Days needs to start looking at the ratings (the one thing that can't be spammed) and spend less time on twitter and message boards.
I think they have; EJOLE and SAFE did not bring it, so why not go with the one that has yet to get a real shot.

I always see this line about how EJ and Sami have never been given a chance, and I don't understand it. Do you mean a chance as in Sami ever admitting to loving him or of getting hitched or what? Because I see six years of focus as a chance. I see reading those awful Santeen letters as a chance. I see sitting in a stair well and making out as a chance. I see Sami living with EJ and them trying to keep their hands off each other as a chance. But it has all led to nothing and no growth for either character. For me, it's too late for that. We have two characters riddled with holes here. Speaking for myself, I can never take seriously two characters who have spent six years moving back and forth and around the block without rhyme or reason. I loved them for a while, but then I realized they are soulless and groundless, and now I just feel annoyed when I see either one of them.
They were one of the ONLY couples in Days history to be given a story aside from 'theirs' to solidify them and that STILL didn't work.....Santeen was a travesty...but that wasn't about anyone else BUT EJ AND SAMI....they build a side story and in the end made John a Dimera to screw it ALL UP, used the same actors to portray different characters and they both were leaders in epi counts that summer and Days broke record lows that summer in the ratings....I'm not bullshitting....why TPTB can't see that is beyond me.....they have held this soap in a standstill of suck for 6 years....at this point if they are going to put them together, do it and ship them the fuck off screen.....
Exactly. Give them their chance, if that translates to a happily-ever-after and sending them away.

ETA: I have no idea if Santeen was a flop or not. All I know is that I thought it was laughably ridiculous. Though I did like Sami/EJ back then. Over it.

Hmm if Nicole goes into labour when we come back from the cliffhanger, I don't see EJ even being around her since James said he is not working with AZ. If this baby survives, I don't expect EJ to be apart of that story until later. Cuz.. right now his life revolves around Sami, and being framed for murder.
Yeah, if you're talking about the SOD interview he gave when he bumped into AZ in the DAYS hallway...that was March. You can see by the clothes she was wearing, those scenes already happened.

There's been tweets where JS, GG, AZ, AS are back to working together. Yup, same thing...bet EJole are going to start getting more scenes together. Nicole is going to be back to thinking of EJ and vice versa. Same thing will happen for SAFE. ITS THE SAME STORY.

Did James and Chandler do a joint interview together for EJ & Will? That's interesting if they did. NBC knows what is grabbing media attention and what to use.

Wonder if Chandler knows you can go to the writers and tell them how to write your stories.
I don't think so. I'm pretty sure this weeks and last week's "articles" were really just a compilation of quotes from old interviews. That's why none of its relevant or interesting.

Holy cow. I don't care if Ejami are slow or fast...it is just more of the same old, same old over and over and over and over and over and over again. We all know exactly what's going to happen here (as has already been mentioned). Ejami will get close, and then something will happen to tear them apart and somebody will steal a kid or shoot somebody in the head.

I like PROGRESSION in my soap characters. By all means, let history and past problems guide their current stupid decisions, but the fact that Sami is still essentially the same idiotic kid she was 20 years ago is an issue for me (along with her man hands and the fact that every man around her, including, unbelievably, the suave, smooth, charming, handsome, rich and awesome EJ, is totally and completely head over heels in love with her). The fact that neither one of them sees how miserable they make one another and how much happier they were with other people is ridiculous too.

I don't see the chemistry between them. I wish I did - it would make them more palatable. I understand that this is probably due to my longstanding Sami loathing (which has only increased over the years as Days has pathetically attempted to make her Marlena, Jr., which I will never believe, no matter how hard they try). Ejami never get better. They never grow. They never move on and change.

It was one of the reasons I enjoyed Ejole so much - not only did they have great chemistry, but it seemed as if EJ had finally (FINALLY) moved on and realized that Nicole was the person he was meant to be with.

I'm just not down for Ejami Round 847.

Yeah, it's pretty obvious that these questions were answered a while back. Example: Rafester--we saw him this week with his flashback of Sami. He's not THAT mad at her now! :cheers:

And there is the recent interview with Ari saying that Nicole still loves EJ. If Ari thought EJ was going with Sami, why wouldn't she say Nicole is looking for love?... :cheer:

And no one can forget about the LUMIMAGIC!! :popcorn: :popcorn: :wub:

Anyway, the new writing isn't starting for two weeks. Thats when we start to see how things are really going to go! :cheer:

There's a line in an old song that, for me, sums up Days:

"Second verse, same as the first"

It's all the same stuff--for me, THIS is the problem--it's ALWAYS about the same characters and it's about the SAME storyline. Again, for me, this is OLD and I want something new.

I keep thinking there's more to this show besides Sami, EJ, Nicole, Rafe and so on.......

Just frustrated with this show--completely......

I love to hear how fondly James and Chandler always talk about EJILL :wub: I hope as they move into different sl they maintain some of the bond :wub: EJILL is too good to let go.

And it is great that EJAMI is getting the slow build, James is right, after everything it cannot be rushed and the lead up to them being a couple really is the best part of the ride. So I am strapped in and waiting, its been six years in the making :cheer: :cheer: :cheer:
Agreed! It is great that James and Chandler both love the EJILL stuff. I do hope they keep EJILL going in some capacity since it is too good to let go. :popcorn:

I really enjoyed seeing Sami and Will working together to help EJ escape! Will is his mother's son and I love it! It would be so good to see EJ, Sami, & Will continue to work, scheme & be deceptive together!

At the same time, EJAMI can have their romance and Will can have a romance with whoever. I can't let go of my hope for a CHILL romance :embarrassed: , but I cant discount WilSon yet.

LOVE that EJAMI is getting a slow build! After waiting SIX years to see a good romance for EJAMI, I've thoroughly enjoyed their renewed friendship, flirtation, and support for each other :wub: Ready to take the romance to the next level though! :sex4:

Im really going to miss EJAMI and EJILL scenes these next 2 weeks!!!! :tears:

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepThe Sami I know, would never forgive EJ for the things he has done. And EJ, well he isn't forgiving either, unless there is something in it for him.
That's what makes this storyline compelling to me. EJ and Sami, two selfish people, with bad history (though not all of it is bad), are selfless and forgiving for each other. There is redemption through love.
Nothing spells love like taking a gun and shooting someone in cold blood...
True but nothing says love and cowardice like killing someone and then you and mommy setting up your true love to take the blame and sit in jail for months until its time to get your lethal injection. Nothing says love like getting drunk , driving drunk and then getting in an accident with your son in the car hurting him.
First of all when that happened lucas wasn't in love with Sami, she was his enemy. Lucas didn't frame Sami, Kate did and sure it was shitty that Lucas didn't confess or anything but he came really close on at least 3 times. He demanded that Kate find someone else to take the blame or he would end up confessing, and in the end Kate knew that if she didn't have Lucas leave town he would stop the execution... Which he did anyway. Contrast that with what Sami did? She shot him went back home to fuck Rafe over and over and then she attempted to kill him
Again when she pulled the plug. Then she even said she would do it all again if she could and watch it while eating popcorn.

We always get the same stuff from them. Remember when they both "went to bat" for EJ and Sami? What happened there....shot to the head...yeah, how romantic. I bet the "slow build," is "no build." The SAME DAMN THING.

Exactly. At the end of the day, they are still just the actors. They don't get to make the decisions, and even though they fight, it doesn't mean they get what they want.

In any event, I'm just glad they still care enough to fight for stuff like this.
