Days has had a long and distinguished history of abrupt, nonsensical exits. Even during the glory days, you had people going to mail a letter and never being seen again, or going upstairs and not coming down for most of a decade with no explanation.

A kick ass exit would have been nice, but I have a hard time feeling personally insulted that Bryan-- like Stephen and Mary Beth, like Dee and Drake-- didn't get one.

(I do feel personally insulted by the yay-rape stuff. And I do think Bryan was treated badly... just not uniquely or because of the non-exit.)
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

Yeah this is true. Jamie went upstairs at the pub and never came down, so did Cassie. Other less important characters have gotten better send offs.

I think my favorite non-sendoff was Dr. Neil Curtis. He went to do "rounds, lots and lots of rounds" and was never seen at the hospital again, though he was heard being paged a few times within a year or two of leaving.

It's not that Bryan is the end all be all of the show. It's just that he's a Horton and he didn't want to leave. He wanted a decent story and they could have given him that.

EJ is just the latest in a long line of demented DiMera offspring. The only one that had any real place in Salem was Tony (sorry I can't stand that sanctimonious skank, Lexie), so of course who did they kill off? Way to go guys, thanks. The only DiMera that is needed now is Stefano. Joe is a great actor and in spite of all the wicked things he's done, he's like a ramped up version of Victor. He's hilariously nasty. You love to hate him, as opposed to just hate him.

I watched the show long before Bryan was on and he was never my reason for watching. He was however a big part of my reason for leaving.
I (h) what you've said about the Dimera's!!! LONG LONG AGO before all of these Dimera "heirs" started popping up I always said Stefano was the only Dimera needed. Tony for me was always kind of like a "mini-me" version of Stefano, only evil when he was prodded to be but entertaining to watch so I could always give him a pass. Lexie...no sorry I never really thought she should have been a Dimera and always felt that it ruined her character completely for me. EJ...well the minute that it was announced who he was and that he was the baby that Susan left Salem with only 10 years before, became unbelievable to me from that very announcement. But Joe is a great actor and he's spent many years perfecting his role as Stefano and I have to say that when he's been gone I've always felt that something was missing. I do love to hate him and my husband of 16 years only really pays attention when he sees Stefano on-screen. "Whoa that's Stefano! What's he up to now? Tell me!" It's actually quite cute!

Like many others I've watched the show long before Bry/Lucas and Ali/Sami so I have other favorites but unfortunately TIIC have removed most of them from my screen. Jack/Jenn were my original reason for watching. I still remember watching Jenn give birth to Abbie during history class in High School (our teacher was far too busy with wrestling to be bothered with what we were doing and often let us watch Days in the classroom so that he could concentrate on coaching) and Sami kind of just wandered in and caught my attention and of course Lucas after her.

I would be very happy if Jack and Jenn came back along with possibly Abby and Jack jr...As long as Jack jr isn't sorased beyond belief I am ok with him coming back.

I would be immensely happy too if Shawn and Belle came back with Claire in tow...

But of course, I want my Bryan most of all..

I second that. But I really like Melanie and Nathan love Phillip and Stephanie grates me so I guess they are doing something right.. Since I have not been watching though I can't really determine what I do not like about the others. I know Elvis has got to go and he should have been gone a while ago no entire town is that tolerant or stupid. They should have already castrated him

I think for me it was the continued disrespect towards veterans that finally pushed me over the edge. The last straw was letting Bryan go. The writing has been terrible for the last couple of years and they don't take the time to tell a really good story. The show lacks relationship development, laughter, happiness, love and most of all family. There are really no characters I care enough about to hang on to watch. And lastly, when they destroyed lumi for a rapist, I pretty much gave up on the show. Why is it that you destroy a relationship that evolved over two decades for some slim bucket. Lumi had a lot of angst and romance. Why doesn't this count as something important for the show to promote. No we have to pimp rape. (bh) OK I'm finished now.

Well I thought I was finished with my ranting. I just watched all of Norma's clips and I could scream at this show. Memories came flooding back about the old Days and all I want are the vets to return.

TODAY'S CURRENT STORY LINES TRULY SUCK THE BIG ONE!!!!

Please Days get rid of all the newbies and bring back people who can act and who can inject life back into this show. Man I want Lucas, Jennifer, Jack, and Mike. I want Kayla and Steve. I love the new Bill. And frankly for a little angst with Mike bring back Carrie for that matter. Thought their little scene was interesting and possibly foreshadowing. Bring them all back for gosh sakes and save this show.

You know what I found truly annoying, most of the scenes with Sami this week. All her dribble about Rafe and the rapist just forced me to fast forward through her scenes. I am beyond caring about her character anymore. Regardless, having thought about the past there is no way the true Sami would be living in the DiMera mansion or even pining over the rapist. There is no way that Sami and Kate would ever have civil words between them. There is no way that Carrie would even support Sami with the rapist. She would have reminded Sami about the past and all the terrible things the rapist did. There is no way that Will would be sucked into the crap and actually tolerate the rapist. And there is NO WAY THAT LUCAS WOULD LEAVE HIS KIDS!!!!!

How freaking stupid do the writers and producers of this show think we are? What have they done to this show. They have destroyed it and Alice Horton's tribute drove home the point of how low this show has gone.

I am so hoping that the ratings tank in the next couple of weeks just to drive the point home and maybe the light bulbs will go on for TPTB because frankly there is a black out in their part of town.

I'm so pissed I could scream because they took my show of over 25 years away from me. They tossed me away as a fan.

OK I feel better now.
