Members JAS0N47 Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 A reporter guest starring on "Days" the week of September 26 included a script page of one of his scenes that was taped on Saturday, July 18. The scene mentions that EJ is running against Abe for mayor of Salem. Portions of the page are typed out below.

Members Ira Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 I saw this on YouTube the other day, but didn't watch it because I was like "who is this random extra"? But now that I have seen it... WTF?! EJ is running for Mayor? Hahahahahah. This is killing me. I'd love it if EJ became the new Harper Deveraux and actually became scary instead of the whiny sniveling brat he is now. Also, I hope to God that Sami and Rafe et al. are NOWHERE near this storyline. He needs to do something aside from that group. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted July 17, 2011 Administrator Share Posted July 17, 2011 Well, this dude is never getting hired again as an extra. LOL What a great idea to have EJ run for mayor! Sounds fun. Finally, EJ's not in a storyline that's all about his kids. Alright, no more storyline spoilers for me from now on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Antoyne Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Um, this actually sounds pretty interesting..And I love Lexie in complicated family situations..As I assume she'll have forgiven her brother and father by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JAS0N47 Posted July 17, 2011 Author Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 He's two steps up from an extra and a U/5...He's a credited, principal guest star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members JackPeyton Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 So, we are going to have to overlook everything has done as if it wouldnt be a scandal? Im sorry, but there is no way in hell that everything he has done wouldnt be. Not in the world we live in. Sami brady herself could not only cripple, but crush his run. I wonder if this is the big party, or have they said what it is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 This reminds me of when Grant Harrison ran for mayor on AW. It was presented as a wacky ha ha storyline and viewers weren't supposed to care about his past crimes. I can't see EJ having a wacky ha ha story so I wonder how this will come across.

Members JaneAusten Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 James Scott is a very tickish actor but I think he could do humor quite well. Days has been so dark and dreary for so long its kind of nice to see something different and its about time Abe and Lexie actually got a story.

Members Money Posted July 17, 2011 Members Share Posted July 17, 2011 Wow, I didn't even know that Abe was the mayor (for all the good it does him story wise ) I could care less about him but I'm thrilled Lexie will be caught in the middle of family drama. It's long overdue. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Eric83 Posted July 18, 2011 Members Share Posted July 18, 2011 So excited that Lexie is getting a story! September needs to hurry up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members edgeofnik Posted July 18, 2011 Members Share Posted July 18, 2011 There is no such thing as a "leak" - this is a RELEASE. That week is HUGE for DAYS since it is the first one without AMC and when DH returns. DAYS is pulling out all the stops. Nice job by the publicity department. I'm all for whatever gets the audience back. And this time, make Marlena the serial killer for real! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted July 18, 2011 Members Share Posted July 18, 2011 If Giuliani can be mayor, if Alex Olanov can be mayor, if Dorian can be mayor, EJ is a shoo-in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members jcar03 Posted July 20, 2011 Members Share Posted July 20, 2011 Too bad NBC wouldn't take this opportunity to put some AD dollars into the show and go after the AMC viewers. They could have ads that say something about "why watch another reality show when you can watch daytime drama" or something similar. Promote Deidre's and Drake's returns.
