Members JAS0N47 Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 FIRST 5-DAY "SAMI-LESS" WEEK SINCE JULY 2011...ALSO SAMI'S LONGEST ABSENCE SINCE MISSING 6 EPISODES IN MARCH 2012 Alison Sweeney (Sami) was absent for the entire week (September 23-27, 2013) this week on "Days." Since August 2011, this is just the second time that Sweeney has missed 5 or more episodes in a row. She was absent for 6 episodes in a row from March 8-15, 2012. This is also the first 5-day "Sami-less" week since the week of July 25-29, 2011, during a stint when Sweeney was absent for 11 episodes in a row (July 21-August 4, 2011). Sweeney did put in a appearance behind the cameras this week though, as the director of the September 27 episode.http://www.jason47.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRfan23 Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 hasn't there been months where Sami hasn't been on everyday years before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Ira Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 Not for extended periods, though. Most characters are rotated, yes, but the major players are always in at least 2-3 episodes a week. I'm interested to watch Friday's episode knowing she directed it!

Members jo.frank88 Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 I always appreciate giving a character a rest... all characters need rests from time to time, especially when they are on-screen as often as Sami is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SouthOfSoap Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 Does she ever star in epsiodes that she directs? Did Susan Flannery do that at B&B back in the day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members AllMyDaysatGH Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 This isn't right! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sheilaforever Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 I don't think so. Stephanie was never a 24/7 character like Sami Brady though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members JAS0N47 Posted September 28, 2013 Author Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 No, Ali has said it's too much work to do. She's never appeared in an episode that she's directed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jo.frank88 Posted September 28, 2013 Members Share Posted September 28, 2013 I definitely don't know the mechanism of directing but it would seem to me that it would be extremely hard (maybe impossible?) to direct an episode that you're also acting in..?? Just my guesses.. I'm sure those with experience in front of/behind the camera know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
