I remember the Salem Serial Killer fake out. I haven't trusted much about this show since then. lol
That's sort of my point, though. Fake-outs aren't exactly new -- to this show or to pop culture in general. I was never convinced -- in the weeks leading up to the episode in question or while it was airing -- that it would be real, and I'm not the only one who expressed skepticism. In fact, I'm absolutely positive that at least one person predicted beforehand that it would be a dream on this very site. So I don't understand why this particular fake-out made some people so upset and jaded about the trustworthiness of future information about the show. Maybe it's just because it involved Sami and E.J., and a lot of people have a tendency to take anything involving that couple to extremes anyway, but really, there is no more of a possibility of future fake-outs now than there was before this particular fake-out aired.

Shouldn't there be someone on set making sure things like that don't happen? I know shows have such people who watch out that extras and other people taking pictures don't catch something spoilerish with their cameras. Game of Thrones is a great example. I've heard stories from their sets (which are all over the world) about people's phones being taken from them if they tried taking pictures of something they shouldn't have taken. Also, I think their extras have it in their working contracts that they mustn't post any pictures from the set on any social networking site until after the season they are filming has aired.

So, why can't Days, which isn't that big of a show in comparison, make sure no spoilers are leaked via pictures?

Lysie was commenting on that in this post on page 19 of the thread.

There are some BTS things that are a tad different right now and have been for several weeks. I THINK that the person/people who would normally be watching this kind of thing isn't there anymore.

Several theories ..

Perhaps the person(s) who job duties included guarding the set from leaks
isn't (aren't) working there anymore,

or perhaps   he/she/they   was/were   simply out sick that day,
or on a coffee break at that moment?

OR ...

the show *allowed* it to be leaked ... but who knows why?

Seriously. Is Drake and NBC store employee now?
Well, he's barely got any airtime, so I guess they figured they'd use him for something!
Ha if Days ever does go off the air, they can make it that John is a maintenance worker somewhere and he dreamed the entire soap opera during his time mopping floors and fixing things! He could work for DOOL property management or something. The "soap" he has dreamed up over the years ends on his retirement day.

Haha, I hope Terrell's mom doesn't get into trouble for the placement of that photograph!
why would there be a problem with that pic? Is there something in the background I am missing?

It actually looks a lot like EJ's pic had intentionally been placed so that it would be seen in the bacground.. It's pretty much directly facing AS, Terrell and the person taking the pic. But if EJ faces a sudden death (preferably a bullet aimed by Sami) and doesn't die of an illness, I wish the show had made sure that the secret wouldn't have been leaked by anyone. It would be nice to get a good OMG moment while (hypothetically) watching Days (as I refuse to watch because of the destruction of J&M). The fake-out episode came very close to that but it doesn't count, cuz it never happened..

Check out the urn with the picture of EJ next to it.
YAY I can still hold onto the hope of Sami killing EJ
Are we certain that it is an urn? James Scott's interviews indicates that his character is not killed off.

If someone were to kill him....
**Jennifer could kill him for having sex with Abby.
**Abby could kill him because she is nuts
**He could kill himself after affair with Abby is revealed.
**Friend of Nick could off him
**Dimera enemy could off him

The show may be intentionally posting these pics to throw people off. They've been "accidently" tweeting these things a lot lately. After the April 21 episode I don't trust anything. I would be shocked if Ej was really dead.
I agree on not trusting this show but If they do fake his death, I think it'll be Stefano's doing and Sami will be in the dark. I don't see how Sami can justify making Syd and Johnny believe their father is dead knowing that he isn't. It would be too cruel to have them grief for 2 weeks (or more) it seems only to have them see him alive and well in a secluded secret spot. It can happen but I think it's less likely. I can see Stefano though doing it though....without second thoughts. I think it's possible that Sami and Kate agree to have Sami run Countess W's chicago office or something....and she goes there...it's not that far from Salem apparently and it offers her the opportunity to return for events as AS wants Sami to do.

Maybe Stefano fakes EJīs death and then in Samiīs last episode he reveals to her that Sami is alive and they get reunited.

Apart from that I donīt think JSīs interviews would make sense about the Ejami fans gonna be happy if the summer is all about detroying Ejami I also donīt think it would make sense from the writers. If they didnīt want Ejami to be the rootable couple why put Ejami together in the first place instead of Safe or Lumi. They should pick a direction and stick to it, and if they wanted to end them they should have just done that instead of dragging it out for an entire year. I could have been fine with an other direction if the writers just let me know where the story is going and who I am suppose to root for.

