Is stepping in front of "Daddy"'s gun really a big sacrifice? I mean would "Daddy" really shoot her?
Considering he didn't even put the gun down but instead continue to aim the gun at his daughter who knows what he would do. The fact he didn't waver at all and Lucas of all people even told him that was his daughter shows Roman's not caring about anything other than getting EJ whether Sami's hurt or EJ's innocent doesn't matter.
I really like this cliffhanger. Tons of shit is happening! This week felt like a kettle boiling and then all of a sudden the top blows off and heads towards your head! :laugh: I like it! I love the effects! good stuff!
I wish I could care about Madison but I don't. Sry. :shrug:
My heart dropped for Abby, Nicole and Sami :ermm: even though I know they will be ok. Keep holding on to your girl, EJ!
I guess I'll have to officially give my ride or die badge to Sami. She went through great lengths to get EJ to escape the cops and even put herself in the line of fire.
Ok, fine in lieu of lack of funds I got her a t-shirt. Same difference! Posted Image
Ooh this is good! A lot happening. Is Nicole losing her baby??? I don't understand why Lucas is at the warehouse. I love that EJ insists on saying goodbye to his kids. I love Will and Sami working together! And Ejami :wub::wub::cheer::cheer: . Sami so clearly loves EJ. I can't wait to see the aftermath in 2 weeks!
Shes an actress it's her job to promote herself. :shrug:
That's great. I just don't like her. I don't think she's a good actress, I don't think she's a good spokesperson, I don't think she's a good anything. Everything she does seems disingenuous and desperate and phony (see video below) and she just doesn't appeal to me.
Who else have as many projects as Alison does on Days and get a chance to go on talk shows that a lot of people watch, not just small interviews that a few people will see, as she does.
That's because she's a sellout and a media whore.
The others aren't that desperate.
Then call me desperate and a media whore because I would do the same thing. Life is short. If she wants to do all of these things then why the hell not? If you're interested in writing a book? Do it. Create a t.v. show? Go right ahead. Jog a marathon and talk about healthy living? Cool with me! I wish I had the ability to do half of the things she's doing.

The cliffhanger sounds good in terms of the effects and whatnot, but there's nothing about it that really excites me or makes me feel like I have to tune in after the Olympics to find out what happens next. That final scene with Sami dangling over the catwalk... really? I suppose it's a cliffhanger in the literal sense of the word but does anyone actually believe she's going to drop when the show comes back in two weeks? Furthermore, does anyone care? I don't.
I DO I DO I DO. i care a great deal and can not wait to see what happened....

I am actually shocked that so many people here still love Sami. It baffles me. I cannot explain it. To each his own, I guess.
i think its became more like as habit now of those who loved her character until 2007 she start written slowly bad. while the other half that like sami since she get all the stories and the airtime in last few years if like her or not she is noticeable you can not ignore her. there were very people in show even geting noticeable writing.
ol, please don't speak for the rest of us. i for one love sami no if and but. i loved her from day one. loved her and stuck by her through the good times and bad ones like character assassination lol and lousy pairings. hey she is the main reason i still watch the show. i think she ROCKS.

Ali's always been a bad actress, but back in the day her phoniness and lack of charisma actually worked for the character. She was supposed to come across as phony and unlikable. Now that they've changed the character, however, Ali's shortcomings as an actress are even more apparent. Watching her play this flawed heroine/object of men's desires is like watching a little girl parade around in her mothers heels and pearls trying to be a big girl. It just isn't believable.
l could not disagree more. AS is an excellent actress. very talented. it might not be your cup of tea. but to each its own. sami is a layered character. the character has evolved over the years. she would not be able to stay the same for almost 2 decades. she has grown a lot as an actress and sami has also grown as a character. sami is not one note like some of the characters. she is grey. she has multiple layers. she can be a bitch on wheels, yet be a loving mother while being loyal to those she loves to a fault. AS has been able to bring out the different facets of sami to perfection. AS would not have been able to pull this off if she was not amazing. that is why she is center stage unlike the other one note character/actors.

Wow I guess I find myself totally against what people are saying here. I think Ali Sweeney is by far the best actress on the show and the prettiest. Chloe used to be the prettiest but no one compares to her . Ali is even better working with james as they have such a hot chemistry that I could watch them read a phone book. To me its a pleasure to see James in scenes where he shows EJ's vulnerability. Thought the cliff hanger was a C as I wanted more suspense and like most people said it happened so fast and was hard to see who might actually be in danger. I doubt Sami will fall but she will probably have to be on the road with EJ now as every knows she is helping him escape and could be arrested as an accessory. I'm sure she might just as soon go as she will have a major headache from the blast and listening to Lucas whine on an on is hard to take when you feel well. Glad to see Nicole might lose the baby, can't stand her
i so agree with you. i love sami and i like AS as an actress. IMO, she is very talented and her success proves it. she has made name forself beyond DOOL. i could not be happier for her. AS has brought sami to life for always 2 decades and has kept me on the edge of my seats through the years in spite of bad writing really bad writing. i am glad she is center stage along with james because she is a STAR JMO.
I watch for her and james. these 2 are magic together and on their own. i get people hate her, but they can not stop talking about her or obsessing about her. she must be doing something right because if they are not talking about you, you are not relevant.
as for the character of sami, she is my all time favorite. i grew up with sami and she keeps me on my toes wondering what crazy thing she is going to do next. there are time i have wanted to strangle her or shake some sense into her, but mostly i love the character. at least she makes me feel something unlike other characters/actors.

We need to email this to Days… its so spot on
Go ahead and email this to the people at Days and see how much credence they will give you. Alison Sweeney have been on the show since 1993 and she ain't going anywhere. It's because of Alison that Days is getting advertising outside of NBC and people on talk shows love her. So go ahead and get her fired( if you can :eyeroll: ) and see how long the show will last when people stop watching the show and they can't get new viewers cause none of the other actors do as much promoting for Days as she does.
SHe doesn't promote Days. She goes on other shows to promote her other projects. You know who got the best promotion for Days? Patrick Muldoon.
She definately does not promote Days. I love talk shows, and have seen her on many. Days, if mentioned at all, is as an afterthought. I don't know about PM contribution but I follow AS appearances, magazine features, etc. and the talk is usually about other projects.
I think its great that AS is so good at self promotion considering she is in a business where the better at it you are the more gigs you get. I notice JS is finally starting to do the same thing in order to get himself noticed. I admire Ali alot for being a great business woman.

PM is the reason the show got some of those mainstream magazine features.

Psssssst...AS...botox...it works! (Just dont go crazy with it like LK and DH.)

My comments about Alison Sweeney? No. Having an opinion about an actress is well within the rules of this board. That said, I can remove my comment about the screenshot in your banner if you took offense to it. I didn't mean to insult your banner making skills, but if you took it that way I'll be happy to delete it. It shouldn't be too hard to find another picture of her looking stupid that I can ridicule.

Well, if they finally wrote Roman into an actual story just to have him be a part of propping Ejami in such a ludicrous way then I know I am done with this show because obviously tptp have no boundaries where Ejami is concerned. No way would tha man shoot his own daughter to get EJ. Lucas or Rafe would not even do that!
I think AS is awesome. She's really maximizing the opportunities she's been given and created more of her own. The feminist in me starts to get irritated when savvy, ambitious women are criticized for doing the same things that men are admired for doing.

Men are criticized for this, too. Most actors are, and a lot of the criticism comes from other actors.

I think she's AMAZING! Total girl crush on her! :wub: (Ali the real person, not Sami the character)
