If he wanted her dead why bother to catch her the first time? He has no way of knowing another explosion will follow.

To keep viewers thinking that he wants to save her....and just when they have accomplished that, he intentionally drops her...it's shock value!
OH. HOW. FUN.!! That would be the handly work of Tomsell, I'm sure!! LOVING IT! EJ can drop Sami with some smart aleck remark--and Lucas can save her, rush her to the hospital and take it from there. That would be awesome!!

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I agree. If it were simply Sami dropping and Ej sobbing over her "death" than why exactly would that be shocking since we already know that AS isn't leaving the show nor is Sami dying! Defeats the purpose of the cliffhanger. JMO We will have to wait and see if Ej actually drops her intentionally but I think it will be BIG and not just Sami admitting her feelings for Ej.
The general audience doesn't automatically know that Sami doesn't die or that AS is staying on the show. Those of us who seek out spoilers and participate on soap boards do - but we're the minority.

So Sami appearing to fall to her death after EJ loses his grip would be shocking to the audience and would likely bring people back after the Olympics to see what happened. Just like whatever happens with Jack and saving Abby. Or Nicole and the cramps. And the people trapped underground when HTS starts falling. EJami aren't the only focus of the cliffhanger - just one part of the overall story.
I agree about GA but if they want people to tune back in after a 2 week hiatus than there has to be more to this cliffhanger than just people being hurt or presumed dead. 2 weeks without watching a show can make someone not want to tune back in if there isn't anything to peak their curiosity.
The spoilers, as written, wouldn't make anyone (other than EJ/Sami fans) tune in. That would distroy the ratings. If that's what they want, so be it, but if they want a REAL show they need to get out from under this horrible stuff Mar Dar was pushing for.

Considering the Beast has been on the show for 19 years NON-STOP, I doubt the viewers will be worried about her possibly dying. IMO Her almost being murdered by Ej would be much more interesting. And while other characters are being featured, it doesn't matter considering they have all been pretty much given as much thought as background characters to the Ej/Sami drama going on. And who's to say the cliffhanger won't be any different. Now Ej purposefully dropping Sami could make for awesome drama further down the road. :popcorn:

I have never questioned EJ's love for Sami and would never believe he would kill her. That is crazy to me. Shocking for me would be her finally admitting she loves him, because her being honest about her feelings for EJ is what we never see, IMO.
This show needs to give something for non Ej/Sami fans to enjoy. Having Sami profess her love for Ej isn't interesting enough since that changes from week to week. Having Ej purposefully drop Sami to her death would truly shock the audience and make the viewers want to catch Days after the cliffhanger. :popcorn:
Non EJ/Sami fans should be able to enjoy other parts of the show, but there lies the problem. THe show sucks most of the time, so people get fixated on one couple or storyline and then just argue or debate about it endlessly. In the old days, when one of your couples weren't working, you rooted for another or another storyline, but I'm sorry, I really don't care that Melanie has been kidnapped, I don't like John anymore, and it has nothing to do with him plotting against EJ, he is just boring and if I have to watch him and Marlena suck face again I am gonna puke, I can't get into Nicole and creepy Doc, it freaks me out! HELLO DAYS! She is pregnant with another mans baby! THat is not sexy unless you are into fetishes! Mad looks too old for Brady IMO, I could go on and on.....Nothing else interests me at this point. I so wish it did because Lord knows as an EJami fan I have been repeatedly let down. lol

General and majority of the audience would. They're spoiler free. Would they expect Jack not to die since he's a longer character than Sami? They don't know Jack was fired, they will be shocked at who dies and who lives.

Drop her, drop her! :hail:

Seriously though, EJ or Sami confessing their undying love isn't shock value. If they want folks to hang on during the Olympics and return, they'll have to come up with a whole lot more than that. Besides that's not a huge payoff for the whole audience. And that's what they better be aiming for.

While it would be freakingfantasticlly wonderful if he dropped the skankerbooger, I doubt the writers are that creative. However, if for some wild, offchance, stolen frozen moment in time that it does happen, I'll weep with friggin' joy.

Don't kill the dream... :wub:

You're right. It would shock me. It would shock me right into never watching this show again. -_- I mean its not like the show was any better off after she shot him and that was certainly shocking. People want to see romance when they watch a soap, and from were I sit, Days has none of that unless they can fix a few of these couples.

