I never stated exactly when Ali's last week would be. I stated that the last week they tape in May (which seems to be May 19-23) would be the latest she could tape (based on her saying she's leaving in May), but who knows. Today is May 2, so could she possibly have finished up today too? If not, then it would be sometime in the last two weeks they tape in May (May 12-16 or May 19-23). |

EJ as a doctor on GH has possibilities. |

I'm not surprised but I sure will miss him. Best of luck to James! I like how he did. Just under the radar. Boom. I'm out this. |

No more trials for Sami.I still shudder when I think of her last trial.As much as I hate the thought I would rather see EJ and Sami ride off into the sunset together or more Fecth than sit though another trial with Sami as the defendant and center of attention. |

I really wouldn't be surprised if Ali is already done, too. Deidre had several episodes this week, so that would fit. Also, Deidre brought her roses. I kind of don't think her last day would go by with no fanfare, but I also wouldn't be shocked if she announced on Ellen Tuesday that she's already done. |

I'd bet money Ali is done already too. If she's there, she's directing and not filming in my opinion. |

I can't say I'm surprised, and I'm glad there will be no chance of EJabby, but I will certainly miss seeing EJ on my screen. He is the reason I started back watching DOOl after a very long hiatus. With JS and AS leaving I hope the writers pick it up so there will be something to hold my interest. I really want to love Days again. |

If James Scott were to take that role, I hope he's good enough to can the accent and sound like an arrogant American. A British Adam Newman would be simply unbearable IMO. Plus, if JS thinks he knows soap fans from EJami, just wait till he runs into the rabid Michael Muhney crowd. He better be thick skinned and wear body armor. :'( |

I'm hoping for a huge overhaul, too. IMO, With Theresa and Eve on the show, it's time to bring back shim and let them be the new Shawn and Caroline. Let Ben go and bring back Andrew... Now is really the time to go younger. It's just a shame that Nick is getting killed off (again). I'll never understand why they keep voluntarily letting their best younger actor go. |

you're prob right. What a waste if true. They could really create some story & drama with this. Instead they're probably getting a happily ever after which is hella boring. |

I have to admit my surprise when I saw the title of this thread in all caps. I'm not a big EJ fan. There are times, however, I do enjoy him but too many others .... Hoping the departure of both JS and AS means more screen time for those I care about, Jarlena, Haiden, Justin & Adrienne and Lucas. I enjoyed Sami and Rafe but when Lucas returned I realized how much more tolerable and interesting Same was with Lucas. I'm sure it has more to do with the chemistry between AS and BD, they've been working together for 20 years. I hope the children stay. Didn't they just recast Sydney, again? If Sami HAS to leave Salem because she is on the lamb, or she and EJ are on the lamb, it would certainly make sense for Allie to live with her father. I can see Lucas raising Johnny as well. It wouldn't be right to separate the twins who are losing their mother. As far as Sydney is concerned, she and Nicole always will have a special relationship. And since Eric is Sami's twin, having Eric and Nicole raise Sydney would not be that far-fetched (sorry, didn't mean to use that word). |

I guess that would mean Sami forgives him for the affair, if that truth ever comes out. |

It would have been interesting to see EJ in Salem without Sami for the first time. But I'm happy about this because as a DiMera fan, I always felt the writers only cared about EJ and treated all the other DiMeras as afterthoughts, except for Kristen this past year. I can't help but wonder what this means for Stefano/Joe. I wouldn't be suprised if we soon hear about his exit too. With him getting up there in years, EJ leaving and Kristen only being back short-term, the show desperately needs to bring on another villain. I have some suggestions. 1. Let the DiMeras rest for awhile and then bring back Tony, once Craptini has grown tired of Thaao as Victor Cassadine. 2. Bring back the Alamains. They can just say that Lawrence faked his death when Carly stabbed him. 3. How about Alex Marshall? He's been in prison for almost 30 years. It's time for him to be released and avenge his grandson's murder. 4. Bring on a completely new villain. Or a new crime family. Unfortunately, TomSell are just like Higley, they can only create short-term villains like Liam. |

I don't want Sami to voluntarily remain with EJ if she finds out he cheated with Abby.I hope there is Stefano blackmail involved.That could work if he gets his hands on all of the negatives and photographs of Kate/Sami/Gabi and EJ/Abby. |

I'm not surprised at all. As I said a few days ago, there was nothing in that Michael Fairman interview that indicated that James Scott was staying, but there was something that could have indicated that he was leaving. I never liked E.J. or James Scott, so I'm happy about this -- although I have been more focused on hating Nick lately, so if I had been forced to choose one over the other, I would have gone with Nick leaving and E.J. staying. But now I don't have to choose, since they're apparently both leaving! :yahoo: I wish James the best, but I don't believe that he is a good enough actor to have a thriving acting career outside of soaps -- especially not in blockbuster films (the very thought of that is laughable to me) -- unless he makes some major changes to his acting style. But that's just my opinion. I'll miss Sami, but I can do without her -- she just doesn't annoy me like she annoys many of you, my fellow DR members. I'm genuinely excited about the future of this show, though. This has the opportunity to completely rejuvenate the show and give it a completely different vibe (while still being the show that we know and love, of course). I could definitely see the writers changing Johnny's paternity and Sydney's maternity if they want to keep those kids around, but they might not want to. Of course, even if they do want to keep the kids around, there are many other ways to deal with them that don't involve changing their biological parentage -- aging them (which, if we're being honest, probably should have already been done at this point -- like the actors or not, the fact remains that Theo, Johnny, Allie, and Ciara have been protected from the SORASing bug for quite a while at this point); giving them to Chad or Kristen to raise as DiMeras; giving them to Lucas or Marlena to raise as Horton/Bradys in an effort to protect them from the DiMera legacy (only to have them -- or, at the very least, Johnny -- later learn that he's the product of a rape, also learn all of the other things that E.J. has done, and turn into a darker character despite Lucas or Marlena's best efforts to prevent that from happening); giving them the Joey treatment; killing one or both of them off (I know that a lot of people hate watching storylines about children dying, but it's still a fact of life, and Johnny has suffered from cancer in the past); giving them to Stefano and having nannies raise them; giving them to Abe to raise with Theo; sending them off with E.J. or Sami if one or both of them are still alive when they exit the show (the more likely candidate in this scenario being Sami, I'd think) -- and those are just the ones that I was able to come up with off the top of my head in a matter of minutes. It would be kind of funny to SORAS one twin but not the other, as a wink-and-nod to the fact that they have always seemed to develop at different rates, but that would be ridiculous, of course. |

Best of luck to James Scott. I'l certainly miss him. Time to put Bryan Dattilo back on contract! This might sound silly, but I'm really going to miss the kids if they leave too. Hopefully Allie stays with Lucas. Maybe Johnny and Sydney could stay with Nicole and Eric if Sami & EJ can't take them for whatever reason. |
