I try not to pick which characters I think should stay on Days, but I do know who I like, and for me, there's nothing to think about. I'll go (anyday) with the one who has good looks, versatility, talent, the ability to convey emotions with expressions and body language as well as verbally, and is leading man material.

As in EJ/JS hands down.

He interacts well with every character on the show that he's shared scenes with and can hold his own with the likes of JM and TP. JS made EJ multi-layered even when Sheffer wrote him darker than dark, and he's a natural when it comes to being a charismatic romantic lead - plus he's excelled at everything in between.

The possible storylines for this character are only limited by the writers' imaginations because he can do it all.

Blindfold me and I'd pick EJ. Mute the tv and I'd pick EJ. Have EJ on the cover of a magazine and I'd buy it. Catch me switching channels and coming across Days while EJ is on and I'd be watching Days.

ICAM with everyone who would like to see Sami on her own and have her character developed and made more confident and independent. They had the perfect opportunity to do that after the (last) Austin non-wedding, but pushed lucas on her instead. It could have been a huge turning point for her and seeing her revert back to being needy and acquiescent never felt right.

And my answer of EJ wasn't who I'd like to see her with - even though if it was between the two it would be him. I took the question as which character is stronger on the show (as in one had to go -- which is why I didn't like the question).

I wouldn't have minded if they'd kept Belle single for that matter, but Days seems to think women have to be married to find self worth and that's not how it works...

You and I seem to be on the same wavelength. When I first read the question, it seemed to be a comparison between EJ/James and Lucas/Bryan...who should stay and who should go? I automatically wonder why either has to go...especially since there are only a handful of characters in that age range on the show. What I'm really finding interesting is how the question changed during the posts and became all about Sami...which one of these guys should be with her.

    • Nick told Victoria that he and Sharon had married in England.  Victoria was shocked.  Then she realized he was kidding.  He confirmed it was a joke and they're platonic. I don't even know what to say about that.
    • It's funny you say that because part of the entertainment of the trials on the show are all the day players who come on as witnesses and jurors.  I'm certain it was like the Law and Order of its time. It employed so many New York actors, that if you look close enough, there's usually someone vaguely recognizable in the courtroom.
    • I will defend Dante.  People already suspect he may be a bit unstable from time to time (from his time as a prisoner).  And, he's taking care of other people's kids from time to time.  So, he has reason to be cautious with those in his care.
    • Josh continues to try and milk Abbott/Newman rivalry. First it was Billy/Victoria, then Kyle/Summer, then Noah/Allie (that worked out well) and now Kyle/Claire. Do we have any inkling when Billy Flynn will arrive and who he will play? I'm sure Cole's illness will mostly play offscreen. What's in store for Nick and Sharon? Is it time to put them back together? I can't see any other romantic options. Nick has no children on the canvas to play off, as Christian is never seen. Sharon has only Mariah onscreen.
    • I would appreciate (if they're not coming), for future scripts to refer to them by their iconic hairdos.  For example, if Hope needs to call Chelsea because Bo has Sepsis, I'd like Shawn-D to say, "My Mom called Chelsea (the one with the sassy short black hair) for an update." Also, new rule, if Melanie does return, she needs to dye her hair back to red.  I googled who she was five times during Victor's funeral.

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.
