New show as what? I don't know about the remainder of the list but #1 and "movies" as a new career plan are clearly off the table.She cannot act.I cannot imagine a show concept that could play to her skillset that viewers would watch for any length of time.I don't watch Biggest Loser but even the snippets I have seen do not impress.
Oh believe me, I'm not saying a new show or a movie is a good idea. But it could make sense. NBC has her hosting one show and starring in another. What's to say they wouldn't try something else with her? As for movies, Ali apparently thinks she can be a fitness guru, working parent advocate, reality show hostess, daytime actress, and now fiction author. So she wouldn't also try to break into film?
When it comes to movies.AS would be "dropping her bucket down a dry well" to quote Jed Clampett.I remember last year she was in some TV movie on the Hallmark channel.I didn't watch it because I don't give up hours of my life that I cannot get back without a reasonable expectation,it will be worth doing so.I don't recall any buzz around that foray into movies for her.

I do want to see Sami go out with a bang. It would be a great murder mystery and not to mention, I don't want us to lose Johnny or Allie or Sydney.

If Alison Sweeney wants Sami to leave Breaking Bad style, you better bet they'll make it happen. Even Renee Jones got to dictate how Lexie left the show... certainly they would let Ali choose Sami's departure...
How did Breaking Bad end?
I'm pretty sure more than one of the main characters died, guns blazing.

This is a huge blow for Days of Our Lives. Like Sami or not


I don't think so. When Ali was on maternity leave last time, DAYS was just fine without her.
She was never on maternity leave.
Well, technically she was, but with pre-tapes and post-tapes, she never missed much time, and has only been absent for two full months (April 1995 and September 2001) during her time on the show.

From my monthly stats file...
Spoiler: click to toggle

She pre-taped, so she wouldn't be missing during her maternity leave, but then she didn't actually take a maternity leave. She went back to TBL before Days, though. Since it happened to coincide with Christmas, she was gone a little longer than how it sounded initially.

And, let's not forget about the fact that she's releasing a new novel that she must've spent quite a lot of time writing.
LOL - you're assuming she wrote it. She didn't even write her own blogs, and her "Mommy Diet" book had a ghostwriter.
I probably should stop reading now.I am beginning to see parallels between AS and Sami which is not a good thing.

I feel bad that I am excited to hear this news LOL! I used to love Sami back in the day but its just become overkill in the last couple of years. During the EJabby week when she was away on business I have to say her absence was not noticeable. The rest of the show was still good so I'm confident Days will be just fine without her. Realistically she probably does need a break to spend time with her family and who knows somewhere down the line she may decide to make a return.

What excites me is that this means EJabby will most likely have a legitimate shot at coupledom!!!

So like, obviously she's not leaving to spend more time with her kids. She hasn't cared much about spending time with them in the past.
You do not know how much time she spends with her kids. Being career oriented doesn't mean she doesn't care about her kids.
no one said she doesn't care about her kids.
there are only so many hours in a day, & if she's working almost 5 days a week on Days, plus filming BL multiple times a week (including weekends), doing magazine shoots every few months, putting out books, doing commercials, etc., how many hours can she really spend with her kids? The point is that she's been doing this boatload of projects for years & years, and is only now stating she wants to spend more time with her kids. Why hasn't she asked for a decrease in her guarantee? Why hasn't she given the BL voiceover duties to someone else? etc. There are many things she could've done over the past few years to decrease her workload, thus increasing the physical hours she has in her day to spend with her kids.
read the quote I quoted "she hasn't cared much about spending time w/ them in the past." The implication has always been made that she is a bad mother because she is so busy. The implication is something many working moms face all the time. Personally, I don't care how many hours in a day she spends with her kids. There's all kinds of ways to parent. I'm sure "spending time w/ kids" is code for something else but still just because she's busy doesn't mean she's a bad mother.

Ha! That Hallmark Channel movie is one where I believe AS was GREG VAUGHN's love interest! Gross.
She really has sampled all the dudes in her age range on that show. I didn't watch. Too weird.

I would say wait and see before we do these doom and gloom predictions. I for one think days will be renewed.

If Sami were to be recast, which I highly doubt, I'd accept Terri Conn (ex Katie, ATWT)

I'm no Sami/AS fan but this reeks of doom for Days, IMO.
I definitely don't think it is a good sign. No renewal information and now their biggest star is leaving. I hope we get more information soon.
Exactly!

Whether anybody likes it or not, Sami has been a central villainess/character since 1993. And AS does have drawing power (of some kind). Besides, her farts are like oxygen to TIIC. How can they possibly survive without their heads stuck up her butt? Seriously though, when even she wants off of the show, I know that's not good - for the show.

So Austin Peck's real wife would be playing his former fake wife on Days??

The point is that Ali herself is saying that she's leaving because her kids are growing up & she wants to spend more time with them. However, she's been working ridiculous amounts for years now.
I'm not trying to bash Ali, & I don't think Ellie's comment was meant to bash Ali or her good/bad mom status.

Every comment doesn't have to be taken so seriously, or need someone to defend the other POV. Sometimes a comment is simply a comment based on what's been presented.

Then Austin and Sami can have a real go at it. Who hasn't waited for that? :D
