Personally I don't want a re-cast even somewhere down the road. A recast would just infuriate fans of the original actor (think of how we would feel about a Lucas re-cast) and they'd become more vocal. Besides so long as Stefano is around there's really no need for an extended Dimera family. He's bad enough for all of them and (as much as I used to like Tony) they all pretty much pale in comparison to the family patriarch. It's more true to show history to kill off Stefano's off-spring to infuriate his character and make him do more bad.

Chad can be the new Dimera....cheaper too....I don't want a recast...like Merc said, it would just upset 'them' in the long run and frankly recasts rarely work and people would want the original and as much as I hate James I don't want EJ recast...I just want him GONE! I use to want something else for EJ, maybe have a love interest of his own, that loved HIM, but my dislike for James (after the last few interviews) has really just made me dislike him and his character even more....

Chad would be cheaper. JS is simply pandering to his fans and ignoring everyone else in the process while he takes cheap shots at other characters and their fanbases which makes for bad blood all around. They had pure gold with EJole and chose to throw it all out when it was really looking good, and besides it's already been shown that the other fanbase is equally opposed to him being paired with anyone else. He could rape Sami again and they would still call it true love.

At this point EJ isn't going to work in any pairing and they have made him too much of a cowardly bully to ever be taken seriously as an arch villain like Stefano. He has nothing left to offer Days and James has made himself such a liability that the best thing Days could do is kill EJ off (and keep him that way).

Yup. Days has not taken it well in the past when actors refused to toe the party line in interviews, which is exactly what James did when he publicly disagreed with Corday about "what fans want" in such a snide way.

After all, James has been fired for not being able to get along with co-workers in the past. Just ask Thorsten Kaye.

And Days DOES like to kill someone off for November sweeps... as all soaps do. Though I just checked and "Ethan Cambias" of AMC bit the dust in February sweeps rather than November. ;)
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

I bet that was a glorious February day for AMC fans! Perhaps Days fans will finally have something to celebrate soon as well.

I just had a thought about who kills EJ. What if it's Kate? She's being a lot nicer to Sami, she's not happy with Stefano, Bill's back. What if she thinks of her own lost love with Bill and decides she was wrong about Sami and Lucas being together? It would certainly be a twist. And that would bring Lucas home

Just askin'...
actually I can see Kate doing it...that is so right...wow good catch Dee Dee....especially if she sees Stefano taking control of Will (her favorite grandson)....and guess who that might bring back ....not only Lucas but maybe even Bill....
:kate: She would be perfect but somehow I see Maddy doing and framing Kate to keep her secret. Plus that may be too soon after :stir: the poisoned apple bit :stir:
I saw the look on Kate's face when she was talking about how she envied Alice. She wants Bill and the good life. So she may come over to the good side for a bit.

Yeah but Kate hasn't done anything completely good since before she returned from the dead. It's still kind of a stretch for her character to just up and do something for the good side. Although if anything could drive her to it it would be Will. After all she was always willing to do anything for Lucas and Will is Lucas' son.

I'm not saying he's dead by July.....I'm saying Nicole and Baker discuss killing EJ the week of July 5th.....even if it doesn't go anywhere now, that is putting something in motion to have Baker and Nicole as suspects of something down the road...just like the rest of the stuff I've mentioned in my list builds up people as possible suspects....obviously Baker can be the one dead too....I'm just saying the quickest most effective method to pick ratings up is to have a who done it storyline, and if it involves the death of a main character then it's likely gold....no one would know about it and it wouldn't get spoiled until after it's filmed likely so to me it's very plausible....I think he'll be dead by September or so...which puts filming those scenes around Mid to late July...
Sorry, understood now

As long as the victim is EJ I am fine with all of those!!
I have to say, after the niceties between Sami and Kate, I am harboring some hope that Kate will get her head out of her a** and realize that Lucas and Sami belong together and bring her son back to win his family back.
Hopefully some NBC spies are lurking on this board and realize that EJ belongs with Nicole and Sami with Lucas and they will either bring back the deliciously deluded and evil EJ or get rid of him.

OT here: Ali responded to a tweet i sent her this morning, i feel so honored to get a tweet from Ali. I just join Twitter and didn't know Ali responded to fans on twitter.
I'm shocked by that. Anyone who's watched Ali's tweets for more than day typically knows that she replies to fans on an almost daily basis. The real badge of honor with Ali's tweets is to get an annoyed one from her ;) I've received a few, as have a few others here, and there's also a chick who stalks her rather pathetically, (iirc, her name is Ashlee or something) who gets snapped at all the time, lol. I can't fault Ali for snapping at her stalker, I would too. And when she snaps at me, it just shows me she's a real person, which I like. :)

Back on topic, regarding the "murder", I can easily see Days killing off Elvis in November. If they decide to bring him back from the dead in the future it wouldn't surprise me in the least if they recast the role. It would be the one way to eliminate that crazy rapemi fanbase for once and for all. The ones who were fans of the character would stick around, those who were just JS obsessed would be gone :) Plus, now that James has been on the show for a few years, they have to pay him a bit more. They'll be looking to dump his salary and replace it with a newbie's one, or better yet, put the saved money towards a returning popular vet.
I've never used twitter before, i started like two weeks now and so i was surprised that Ali even replied to my tweet.