Not a fan of Sami except in small doses so really don't care which guy she is sniffing around.
zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
Just my opinion but I can't get too excited about Gary Tomlin's vision for Days he was the one that
got rid of BD , the DH's & a lot of other stuff that pissed off many fans in 2009-2011

^^I'll bet you it doesn't happen like that.

Even if he wasn't still in love with her (which he is), he would never "kill" the mother of his kids. He'd know Johnny and Sydney would miss her too much.
He wouldn't take the kids' mother away from them? I don't agree at all. He's already done it. Remember Sami having to sneak into Johnny's room and make up a secret language for the two of them so EJ wouldn't find out?

He is absolutely capable of taking her away from them again, no question. Even permanently.
But by killing her, he would be taking her away from them permanently, something he has not done before and something I don't believe he would ever do.

Of course he took them away in the past. She shot him in the head and he was pissed. Most of us would be.

Like always though, these two forgave each other and recently agreed not to use the kids against each other anymore, so we'll just have to wait and see about that.

I find that most of the people I talk to who are GA really like Alison Sweeney they just wish Days would make Sami stick with one man. Of course everyone I talk to also seems to like Rafe which makes me wonder if they are watching the same show as me! lol The only man I really like besides EJ is Brady....and the new Will. I find it interesting how differing people's views are when they watch the same show everyday. It really shows how unique we each are that we read something different in every story and character and that different things appeal to each of us. I guess you can't please all of the Days fans all f the time. Hell, it seems they can't even please SOME of them MOST of the time. Ha ha ha

Whether she fell accidentally or was dropped - the same unspoiled folks would want to know whether she lives or dies. So having EJ drop her on purpose really only plays out as compelling stuff for the fans that hate EJami - because either way, she's falling. There are probably members of the GA that would easily believe they'd kill off Sami - particularly since AS has branched out and is known for doing more than DAYS now. AS leaving wouldn't shock a lot of people - so having her fall to her 'death' despite EJ's efforts to save her would likely bring alot of people back after the break to see how it plays out.

We've had a round of EJami attempting to kill one another (Sami shooting him in the head) so seeing it on the flip side doesn't sound all that fresh or compelling - just a variation on what we've already seen.

I think Sami declaring her love for EJ would be interesting and different. I've sure seen a lot of posts about how she's never done that, so that would be something new.
ITA. For once, let Sami admit to EJ that no matter how hard she has tried, she loves him, right when she is on the brink of death. That would shock the hell outta me; she is an Olympic track star when it comes to her feelings for EJ.

There I go getting my hopes up again. Damn you, Days!! *shakes fist*

Y'all seriously. Unspoiled people aren't idiots. Maybe three people will truly believe Sami is dead, and AS will be sure to RT all three of them. GA does not equal stupid. They've been watching this show as long or longer than we have. This isn't their first rodeo. There was an explosion two months ago that led to nothing. This isn't exciting to them either.

It's not a matter of them being stupid. Anyone who has watched Soaps for any length of time can usually figure out the score. But ultimately - when they do a cliffhanger the intent is to leave things ambiguous enough that the audience isn't quite sure how it's all going to shake out. And it won't really matter how the event happened as much as what the outcome will be when the dust settles.

And anyone who has watched Days for the last few years knows that none of it's going to matter because the show isn't going to do anything significant to any of its main characters. By the end of August, it will all be a distant memory and they'll never refer to it again. Meanwhile, the people who are actually going to have something significant and lasting happen to them aren't are so far in the background that they're either barely significant enough or not significant enough to mention in spoilers. Regardless, there's nothing fresh about any of this. There was an explosion two months ago. Fresh is not going to happen.

I don't disagree with any of that. It is a terrible shame they've done so little with Jack leading up to this. Even Madison, while I don't really care, has been given little to no focus. And shipping Caustin off right before the big event seems kind of stupid...although I'm relieve we're done with Cafe.

My point was really just in response to the posters stating that EJ intentionally dropping Sami would be more compelling and worthy of the cliffhanger than having her fall while he's trying to save her. She's falling either way and like you said, everyone knows she'll survive. So how she falls doesn't seem to matter as much as what happens after the fact in my opinion.

Wow. They're really making it easy to keep me from watching. O have no idea what anyone else is saying but these spoilers remind me a lot of the spoilers we used to get of Dena's stuff. I'm pretty sure I'll only be retiring for ED and I don't expect that to last. Congrats, Days. You get a do-over of 2010-2011.
How have none of you jumped on all these typos?
