Why is SD more important than Belle? Because he's a Horton/Brady? Because he's Bope's kid? I don't think either are more important than the other. I just think it's time for Belle to come back now, not his. His dad is gone and Hope has enough on her plate. J&M need someone to help get them back together. They have nothing/nobody right now. Brady could care less about them and Eric has always sided with his fauxfather.
Yes and yes. Bo being gone is one major reason why I think Shawn is important. Plus, J&M have five kids between the two of them and even with Sami gone, they'll have two adult kids onscreen. Hope needs that stronger connection to that age group. Shawn also grew up onscreen more. Shawn was the original bridge between the show's two main families, and I think that's more important. I definitely don't want to see Belle playing matchmaker. I think she's important, but if I had to choose between the two, I'd pick Shawn.

Hope has enough connections plus she's the town cop. I can't think of any reason why SD being home now is important. Hope doesn't need any connections to that age group. She is related to Jennifer and Her kids, plus Theresa and the entire Brady and Horton clans plus Doug and Julie. What does she need SD for? And I don't want belle to play matchmaker--I never said that. But she can certainly be a bridge to give J&M an excuse to at least be in the same room together. Brady might as well be an orphan in this town and Eric could care less about John.

I don't think she has enough connections. She seems randomly inserted most of the time.

I'd prefer they bring back both in addition to Philip.

I think with the talk of needing a break that maybe JS will be back sometime in the future preferably without being tied AS or Ejami. I do think a break could be good for the character and JS as well.

Especially since Peter doesn't want to return permanently, but would be willing to, for the fans, return to wrap up Bo's exit (which is still a really stupid idea).
I didn't know he was unwilling to return permanently. UGH! Sad. :(

There's a big difference between being related by family and having your own children/grandchildren around. If Abby's got a problem, she's gonna go to her mom, not her cousin/aunt (however you want to describe Hope & Abby's relationship). Theresa's gonna go to Eric, since the two of them are close. Marlena has Eric and Will to come to her to seek her advice.
Why should Hope being a Horton & having married a Brady be used against her? If anything, Shawn D being a Brady/Horton/Kiriakis would be more reason to bring him back. Victor could decide that Brady's too much of a flake to be in such a position of power in Titan and want to groom Shawn D to take over the company. That could cause all sorts of clashes between Hope & Shawn and Hope & Victor. I can think of all sorts of stories for Shawn, given his connections in Salem. But I can't really think of any stories for Belle other than running from John to Marlena trying to get them back together and being paired up with someone who isn't Shawn after explaining why she & Shawn aren't together, which would probably result in at least a partial destruction of Shawn's character.

Having Belle back around J&M would be nice, but if they intend to kill Bo and then pair Hope with Aidan, Shawn not being around would be beyond ridiculous. There is more urgency for Shawn to come back than Belle, IMO.

Cutting both of them in 2008 is a mistake the show never really recovered from in terms of having something solid in that age group and I hate that Shawn is not around for Ciara growing up and she is robbed of a closer relationship with Claire. I'm part of the minority that wants them apart if they ever come back, but I do think they are important.

I didn't know he was unwilling to return permanently. UGH! Sad. :(
Peter keeps flip-flopping on the issue, but the latest thing he said is what I said above. I think that if Ken promised him a contract like James or Ali had (i.e., a 4 episode guarantee) and constant story, he might be willing to return, but then I could see him complaining about how he's working so hard he never sees his family. I don't think there's really any way to win with him, and I'm betting he burned some bridges after all the failed talks with Ken after his exit.
People are always tweeting him asking if he's returning, when he's returning, or saying that Bo's being written like a dead-beat dad or that Hope & Ciara need Bo. I'm assuming his latest "sacrifice for the fans" is more so to keep his fans asking for Bo's return. Something tells me he doesn't want to never come back, but he's not being the smartest when it comes to going about it.
I do think that he's jealous that Kristian has a story, is enjoying it, and that they have given Hope another love interest. I think he's also seen enough chatter to know that people are actually accepting Hope & Aiden's romance instead of being outright against it due to their undying love & devotion for Bope.

