Let Nicole have them.
OMG No - they need to be Sorased. Take over Dimera Enterprises and terrorize Salem
They can easily do
That with Nicole's guidance. Bring it on.

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.
By the same token it was hard for some Sami fans to watch Ejami.

I was hoping for Sami to have an exit that didn't revolve around EJ but I think with James leaving now, I am positive he will get what he wants, which is for Ej and Sami to have their happy ending. I guess this affair business made me foolishly think that might not happen.

And what would Nicole's connection be to Sami's kids? Even if Sami is killed or goes to jail, why would the kids end up with Nicole of all people when Marlena and their other family members are around?

I wish him the best but I'm not all that upset that he's leaving. The character had potential when he was first introduced as EJ Wells but that quickly went downhill and he's been a character I've despised since. I could actually tolerate him in scenes with Abigail earlier this year but otherwise I've always felt he was overused and overexposed and I've been tired and bored with the Sami and EJ hour for several years now.

I just hope that there is no happy ever after for Sami and EJ - I hope EJ is finally sent to prison for a crime - Lord knows he's gotten away with so many of them.

I would like to say I'm optimistic that this move will lead to more air time for characters like John, Marlena, Hope, Aiden, Lucas, Rafe, Jordan and Victor but I have no faith in this writing team. It will probably be Kristen, Brady and the oh so annoying Theresa plus the already overused Dan and Jennifer all of the time now.

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!!!


EJ has a lot of fans and I think many of them will stop watching, but itīs not just JS leaving that makes me think the show is in danger but also because they have gotten rid or lost there younger characters like Shelle and Phillip in the past so there isnīt that many characters left and I doubt they will be back,

If Johnny or Sydney is suppose to terrorize Salem and take over as the next generation of Dimeras they canīt stay with Jarlena and Stefano will probably soon retire, but they could come back as teenagers and stay with uncle Chad (it makes no sense why they would stay with Nicole since they are not related). The only problem is I doubt new Chad is leading man material.

Meh...EJ was never anything more than a pale imitation of Tony/Andre, anyway.

Perhaps, DOOL can recapture some of its former greatness with the departure of the ridiculous EJ/Sami couple. :rockon:

They still heed her until they leave.

This is crazy. Who does the show have left? Hopefully, they can pull a rabbit out of their hat and get some people back. I don't want to look at Theresa and Jordan and Rafe and Daniel and Jennifer every day.

I like James Scott and all, but his acting on that EJ/Sami episode was dreadful. LOL.

Not surprised by this. Kinda glad he's leaving.
Your avi & banner are the couple that should come back & help fill the void. I ADORED Philip & Stephanie! :wub: JKJ/Philip has what it takes to be the next lead of that age group. Is Shelley still doing Teen Wolf anybody know?
Thanks! I agree they should come back. Flove them! I believe JKJ has what it takes to be the next leading man. Plus, what is he doing these days? Did his movie come out yet?
Shelley on otherhand, heard she was going to be regular cast on Teen Wolf. :( I am happy for her though! She deserve better. :)

The show is not in any danger with or without James Scott and Alison Sweeney. They are safe through the renewal and after that is in as much jeopardy as it was before these announcements. The renewals came through post-Alison Sweeney exit news so they had to have an idea or already know that James was leaving. NBC doesn't seem to be broken up about it.

I do think in the short-term it will hurt the show but I expect some positive announcements after the dark week. When Alison Sweeney left we got a 2 year renewal, Kassie DePaiva and Eileen Davidson returning for an arc. James Scott should at least be worth some returns.

Money and airtime just freed up so much with these two exits and I can't think of anything else the show needs more than those two things, besides the backburnering of Dannifer.

Yup I believe Malia (Shelley's Character) will be a regular next season ;) B-)
Boo, need her and JKJ back at Days. Need my Philip and Stephanie fix.

Won't miss James but best of luck to him!

Wow. I've been wanting an EJ-less show for so long, I barely know what to say now that it is within reach. I wish James all the best, hopefully he finds his new projects rewarding and never feels the need to return to the show again.

Now that Sami's kids have been brought up, I just realized that the number of children on this show will be cut in half come 2015, with Johnny, Allie and Sydney most likely leaving. That leaves Ciara, Theo and Parker (and invisible Joey) - assuming the first two aren't SORASed anytime soon.

Wow. Next year is going to be a whole new show. Two characters that people discuss (and argue about) the most will be gone. I'm excited... and scared. I mean, the writers might use this opportunity to make Rafe and Daniel leading men. Or worse: Melanie might come back and writers might try to make her Sami 2.0 all over again.

No. Not gonna happen. Positive thinking, positive thinking...
