I don't think JS and AS could be any different, in terms of presentation, if they tried. AS is about as subtle as a mack truck and she puts it all out there with feet stomping, face scrunching, and wobbly lips. JS is a lot smoother, more subtle and refined.

AZ is a powerhouse to me. She can do everything and she matches whoever is up against her. I think she has chemistry with everyone, including JS.

KM steps up her game in scenes with JS. Their dynamic is something new from both parties. I kind of like how "handsy" JS is with her (NOT just talking about the sex scenes). She oh-so-tiny and very pet-able.

S loves EJ


It was mostly in 2007 I felt that Ejami matched each other acting wise, when watching this clip it felt like watching two mirror reflections and therefore perfect for one an other, and while I loved Ejami in 2013 too I didnīt get the same feeling as in 2007.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WkSP0MU-jvE

I have felt Ejabby matching each others acting more than Ejami lately. I donīt know whether or not Ejabby would work as a real couple but I would definietly like to see it explored.

EJ will get jealous when he sees Abby moving on!
Thats what I was getting at in my earlier post. Its Soap Opera 101. And even if Sami did find out shed be stupid to forgive him. If shes been banning him from her bed for something his sister did shed be a fucking retard to stay with him.
Agree. I will dislike Sami permanently if she forgives EJ.

Well JS said that they have similar acting styles. I honestly think once AS leaves, JS might prefer to work with AZ but I just dont feel the same way about Ejole as I used to. I am sure he likes KM so I dont want to knock that, these two have certainly shocked the hell out of me with their chemistry.
I don't think it matters. I don't think the writers are going to go ask him who he'd prefer to work with.
Or I could see them doing the opposite just cause they can. lol

Well I am pretty convinced that Ricardo and his Pantene Pro-V hair is ratings gold mine. Everytime he swishes his hair from side to side, viewers increase by 100K.
And to me, the increase in T's airtime since January is the very obvious reason for the ratings spike.
T so needs a love interest. Maybe he will come to Gaby's rescue when Nick starts his crap with her.
Hmmmm....how about Sami using T for revenge sex after the affair comes out? She goes to drown her sorrows and ends up bedding the bartender. Poor T needs to get some, right?

Might as well. Those two have been wading in the kiddie pool, she may as well just dive right in.

Personally, I think alot of his fanboying about AS is probably because of her being pretty well known. He may think that's better for his career if he's on screen with her. That's strictly my opinion.

I honestly think he likes her aside from all that as well & she seemed to like him as well. She's just not quite as giddy as he is.
I think it's a combination of admiration and knowing where his bread is going to get the most butter which almost go hand in hand.


Going back to those quotes where he talks about liking to kiss AS and chemistry is just a polite term. I'm sure James knows what to say to get a reaction.

It's still ADORABLE!

Probably not but I would not be surprised if he would like to work with AZ again. Honestly, I would like them to explore Ejabby. I dont know if they would actually work as a couple but I am curious about it.
I'd like them to explore Ejabby as a couple too, but only because I think that would be the quickest path to their destruction, LOL.
I think Ejabby as a legit couple mutually in love might happen in 6 months if JS stays, and I think he's staying. The best thing they can do now is have another person show interest for Abby. Gives her something to do up to the point of the reveal and then the fallout has him around to support her. At that point they can move Ejabby forward. With Sami leaving if JS stays I can see him be the wedge between Bebby. That is when Ejabby's love story may begin, if the show wants to go there, they've set it up pretty good.

I definitely believe that both Ali and James genuinely likes each other. They seem to have a good time working together. I don't wish to imply, but they even got some spark offstage. I know that Ali has husband and children, and that James got a beautiful girlfriend, but I wouldn't be chocked if these two were to have an affair in real life. Due to the chemistry.

Regarding screen partners, I think actors in general try to make it work no matter what story they have to take part in. But they're people, too, so certainly they got their favourites. So here it's up to their professionalism to try and not make it show too much. Their job is to sell a story somebody else's written. Sometimes the story's believable, sometimes it's less believable. It doesn't have to be the actors' fault, often enough they work their asses off to make it work. To put it plain, the story can be outright terrible, which is reason enough for most viewers not to buy it.