I'm also totally down witrh Shawn, Belle, & Philip (JKJ!!! por favor, the others I don't really care)...It would make a lot of sense for that to happen. I'd also like some story for Lucas...maybe see his dark side again? Maybe some airtime with Theresa? I don't know...with AS & JS leaving, as many have stated, this seems like some serious budget opening up and two screen hogs being gone. With the loss of 2 "scheming villains" then I definitely think Philip returning would be perfect.

Bo and Hope had front burner stories for decades. So I wasn't surprised when they finally ended up on the backburner. After so many years together there just aren't anymore frontburner stories to tell. And Days doesn't do big adventure stories anymore. Peter leaving and giving Hope a new love interest has really rejuvenated her character. Hope never again is going to be the frontburner character she used to be, but she's got years of storyline possibilities now. I thing bringing back both Shawn and Belle now would be a good thing. I just have never liked them together as a couple.

Hope without Bo has opened lots of story opportunities for her. That's why I'm kind of disappointed about JS leaving. EJ without Sami and not having any chance of getting her back could have done wonders for the character. Even though I haven't been an EJ fan in years, I hope he's just taking a break and we'll see him back in about a year.

I think Shawn is more important than Belle.
Wow, I completely disagree. Belle (Martha's version) is definitely superior. Not only is she the only child of supercouple J&M, but she was in a successful love triangle and popular with more than one leading man.

I'm not opposed to Shawn coming back, but we already have plenty of leading men in his age group. How many leading ladies do we have? Only one - in the form of Arianne Zucker.

I'm not opposed to Shawn coming back, but I definitely want them to come back divorced: Bring back Belle first and have her establish herself with her nursing career and family, then bring back Jay's Philip and - 6 months later - Shawn. This is a love triangle the show can sink it's teeth into: a young woman in love with two men.

Shawn/Belle/Philip triangle should be ruling this show. The WTD story with Claire, and Belle cheating on Shawn with Philip were excellent and critically acclaimed stories.

It makes no sense that they are gone. This is the John/Marlena/Roman triangle of the next generation.

Quoting limited to 4 levels deep
The post doesn't say or even imply that they've said that. Fwiw, I think they've both wanted to leave for a while. I don't think Ali's decision is it all tied up in James', but I do bet James' is tied into hers. But you're not going to find a quote on that, because it's my opinion. And yeah, I think that would be dumb on his part, but it's not like I have a very high opinion of these people.
LOL, do not want to start any rumor here but some have said that EJ is hung up on Sami, maybe JS is hung up on Ali? Mean no harm :)

I doubt they are more than friends but I do find it a little strange that AS real life husband doesn´t have a problem with him touching her boobs and how close they are.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HmtkIJRZPSw
I love this video. Brandon came close but imo Ej always looked like he wanted to eat her up. There was a strong sexual attraction that I haven't seen with any of the other Sami pairings. I also haven't seen EJ act that way with any other woman either.

Gotta love method acting.

I agree. It's the chemistry from this time frame (in both the video and the scene pictured in your banner) that sucked me in so completely back in the day. And even throughout all the years of absolutely horrendous writing for this pairing (the Sydnapping, the shooting, Fafe, etc.) I still was drawn to any scenes they shared together - to the point that it pissed me off that I couldn't seem to shake it.

In the end, from an EJami fan perspective I'm happy they are essentially leaving at the same time and hope it bodes well for the end of their story. But I have to admit, as much as it sounds like Ali and James need a break...I could use one, too. It's been exhausting trying to explain to family and friends why I have gotten so caught up in this fictional story. :blush: :lol:

I don't think that's true. The successful part of Belle/Philip/Shawn lasted about five minutes and she never clicked with BB or JC. I enjoy Martha but romantic chemistry wasn't her strong suit. I think it's one of those miscasting issues because she's fine on The Bay. She's not really an ingenue.

I feel the same way. I find their chemistry so addicting especially from that era and while their chemistry is unwavering, the writing doesn't showcase it properly with the exception of scenes like "take me somewhere Diane won't hear me scream"-plotting-Nick's- death- while- having- sex.

I'm just so glad that I won't have to see EJ be redeemed.
