Do they expect Matt Ashford fans to keep watching after the Olympics? There's nothing in this for any of us. |

There's not a lot there for fans unless you just love EJ and Sami. If you love them, you get to see them all the time and you get to know their every thought and action. If you don't, you might as well walk away, because they're the ones who are going to get the focus, forever and ever, amen...while you wait and wait and wait for those few times when your favorite might get a little something to do. |

Well, seeing as how I LOVE them, it would be great for me if this were true, but it is not. In fact, even on days LOADED with EJami, when the scenes are clipped for EJami fans to watch on our site (that means only EJami scenes, nothing else from the show) the length of the vid totals 5-9 minutes depending on the episode. SO that leaves plenty of time for the other crap going on. And yes I mean crap. I see that the show wants to draw in younger viewers, but I think they will have an easier time if they go with something like Will and Sonny, not Gabi/Andrew/Melanie/Chad fiasco nonsense. SO I think that because the EJami/Lumi/Safe/EJole stuff gets talked about all the time on boards, or because it is a subject of tension for shippers of various couples, people get fixated on that as being the reason the show sucks, but there are PLENTY of other reasons on any given day. I think people just get used to FFing through the other stuff and start to view it as just another commercial. lol Hopefully, they can come up with some better story arcs to involve more people and maybe inter-weave the young with the old so that everyone has at least 1 or 2 reasons to watch, because no couple will actually last forever on a soap. We need bigger reasons to watch. I agree with you that there will be a lot of EJami on in the coming months, but I doubt it will be more than 5-10 minutes of the show total when all is said and done, so if you really hate them, (and that is fine, I am not knocking it if you do) just get your FF button ready like I do for Safe scenes and hope for another part of the show to catch your interest. I'll be hoping for one too because I'd love to want to watch the WHoLE show for once! lol |

I am so looking forward to this I can't stand it! If they make him a priest I am gonna die...although that could be hot. I would feel a little strange rooting for it, but hey, I've watched the Thornbirds. lol I just hope the story is a good one! I realllllly want Nicole to have a great love story, and I reaaallllyyyyy want to get her away from Dr. Dirty. They're grossing me out! lol Although I don't know how the baby could play into that whole thing. I still think it was dumb of them to give her a 2nd miracle pregnancy. I mean really?? And now if she does get this great love story with Eric, what if they wanted to write children for them!!?? A 3rd miracle!?? Come the f on! So I am excited, but I am not sure how they are gonna clean up their mess. I mean, I have never wished for her to lose the baby. It honestly made no difference to me. Lots of people have babies with people they aren't with, but I think it might be a little weird if she gets with Eric and Sami is with Ej and then Eric is raising his sister's husband's kid. IDK...lol |

This is exactly my problem with the show. There are no s/l that offer any suspense or anything interesting with a twist. Everything is soooo predictable. I mean, there is no point following the Stef's murder s/l when we all predicted ages ago that Ian was the one who frames EJ and that Stef is not dead at all. The whole thing is just used to prop EJami. I was kinda pissed they dropped the Alamania story and the bit with the coin like a hot potato. I wanted closure for that! Plus the only reason I liked that s/l was b/c it had two of my favs Hope & John! As for EJ dropping Sami, yes it would be shocking, but isn't that what they are going for? The shock factor.

Five to nine minutes almost every day...for about six years...with no end in sight. Try waiting two weeks or more to see your favorite for five minutes, only to then wait ANOTHER two week for another five minutes. It happens. Unless you're EJ or Sami. There are a few others who get pretty good airtime, but EJ and Sami get the most focus. So many of the rest of us play an endless waiting game, and we play it for years. |

I am assuming you mean seperately they are on all the time, not as a couple ( or a pairing I should say) well that is because like it or not, they are the leading man and woman of Days. I know some people don't like that, but it doesn't make it less true and it doesn't look like it will change anytime soon. In fact, I think Corday said that about James in an interview. Good for me, bad for you obviously. :( But out of curiosity, who were you waiting to see? If it was a vet, I fear that won't get any better. Most of them are recurring aren't they? Other than that, I can't think of who didn't get air time. I feel like the young crowd gets a lot of air time, and I have often felt sick to death of looking at Rafe's face but I'm sure if broken down theirs woulf prob only be 5-10 minutes too. It just feels like more because I hate it. lol Which is I assume what happens to you with EJ/Sami. |

Yeah, but their story is exactly the same story we've been watching for literally years, with little variation. Sami and EJ chapter 57. To change it up, they insert Lucas or Nicole periodically. Many of us get tired of it, because it's always the same, and because we have other favorites who are seldom on. |

MarDar still listed as head writers in 7/24 credits. As previously stated, they are also listed on the 7/27 script cover. TomSell may not debut, officially, until August. |

Isn't the definition of insanity doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results? :hypnotize: Days better stop throwing characters under the bus to prop this Ej/Beast nonsense and start writing character driven drama that doesn't revolve around the same two characters. |

When will they realize that not everyone is an EJAMI fan, nor does everyone want to see Ali Sweeney & James Scott on every frigging episode. If they think that EJAMI is the cure for what ails DAYS, Corday & NBC are sadly mistaken. Sami with her rapist - a rapist who's never been redeemed(as Jack was previously) - no thanks. I'm just so over the continual pimping of EJ, Sami, Rafe, Daniel and a few others who frankly don't merit the excessive airtime they get. And, I honestly couldn't give a fuck about ED returning either - the whole Kristian/Susan thing was played out long ago. About the only good thing in future is the return of Nick Fallon, because BB can act. Otherwise, without Matt Ashford, I doubt I'll be diverging too much from the CBS soaps after the Olympics. |
