Then he'd be out of a job.

ETA: Re: The AMC rumor... I read a while back (when he was still on the show) that a certain actor was acting wayyy too important. He didn't realize he wasn't as crucial as he thought he was.

Then... the axe fell. Just sayin'.

James Scott was great on AMC as Ethan. And I suddenly figured out who he was referring to by those who responded here on this thread. If there was ever a doubt, some of you just sealed it for me. Thanks, what a waste of talent, AMC lost big time!

And I loved him as Ethan because he was talented, handsome and sexy especially in his steamy scenes! But it was once someone else "an other" came onto the scene that they started writing him different and that's when they tanked Ethan for quite some time to give the spotlight to another actor. Ethan WAS a popular character right up to the end. And when they paired him with Simone those two were on fire! It's a shame they killed that relationship so quickly but I'm sure they were too popular and those same "others" didn't like that. Simone and Ethan were hotter than any other couple in the last 2-3 years. Either way, he's better off with DOOL because he's able to show the critics that he IS leading man material and is as talented as he is sexy!! GO JAMES!!!! :D

I don't watch AMC, but it's obvious that James didn't gain his talent overnight. He's an amazing, magnetic actor, and he's sex on a stick. Their loss is our gain. It amazes me that they didn't see what a find they had, but I'm glad. Some roles are just made for some people, and EJ was made for James. I can't wait to see him interact with heavy hitters like Thaao and Joe. That's going to be fantastic!

LOL you mean this blind item ;) :

Tuesday, April 26, 2005:

BLIND ITEM EXTRA: What east coast actor has gotten a little too big for his own ego and is driving some people including his frequent co-stars a bit nuts with his "new" attitude? The recent turn around in his story line was a tactic intended to embarrass or frustrate this newbie. Seems this dark side ploy was a slight slap to him and to calm down some of the undying fan support of the newbie.

It came out right around the time his storyline was changing and he was moving to backburner

James has never come out and flipped out on his co-stars. I respect him for doing so. It's painfully obvious that politics are played at AMC. Look who always gets their share of the new girls, who always gets the most "pimping" for 'oh man, you're gonna love this couple."

I respect James for not letting his experience at AMC ruin his love for soaps. AMC's loss was DAYS' gain.

AMC plays faves like no soap next to maybe GH. However Mr.Scott had a whole character made just for him and was put in a frontburner story and paired with one the shows top characters. TPTB pushed Ethan and Kendalll for all it was worth. The viewers had different plans and forced them to hook Kendall and Zach. No matter how much MCT/Frons/JHC take credit for Zendall they weren't they're idea. They wanted Ethan&Kendall and Zach/Maria and then Zach/Dixie. Once Ethan got paired with Simone he was toast.

Yeah, James Scott became the "golden boy" at AMC way too fast.

Remember: He auditioned for the temporary recast of Aidan. They loved him so much they created the role of Ethan for him.

Remember how Ethan was shoved down our throats? He was constantly frontburner, paired with Kendall, etc. Then they started giving Ethan a bit of a "dark side" and poof, he was sent to the backburner overnight.

I heard numerous stories that Mr. Scott's obnoxious behavior on the AMC set contributed to his fall from the show's new star to fired star.

So someone WAS jealous and wanted him gone because he was too popular. Poor James!

BTW, blind items normally originate with Bruno and he has gone on the record as saying that, "James Scott is a really good guy that never got his due at AMC."

      Great scenes between Marlena and EJ today. Paula and Jeanne are making EJ have more depth than Ron had during his long drawn out tenure.

      Thanks again @Paul Raven  The Arlene/Ben/Betsy triangle is one I wish I could see for myself as on paper it doesn't tend to excite me but I can see how well-constructed it was. I wish I could see the Rick/Meg relationship too, although I wish they'd had him genuinely fall for Meg after he gets together with Cal. The whole Brooke/Deacon/Bridget story on B&B was horribly damaging to Brooke as a character but it was dramatically very sound because I could completely believe Deacon would fall for messy and vulnerable Brooke after finally settling down with the more docile Bridget.

      According to the head writer list, it seems the show may have started to fall apart while either the Schneiders or Upton were writing.  And when it started to crumble, it crumbled fast.  It was sad to see everything Labine had brought to LOL be disassembled.

      Welcome back!!! And I see Abe and Paulina got a new apartment too, which is just a redress of John/Marlena’s, Steve/Kayla’s, etc. But it looks kinda nice. And I enjoyed his scenes with Chanel. It added another perspective to everything that’s been going on with her and Johnny. And Abe using his own history with Lexie to comfort Chanel was a good idea. Plus, it also provided us with more suspicion/red herring about Johnny possibly shooting EJ. I’m looking forward to see what happens between her and Johnny. And I’m so glad that the two of them are on the frontburner now.  Speaking of Johnny, I still have no problem with him going to work for Titan. The drama could be so good, especially once EJ finds out. To me, it seems like another realistic reaction to everything that’s been happening to Johnny lately. It doesn’t seem random and over the top either. And I like that they remembered to have Johnny tell Xander that he has no corporate experience whatsoever. Surprisingly, the two of them work well together. And so do Carson and Deidre. I love how the Marlena/Johnny relationship has been featured so much.  Kayla was still strong and kicking ass today too. The writer change has helped her/Mary Beth so much. But I do admit we should’ve seen Steve trying to get into Dr. Russell’s lab rather than Kayla instructing him over the phone.  And unfortunately, Chad and Cat still don’t seem to be doing much for me though. The cliffhanger was ok too.   Btw, Days was trending at #4 this morning on Peacock

      There was a huge outcry when we learned that JFP intended to off Donna.

      It’s a worse idea than her wanting to become a doctor Well, some of us Italians do prefer trumpets and saxophones over strings
