Firstly, I don't see why she couldn't take the children with her when she leaves. That would free up EJ to be more flexible.

However, if she does leave the children to their respective fathers, I wouldn't clssify that abandonment. Sometimes these things just happen and choices have to be made. If the parents live in separate cities, the children are going to have to be somewhere. It's just a question of being with their father vs. their mother.

Could almost bet the writers speed her time up long enough for her to arrive back carrying a baby and declaring it Brady's or Eric's. Just what I think they would do. Not give us time to wonder whose it is or if she really is. If she came back with a baby bump, I want to see the raised shirt showing a baby bump, not a big-rig belly.

Bringing her back pregnant or with a baby is going to be so predictable and boring and ridiculous.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deepstarts taping in March of this year and will presumably start airing in July or August of this year. Alison Sweeney stops taping in December of this year and will presumably stop airing around May of next year. If, for argument's sake, we assume that Eileen is only going to be taping for six months, that would be March through September, which would mean that she would stop taping months before Alison does.

It is highly unlikely that Eileen's return has anything to do with Alison's departure.
Actually, Alison will tape her last scenes in May this year and will air until around October-November this year. So I think that Eileen will be with the show longer than Alison.

But also, I do think they will have some very interesting scenes together (actually love the fact that Kristen will be a round and in full-force when Sami will be leaving the show), but I don't think that Kristen will be the reason why Sami's leaving.
As for AS .. I just cant see ANY situation where Sami would leave her kids.. So she will either be killed off, or sent to Jail for something. Because I truly I believe she would never abandon them for ANY reason...
She abandoned them when she ran off with EJ when he was accused of killing Stefano.


She didnīt abandon them she was just gonna leave them for a short time not permantly, and she know they were in good hands.

I donīt see Sami abandon her kids which she would if she were leave them with their fathers. If the children got sorased I can see them staying with their fathers since then they would be old enough to make their own decisions where they want to live but as of now they are to young to be without their mother. I donīt see EJ letting Sami leave with the kids either though unless they agree on shared custody.

If Sami isn't killed off, why wouldn't she and EJ just share custody of the kids like Lumi did when Lucas was in China or like Danloe are doing now? The kids are rarely on anyway, so it's actually a convenient excuse not to have to show them regularly. Every once in awhile, people will ask EJ where the kids are and he'll say they're with Sami right now. And every once in awhile, we'll see them in Salem. It's really not that different than now, except rather than being with Mary or at Caroline's, they will be with Sami.

What? No, she jumped with EJ spontaneously and there were no "arrangements" made for her children at all (Two of which are also EJs so who is going to take of them too?)

There was no plan, no discussion, no arrangements, she just foolishly is about proclaiming EJs "innocence" and decides to break the law with him by running away making the situation 10 times worse.

Will brought the kids to see Ejami so maybe they could have stayed with him, or else Iīm sure Sami know that their grandmother would take care of them.

But in no time did she ever think "Wait, I can't go on the run from the law because I need to be here for my children." You know, putting them first.

Apparently Will offer to take care of the kids. I donīt think Sami is the greatest mother the show should show her take care of her kids more and not just dropping them off at Carolines but I do believe she loves them and wouldnīt just abandon them. Plus she thought the kids needed their father that was the reason aswell as her having feelings for him to help proove EJīs innocence.

Yea, but it's not like she left them alone while going shopping, or even on a weekend trip.

This was running from the law with a wanted fugitive. Sami had no way of knowing how long she would be gone or what it would take to come back. Just because Will stepped up, (BTW, HER OLDEST SON WHO SHE OBVIOUSLY WASN"T CONSIDERING HIS LIFE EITHER) or how the kids would feel about their mom running off like that.

Now, I know it wasnt supposed to make Sami look like a bad mother, but it did. I can excuse a lot of things on soaps/TV shows, but I was angry when this storyline played out and it went down in yet another list of reasons why I think Ejami are so freaking bad for each other and how bad it makes them look.

Maybe because I loved Ejami it didnīt really bother me that she left the kids behind I did though it made her look bad that she left Lucas behind though to runaway with EJ, but I thought it was worth it because it made for some great Ejami scenes in the safehouse.

I don't think she looked bad and it has nothing to do with loving ejami. Soap characters run off on adventures. They go undercover and they go on the run. Soap parenting isn't like real world parenting.

Plus the reason for the "adventure" was to keep the kids' dad out of prison for murder. I'm sure Johnny and Syd would have approved of being dumped off with Grandma Marlena for a few days so they wouldn't have to visit their dad in prison for the rest of his life.

