I wonder if NBC is holding off the announcement til February and will announce it during the Olympics. In theory they should have a large viewing audience then. |

Mitch I dont think Sweeney would decided to "leave" a show that is only going to tape for a couple more months when her contract isnt even up til December 2014 (not that she wont stop taping before then should the show decide to release her early) I also dont think TPTB would let her announce an exit if they had any indication of a cancellation. It is quite obvious this show is looking into the future beyond 2014. This may be the first of many changes quite frankly. I could see them keeping only a select few on contract and have everyone else come and go (ex. reoccuring or short term contracts for story arcs). |

When did this freaking show become Days of our Sami Brady or Days of our EJAMI ...damn, that many years ago?? :rolleyes: If James Scott left because of this he's not the actor I thought he could be!! And I don't believe for one moment that this freaking woman is the reason, the only reason people tune in to this show. Well I hope not, now if it was AZ, nah, not even she is the nails holding this ship together. Reminds me of the banner from the Safe fans, with the titanic sinking.

If Ali hasn't taken an extended vacation in 21 years, that is on her. If she didn't have her hands in a dozen different projects at once, she could have taken plenty of vacations. She gets no sympathy from me on that one. |

I am devastaded by this news...are you telling me that I have to ff AS' mediocre acting for another year or a year and a half at worst??? At least there is enough time to make fun about her outfits and hairdo! Good luck to her and all of her future endeavours...I really hope some of her energy goes to spending time with her kids! |

I just realised, I will never see the kids grow up and make life a hell to mommy Sami. That makes me sad. I was hoping to see they kids grow up and have her deal with having Dimera children.

I'll be sad to see her go as well. As much flak as AS gets.......I think it's safe to say Samantha Gene Brady has entertained MOST of us at least ONCE during the last 20 years! She sure has me. I could watch Kate and Sami tear each other apart for hours!

:hail: :hail: :hail: over the years fans have endured their favorite actors/actressess, character/characters leaving this show... and still the show survived but say AS is leaving and it's the show's coming to an end, when will they announce it- time. This is an assemble cast, not a main actor and minor actors show. Over the years they've put certain actors on top, and IMO it's damaged the potential of this show. |

Has anyone said the show wouldn't survive without her? Because there's a difference between saying that and wondering if she's leaving because the show isn't going to be around much longer. |

Melissa Reeves did the same thing, you know, she left the show to spend time with her children. I can see AS doing that, and maybe, like MR, returning later on. This show, IMO, has been needing a Sami break, I'm happy to see it. What I wanted for Sami was a return to her former strength before the incident, but she seems to dwindle further and further down into a character I just don't care to see anymore. I think the show will continue on and maybe we'll see what this show could really become. |

I'm definitely going to miss AS and Sami. I wish Sami and Lucas would get a HEA but I want Bryan to stay with the show. |

MR isn't AS. The woman was around for 21 uninterrupted years. She taped extra scenes so she'd still be around during her maternity leave. We've seen her take on more and more projects over the years without ever quitting any of them. Maybe she has decided it's time and there's no deeper issues at play. Time will tell, but there's a reason a lot of people assumed she'd be there until the end. Edited by six, Jan 21 2014, 05:27 PM.

I doubt they would recast, that would be pretty stupid. She is giving them a year notice to wrap her character up nicely. |

No way. I don't even see Lucas being recast-able. |

I'll miss the character of Sami, they'll need to replace a bad girl, troublemaker. |
