If they were to ever recast I think Kelly Sullivan (GH) could probably do a great job with the role.

I hope AS takes some acting classes while she is gone as well. I haven't been liking her acting for quite sometime.

Can someone answer this for me:

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!
Yes, Days has to be renewed first for Ali (or anyone else) to keep working past April. We are still awaiting word on the show's fate. Her contract cycles end each December, so from her perspective, she's going to work probably for the rest of the year. If the show is not renewed, then she and the rest of the cast would be fired in April and get paid until each of their last 13-week cycles end in May/June/July.

Fan of EJ+ABBY!

I am a bit sad actually. She is amazing beautiful actress with a character I have grown to love.

I hope this doesn't mean James is also ending his contract, I would be devastated if so. Two favourite character leaving, I couldn't take that.

I'm just wondering were all this panic is coming from that the show is doomed. hold ur horses ppl
I'm not panicking. AS/Sami leaving or staying makes no difference to me. I'm just calling it as I honestly see it. And to clarify, again, maybe I am way off base. Nothing is for certain. But I really don't have a very good vibe (for the show) about this news.

Hell no to Kelly Sullivan joining DOOL. She's a terrible actress! Then again, so is Sweeney, so it would be a consistent recasting. But NO NO NO.

Sami has been shoved down viewers' throats for years. This is very much a character that needs a LONG rest. I say they kill her off, keeping it open ended. If Sweeney ever wants to return down the line, she can.

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.
I only asked one other time and received no response.
Because no one has the information to conclusively know whether the show was renewed or not.

Okay, thanks. Perhaps she has inside word and that's why she's saying she'll work on the show until the end of the year. Then again, maybe she's saying that knowing that the show is facing the ax and doesn't want to cause a suspicions by not saying that she'll be on through the end of the year. Too late now either way. lol

It's interesting that she didn't wait to announce it until after a decision had been made by NBC and announced. I hope she got the okay before making the big reveal.

Sami being killed off is the only way they could retire the character and give AS the sendoff she needs (along with the proper handwringing post-death drama/trama her death would set into motion.) Getting shipped off to some foreign land is boring, anti-climatic and non-soapy. AS giving the writers a whole year to plan her exit allows the show to do something big. Anything else is a missed opportunity ratings grab. Maybe she dies in a noble death like Lexi (but then there's no chance of her coming back)? Maybe she "drowns" but they never find the body -- and it's Nick behind it getting some poetic justice? There are multitude ways for Sami to go and still come back later. . .

I was asking about the show's contract. Jason47 gave me the info I was looking for.

I hope not! James is my favourite guy on the show and I think they've given him pretty good material in the last while so I think he should be ok. I think EJ leaving would be a much bigger disaster than Sami leaving tbh.

I actually like Kate, but now with JJ added to the roster it's probably hard to write Jennifer off.

We're doomed. :'(

Okay, I'm just going to go ahead and say it. Since Sami's leaving, can we PLEASE bring back Belle or Carrie? Their absences are GLARING and I need Marlena to have a daughter in Salem!
Her leaving better be more story and air time for Deidre and Drake. And yes to bringing back Belle and Carrie. Would also love to see the return of Claire. The Blacks need to be better represented on Days.

I haven't read thru all of the pages yet so I don't know if this has been discussed, but WHY did she announce that she was leaving? She said that she would be on the show for the whole year, so why not keep her mouth shut until later. Does she want massive twitter campaigns of crazed Sami fans begging for her to stay and get a big fat raise?

Anyway, I will not shed any tears at her leaving. She has monopolized this show for way too long.

:cheer: :cheer: Adios Sami :yahoo: :yahoo:

Yeah, I don't know why everyone is announcing things SO far in advance. Camila and Chandler announcing they were leaving in 2014 back in June 2013 at the Emmys. Ali now announcing a year ahead of time of her departure. Jen Lilley announcing Guy Wilson as the new Will days after he was cast. Seems like I'm the only one who can keep anything secret for months and months anymore!! I could have announced all the details of the Christmas episodes back in August, but I waited until November to start slowly filling in the details. It's best to keep most news closer to the episode's airdate, especially now that they are taping almost 5 months in advance.

I am shocked by this news, wow! Having said that It's about damn time. Ali I don't think would leave the show without something else planned. You can't be a workaholic and just flip the switch. She has something for 2015 I bet. DAYS will be fine without Same Brady.

Hmm, interesting, anyway I have grown up with Sami and seen many sl with her ​​which was really entertaining so she's obviously a great character on this show. Some may hate her, some love her, and some may not care, but I absolutely believe that it is a big loss for the show that she disappears. Another thing wonder if JS will also leaving after his contract expires? And quite crass the show will go on?