I would love to see a WTD story with Eric/Brady. And for it to be Eric's. Marlena's biological grandchild. Forever tied to her nemisis through blood.

I want John and Marlena written in character this time though. None of the OOC crap.

My son is not a homersexual.

It'll be 9 months when Kristen reemerges in Salem. I could imagine Kristen hitting the road with the baby after dropping a bombshell on everyone.

Did anyone see these spoilers, they're extremely vague, but it could be for Kristen:

-A stranger will soon stir up trouble in Salem (maybe Kristen?)
-A homecoming is in the works for a certain Salemite, who returns with shocking secrets
-Life in Salem becomes more complicated by a shocking return

I am not at all interested in seeing Kristen reminisce about some horrors she possibly went through at the island. That would mean she would have to actually go through with that, etc, and I don't want to see a simpering, whimpering mess on my screen. Especially not one called Kristen DiMera. Kristen has to be a strong, smart, fun, witty and emotional person.

Well to be fair she did become a simpering, whimpering mess in both parts of the Bristen s/l. I would have preferred if it was about her dealing with her past trauma and moving forward with her life than crying over Brady's dumb ass, lol. .

Why "simpering, wimpering mass"? I, personally, don't mind Kristen having some human weaknesses, be it her past or a man she is in love with. It makes the character more layered and even more interesting for me. I'll never buy Kristen as some kind of scary monster/incarnation of devil like Stefano was in the 80s. Never.

And yes, of course the chemistry between Kristen and Brady was explosive. I mean who could not see it from the first time they ended up in bed together. And there was so much more to them than just sex. And why wouldn't they have not had to be shown in bed often? That's how they do it with Ej and Sami all the time, and now EJ and Abby. So why couldn't Kristen and Brady do it? To me it's only right.

Now, I *will* admit Bristen's second round could have been handled better. They should have been together for real without any secrets between them for awhile. But then again they had to write it the way that Kristen would leave by that time. So it couldn't be helped.

I'm still not at all convinced that Kristen's return this time will have anything to do with a baby. And I'm not sure it should either. I mean, if she indeed HAS a baby, people, and I, would want to actually see her as a real and good mother. And how is she supposed to scheme properly then? I mean, sure there are all the DiMera babysitters, but I just still feel a baby might cramp her style. HOWEVER, who's to say she would have it with her right away? She could expose it when she's leaving, or in November Sweeps. I mean, something big's going to happen then in regards to her, that's a given.

Speaking of which, it's kind of a weird timing for her to start to appear in July. Although that IS the timing of July Sweeps, those are usually the most underrated of all the sweeps. And as I recall nothing particular happened last July on screen. It would have made much more sense for her to appear again in May or better yet, November Sweeps as a big surprise.

I didn't say it was not ok to show Bristen in bed or that I didn't enjoy those scenes. But, I think, it definitely hadn't done "damage" to this couple if they had some more dialogue on one or other issue.

They didn't have to write Bristen 2.0 that way but they did, I mean, they wrote Kristen/Eric s/l before they knew ED was leaving. It was planned long before that.

It most likely will be August when Kristen will appear in Salem again. I think, it might be because of ED's availability at the time of taping and it might be that not her return but her exit will be the central focus.

I agree that I don't see her as some sort of devil incarnate either. I do think she is capable of being the heir apparent Stefano, but that's not what makes her tick, not what she wants at all. That's why the character is so wonderful, she is multi-layered, who really only wants to be loved.

I basically meant that I don't want to see that kind of redemption storyline for her, where she has to go around town sobbing and apologizing to people and feeling sorry for herself (as we saw six months with Nicole after the baby/Jennifer storyline), especially due to something that has happened years ago off-screen. If she IS to be a sobby mess, it should at least be because of Brady and something more contemporary, and it should then lead to something.

Well, having Kristen deal with what happened to her wouldn't necessarily make her go around town begging for forgiveness. She can have her personal redemption without having to turn to others to show her who to be.

Anyway after the baby stuff, I think the Kristen that first came to Salem is gone for good. Her mental and emotional breakdown has cost her a lot more than just John (& EJ :P). She basically lost the person she used to be. It would have been a great move for TPTB to have had Kristen realize that and at the same time really become more and more DiMera-like. I would have loved to see Kristen gradually become more like Stefano the same way Tony (Andre?) did in the 90's during his blindness + finding out about the J/K affair. But instead the writers just rehashed old stuff while giving Kristen some weird sex-bomb personality that was both OOC and pretty inappropriate considering her Island Harem nightmare.
