I know, but since Sami's not going to be getting repaired, I count this as a score for my side. ;)
Meh....we really don't know what will happen in a year.....so let's wait shall we before we count our victories....

IF AS hadn't announced her departure I would be all for Lucas getting laid by anyone at this point....I like LUSH too...but I know it's short lived...so that doesn't really help me out much....I still find it too much of a coincidence that all these stories are starting about a year or so before Sami will be leaving Salem, one way or another....
People are already campaigning for it no matter what (not saying they'll accept it if and only if she's "fixed." ) though, so my point stands, but anyway, I would agree about the coincidences except that it's rumored that lush isn't going anywhere. If Lush was really a response to AS' plans, ISTM that they'd keep her on the show. Even if Lumi was endgame, she could still stay on screen, date other people etc until Lucas was free again.
It's still too early to tell but knowing this show and the way they treat Lucas, I can see him leaving with Sami....notice how Jordan and Rafe appear to be an item for the foreseeable future, although I feel that there might be a change there so who knows... and Ej and Abby coming out of no where all of a sudden can really lead to a real relationship down the road....then again....who knows if James doesn't resign in the spring, that can lead to Ej somehow needing an exit of his own this fall, which can coincide with Sami leaving too....it's still too early to tell but you can tell from what we know that at least two of Sami's men appear to have a story, while the other one appears to also, but then we heard stuff that might lead us all to believe he's the one that doesn't.

Will be interesting to see who Sami's endgame is, can imagine that she gets a happy ending with one of her men and dies.:)

I donīt know if I would be as happy about an Ejami wedding as I would have been in the past but I think I would still like to see one. Maybe Ejami can get married and then the truth about Abby comes out at the reception or follow them on their honeymoon and break the news. After that Lumi can get back together and have a wedding too.
I do not know but I really do not think EJ will be Sami's endgame considering sl which is now, can not see that Sami will ever forgive EJ for his betrayal, maybe Lucas is the man for Sami in the end? :)
I've always thought that Lumi's was the most believable love story of any of the Sami pairings. Brandon cheated, Ej's now cheated. Austin wasn't for her, and he loved Carrie....Lucas and Sami are truly cut from the same cloth....it's that simple.

Lumi had a believable love story in 2007 but Sami betrayed Lucas with EJ twice after that if they would have continue to write for Lumi the years after 2007 til now I could have seen Lucas as Sami soulmate but not it feels that he deserves better than her.

LOL. Somebody posted about the Lumi, Ejami and Safe ship wars ending because of AS's announcement. If anything, they are going to be worse than ever for the next year because everybody will want the their desired ending with their guy. Even the Bramis are getting into the mix and Brandon's not even around, LOL.
It's going to be a bloody year!!! I'm telling ya, I'm greedy, I want it all. A nice Lumi scene, preferably no sex but I'm sure it will be ONS. I want Brandon to come back. Hell, I even want some Sick scenes. Sami's armada will be in full force!
And yet, she's probably going to spend half of it forming a fake friendship with Abby and praising EJ for handling the situation. :frustration: :frustration: :frustration:

July through December better be awesome, I tell you, since they're wasting half of Sami's last year on this current crap story with Abby. I want Sole fights, Kami fights, Sarlena hating/bonding and plenty of Lumi and Ejami.
It will make Abby's murder all the sweeter. I hope they don't drop the ball on this.

I am not sure if anyone else feels this way, but I'll ask. Does anyone else feel not quite as invested now in the storyline about EJ, Sami and Abby .

I just don't seem to care as much about that story anymore, now Sami either dies, gets locked away somewhere, or is on the run.....

Her announcement yesterday, seems like I just read the last chapter of a good book. I find the timing of her announcement yesterday sort of took the wind out it's sails. Why announce now if your leaving in over a year..

If you don't feel this way, no biggie, really not looking to debate. Just wondering if anyone else feels similar. Thanks for allowing my rant. :bye:

Salem Viewer I feel the same. I think when Ms. Sweeney saw the giant fan reaction to EJ/Abby sex her mind had to wander over to the topic of KARMA. As a younger actress, AS somehow managed to take the reigns from DH. It's possible KM could unseat AS as the self-proclaimed star of DAYS.

The timing of her announcement doesn't surprise me at all. She seems to be a bit of a fame-whore. How cool would it have been if she kept her mouth shut and let the writers send her out in a shocking blaze of glory?

If Sami doesn't get her Happily Ever After, I'd love it if she murdered Abby and went on the run.

On Jade Harlow - I did hear that SOD said she'd only be around for a short stint, but then I also read a post from someone who checked their SOD and didn't see that, so I wasn't sure what to think.

Days need to keep any actor they can not get rid of more.beside if Sami end up killing someone in her exist story it should someone big and not someone like Abby

What bothers me the most about AS leaving is that I wanted to see her deal with her little kids as teenagers, but maybe that can still happend if they sorase the kids now, even if I have loved Ejami I have picture Lumi together trying to protect Johnny and Sydney from folllowing their fatherīs footstep I Think that would be interesting to see.

