Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
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.
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.
Likewise.

Days would have to have been renewed for her to keep doing the show until the end of 2014, right? Isn't the show's contract up before then? Confused. Set me straight!

I'm no Sami/AS fan but this reeks of doom for Days, IMO.
I don't know. I mean, eventually it really will be the end. But the show has also weathered a lot of harbingers of doom.
I agree. I think it's kind of an insult to all the talented actors on the show (vets and newbies) when people start assuming the show will be cancelled because one actor is leaving. I heard this same kind of talk when JS was in contract negotiations but he ended up staying.

Big business decisions about cancelling a show aren't about one actor in an ensemble cast. It's about whether it still makes money --- OR if it's replacement will lose less money.

I can see DAYS being renewed through a 50th season, and then the network calling it a day. But as it stands, the show is doing better than it has in years both ratings and even awards/recognition wise. It stands a better chance at being renewed now than it did two years ago, IMO.
It wasn't my intention to insult any of the other actors, or their fans. It's just my honest observation about the whole thing. I really hope that I am wrong though.

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!!!
I didn't want to dance on Sami's grave so to speak but when I saw this my first thought actually was maybe they will keep going with EJ and Abby.I really hope so but I will say no more on that subject since I don't want to stray too far from the actual topic.

I'm just wondering were all this panic is coming from that the show is doomed. hold ur horses ppl
It's not really a panic, just general observations and speculation based on what we've seen over the years. Love her or hate her, NBC seems to consider Ali as THE face of Days.

I don't envision AS having much success in movies or primetime TV. However, I wouldn't be surprised if NBC gives AS a radio show or a lifestyle show on BRAVO. Anyway, I suspect that AS will only be gone from DAYS for about a year or so. I bet she comes back after taking time off to spend with her family and/or pursue her other options.

Also, once Sami leaves, Marlena won't have a daughter in Salem, so it would be the perfect time to bring back Martha Madison's Belle! Make it happen, DAYS!

Sure AS may draw some viewers for DAYS, but I think DAYS will be fine without her.

We've already discussed it. We don't know. It sounds like it, but she could just be making an assumption. You don't have to keep posting the same things.
