano/Maggie pairing. It never happened. Just because you created a mash-up couple name for two characters who've shared a scene together (which may, or may not, have included a shared "look", a kiss, sex, whatnot), you've sent gifts to the actors (or stalked one or more of the people involved), written letters to TPTB, and set up an adorable message board devoted solely to your "couple" doesn't mean that the cosmic gods (or EPs or HWs) owe you some sort of "payoff".

OH OH!
I bet the big twist in the story that they have been subtly hinting at is Nicole is pregnant. That's why she is always eating...gaining weight...and she and EJ got their love on just a couple of weeks ago, so it is possible...and a big twist that not to many people think of.
Just my specs!

Oh, and the Salem Serial Killer story had me constantly tuning in just to see what crazy ass shit would happen next. This was before spoilers for me so I really had no clue what was going on and just couldn't believe all that was happening.
I really start laughing when I think about it, and all that crazy shit with the vets dying and Maggie in her kitchen and the choking, etc. LOL! Good times!
I too was spoiler free back then and wouldnt miss a show taping whenever I had to work.. I was sooooooo upset over all the deaths , and so confused and angry at what was going on. LOL
I was like Dam.. They have nobody left on the show ????????

But Man oh Man... When Marlena killed some or even 'thought about it.. Ewwwwwwww..I almost couldnt watch, I truly was Horrified. ~Laughs now thinking back~

Funny. I thought it was when he was talking about EJOLE in the interview that he complained about EJ's character being turned into the "village idiot." Not in any discussion of EJami. Guess that means EJole can never happen again, huh? ;)

Not that it even really matters that much what the actors want because if what the actors wanted controlled everything Bo and Hope never would have happened.

I'm just glad he's happy about what's ahead because I think it'll help him deliver stronger performances.

I never said she was a "Do Gooder" In fact I said quite the opposite, However Sami was never Evil. And She worships her Family.

As for EJ having good qualities, I agree.. He does especially when it suits him or comes to Family, Sound familiar? Stephano also was known to do good deeds and save lives.. When it suited him, and had a sensitive side as well.. But in truth .. He is still very Evil. Although even HE never Raped Marlena no matter how much he wanted her, He violated her in many ways though mentally and physically.. He wanted her submission, and her heart something he could never have.

As for the Interview.. I not only read it I 'Listened' to it. perhaps you didnt.
If you didnt hear JS mention the inherent problem with Ejami then thats your ears hearing what you wanted and blocking the rest. But what was written is still clear..He mentioned them in this manner when asked if "HE wants Ejami together"
"JAMES:It depends on what they do with Sami, because EJ and Sami worked well when they were both bad. Recently Sami has been more of a ‘goody girl’. It’s harder to pair the ‘goody girl’ with the bad guy, but they have these kids that connect them and these huge connections between the two of them. You have to have more of that for a relationship to work. So either I have to be not so bad or she has to be not so good, or we meet in the middle

He also said "They have potential as a couple" depending on how the writers take the characters.
He also mentioned this edge dragging out because writers want to keep viewers waiting and watching.

Why do you assume I didn't listen to the interview? I couldn't agree with James more. The current version of Sami doesn't work. Sami wasn't a 'goody girl' when EJ first came on the scene - and the reason EJami sparked so much interest, particularly after EJ's true identity was revealed was because both characters were flawed.

My favorite version of EJ was not when he was lily white and pushing around prams following dutifully along behind Samantha - I doubt James wants to play him that way, either.

But if you take EJ and Sami back to the original incarnations - both of them the bad girl/bad guy with a good heart and a definite soft spot for one another there is all kinds of potential soapy goodness there.

THAT is what I got from James' comments - and I think he's dead right.

I didnt assume anything, why do you put words in my mouth?
I said "perhaps you didnt listen" and then went on to say if you didnt hear what he said then it must be because you choose not to. implying that you probably DID listen.
And heard simply what you wanted to hear negating the obvious problems with the pairing.

