If he doesn't leave though, can we get the EJucas 'Odd Couple' roommate situation? Two single dads raising kids, snarking at each other, dating again, etc? Yeah. I'd watch that.
OMG, I now NEED this to happen. Sami "dies." Lucas and EJ decide that the twins need to be raised together, but neither of them trust the other to do it, so the five of them move in together. :wub2: :wub2: :wub2:

This would be a great time for Syd-ole. ;)

Actually, I'd love it if Sami managed to get sole custody of the kids from EJ, died, and made Eric their guardian. Of course, she couldn't have known that Ericole was going to happen. Then Nicole could be the stepmother to those kids again from a totally different side.

I fail to see how Ali leaving automatically means James is leaving. It's not like James only likes working with Ali. He's been pretty vocal about enjoying working with his other female co-stars as well. :shrug:
I don't think it automatically means anything. But JS has often said that he plans on leaving acting in the very near future. He had difficult contract negotiations a couple years ago. And he's said on more than one occasion that he wants EJ and Sami to end up together. Put that all together and I don't think it's weird that people are at least discussing the possibility of him leaving too. I still think it's more likely that he stays rather than goes, but it's not like the speculation is baseless.
He said as recently as DOD that he thought Ejami deserved the big wedding & deserved to stay together.

He also said in ATL that he was good for about another year.

I think there's plenty of reason to spec about him leaving too.

I'd say a 50/50 chance.

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 was an avid Days watcher back when MR left very suddenly & her decision
Involved more than leaving to spend time with her family .
It was not at all the same situation as AS 's departure.
What has always astonished me is MR was taken to court for breach of contract by NBC &
Corday yet she has been welcomed back, guess they didn't hold a grudge

Aw, I'll miss Sami. Sure she's annoying a lot of this time, but I usually find her entertaining.

Good luck to AS.
This can't be said enough. I know a lot of people are overjoyed, but I still find Sami fairly entertaining and a very important part of the show and think that she would work very well as a supporting character (she hasn't been pimped out lately like she had been).

Does anyone think that they will recast the role?
As much as I haven't cared for Sami since the whole griefsex debacle, I would never want her character to be recast. Love her or hate her, AS is Sami Brady and to recast her character would be a huge mistake on Days' part.

Wow, I'm surprised to hear that she's actually leaving. For some reason I thought it was a stupid rumor. Funny how I found out about it by reading an article about it on my phone. Anyways, I'm sure Days will be just fine without Sami just like NCIS has fared well without Ziva. If NCIS can still stay on top even with a huge change in the main cast and if L&O: SVU can still keep on going strong 15 seasons later, I don't see why Days can't do the same.

Actually, I was just wondering now: what has Days done that has made it still able to stay on air with all of the other soaps being cancelled left and right that has been on air probably for as long or even half as long?

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
I'll miss the character of Sami, they'll need to replace a bad girl, troublemaker.
I think that's what they are trying to do with Theresa and maybe even Abby. It's too bad because they have a natural in Ciara but if the show lasts I hope they take her darker because that little girl is too creepy to waste on simple boyfriend stealing.
I definitely see Theresa as Sami's successor. She's even got herself a hot frenemy that she alternately schemes with or blackmails.

Abby, not so much. She does way too much hand-wringing to ever be a bad girl. The only thing she may inherit from Sami is EJ's penis.
thank you for making me laugh!

I am so, so, so excited!!!! They might recast, but I will just be so glad to finally (FINALLY) have AS off the show. The only thing better would be to have had a twofer with SC leaving as well.

This is a hard thread for me to read and seeing all the overjoyous posts from some anti-AS fans.its like pouring salt on an open wound for us AS fans. I'm sorry to see her go and I recognize the tremendous contribution she has brought to Days. The show won't be the same without her and I sincerely wish her the best.

At this point I don't knowing if I will continue watching Days after her departure. It depends on how she is written off the show and who EJ ended up with. If its Ejabby, count me out.

Well, "dead" doesn't always mean dead on Days. It rarely actually means dead.

Maybe something happens and she has to disappear or she is presumed dead.

"end of year" as in December? That would have Sami airing until May Sweeps of 2015!

I got to thinking. If she's talking about staying until the end of the year & then seeing what happens, then she must (at the very least) be under the assumption that Days is getting renewed.
If the show is renewed and Ali tapes until the end of December (which is when her contract ends), she could possibly air into June 2015. Her contract cycles are basically January-March, April-June, July-September, October-December, so her last month with the show would be more likely to be in September (airing until Feb 2015 sweeps) or December (airing until May 2015 sweeps or a few weeks into June 2015).
Sweet Mary Magdalene, we could be saying goodbye to Ali Sweeney for the next year and a half?

She is going to get flashbacks and special episodes and bullshit that will go in to summer 2015, but Peter Reckell and Matt Ashford and other legends did not even get a peep.
Grrrrrrr... So true! :angry:

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!
A thousand times YES!
