Though it is possible she last taped today, I would think that would make news as well.
I really hope the show is able to use these exits as a way to rejuvenate and reinvigorate the show and cast. It has done a good job in the last two years making it an ensemble show. Sami and EJ have had storylines but they haven't been the only focus like they mostly were from 2009 to 2012.

The show should really let other talent shine now. Bryan Datillo, Mary Beth Evans, Deidre Hall, Judi Evans, James Reynolds, and Wally Kurth should all be given more material.
I also think some fan favorites should be brought back such as Shawn, Belle, Phillip, Carrie, etc.
Does anyone know when Kate Mansi's contract is up? I don't see her renewing so I wonder why they would bother with Ben and Chad.
We could see SORASING of characters as well. I could see Claire, Ciara , and other next generation kids being brought to the forefront.
Overall, this show has a real opportunity to make it better despite these changes. I'm excited and hope they take some of my advice above. I don't want to see this show turn into a Dannifer focused show either.

Kate's contract is up in December I believe. I really hope she stays but everyone seems to be leaving. :shrug:

It would be very boring and another wasted opportunity if they get a HEA. I would love it if Kami burned down the Dimera Mansion with Stefano and EJ inside...only one body found. Sami takes the kids and skips town.

I always thought Rafe's dad could turn out to be Ernesto Toscano. Whatever happened to that character? Did he "die"? I just don't want it to be Jordan's dad. Too new of a character and not enough ties to others to make it big.

I am very happy for other characters to get a chance in the spotlight. It's about time. Ej and Sami both have been in the spotlight for too long. Buh Bye! But go out with a bang or a boom...not love and roses.

I'm almost positive Ali is done taping. The flowers from Deidre and her "announcement" Monday on Ellen.

I say bring back Shane and Kim and bring Andrew along with them. He's an open book so you can do what you want there.

Bring back Shawn, Belle, Philip, Stephanie, maybe Chloe. That is the age group they should be focused on and basically all of those characters have driven story and been leads at one point or another. It makes zero sense why they aren't on canvas.

Bring in a new crime family headed by Vincent Irrizary. I would say connect him to Jordan as an ex-husband or something and have him run drugs and/or weapons through Salem AND try to take over the hospital since the Hortons are slacking and EJ is leaving. Make some other board members disappear. VI could also be Bev's dad and befriend Anne since Anne would likely welcome anyone but the Hortons running the hospital.

There are just so many possibilities that I can't be upset with James Scott's exit, even though I do like him and sometimes like EJ. The amount of airtime opening up is going to be insane. I mean I think its safe to say we won't get MORE Dannifer because they are already on so damn much.

I forgot to mention that Bryan Dattilo is probably partying his ass off right now and I don't blame him. Jamey Giddens seemed to hint that Bryan will be more of a lead character in the near future after these exits take place so I think that's great.

Continue to build on Hope and Aiden and actually give them enough airtime to move the story and give Mary Beth Evans and Judi Evans more work. I think the show would be MUCH more enjoyable. If only Dannifer could go their separate ways.

I'm disappointed that we haven't heard anything about any returns for Sami's exit.

I thought KM indicated she would be willing to stay under the right circumstances.I could see her staying if she received more money,more story,and the opportunity to do other projects if the opportunity arose for her to do something outside of Days.I hope she signs again or atlest extends with new terms atleast until the renewel date to give the show the time to bring back other charcters and add new characters as warranted.Maybe Carrie is coming back hopefully with Austin based on the casting for the blue eyed baby.

Life is awesome

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.

So, he's leaving a couple weeks before AS, right? Wonder what that means storyline-wise...
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).
I chatted with BD quite a bit in ATL & besides Our discussion about AS & bad wardrobe choices he
also made a comment about AS & her taping at Days.

A friend was mentioning to BD that she had a gift to send to the studio for AS
& BD told her to send it ASAP because AS wasn't going to be there after this week.


Now who knows how accurate his info was but makes some sense & who knows

As someone else said, SC definitely had the longest line at the cocktail party.
He stood there until the end of the event while most of the other guys
mingled or danced.
I do know that some women lined up a couple of times lol
Ari wasn't there this time it was 5 guys
Blake, Eric, Greg, Bryan & Shawn

EXCLUSIVE! JAMES SCOTT DONE AT DAYS
By SOD • Posted: May 2, 2014


After eight years in Salem, James Scott wraps up his run as EJ DiMera today, May 2, though with the show's production schedule, he will air well into the fall. "We are saddened but supportive of James Scott's decision to leave the show after eight years to take some personal time and pursue new projects," said NBC/Corday Productions in a statement to Digest. "His contribution to the show has been tremendous and we wish him the best always." In his own statement, Scott said, "I would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to NBC, Sony and Corday, particularly Ken Corday, for the amazing 8 year run on Days of our Lives and for graciously supporting me in my decision in leaving the show to take personal time. To the unbelievably loving fans, I can’t begin to express my gratitude for your love and support over the years. I will miss you immensely."
The only bad thing about this that I can envision is that it could mean Sami and Elvis leave together as a couple, which could mean they come back as a couple.

Not the least surprised. I knew in my gut he was leaving LOL and I have said so. I will miss Ej because he has a special place in my heart. On the other hand, I could not be happier for James. IMO, he is so talented and charismatic that he is meant to do great things outside of Days. I support his decision 100% and I will continue to support him in his new projects.

I am grateful for the amazing eight years he has given his fans and I will cherish the memories. but all good things must come to an end.

Part of me is relieved because I can finally move on from this show as Ali/Sami and E/james were the only reasons I kept watching. Once they are gone, I will be too. I have been disappointed with the writing for years, but even more the past few months. Ejami/Jamison kept me hanging in there because I am addicted to them. So in a way this as a blessing in disguise.

Knowing it is ending soon, I will enjoy the last few months of Ejami/Jamison as much as possible.

I'm probably not as shocked about this as I should be. What I want to know is what happens to the kids if EJ and Sami are both gone.

(Also, I'm more baffled about the writers tanking Ericole if they weren't planning to pair up Ejole in the wake of AS's departure.)
They better take the kids with them.

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.
And I also wouldn't be shocked if she returns the week after next to clean up her dressing room and have a party with cake and all

Belle should at least be brought back. She's in the perfect age group which the show is so sorely lacking right now.

I agree I would love to see Carrie back. I don't care for Austin so he can stay away.