And your reply makes it clear thats what you did. Hey thats fine I know you want Ejami, and You know I dont.
But Interviews have shown that James WANTS to be the Dark EJ DiMera, He enjoys the edgy harsh side of his character it gives him more to work with.

And Alison has stated that she loves the growth that her character is showing, that she is a Mom and trying to be a better mom to her small children than she was to Will when it was one fiasco after another. She wants to make her parents proud and is finally starting to "like herself".. Because ~Bad Sami~ always hated herself and was her own worst enemy.. I dont see her taking that path again. Atleast not with her heart.. Sami will always have a fiery spark to her, But holding onto that fire does not mean that she will condone or accept the criminal life of a DiMera.... Nope , atleast not willingly.

I agree about the part that JS said. I think he did say in his interview that ejami worked when they were both bad. Now, they have turned Sami into a good girl, so something would have to happen. Either EJ would have to become good, or Sami would have to turn into a bad girl again, or they would have to meet in the middle. IMO, they won't turn EJ good, b/c he is much better as a bad boy and he doesn't like being a good guy; he much prefers being the villain. It would be difficult to turn Sami into a bad girl again. When she was bad, she only had one child, Will. Now, she has three young children, too. It would be a poor image for her as a mother-- not that it can't be done, but still. Besides, I believe they are making her into a form of Marlena. As for meeting in the middle, that would mean both characters would turn into gray characters and ruin both of their characters.
These, of course are not JS's words, but I do believe he did say something very close to that.

EXACTLY..

I do believe they will continue to tease the prospect, and hey Sami could even end up with a chip in her brain or something LOL.. But again, They key word is 'Willing' I dont see Sami's "Heart" ever choosing to be with EJ, even if she is otherwise manipulated into it. Setting up ofcourse a rescue of sorts by the man she DOES LOVE.... Ala Rafe

Wow...more assumptions. :lol: I think I explained my point of view pretty clearly in my previous post. It's your call if you choose not to read it - or agree. Not my issue.

However, I really like to keep things as clear as possible, so I have to ask when/where you read or heard the following:

I don't recall seeing AS say all of that in any of the interviews that I've seen or heard. Do you have a link?

Well Gee.. I dont stockpile quotes or interviews, But I do recall it being in one of the soap mags.. Nor did I make it a direct quote it was a geneal recollection not an "assumption".

But you can choose not to believe me if you like. Because even if I could produce the quote I dont think it would change your view because face it.. from 'my perspective' most Ejami's dont really care about what "Sami wants".. If EJ wants her he should have her regardless of who she loves or does not love.

Just want to interject - not a Safe supported in any way shape or form - but Ali did say in a recent interview that fans have been expressing that they miss the old Sami but that she loves that Sami has grown and matured and thinks it is right that she should be this way and settle down more now that she is a mother of three young children. I couldn't tell you where that interview is, but it was recent.

I don't think that Sami has to be 'bad' in the same way that she was in the past, but she could certainly have an edge. I personally think that she ought to be ruthless--perhaps in business, and I think she can still be vengeful without hurting innocent people. Kate's pretty ruthless, and I get her motives, even if some of the things she does are heinous.

I hate that they are turning Sami into Marlena (heroine Sami sucks IMHO), but I also agree with JS that if she stays 'good' and EJ is 'bad', Ejami doesn't have much of a future. I don't think that having EJ and Sami be 'grey' means that their characters would be ruined. It isn't necessary to kill people to be a bad-ass, and I really miss bad-ass Sami!!!

LOL!! :P

Speaking as an EJAMI, I do think this interview was good from "EJAMI" standpoint. And personally, I think tptb are going to take them both to gray. Nothing I've read, just my speculation. They won't make EJ too bad, because he is soo popular with the fans and I don't think they will paint him too far in that corner. As we've seen this week, he saves Rafe from Stefano's hit because he cares about Sami. I think Sami will retaliate against Nicole, at least I hope so. I don't want Sami to be painted in the corner as "Marlena part deux" . I like Sami with an edge, but I don't think they'll take her as far as she use to be. JMO