I can't think of any other fake outs that were like one on the 21st - ones that got spoiler articles and that didn't have any affect on the story at all. IIRC, there was a season of Dallas that was a dream, that might not have affected anything, but how many people really remember that?

I remember now what it was JS was saying in the Michael Fahrman interview that made it seemed that he was hinting at a HEA for Ejami. First he said that he understood if the Ejamis felt betrayed by the Ejabby affair but it gonna make more sense and they gonna like where the storyline is going. He also said that he was disapointed with the storyline at first but after being explained to him he came to enjoy it, which sounded like he had been reasurred that the Ejabby affair wouldnīt be the end of Ejami.

I'd LOVE it if everyone thinks Ej died and then James final clip is of Ej and Stefano on an island smoking big fat cigars with a chess table set up between them. I can just hear their Dimera chortles. THAT would be a befitting ending imo.

I'd say that a lot of people know about it. People know about the "it was only a dream" thing that have never even watched a single minute of Dallas. St. Elsewhere also famously revealed in its series finale that the entire series had been a dream, and Newhart did the same thing in its series finale. It's a very famous trope.

And the current Days writing team has done other fake-outs in the recent past that have extended for multiple segments of an episode before finally being revealed to be fantasy or dream sequences. J.J. had one about telling Jennifer and Abby the truth about Theresa's overdose, Nicole had one about Chyka breaking into her hotel room and taunting her about the fact that she had shredded the evidence that could have proven Eric's innocence, Gabi had one about Nick taking her to the river and drowning her. And that's just off the top of my head. They didn't last as long as the fake-out in E.J. and Sami's episode, and other things were happening around those sequences with other storylines, but the concept itself is certainly not new, nor had it been a long time since it had been utilized on Days before that particular episode aired.

By "remember" I don't mean "are aware of," I mean actually "remember" as in, you saw it unfold, then went back and watched the next year knowing that that entire season had no affect on the overall story. And a series finale, doesn't count, because the show is over; there's nothing else left to invest in at that point.

I don't think any of your examples are comparable to what happened on the 21st. If the show hadn't lead people to believe that this was the reveal, by doing an SOD article on it, having actors say the episode marked a turning point (which doesn't actually seem to be true), etc. it wouldn't have annoyed people as much as it did. The problem wasn't the dream itself, the problem was the false advertising. The show promised that something important would happen, and it didn't.

Yeah, I have considered that, and I thought about mentioning it in one of my previous posts, but I decided to just mention the theory about how everything involving Sami and E.J. seems to be taken to extremes instead. But I still don't see why any of that was taken at face value in the first place instead of being met with at least a bit of skepticism. I'm really not trying to blow my own horn here, but I know that none of those comments or articles did anything to convince me that the reveal was gong to actually happen in that episode, because it just didn't make any sense that the reveal would have suddenly happened at that particular time. I was certain that the reveal would occur during E.J. and Sami's wedding, as tradition dictates, and no amount of interviews or articles could have convinced me otherwise. It's not like I'm any smarter than anyone else here, and it's not like no one has ever written a misleading article or given a misleading interview or touted a storyline in a way that turned out to be false before, so why were so many people so willing to believe this and so annoyed that their "trust" in the show had been broken when it turned out to be a fake-out? Wishful thinking? :shrug:

I mean, people are always saying here that Ken Corday is a liar and that they never believe anything that he says. They've been saying that for years -- long before the articles and interviews about this fake-out surfaced. I've seen people display skepticism in response to things Alison Sweeney has said before, things James Scott has said before, things Jen Lilley has said before, and so on. (If that last name confuses anyone, I'm only mentioning Jen because she is one of the most recent examples I can think of who has said things in interviews that people here have been skeptical about. It didn't matter that those things had appeared in Soap Opera Digest articles -- people still declared that she couldn't be believed [and they were right].) I just don't get why this particular time should have been any different, but for whatever reason, it clearly was.

Yeah Im thinking she actually filmed though. Maybe thats why Deidre didnt post it? Im not sure why the show would care either way. Sami's exit should be a big deal with some cast returns if needed. She probably just visited though.
