JAMES SCOTT DONE TAPING DAYS!

It broke my heart when Alison Sweeney revealed on Ellen that she's leaving DAYS. Now, James Scott is OUT! I'm going to miss that handsome, charismatic EJ DiMera.

Who's going to carry the EJami torch once they're gone? I care for other characters, but it's nowhere the care I have for Sami Brady and EJ DiMera.

I'm curious as how this will play out. Alison Sweeney leaves at the end of the year, with her final airdate sometime next year of 2015 Spring. James Scott is done so he should exit Fall of this year.

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.
I just can't express how much I hate the idea of Ej being the main father figure in Allie's life. Damn.

Actually AS finishes taping this month as well, perhaps yesterday. So, her final scenes as well may usher in November sweeps.

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.
I really don't believe that's what he wanted 100 percent.

I'd like to have faith that the show will keep me entertained to keep me tuning in but with the current writers I don't feel that optimistic. Days is going to need a major overhaul with new writers to keep me interested.

Well if Nicole is married to Sami's twin?


Itīs a possibility but Eric is a good man he wouldnīt want the kids raised as Dimeras so if they gonna be the next generation Dimeras to take over they need to be under the influence of a Dimera.

I really hope that Lucas takes Allie. I really do.


If the show is planning to write more for Lucas I would think Allie will stay with him since it would make it easier to write for him.

why would they recast Sydney if both JS & AS were leaving and taking the kids with them?


As a flower girl at Ejamiīs wedding. :cheer:

Wow. With EJ and Sami both gone from Salem in about 6 months, that opens up a large part of the canvas. I hope after they're gone we get to see Lucas be a single father to Allie. And wouldn't it be a gas if John ended up moving in to the DiMera mansion? Or I'd take its first occupant, Shane Donovan. I wonder what's going to happen with Stefano now? I hope they bring in some more Hortons as Days moves into its 50th year.
While I definitely want John (and Marlena) to be written for I don't think john would ever voluntarily move into that house. Too many horrible memories.

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.
Oh I have no doubt the affair hookup will be exposed. I just think that Sami will be more understanding and forgiving than in Ej's nightmare. Ejami will survive this obstacle and ride off the sunset together with their kids. They have more or less six months to play it out. I am excited to see it unfold.

They still heed her until they leave.
And maybe Sydney plays into the s/l in a way that requires a child who can actually pay attention to what the other actors are doing?

My assumption has always been that they hired her for the Ejami wedding, and I don't think I've changed my mind about that yet, lol.

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.
If the kids had any vote in where they stayed in Salem, I'm sure Allie would love to be with Lucas, and Sydney would have no problem with 'Mama Nicole.' But I'm pretty sure Johnny would opt for Rafe. LOL

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
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.
what does Nicole have to do with Ejami's kids LOL? She is not related to them and there is no connection except for the fact that she kidnapped Sydney as infant. Those kids have plenty of loving relatives in Salem. Logically, the kids will leave town with their parents and will come back to visit during holidays. I don't see Ejami leaving them behind even if they are on the run.

i guess. i just don't think she's important enough to recast unless the current kids were unavailable. Sure they weren't great, but if they're only seen once per 4 months it seems like a waste of resources to recast for such a short period of time.

They recast Parker for a month in 2011. Older Claire was only around for about 2 months. Joey is only on at Christmas, and they never even acknowledge who he is. It doesn't seem like casting the kids is a very big deal to them. :shrug:

Ejami will be on for the next six months give or take. If the kids are going to be heavily featured in a storyline prior to Ejamily's departure, I can see why they needed a better Sydney. The current Sydney was not doing a good job.

I'm ready for them to call it a day on ALL the DiMeras. IMO, they're long past their point of being over used & worn out. Maybe it's time to bring on the rest of Justin & Adrienne's boys or, perhaps even, a whole new family.

best news of 2014! also quite possibly the least surprising news of 2014. i can't see james on days without ali or ali without james, and apparently they are both of the same mind. i may actually be enticed back to watch how his storyline wraps up now.
Did I miss a quote from either AS or JS saying that?

Why does JS leaving mean BD will become the "leading man"? The show doesn't appreciate BD enough for that. His "story" earlier this year wasn't even really a story.

I would like to see a new power couple on the show. Philip and Chloe, perhaps?

Kids do not get a vote on who they should live unless it is with parents LOL. While I think Sydney and Johnny like Racole, neither of them have any real connection to the ejami kids. I don't see a judge awarding custody to the woman who once kidnapped a child. Logically, Ejami should have had a restraining order against Nicole regarding the kids. Anyway, it is a moot point because there is no way Ejami will leave their kids behind specially since the show hardly use them anyway.

Exactly. I don't believe for a second JS quit because AS did. It's been obvious he's been interested in doing other projects outside of Days long before AS announced she was leaving. :shrug:
