If he had it to do all over again he would have re-written the scene so that Sami was the one offering the sex in exchange for his help. His exact words when describing the re-write of the scene: “I’ll fuck you if you save Lucas… I mean I’ll have sex with you.”

Nice of him to want to throw Ali's character, who she has played for all of her adult life and some of her childhood, under the bus.

However, if it HAD played out that way, I still don't think poor widdle James would be avoiding the rape debate. If EJ still agreed to save Lucas only if Sami had sex with him, it was still not truly consensual... even though Sami would have been the one suggesting it because she already knew what EJ wanted.
Do you remember what she told him? She took her lover’s hand, and she said, “just because something is intangible doesn't mean that it's not real.” Lucas, no matter what happens, no matter what we’ve been through, no matter what I say, you will always be in my heart. -- Sami Brady, November 2007

...

Is this guy for real? Seriously? Does his brain lack some fundamental piece of hardware?

Geesh. For crying out loud, Days, fire him and kill off his character already.

JS seriously needs to get some help.

And Days, sigh...it pains me to say this, needs to get it's act together and address this once and for all.

I watched bits and pieces of GH with the Kristina stuff that happened recently, and it was wonderfully address on and off-screen (with writeups and such). It's frustrating that Days didn't go along the same route - address it properly, do articles about it, and PSAs. Nobody deserves to be raped ever. I'm surprised how they are going about it.

Now somebody correct me if I'm wrong but when Sami was raped by Alan (I wasn't watching then), was it addressed? I found some clips of it on YouTube and just seeing the stuff sends shivers down my spine.

Also, I find it intriguing how some ask how one can be a Jack fan since he raped Kayla. See, the difference between Jack and EJ is the following:

a) Matt Ashford rocks and I adore the pairing of Jack/Jenn
b) Jack went to court, was charged with assault and refused to call it rape (but it was addressed somehow)
c) Jenn is a victim of rape herself, and Jack was able to see how rape and it's consquences affect the victim.
d) There's a long history of rape on Jack's side.


As for EJ.. I don't give a crap.... All I know he hasn't paid for his damn sins.



I think I'll shut up now...I'm rambling :(

Maybe James should take his own advice. If this is just a TV show ans he's an actor than he needs ro get over the issue. He played a rapist as an actor and he's always going to be a rapist. If he wants to stop hearing stuff than quit. Because EJ will always be Sami's rapist. TPTB can rewrite anything they want but the look of utter disgust om Samis face will always be in the back of my mind. If James wants the issue to go away maybe he should tell the writers he doesn't want to be paired with the victim or maybe in interviews admit it was a rape and it was wrong.

In the past, James admitted in interviews that it was rape.

Then he decided which side his crazy bread was buttered on and changed his position.

He just made a joke about it at Day of Days last year when someone asked him something about acting choices or something ... I forget exactly what the question was, but his response was something like, "I find that my past rape convictions have really helped" or some dumb arse thing like that ... cuz you know, rape is soooo funny.

the thing is it was written as RAPE from the start. ALL characters involved including EJ called it rape. and rape is a serious issue. once you decide bring up an issue on tv even if it's "JUST A SHOW" you got to do it right. i just hope James will realize the power of pop culture and television and how serious rape is before he ever gets a daughter or even a wife.

EXACTLY!! I too will NEVER forget the look on Sami's face when EJ started raping her! She was freaking CRYING for heaven's sake! I'm sorry but the people who think that was by any means consentual in any way need serious help! I truly wonder about the self esteems of the women in the Rapemi fanbase, because they obviously have none! (bh)

JS comments were just wrong if he's tired of hearing it he should have just said I wished the writers never would have had EJ rape Sami.

His comments were rude and hurtful towards the GA who are full of women mostly and men as well and rape isn't just something that happens to women, men can get raped too so comments belittleing how awful it is, is wrong and JS should have to come out and say he was wrong and just say I'm sorry I wasn't thinking when I said what I did.

ou know, his fans are just like him, so this doesn't surprise me. But whats me out is they almost seem cultish. Its like James is a god who can do no wrong. Am I the only one who feels this way? The whole 40 of them would follow James everywhere...frightening stuff..

James has always had a bad attitude about it. Remember the article about Lucas returning from prison (or around that time) they did the article on Ej and Sami having sex and James said something like "Maybe all the rape BS can end now" Sure James..NOW we will forget ALLL about it!! Sure..

James' fans are doing him serious damage. Last year he had the unmitigated gall to tell me that his fans told him that 2C was trying to get him fired and he'd heard things from them. Um, no but if they don't want to be known as liars, I'll be happy to turn up the heat.

They have lied about their numbers, they can't pull in the ratings and go all ape poop when they don't get their way. They have ruined the show for everyone and sucked the life out of the online community. Instead of letting James be tested with other actresses where he might have a chance of staying on the show, they demand it's their way or the highway. So long, farewell, au revior, auf weidersen.

I know all the E J A M I fans take anything you say about the rape as a insult to them. The only thing I agree with them on is we don't like Rafe their boring together.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who sees Rafe as Brandon 2.0! Just like Chloe was Carrie 2.0, lol. Rafe & Brandon are pretty much exactly the same. Goodlooking, boring nice guy. One day Sami will do something to screw this up too and Luis er..I mean Rafe will be on the next plane back to the now defunct Passions set, lol.

I was thinking he was more boring then Austin and that's saying something. What gets me is the 40 say that Sami raped Austin, she was a mere child when she did this. Ej was not..Although he should be like 12...he was majorly sorased and badly sorased..

Even if say Sami did "rape" Austin (which I'm not buying because Austin was truly dumb as rocks and Sami was what 16?), I never wanted Sami with Austin at any time, ever. I remember telling my friends to call me when Sami finally gets over her Austin obsession and moves on. And I feel the same way about Rapemi. I want EJ to get over his obsession with Sami and move far away (preferably off the show) but if he has to stay then towards either Nicole or Arianna but as long as he is far away from Sami then that's all that matters.

There were actually two people who raped Laura on GH. Luke was the first and he still deals with it to this day what he did. When Laura was kidnapped and on the Cassadine Island, Stavros raped her and had almost the same attitude EJ did about raping Sami. He saw it as consentual, when obviously it wasn't. Of course, that is how Nikolas came to be(the only good thing that came out of it, when he is being a nice guy of course). So I have an analogy for you.

Luke is to Jack as Stavros is to EJ(whether they like it or not).

The biggest difference to me about Austin's rape was that we didn't see the pure utter disgust in Austin's face as we did in Sami's...he thought he was making love to Carrie...sure it was still rape and frankly the worse thing about Ej's rape is that he not only got away with it, but he has been getting away with EVERYTHING since and it took Sami months to get him to even admit that he raped her while torturing her and trying to kill her family. Rapemi will never work because too many people see Ej as the evil villain, Stefano's replacement (if they want to keep him they should consider that total move). If JS doesn't want to talk to the media about stuff that his controversial character does then he should consider another profession.

I agree that what Sami did to Austin constitutes rape but it has absolutely nothing to do with the fact that EJ raped Sami. They are like little kids who want to excuse their own bad behavior by ratting out a classmate. No one ever advocated for Sami to be with Austin and that is precisely why that rape is a non-issue. The two are not a couple and have no ties to one another. If JS and his 40 fans would like an end to the EJ raping Sami issue, the solution is simple. The show can easily make Lucas the father of all of Sami's children, reveal Nicole as Sydney's mother and ship EJ off to Switzerland - Problem solved.

That's exactly what I have been saying. Sami was not mature enough at 16 to truly get what she had done to Austin was very wrong. Ej is a fully grown man. I refuse to call him mature. He has no idea what mature is, epecially when it actualality Ej is like 12. Obvisoulsy the writer's sorased Ej's body but not his brain. If he had the true mind of an adult, not one that's been warped by Stefano Dimera, he might get that what he did was wrong. Ej however, will never get it bc he has no idea what love truly is. He is in obsession with Sami. This whole storyline reminded me of Marlena, queen if the night. All that has to be done is to have Sami locked up in a cage by the dasterdly Ej. This is truly disgusting on the part of James, the writers and his fans to behave this way.
Truly a disgusting bunch any way you slice it. I am much prouder to be apart of the nicer fan base, of the free thinking indivduals that aren't part of the Borg hive. Sorry, got off on a tangent.

The part that really ticks me off, quite frankly, is Ali. Sami was raped once before, and Ali of all people should have stepped up and said this was wrong. The rape itself she had no control over, but the pairing with EJ.. I don't believe for a second that golden Girl Alison Sweeney had no say so whatsoever.
