I'm glad Ali and James want a slow build for EJAMI. One of the things I love about EJAMI is that there is always that uncontrollable passion involved, whether it's love, hate, or anything in between. Trying to do the instacouple thing would not be good with this couple. This is not a traditional couple and they do not need a traditional storyline.

I suspect that any "attraction" that Will felt for E.J. was the attraction of a young man who wanted a father figure and saw that person in E.J. After all, the world has spun out of control and has been unstable for Will and E.J., as a powerful figure, has control and has been a constant in Will's life for some years. I really like the father/son relationship that seems to be blooming there!

Even being an ardent Ejami, I would agree one of the past posts from this thread, where someone mentioned that he/she could watch EJAMI every day, but it isn't good for the show. I agree with this, and would like to see some more investment in some other storylines and characters. I do think some characters will always be more front and center, though, and I do think E.J. and Sami warrant being there.

That being said, I really like Nicole, Lucas, and a lot of the other Salemites and I hope we see some good storylines for them soon. I love some of the ideas that have come up for them in this forum! For one, I really agree with other posters who think bringing Autumn in would be a great idea!

Thanks for posting, Ellie!

Still no word on what they have planned for Eric? Or if there is and I missed it, can someone direct me please?
I don't think we'll learn much about that until we're closer to the time that Eric arrives. October, I think...

Js said he is mostly working with Sami so we have three more months of them in each others orbits. He also said he wasn't working with AZ at all so yippee. I'm not a bit worried because i have watched people's reaction to EJ and Sami written well for the past two weeks and the response is overwhelmingly favorable. I refuse to listen to what might me when i know what is for the near future..just going to enjoy every minute. I'm also not worried about Safe as Rafe will be going in a different direction based on everything I've read. I'm sure he is having scenes with AS and JS but my guess is he is the one who will believe EJ;s being set up. He will be Sami's Roman . I have no idea what will happen to Lucas but he was on twitter begging for more Lucas scenes when Chandler won the emmy so time will tell with GT at the helm.
That was several months ago and JS didn't say he hadn't worked with AZ at all, just that he hadn't worked with her as much. And that definitely fits with what is airing now. On the otherhand who knows what the future holds?
Actually it wasn't several months ago from my source and JS said he wasn't working with AZ at all and so i know we have several more months of no Nicole stinking up his scenes. GG and AZ are working together alot from what I was told. In the future anythign can change but that is what I know for immediate future and its all good for me. JS is still working with JS now and they are filming end of October .

Well if that's the case then they might as well pull the plug. I've become apathetic to Days of Our Lives Ej/Sami hour and I'm sure many others have as well.

Sorry, now that Carrie & Austin are gone, I will not stick around for the EJ/Sami show. I'm sick of it!! I loved the love story they were building for EJ & Nicole but as soon as TomSell came back they pulled the cord on them. I also loved the writing for Lumi when Lucas first came back but once again she's thrown in Ej's orbit. Sorry other than Kristen coming back there is NOTHING for me to watch for. All my couples are gone or will be gone soon: Aurrie,Bope,Jeck,Lumi and Ejole. THE VETS & SUPERCOUPLES are what I watch for, not for newbies. The Days I knew and loved is Officially dead

You do know TomSell have been officially writing the show since the 24th of July, right. MarDar haven't been writing since they were fired, just a lot of their stuff was still playing out with interim writers and TomSell tweaking it so that flows nicely into their own stuff.

No, TomSell have not "officially" been writing the show since the 24th. Per the DA's and Jason, they havent appeared in the credits. I believe that they're writing parts of the show, but going off outlines and stories that they have to clean up.

IDK who her source is but I remember an article (I want to say SID) where he says that he hasn't worked with Ari in a while so it was nice to see her in the hallway or something to that effect. Either way, we'll find out on screen soon enough if EJ and Nicole have not interacted. I know that haven't in a little while.

ITA with Jamison agreeing to let the ejami story play out. For a twosome who has had a colorful history, a quickie coupling will not work at all. EJ and Sami have a lot of issues that need to be addressed and resolved that takes time if they are going to make them a legitimate couple. It looks like tptb are serious in making ejami for real this time. If that is the case...

I can't wait! :cheer:

Yeah, we probably wont see Tomlin and Whitsells writing for a while, at least until end of August. A good judgement for story idea and breakdown will be Nicks return in my opinion. If they write that story well then that is a good sign of stuff to come.

I read it in SID but also read several tweets from different sources. I also loved SOD because James pretty much for the first time said they are working at doing a slow build for Ejami and not a thrown together mess. He has pretty much never given anything definitive away before so this is BIG. They are heading for Ejami but in a slow tease buildup that Ejami is fabulous at. I think I could see the signs though with the dialogue , the photoshoots, the jumbotron promotion in New York..its a campaign to get people watching again ..thus fans bringing back fanswho gave up or new fans that will feel the heat of Ejami. They also need to focus on getting other stories underway that are just as interesting as no one couple can be the whole show and right now they have nothing else going for them that excites people. I was not a huge fan of Melanie but now that she is leaving they finally gave her a storyline that made me like her and wish she wasn't leaving.

I had high hopes for Will and Sonny but they dropped the ball with Sonny. He is a one note boring character now and so he no longer holds my interest while Will has added layers of complexity. They have to give Sonny more than just being a side kick to Will, he needs to interact with others. Probably they really need to bring on a more dynamic love interest for Will so it will be hot and not a snoozefest.

You have dialog this week that says EJ would rather be with Nicole, but she doesnt want to talk or see him. Sami is his second choice. Sami's isnt really EJ's choice either. Rafe has been taken totally out of the equation.

EJ does not even think Sami is an option right now, how exactly is he supposed to choose Nicole over her?

I mean the man point blank refuses to be out of Sami's life, not even willing to leave when Nicole gives him the chance to reunite, yet he chooses her over Sami.....NAH!
EJ should never be out of Sami's life. They have 2 children.

EJ should never be out of Nicole's life. They will have a child.

Ej may love both if them. Just one more than the other. IMO he's SHOWN love toward both of them.

Choosing would be hard for anyone in this situation. Sami does have more advantage in that she never denied that her kids belonged to him and family seems to mean alot to him.
...except for that one time when Sami hid her pregnancy and went into witness protection and pretended like she'd adopted Sydney/Grace so that EJ would never find out about her and never be a part of her life.

Or the times she prevented EJ from having any contact with the children at all as a form of blackmail for her uncovering bad things he had done (and vice-versa).

All part of the Ejami merry-go-round - one of them gets the upper hand, gets full custody, and denies the other one the chance to see the kids at all.

Yep, family is definitely number one for Sami. ;)

SID is known as not as reliable. I asked because I've also seen tweets where AZ is working with JS, along with AS and GG. So saying AZ is not working AT ALL with JS is not accurate.

Yep. That's why I don't get too comfy with ejami because I don't like them and they always find a way to somehow ruin them.

With the explosion that just happened don't be so comfortable thinking that Ejole will have a baby in the first place. Did any one here heard about a casting call for infants two months ago? Anyone? Cause if you didn't than don't be so sure there will be a baby in the first place. The only time you can be sure is if the actors actually say there will be a baby, not just a pregnancy. And since there haven't been any picture at all we don't know what will happen to Nikki. She can have the baby or she can't and since you're not the writers and you didn't post this from a reliable source than you can't write things as fact.
