I want to be surprised and sad, but I can't. I'm glad that they're leaving together - hopefully they take the kids with them & none of them are EVER mentioned again. I still think Ali will get a talk show & James will either go into prime-time or head to another soap...I can imagine RC at GH will be picking up his phone pretty quickly. In any event, I wish them both well - Ali leaving to spend time with her kids is something I can absolutely admire & respect. I just wish James could & would have stuck it out for a bit...I shudder at the thought of Chad coming back to town for any reason...I just really hope he's an evil son of a bitch and lives up to the name DiMera.
they aren't leaving together, AS will be airing at least a few weeks longer.
They could have it so that Elvis leaves to set up their new home somewhere with Sami and kids to follow.

With JS and AS leaving, can they give Sydney (who's being recasted oddly enough) to Nicole and Johnny to Lucas, thanks.
If Sami and EJ actually go on the run together, I could see them leaving Allie with Lucas and giving custody of Sydney and Johnny to Eric or Marlena.
I doubt it. the last time they planned to go on the run, they were all going together as a family. They even had fake passport for all the kids. Heck they probably still have those passport if needed LOL. I think Ejami will ride off the sunset with all their kids including Allie. Then Allie will come back to visit with his dad periodically just like when Lucas was in China. They can even have Johnny and Sydney during the holidays when they come visit their grandparents and uncle Eric. It will not make much of a difference, sadly we hardly see the kids anyway.

Coming out of lurkdom for this one......

So disappointed that I won't get to see EJ outside of Samanther's orbit, but I'm thinking Scott (being the EJami fangirl that he is) really wanted an HEA. Of course who knows what the storyline will be by the time they actually get off the show.

One thing puzzles me though. Why even do the affair storyline if it's not going to be revealed? Like others have speculated I think that "very special episode" was as close to a reveal as we are going to get. And if that is true and EJami do head off into the sunset together (gag) with that secret still between them, then that's really not an HEA.

I'm just wondering if there was a story in mind that had to quickly be changed when Ali/James announced they were leaving.

Together'ish is perhaps how I should have phrased it - my apologies. Whether she kills him in a fit of rage and the time-difference is taken up by her trial or psyc evaluation to send her to the looney bin - it doesn't make too much of a difference. Not that they're necessarily going to write them this way, who knows - they may get a HEA with the scenario as above. However they leave, I'm not really going to miss either of them. Sami has been the same boring predictably unpredictable cartoon for years & seeing EJ a her lapdog is just sad. I don't want this to be the Dannifer show any more than it is either - and I agree that the show needs to bring back Philip, Andre/Tony, Jack, Belle, Shawn D & Claire. The noobs they're bringing on & not giving backstory to for too long (Jordan, Maxine, Anne, Paige, etc) aren't cutting it and sorrynotsorry, but Chad as a bad guy is laughable at best.

I think Sami will find the picture of Ejabby but not say anything to EJ and then planning her revenge on him, but maybe she will ultimately end up forgiving him.

There will most likely be a new guy playing Chad so maybe they will make his personality more bad to make up for EJ gone, but if they are gonna pair him up with Abby he probably will just be a little grey which is not bad enough for me, plus if the picture that was showned be before is the new Chad he didnīt look that attractive to me.

Can we get a rogue Kiriakis brother on the show now to replace EJs presence? I realize they're probably bringing in a new Chad for that purpose, but I'd rather them find someone good to play Alex. Or bring both and let them reignite the feud. Then maybe we'd get a story for Wally and Judi, too.

They need to cast a strong, male leading actor ASAP... Wow, what a hole that needs to be filled...

A good BD story would be finally becoming his own man, getting out from under his mother's thumb.

Yes, it's a big hole to fill, they need charismatic actors and exciting characters. sorry but Daniel and company might suit some, but those who want to see the spicy and badboys will not tune in if the show does not create such characters.

I enjoyed him while he was on, but I'm not sad at all for the exit. I am, however, worried now that Ejami will be the end game. I was reaaaaaally hoping that Sami would be free of that in her exit!

Meh - now the focus can finally shift from EJami to someone else!
Yes - more Dannifer and Wilson. Be careful what you wish for.
Since WilSon is barely averaging two shows a week, I'll take it.

I read this on OhNoTheyDidn't and almost got whiplash as I added a tab to come here. Holy crap! I guess James felt like he couldn't function without Alison on the show? EJ has never been an entity without her though, nearly every storyline he's had has come back to Sami, even when they were apart. I'm not sorry to see him go and I don't mind that he's leaving, I'm just annoyed that we'll never know if EJ could be a viable character without Samanther. There are so many places they could have taken the character with her gone.
I'm surprised he didn't stay because it would have been a great way for him to depict Ej without Sami in his life...something new.....hope he doesn't live to regret that decision
1. The show clearly loves him, so I'm sure he can come back any time he feels like he'd like to see what EJ would be like without Sami.

2. I know a lot of people were interested in seeing a post-Sami EJ, but there's never been any reason to think that JS was one of them. In fact, there have been numerous reasons to think that he wasn't one of them.

On another topic, I don't think Days knew he was leaving when they wrote the affair. Or if they did, they're not doing a great job with planning for his exit (since we should already have a new replacement bad guy/crime family on canvas, so we'll be used to them by the time EJ is written out).

I really hope that Days doesn't try and have BD take over the leading male role. Just no. I'd like to be able to watch this show in the future.

I don't see any pairing on currently, that create the buzz like ejami..... none of the other male actors will fill the void, on the days that EJ is not on a vast majority call the show boring, which it then is.

Only positive for me is no more EJ and abby...

Thsi is shocking indeed. But, at the same time, he's made a good decision for his career. He's been in daytime for 10 years (2 years on AMC and 8 on Days). It's normal to want to try out the big world out there. And it's healthy for his acting skills. Actors tend to get rusty if they don't take up other roles. Even minor guest-starring roles will help him branch out a bit.

Good luck to him and I hope to see him in something soon!

No such luck, I think. I was hoping that too.

Goodness knows I like BD as Lucas, but he is NOT Leading Man material IMO.

What's with all the doom and gloom??? DAYS was fine before EJ and they are gonna be fine without him!! It's not like he was getting great writing over this past year, but this should allow for other past and current actors to move to the front. Carrie, Eric, Brady, Marlena, Nicole, Chloe, Belle, Shawn, Phillip/Stephanie sounds like must see TV!! It's not like EJ and Sami won't make an appearance for the 50th reunion next year! Good for JS and AS!!!

Maybe some were hoping to see Ej have an existence outside of Sami's orbit. Not all Ej fans want to watch Ejami. Which is sad because I believe tptb fell for the fans who claimed that. I do think the show will be fine, I just don't feel interested enough to watch anymore.
