James Scott, interview with Michael Fairman, June 18, 2010

  • James Scott: Alison is just wonderful. I can’t think of a better way to spend your time than kissing Alison Sweeney. It’s just a perfect way to spend an afternoon. And if things do go south, then that will be the one thing I will miss most.

Goodbye Ejami

As a soap opera fan, I am well aware of the ups and downs a fan must endure before a favorite couple can be together.  I'm not one of those fans that throws a fit when it's not always sunshine and roses for my favorite pair.  But it's been a six year wait for me and I am officially heartbroken.

At the end of 2011, after months and months of no Ejami interaction, EJ Dimera and Sami Brady fell into eachothers arms after hearing their son had been killed and had what is now infamously known across the internet as "grief sex".  And while it wasn't pretty, it had Ejami fans screaming with glee. The Grief Sex incident was raw and gritty.  It was passionate and violent.  It was all Ejami fans had been missing for months.  EJ and Sami were finally saying all they needed to say.  They threw it all out there.  The shooting of EJ, the kidnapping of Sydney, the criminal activity, the lies, the betrayal. All of it right out on the table.  Yet, at the same time, there was compassion and comfort and quite honestly it was one of the best scenes I have ever watched on Days of Our Lives. It reminded fans why they love this couple.  EJ and Sami bring chemistry like no one else can.  It can't be denied.  Not for long.

For months afterward grief sex things were quiet on the EJami front.  Then Rafe found out about Ej and Sami.  It was the start of five happy months of Ejami.  There was a slow build from hatred and mistrust to forgiveness and trust then to friendship and romance.  I squealed like a teenage school girl with every grin and every near kiss.  Romance was back in the afternoon and I was loving it.  And then BAM! It was over.  Just like that.  Ejami was gone.  

The rehired writers didn't like what the new writers had done in their absence and set about erasing all that the new writers had done in the past year.  Hello again, Rafe.  Only, the writers don't seem to understand they can't erase the past year.  They can't erase the year that I watched Rafe cheat on Sami with her sister Carrie and then follow Carrie around like a little puppy hoping she'll pick him over Austin.  They can't erase the year I watched Rafe not give a flying shit about Sami and who she loved or who she was involved with.  They can't erase my memory.  They can't take it back.  We haven't forgotten.  And we won't forgive.  Rafe is a Carrie lover just like all the others and Sami Fans will not accept him as Sami's mate, not ever again.  But the writers don't seem to give a shit about that.

And now EJ is blackmailing Rafe to keep Rafe and Sami apart.  It's upsetting that these writers don't know EJ and Sami.  Maybe they need to watch a little Ejami history.  EJ has ALWAYS loved Sami.  And while Sami likes to deny it, Sami has ALWAYS loved EJ.  It's how it will always be.  So screw you, writers.  Your writing is predictable.  Sami will find out.  Sami will be mad at EJ.  Sami will fall into Rafe's arms.  Well, yippee for the 5 SAFE fans out there. But news flash, you lousy Days Writers.  You may have killed Ejami.  Maybe you even feel proud of yourselves.  But you won't be around forever.  Writers come and go on Days of Our Lives.  (Some go rather quickly. Don't get too comfy).  But EJami is forever.

Lisa Rinna in Car Accident

Lisa Rinna, who plays Billie Reed on Days of Our Lives, was in a car accident on Friday morning after dropping her daughter off at school.  Rinna tweeted about the accident saying "Angels watching over me! I was just in a car accident so lucky the guy turned right from the left lane and I was in the right lane Bam ... I'm OK! Very lucky. Car not so much."

She later tweeted, "Little shaken up that's for sure but I'm OK! Could have been really bad. I'm taking a deep breath and relaxing trying to stop shaking. Scary." 

"I'm good and a car can be fixed! Thank my angels for keeping me safe and no kids in the car! Lordie, who knew I'd be spending the day like this. As I always say - could be A lot worse!"

Glad to know Lisa's ok and to know that Lisa does regular mom stuff like take her kids to school.

Damn You, Rafe!


 Today's episode of Days of Our Lives had me cursing Rafe Hernandez, the biggest hypocrite in Salem. Rafe shows up at Sami's door, gawks at her in her lovely pink dress, then tells Sami what a fool she is for going on a date with EJ.  The pompous ass actually suggested to Sami that she be alone because hell, it wouldn't kill her to be independent!  When insulting Sami did nothing but cause her to slam the door in his face, Rafe invited himself in and declared he was concerned for Sami's children because they've been through a lot the past few months.  What a load of shit! 

Rafe doesn't care one whit about Sami's children.  What Rafe cares about, and what Rafe has always cared about, is keeping EJ away from his own children. Rafe likes the thrill of taking from EJ what belongs to EJ.  Rafe encouraged Sami to hide Grace from EJ.  Rafe encouraged Sami to keep Sydney and Johnny from EJ.  And the second Rafe found out Nicole was pregnant, he vowed to keep EJ away from that baby too.  Rafe isn't concerned for Sami's children.  He's concerned EJ might actually get to be a real father to them.