Since i've been on twitter, i probably sign in once a day to check it.

:roll: Ali has a stalker? no way

If there were anything else worth watching on Days right now, I would be very interested in Kate's storyline but it isn't enough by itself to suffer through everything else (and certainly not enough to excuse rapemance). The way that Kate included all 4 children by name when she told Sami they were all special children was intriguing. There was a time when a scene like that would have definitely been significant to some future plot development and lots of fun to speculate on, but I have come to distrust anything the current PTB do... they never bother to finish any good storyline they start anyway so why bother.

The way they are doing things now it's not worth it to speculate on anything. I'm sure that TIIC are hoping we'll speculate so that they can come up with story ideas anyhow. But it's been a long time since they were able to pull anything worth speculating over out. But the way it's currently going I could see it going over this way, we speculate that Kate knows all four of the kids are Lucas', eventually feeds this information to Sami who calls Lucas in Hong Kong and tells him about the two children he thought belonged to the rapist that are actually his, hangs up after telling him they'll work out visitation and then jumps into bed with Rafe. It would be rushed and mostly happen off screen so that we couldn't enjoy it and we'd still end up enduring Safe.

No the EJole ship sailed. I don't want the NBC spies thinking that we want EJ in any way shape or form. I just want him gone. There are always other possibilities for Nicole but the rapist has run his time and it's high time he was booted out of Salem for good. But NBC spies if you are listening, I DO WANT LUCAS BACK. Kill the rapist, find someone else for Rafe and bring LUCAS back to Sami where he belongs.

I still want Sydney to be Nicole's but that is exactly how Kate's inclusion of all 4 children by name struck me - that she had recently learned of her own connection to Johnny & Sydney. Of course, it could also be that she learned of Sydney's true maternity and felt sad for Sami because of it. Or the more likely option, Kate learned that EJ was the one to kidnap Sydney and felt sorry for Sami because even Kate realizes how far Sami has fallen from the smart, savvy teen who could battle with the likes of Kate and Victor to the gullible wimp who repeatedly falls for EJ's lies hook, line and sinker.

or.....they ARE building up the Kate 'regrets' angle now...notice her talk with Bill at Alice's graveside today....he noted her saying she had regrets and if she wanted to talk and she said no, and walked away....I don't think we'll see the last of Bill.....I do think that Bill will be back and pry at Kate and her 'regrets' and of course one of them would be marrying Stefano to save herself from prison, another would be hurting her sons, but the last and most important part was letting her true love get away and depriving Lucas of a father & family for so long. THAT might be worth speculating about because if the writers can pull that off and have her realize that true love is worth fighting for maybe she will tell Lucas to come back and fight for Sami as she's about to marry someone that Kate thinks will never make her as happy as Lucas did...and I'm talking about Rafe..by then I'm hoping her rapist is 6' under.

Actually it's not a question of good Kate or bad Kate. Either way she's been played, she's all about her kids happiness (as she sees it anyway). If she is sympathetic to Sami, it's because of Lucas. If Sami makes Lucas happy, then EJ must go.

Besides you know Kate would come up with some really kick-ass way to kill him off.

I know this is NOT where Tomlin & the gang are headed with this story but when Kate gave her soliloquy today and said that she now knows everything, I couldn't help but think how great it would be if Kate really did find out everything. It would make for a much more interesting story if instead of just discovering a secret about Chad, Kate learned that Madeline had been helping EJ to cover his tracks for sometime now in order to keep the secret about Chad. What if EJ found out somehow and used the secret to blackmail Madeline into helping get the paperwork when he planned to take Sydney and Johnny out of the country. What if it went back even further and Madeline played a role in helping him to change Johnny's DNA test too and/or what if Madeline investigated EJ's past to get her own leverage on him and uncovered even more of his dirty deeds (i.e., the freezer truck). Not only would that be reason for Kate to mellow against Sami but it would play into her regrets by recognizing that if she hadn't interefered with Lumi they would have been happily married with all of their children when EJ came to town and he would not have had the same opportunities to wreck their lives. It would also give Kate ample motivation to kill EJ. If Tomlin et al were capable of writing more than one storyline at a time and developing any of them, there could be tremendous potential for a mystery over EJ's murder that could have nearly everyone Salem as a possible suspect. Oh well, at least there is General Hospital to watch.

ugh, just had a tweet from this source william person, saying no on the murder mystery. anyone know anything about this person? I think he/she works for soap opera source possibly? That one also claims there are far more Egrossmeout numbers then we think. I don't believe that for a new york minute, unless you count stuffed animals and loads of laundry as viewers!

Soap Opera Source is a fan made site with little contacts to the Soap World. Just like Daytime Royalty, Soap Opera Network and Soap News & Scoops.

Heck...I admit I have birdies here and there....One of my friends was the first to share possible buzz that Galen was joining Days - LONG before DR, SON, SNS found out.

I need to contact my birdies to see if I can find anything out for us - wish me luck

See with this just written right here, you should be hired as a Days writer or consultant to the writers. I would totally watch this.

It would be awesome to see all of EJ's crimes unravel right before his eyes and him dead, too.