I think the biggest obstacle to Ejabby happening at some point in the future is KM. She has about 10 more months of taping before she hits the four-year mark. If she stays past that time, she'd be the only young actor in the past decade or so to do so.

If both she and JS stick around, they'll probably revisit them at some point. Although Ejabby as a legit couple sounds even worse to me than Ejabby as an affair.

It's so funny you say that because I think it has been a detriment to both EJ & Sami to be circling around the younger crowd. Sami should be all about helping Will, but so much of last year was spent with the young 20-somethings rather than people their own age. Even the whole Bernardi video mess involved the jr set. Only the last couple of months did they get into the Kristen/Eric/Brady mess & even then it was basically at the same time of the Nick mess which again involved the jr. set.

Of course that comes from not having characters like Lucas, Carrie, Phillip, Chloe, Austin etc for them to interact with. And while James referred to Guy as "a lovely young man," Guy is the oldest of that set of actors and that kind of shows how James categorizes that group.

I am one of many people who think that JS and AS have a great rapport. I love their scenes together and I for one am sucked right in when they're on screen. I like AS's portrayal of Sami. She MADE Sami, and she always stomped, face crunched and had wobbly lips no matter who she shared scenes with, including Lucas, Brandon and Rafe.

AZ is a powerhouse in emotional scenes, which is why most of her scenes are emotionally charged. She perfected the "silent crying" which provokes empathy for her character no matter what atrocious thing she does. Thus Nicole could get away with the baby switch, and using the dead baby in her womb to frame Jennifer for her miscarriage, etc... While I do think that AZ's acting is very good, I miss the funny snarky Nicole who surfaces much to rarely.

KM is not impressive IMO. She's ok, but definitely not a compelling actress by any means IMO. And sorry, I just can't get into Ejabby. I feel like I'm watching a pedophile with his victim. I just can't...

As for EJ when AS leaves, if JS were to stay, I can see him becoming Stephano II, according to KC's quote "because it must happen". That pulls JS from the front storylines and allows him stay on the soap while being free to pursue other things. And JS did mention several times that he'd like to do that, not to mention that he almost didn't re-sign his contract the last time.

I think KM is fine, and I think she actually does well when she has real material, but I can't really compare her to AS or AZ. She hasn't had anything like the material they've had and this kind of story isn't really giving it to her at this point yet either. My guess is that she'd be somewhere between AZ and AS, but my other guess is that we'll never really know.

I don't think KM is a bad actress, but I don't find her compelling on-screen. Call it charisma or whatever, but she lacks that intangible star quality that the real leading ladies have. Which is fine, so long as they don't try to turn her into one.

Yeah, she doesn't have the strongest screen presence, but if you have the acting chops to back it up that's not necessarily a bad thing. I don't see either the actor or character ever really being a lead, though.

*http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VgeKhEpm84s
"Day of Days" fan event November 2013 -- one of many different interviews with James Scott that day.

In this particular interview, filmed in November 2013 -- at about 5:20 or so -- he starts talking about a "new storyline" (presumably one that had already been filmed when he was speaking).

Disclaimer: I'm not familiar with James' interview styles or his storyline interests, thus I might not know how to accurately interpret his nuances during interviews.

When watching this video (with no other knowledge of James) ... my personal impression is that he may have been talking about an upcoming story arc -- that he knew about but could not reveal back then. And it seems to have already been filmed at that time. He says he enjoyed working on it, and/or that the audience might find it interesting, and Alison replies with something noncommittal. Both James and Alison are clearly thinking about ... and speaking ... about something specific ... yet they are intentionally vague to the audience about what it is.

I'd like to believe he's referring to Ejabby.

But in all honesty, I must admit that he could be talking about an Ejabby story arc, an Ejami story arc, or an entirely new unrelated EJ story arc that none of us are aware of.

Agreed. She's a decent actress, so I think she and Abby work perfectly fine as supporting player. But yeah, her presence isn't strong enough to be a lead. Days' problem is that they have hardly anyone under the age of 35 with a strong enough screen presence to grow into a lead. JL and CMo are the only ones that I see as possibilities. I think BC might too, but it's hard to judge since he's only been a bit player.

I don't care for JL and I think BC is horrible. Hopefully, they'll get more younger actors soon, lol.
