I'll miss Sami. She annoyed me at times over the years and this might be an ensemble show, but she has always been a big part of the Days that I grew up with and it's not going to be the same show without her. That said, although this is completely unexpected, I'm not really that upset that AS is going. Wish her the best and hope she's not jumping ship because she knows something the fans don't. I don't want Sami to die, though. I want her to finally get her perfect wedding and happy ending.
The problem with Sami getting happy ending that they will fire who she end up with and also with kids stuff with problem to give her exist
Exactly, unless they bring Brandon back short-term.
What she do with the kids will she kidnap from their fathers and they will never see them again

I have watched soaps on and off for the last 20 years. I grew up with her (we r about the same age). But I have to ask y'all, don't u find it a little weird she gives 1 year notice to the FANS? I understand to the writers/TPTB. I don't know... whether you like it or not, she has been a huge part of the show forever and I'm surprised they would let her tell us this far out. I have to wonder if this doesn't say something about days and their scheduling, where they were taking her storyline, or future of days.
If this is normal, please correct me! Lol. I was just really surprised about the timing! I may be just reading too much into it!

I wish her all the best in the future and will miss her!

I loved to hate Sami in the 90's and early 00's, and I'm sad that we won't have more Lumi moments.

THAT being said, I am thrilled! And relieved. Sami has taken up way too much space on the show, it's become exhausting to watch. I'm ready for others to shine.

Yeah, what happens to Johnny, Ali, and Sydney? I hope they at least leave Ali and Johnny in Salem. Those kids are great. They can give Sydney to Nicole, who should rightfully take her place as Queen.

It would be the perfect time for Eileen to return to reclaim her Salem Empire when AS leaves.

LOL, yeah I know how the soap happy ending works and I'm okay with it.

And as much as I've joked about wanting Sami to die and as much as I enjoy seeing her angry, now that all the chips are down and she's leaving, it's clear that I'm too attached to her to want her to have anything less than a perfect ending. I think she's the only character that I feel that way about.

Wow. Just wow. I'm in the camp thrilled about this as her departure opens up a huge area of the canvas for other characters/stories. I used to love to hate her but now I think this departure is going to be a breath of fresh air for Days. Would love to see Carrie or Belle (or hopefully both!) come back to fill the void.

Maybe I'm dead wrong but I still believe Days is going to be renewed at least up until their 50th Anniversary. The soap genre is doing well these days and we are right on the heels of GH's 50th Anniversary stuff which got a lot of good press for ABC. And the shows ABC put on to replace One Life and All My Children either got cancelled (The Revolution) or aren't doing that well. I'll be gobsmacked if Days doesn't get renewed.

I do find it a little odd Ali is announcing this so far ahead. I wish actors wouldn't announce so far ahead when they are leaving especially on a show that tapes now almost 5 months ahead. Kind of makes it hum-drum when we actually see their last episode.

Well her leaving will certainly help in the budget cutting department!

Sad to hear this, I love Sami. Show is just not going to be the same without her. I think whether or not she is "killed" off will depend on the future of the show. If the show is going to end in the next year or two, she may get a happy ending. If TPTB think the show is going to be around for another 5+ years, then my guess is she will be killed in dramatic style (with no body), allowing her to return in the future.

I have a feeling this is going to become the Abgail show once she is gone.

Earlier in the daily thread I said that I couldn't imagine what would ever make me watch this show regularly again. I now know the answer to that question.
Amen to THAT!

Shared custody does exist. She doesn't need to take the kids to Switzerland. She could take them to West Salem.

My ideal exit for her is to send Sami to prison. Then, the kids can be around and Alison/Sami can return for guest spots as long as the show's around. Small doses of Sami could be good in the future.

Sami is a legacy, born on screen character who has been central to several classic plots - but she was overused and I think it will be ultimately good for the show if other characters are allowed to become central to the show.

AZ can now be the reformed bad girl character.

It's certainly not the routine, but actually I think it will help Days. There are a A LOT off fans who've been turned off by the Sami Brady Show over the past few years who will return, just because they know the end is near. EJabby and Lucas already brought me back in the last month, but if that hadn't happened, I would have returned after hearing this news.

I'll miss AS, but I hope this means EJ and Abby will be paired long-term.

They don't have to be long-term for me. But I would like to see them explored. Lots of storyline potential. Plus they have some amazing chemistry!

AS definitely has a clear plan in all of this. I really don't think she's simply "just leaving". She has either gotten a juicy deal from NBC, either a pay increase on Biggest Loser or the host or another job in another show, or then she just feels confident enough to go try it on her own. But I don't think at all for one minute that she is just leaving because she wants to spend time with her children. Not when she looks better than ever and feels probably on top of the world.

Holy Fucking Shit....I never thought I would see this day come to pass.

I thought I would be over the moon, but I'm kind of sad and am VERY worried about DAYS renewal now!
The renewal of this show is not dependant on one person, and certainly not on AS. This is an ensemble show and has gone through many, many exits far more important than this one, and yet survived. That's not the way soaps and businesses work these days anyway. Once upon a time they would have pulled the plug on Dallas without J.R. This isn't the case anymore. On the new Dallas, J.R. died and the show continued on and is thriving. Y&R has lost and is losing some of it's most major and central characters, yet that show (no matter how shitty is actually is) is going on, their ratings are rising (inexplicably) and the show was just renewed to 2017.
