So she's leaving, but she's not really leaving....at least not yet?! huh?!

(& for the record, Ali, you're not the only person sad you didn't get more than 2 weeks of vacation at a time. Maybe if Sami had gotten backburned like every other character, there would've been longer vacations.)
She said this is her last year. Her contract ends at the end of this year.
"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.

that's because Matt was fired & Peter decided to leave during contract negotiations. Neither of which allowed for ample time to do anything. Had Peter decided to stay on for one more year, but stated that he wouldn't be renewing his contract after that, maybe TPTB could've given Bo a better exit & had more time to pay homage to Bo Brady.

Wow. I never thought I'd see the day where Sami Brady was no longer in Salem. I'm not sad (because I definitely think her character needs a break) but I'm not really happy either. I'm surprisingly unaffected by this news, lol. It will be interesting to watch Days without Sami after all these years.

And just NO to a Sami recast. That would seriously be the worst thing in the world.

All, or almost all of the recently canceled soaps have gone off the air in September. So if there's a chance the show isn't renewed, Ali's announcement is probably moot.

She probably knows it's not being renewed so that's why she made her announcement, LOL. I kid, I kid.

but Alison's phrasing makes it sound like the show will be renewed.

Ali said "it will be 22 years" when she leaves the show, so it sounds to me like Days is definitely renewed. I just can't imagine NBC cancelling Days before 50.

This is weird. I joked in another thread that I was hoping she'd be pregnant so that she could take a few weeks off, lol but this is definitely not what I expected to see when I refreshed the board. For what it's worth, Sami Brady is a staple on Days. The character does need a break, but it'll be weird to see her go. She's been on for most of my life...wow. I'm glad that others will get some storylines though, so glad.

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!

i feel this is a good thing. I want other characters to shine now. I'm done with Sami and have been for quite sometime. It was time for her to move on. I wont miss her at all.

Martha Madison's Belle.

I am going to cut a bitch if they start transforming Jeannie-Theresa into the next Brady heroine, much like they did for Sami when Carrie departed the second time. I like my bitchy Bradys.