Looking back on Sami's time in Salem, a couple of things come to mind.

My favorite weddings were the Vegas failed one with Austin and the actual Lumi one.

Favorite romatic pairing hands down for me is Lumi.

I thought Ali Sweeney did some of her best work during the execution storyline. One of my favorite Sami/Marlena moments was their "goodbye" when Sami told Marlena she would be the one leaving now (alluding to the 5 years Marlena was taken away). This was also a fantastic umbrella story that utilized most if not all of the cast.

Her rivalry with Carrie drove years of drama for Days. I hope they can at least get Christie Clark back before Ali leaves so we can see these two together on screen one last time.

Sami always had such a wonderfully complex relationship with John and Marlena. Even going back to the time everyone thought John was Roman. Another hope I have is we get at least a scene or two exploring this before Sami exits the canvas.

For the future, I still hold out hope we will get to see the EJami brood as teenagers. You just know these kids are going to be rebellious hellions and one hot mess.

KM's version of Abigail will never hold a candle to what AS has created with "Sami Brady". I don't think AS is jealous of KM in the least bit, its just laughable. lol

My ideal scenario: Sami kills Abigail. Sami is on death row, an homage to when she was framed for Franco's murder. As Sami is about to be injected, she professes her love to Lucas and laments how she threw their relationship away as he is her one true love. However, unlike the Franco storyline, Sami actually dies this time. Or does she? ;)

I completely agree with you :) I mean come on KM / Abby first, she can never compete with Ali / Sami, Ali has been on the show for twenty-one years, and Sami has been a central role a strong character with lots of stories who were entertaining. the top, Ali has a stage presence that KM does not even come close to. And the character Abby is a weak dull not saying character who happens to be in the same orbit as EJ, but noway in hell, Abby is entertaining in the slightest. And why would Ali bother? She is busy outside of Days and have chosen to leave the show.

Who knows what JS will do but if I was a betting woman.....my money is on his leaving this time around.

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.

I'm undecided on how I'd like Sami's departure to be written. I'm leaning towards soapy death of some sort to propel other stories on canvas. A Sami Brady death would have a huge impact on many different characters.
I hope not, it would prove him to be a one note wonder on DOOL and I think he's got more to give. I actually figured this would happen a few weeks ago, I won't post why but I could have call it. JS has more to give, and maybe what they've been doing with his character is testing the waters.

To me, the water is fine!!

JS has the charisma to be an even bigger hit on DOOL, I hope he sticks around to show it.

John VS Stefano....classic enemies.

Rafe has no business even sniffing the air around Steffy's nutsack!
Especially because (character history aside) GG doesn't know how to play off JM. He doesn't do a 'give and take' that is necessary to create an adversarial relationship. GG just plays it as smug 100% of the time. It's one-note and boring.

Give it to someone who knows how to act it.

The more I think about it, the more I think they should kill off Sami by natural causes and leave no room for a return. Give her a short but sweet exit storyline where she comes to terms with her illness, re-lives her past and regrets some things, making amends to people she's wronged, etc, and have her die surrounded by her loved ones...EJ goes to the mansion and sits in the dark, drinking and smoking Cubans, waving a concerned Stefano away, and when he emerges from his shell, he goes back to the Dark Side and gives NO FUCKS about who he screws over on his quest to make DiMera the feared-worldwide empire it used to be. Marlena is devastated at the loss of another child, as is Chris Kositchek Roman...John who helped raise her is crushed, Eric, Brady, Caroline, Lucas, Rafe... the impact could be monstrous and really give the other actors some good meaty material to work with as they adjust to life without her...it would effect Nicole via Eric, Kate via Lucas. There is just so much they can do and should do for the show, rather than just for the sake of one character who has been on the front-burner - and a shadow of her former self - for far too long now. In my opinion, Ali did some of her best work when Sami was on death row for the murder of Franco - no makeup, no hair...just raw emotion that didn't involve stomping and squishy crying faces.
I agree, Sami dying of natural causes that we see her suffering through would give AS a chance to try to actually do some serious acting, and we'd get to see all my faves react to it. There could be lots of drama and fallout. Great material for Deidre Hall, especially. And she could never come back.

All I know is that once she's gone I'll be able to enjoy this show again.
Only if they do a Terms of Endearment scene where Marlena loses her shit at the nurse's station and yells, "GIVE MY DAUGHTER THE SHOT!!"

I don't fully understand why 48 years into this show, there is still a commonly held belief that a character can't come back if they're killed off.

Roman fell off a cliff, Steve's died, Stefano had his bones displayed, oh come on dead and buried is only true in real life. On days, it's just a pause to see how many years it will take for them to return.
