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.
I think that the affair's going to be revealed (how could it not be) but that the point was the there won't be those confrontational scenes, hence the dream. For one reason or another I think Sami cannot or won't confront anyone about it but they will probably talk about much later on.
Well KC did say in an interveiw something about how you don't cheat on your fiancee without paying for it, but the payoff wouldn't happen for a long time. And I think it would be insane for them not to go for Sami finding out and seeing her real re-action to it.
I just wonder if Sami doesn't find out before AS leaves... I wouldn't be surprised at all, and my reasoning is that would be why they spent so much time and money on that fantasy Elvis reveal--because they knew there wouldn't be a real one. It also kind of goes with what JS said in that MFN interview:
Quote:
 
JAMES: When I first heard about it, I thought it was a little bit frustrating. But as I have said many times with this particular storyline, when I came to understand how things will play out over the next six months, I understood why it was necessary to tell story the way they did and the way that they will. It all fits well together. You will have to keep watching. I have been saying that a lot too, but it’s true! There is a lot of great stuff coming up with some very unexpected twists.

I bought NB's e-magazine because he had an interview with JS. James said he made the decision almost a year ago and that he felt he needed a break. Ken Corday of course told him the door was open for him to return in the future.
JMO, but I have always thought that, even tho JS and AS had not told them yet, the powers that be knew that when they each signed their last contract, that would no doubt be their last with Days which is why they chose to go with Ejami, lock stock and barrel.
I have to see how their last stories play out, but I don't see the point of doing EJabby if they knew that James Scott was leaving. This affair is starting to seem beyond pointless. The reunion is going to be rushed too unless the reveal happens very soon.
They might have been trying to change his mind. Until that happened, EJ really hadn't done anything active onscreen in a while. Of course, based on his comments, they chose the wrong way to go if they were trying to keep him, so maybe not.
maybe KM wouldnt let him touch her boobs :P

You know, I have absolutely no desires to see back characters like Shawn, Belle, Philip or Chloe... To me, they're remnants of years past and the times have changed. I don't think people want to see that kind of "puppy love" storytelling anymore, I mean just look at Dannifer and Jafe...... there's absolutely nothing there. And I don't think that they should change their personalities either. I mean, all those people are years apart from EJ and Sami, and whilst I know some people would want it that way and like that, I really don't think I could or would. I want to be able to identify with my characters ans see some flaws, and layers and grey, I don't even mind the "black".... I mean that's why I've liked characters like EJ and Sami.... they can never be perfect nor can they be the all hailed saints that people like Dannifer are........................... just my opinion.
Remnants of Days past? Really? Kristen. Eve.

The only issue with MM is a lack of chemistry with JC. So bring those two back and break them up.
Belle should come back without Shawn. I hated that "predestined golden couple". And I don't want JC back. He can't act!

Single-mom Belle because Shawn D died or they divorced? Hmm...if he died maybe - but if they divorced that might cause friction between Hope and Belle John/Marlena. Which, now that I think about it, might be a good thing. Belle cheated on Shawn? Shawn cheated on Belle? Or did they just drift apart off-canvas? I bet it was all that time at sea... :laugh: In any event, they do need to bring back some core-on-canvas-couples kids. Don't get me wrong, I'd LOVE to see Andrew & Philip both return - but to bring back Belle & Claire could create some good material for KA, the DHs, MM, EM, etc. And Claire & Ciara could be total BFFs! :chee:

I'd rather have Shawn (could be a reacast, i don't care) return over Belle. Hope could use her adult son & granddaughter in Salem. Even with Sami leaving, Marlena still has Eric, Will, & to a lesser degree, Brady.
Of course, Shawn wouldn't be able to return without adding a whole bunch of people from that age group to the canvas. Right now, the only person that's in that age range is Theresa. Even Brady's been SORASed to be more Eric's age than Theresa's.

Remnants of Days past? Really? Kristen. Eve.