Are we supposed to believe that Rafe loves Sami? Is that supposedly why Rafe kissed Sami today? I call bullshit. Rafe doesn't love Sami.  He constantly puts her down.  He fell all over himself panting after Carrie when that disloyal bitch came to town. Rafe didn't care if Sami was with Lucas or EJ as long as he could hook up with Sami's sister and screw EJ over one more time by denying him his baby.  Rafe's a shit and I'm fed up with having SAFE shoved down my throat. Declaring his love for Carrie was the ultimate betrayal and it's one I'll never forgive Rafe for.

Get off my screen, Rafe. And get out of Sami's life.  She doesn't need your judgments or Carrie's leftovers. EJ Dimera, I know you are being shitted on once again by the lovely writers Gary Tomlin and Chris Whitesell (who should be receiving tons of hate mail from Ejami fans!) but do hang in there. You are the only one worthy of Samantha Brady. We EJami fans will stick by you and forgive all the bullshit you will be forced to do and/or say under writers who clearly hate you and support SAFE / Galen Gering for their own personal agendas while disregarding Ejami fans who outnumber SAFE supporters 5 to 1. 

Here's to Gary Tomlin and Chris Whitesell pulling their heads out of their asses, or to the two getting fired! Either works.  Ejami Forever!  :)

It's a Date!

It's all smiles for Sami Brady and EJ Dimera on today's episode of Days of Our Lives.  It was all smiles for me as well.  Nothing says happiness and squealing school girl glee like a day of Ejami scenes.

EJ and Sami ran into each other in the hallway of their apartment building after having parted ways earlier in the day for EJ to meet with the Governor and resign as Mayor.  Sami asked EJ if he'd like to come in and EJ practically darted in with a "Darling, I thought you'd never ask," which was absolutely the cutest thing. EJ and Sami flirted for a bit and Sami got around to asking EJ to dinner to which he happily accepted. 

The best part about EJami scenes is EJ.  EJ lights up when he's with Sami.  He was smiling and goofing and he seemed giddy. When Sami asked where in the world was the real EJ Dimera, Ej told her that he felt lighthearted and liberated.  EJ asked if he could plan the date himself for tomorrow night.  He told Sami that he wanted it to be perfect to which she teased him and said it shouldn't take 24 hours to make a phone call.  Ej told her in the interest of full disclosure there was another reason he wanted to move the date to tomorrow.  It gave him more time to look forward to it.  Awwww. 

We know from the spoilers that the EJami date isn't going to happen because of Rafe.  Stupid Rafe. I don't know what the Gary Tomlin, the Head Writer for Days, plans to do with Ejami and in my opinion it isn't looking so good.  But I will enjoy every moment James Scott and Alison Sweeney are on screen together.  Their chemistry is unmatched and I haven't felt this excited for EJami in a long time!

No Shooting Eachother and No Cloning Anything? Dull, Dull, Dull!

Today on DOOL, EJ asks Sami out on a date to the Green Mountain Lodge for lunch.  Sami agrees to go and EJ leans in for a kiss.  Sami stops EJ to give him some conditions if they are really going to do this.  "No shooting each other, no cloning anything, no kidnapping or lying,"  to which EJ replies "Dull, Dull, Dull.  Look at you.  You are a picture of domesticate."  When Sami sticks her hand out to shake on it, EJ readily shakes and then gets the kiss he was waiting for.

And here I sit squealing with delight!  Unfortunately, I have to get my EJami scenes in between stomach churning SAFE scenes.  The scene prior to EJami's pact had Rafe and Sami getting close.  Sami asked Rafe how he felt about her and Sami was a bit too close to Rafe's face if you want to know my opinion.  Before Rafe could answer, EJ knocked on the door and declared to Samantha that he had a surprise for her.  Nosey Rafe wanted to know what it was and EJ delightfully changed the subject to Nicole's baby which served as a reminder to Sami that Rafe was having a baby with Nicole.  Gosh, you gotta love how slick EJ is.  Upon mention of Nicole, Sami quickly dismissed Rafe out of her apartment to which Rafe replied "Oh. Right. Guess I misread the situation here."  Sami continued to usher Rafe to the door and as he turned to leave Rafe looked at Sami and said "Really?" and Sami just shut the door without a word.  Oh my. Sami's at her finest when she's being bitchy. Alison Sweeney has my heart.  <3

Now what I didn't like today was Miss Hope Brady and that meddling little look she gave after she heard EJ tell one of the governor's aides that he was resigning in order to more time with his family.  We've already seen Hope encourage Rafe to hand deliver Sami's hankie that he'd found in the Square. Let's hope Hope minds her own business and leaves Sami and EJ alone.
