"Fans are so upset." No real article would ever say that unless it was a quote from an insider. I really wouldn't be surprised to see James Scott exit the show in the near future, but it won't have anything to do with Alison's exit. He always seems iffy about returning. |

I think JS might use the fact that AS is leaving as leverage for a good deal for him if he wants to stay, which IMHO I would think he would want to now....they can really write Ej dark the way JS has said he likes to play him and IMHO the way he excels at playing him. So I guess it's possible he can leave, but even then it's not a guarantee that Ejami would ride off into the sunset together at all.....he'd be stupid to leave now IMHO. |

I think if he were to leave it would be because he´s burned out with the job and wants to do something else. |

I do think it's interesting how long she knew, and I do think EJabby has been written for a purpose, though the eppy was surely written and performed before talking to Corday. But why the Ejami, promises, it seems mean! |

If AS is only taping until the end of May, that is only 4 months of her working on set even if she's airing through the end of the year. And if TPTB were planning to have her ride off into the sun with EJ or Lucas or whomever, they would have to be writing that whole storyline now. Given that we have yet to see the fallout from EJ's cheating, I'd be surprised if they reconcile anytime before she leaves the show. Sami wouldn't forgive EJ cheating that quickly. No way, no how. And I don't doubt TPTB are seeing the response to EJabby and considering how to incorporate that triangle through the rest of this year. . . |

I think it would be a big mistake on his part. It would say I'm only an one hit Ejami wonder, even if that wasn't the reason. At least stay on another year to prove the exits are connected, and to prove he has more to give then just being the other half of Ejami. Pair him with nobody, pair him with the lamp post... :shrug: I don't care. I would hope JS fans would want him to stay, I've seen EJ in a different way, and good or bad, I think he could be greater than he's been since Day 1. |

Even if they are 5-6 months ahead, I still don't think Sami (if written true to character) would forgive EJ so quickly. His cheating has got to sting badly. And if AS just gave notice in November, than Ejabby was something in the mix even before AS decided to leave. I will be curious how they handle Sami's exit. If Sami doesn't die, I hope she decides to leave town with Lucas, who was the ONLY love interest would made her tolerable. |

Maybe "Second Chances" made her see she has more to give and she doesn't have to be SB forever. |

I want her to leave with nobody. They seemed to have proved her formers don't need her. I want Lucas & EJ tp stay, and if Sami is killed let her be shot by Bernardi's widow or something. No slow blubbering dying, put her in jail or something else. When Sami first started and moved on to moves like Stan and further on to her reconnection to Lucas, I liked the character. She seemed like a strong woman, but "sometime" after "some scene" they tore down her character and left her, with a weak blubbering stupid woman. I'm done with Sami and have been done with Sami. I liked her with Safe only because of Rafe, and I've discovered that, even the Sami then seemed weak and unfemale strong. Good luck to Alison Sweeney! I won't miss Sami Brady! |

Well I hope that she goes out with a bang instead of a whimper. I think TPTB should capitalize on it. She is a big character, and it would be worth having something major happen so that the fall out would be additional story. She can always come back from a death, but it be so much less exciting to come back for a holiday or some visit. Who gives a shit about that? I don't think anyone could have the payoff played out better than Kristen's exposure and exit, but if it's well written, I think that would be the way to go. |

She can always pre-tape a Skype clip and be dragged to the Horton Ornament ceremony via laptop. |

Why does Sami have to leave with anyone? Why can't she leave single? IMO that's the way to ship her character off and it leaves the door open to her return (which IMO is inevitable - AS will NOT stay away for long). It would make sense and cause the show the least damage. |

When I first heard that Ali was leaving I was surprised that I felt relatively indifferent to the news. I haven't been all that interested in her character for awhile. I think when they paired her with Ej, Sami actually felt flat. Her substance was gone. She seemed like a lost character to me. And yet when I read the full article in my issue of SOD, I found a sadness come over me that this character would be completely gone. I'll miss Sami after-all. I do think there are interesting paths they could still take with this character and who knows, with time away maybe the writing could suit her better upon a someday return. As it is I'm curious to see how the show will look and feel without her presence and which actress the show will put forward in her place. One thing I feel needs addressing by tptb is Ali's comments concerning how the job has become more intense than it's ever been. ED needed a break from Days demanding schedule and they lost Kristen and now Ali's Sami too. This straight to tape attitude may save them money, but if the actors feel as though they can't put their best work forward more and more may look for other pursuits. |

I want Sami to go out with a BANG, leaving major havoc. I think they should have Sami do a JR Ewing. She knows she is dying and sets up her "murder" by Nick, EJ or Stefano. I think Kate will help her because Sami plans to leave her kids with Lucas. Sami will not want to leave the kids alone with the Dimeras especially after the whole Ejabby reveal. Kate would support that and even agree that Sami and Lucas should be secretly married to secure the future of the kids. I even think Lucas would marry Sami and sacrifice any relationship he is in if its for the kids. Plus he going to mad at EJ for cheating on Sami and screwing Abby. Obviously Sami and Kate would not tell Lucas about the "murder" setup. Then on top of all that if Sami and Kate could prove (real or fake evidence) the Johnny is Lucas's that would be another nail in EJ. Of course Lucas and Sami reconnect before she dies. This will setup a huge Horton and DiMera rivalry and further storylines. Lucas becomes EJ's target. But Abby may be able to run interference between them. Just a thought. |

I hate to say it, but I really think that if Sami leaves with anyone, it'll be Lucas. It seems as if Jade Harlow's stint is a short one, unfortunately, and like they'll be putting the brakes on Lush sooner or later. Bryan is recurring and it'll be easier to just usher him out with Sami if need be. Lucas is the only person I can stand her with, but I don't know if I'm willing to sacrifice Bryan for it.