I'm not a big fan of the last blast crew but I think they're pretty important to the show. They're old enough now that the puppy love thing should be done. I'd accept recasts of all of them, too, but they're the ones the show should have been focusing on for the last few years anyway. They're the right age and they still have good familial connections on canvas.
Lol. Firstly, Kristen as a character is hardly similar to Belle, Shawn, Phillip or Chloe. And thank God for that. Secondly, are you assuming that I'm an Eve fan? Because we really don't know that until she's arrived. Thirdly, did I not say it was my opinion? I think I did.
No. I'm not assuming anything. It was a commentary on "Days past." If days can bring back characters that have been gone as long as those two, Shawn and Belle are nothing. Heck, we can even add Carlu, Vivian, Justin, Adrienne, Steve, and Kayla to that list. At the the last blast crew would be the right focal age. And while they're years away from EJ in a sense, they're actually right at the age EJ and co were when they took over the show. Hopefully they don't try to replace EJ and Sami with people the exact same age. And trust, I understand about not liking/wanting the characters, but the days past comment makes no sense to me at all.
This isn't totally in response to this post, but the discussion reminds me of one of the reasons I think Days has struggled in recent decades. So many characters are so defined by their eras and their little cohorts of other characters they first interacted with. It's always a shame when a character comes back and doesn't get better integrated into the show as it is now.

This basically killed Vivian's return. How do you get VIVIAN wrong? They made it so she was so attached to Carly that nothing else even existed and it was silly. Yeah, she could have wanted revenge against Carly and all that, but she didn't get to do anything else and meet new people until she got that joke of a son that will hopefully be retconned if she ever returns. She was so attached to Carly that they felt the need to fire her when Chappell was gone.

I heard that GG's wife was pretty jealous and had a problem with some Safe
scenes and JS told his girlfriend to stop watching when Ejami got together
last year, and I see no need for him to touch her boobs it seems to be more
than duty calls.
Thats exactly right regarding her breasts. Certain things are out of bounds between actors. What James did was tantamount to sexual harrassment. If allison was okay with it,she either has no self respect or theres something going on between them.
that was one instance out of a billion and he probably touched them by mistake. tell the moral police to stand down.

I don't know anything about this, or when and how it happened but... The way she exposes her boobs constantly and the way she stomps around and storms through her scenes like a whirling dervish maybe it was purely the boobs fault. :blulaugh:

I think the time with the freezertruck was a mistake but he has touch them
On other times too, but I guess AS is okey with it. Anyway I don't think there
is anything between them just that they are really close which is rare
among two people who are just friends. The writers have said they never
seen two people with more chemistry.
The writers need eye exams.

About promoting a new actor to "leading man" after James leaves, I don't know who they can promote.

1) Galen is not a strong actor IMO. I think he can spark with the right leading lady, but Days hasn't found him one. Which is odd, because he was great on Passions opposite the actresses who played Sheridan and Fancy. Maybe one of them should be hired.

2) Greg Vaughan is a strong actor, BUT the character of Eric is dull and boring. You can't be a main leading man when your character is like sominex. GV could be a mesmerizing leading man, but the writing for him as a vanilla choir boy really limits him.

3) Eric Martsolf may not be the strongest actor, but he is really charismatic which makes Brady interesting. The problem is, again, the writing of Brady as a dumbass most of the time. He really clicks with Eileen, but what can you do when she's not around 9 months out of the year. They need to find him another strong screen partner.

The show really sucks when it comes to leading ladies, too. You will always have Marlena, Hope, and Jennifer, but you need to build for the future, too. AZ is a strong leading lady, but her pairing with Eric sucks, as does the writing for her lately. Kate Mansi is great, but I don't see her sticking around once her contract is up. And Jordan couldn't be more boring.

I want Marlena to have one if her daughters back, so I hope they can bring back Martha's Belle, Jay's Philip, and a recast Shawn.

A Shawn/Belle/Philip triangle could really set this show on fire for years to come.

I think the male characters on Days can be leading men imo.. As for the women I agree with you. The strong female actresses I know are Sarah Joy Brown, Tamara Braun, & Kelly Sullivan..As for more older leading women Valerie Wildman, Kim Johnston Ulrich(Passions Ivy Crane) would be perfect..I think Andrea Lynn Evan (Tina Lord One life to live) should play Jordan's mother :$

Shawn would have fallen overboard and presumed lost at sea. Belle and Claire return to Salem to be close to family. Claire can hang with Ciara. Belle can fall in love with whoever, and as much as I would like to keep Shawn dead, they could have him come back (new actor) and then you have a nice triangle.

Hope has Ciara, who the writers seem to love and who gets a lot of story and airtime for such a young character. Belle is John and Marlena's only child together. Give them a break! Hope and Aiden can have a baby down the road.
