Members Wendy Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 I don't give a crap about EJ or EJ/Sami. But the world of Days could survive without EJ. He's an unseen albatross at this point. Kill him (as dead as one can be on a soap. Hopefully Isabella dead, though...) and move the hell on. Just my $1.50 about the situation. Shrug. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Yes, EJ should just be killed off at this point so Sami can move on as the actor has been very clear he's moved on from DAYS and acting in general. Hell, if needed to be maybe they could convince him to come back for a short arc a la Peter Reckell to put an end to the character? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prefab1 Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 If the show wanted to go for an Aussie EJ, they should just cast Murray Bartlett instead. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Murray Bartlett?? Murray Bartlett's not tryna come back to daytime! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members prefab1 Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Probably not. But a steady paycheck is a steady paycheck. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Chris B Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Allegedly his exit had to do with sexual assault allegations and it’s been said James Scott cannot return. He has also said he wouldn’t consider it for any reason. For me it’s not that I feel EJ is vital, but they went through such lengths to bring him back and if Allison Sweeney is truly returning for at least a year then something needs to be done. It’s not fair to leave the character in limbo and eliminate any potential romance because EJ is hanging around. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members te. Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Had no idea. I guess he was pushed out of the business then. Either way just kill him off and move on then. It was always odd to have grown-up EJ as it messed with the timeline so much. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MichaelGL Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 RC really wrote himself into a corner when he brought EJ back from the dead as a bandaged figure. Now that JS is unlikely to ever return, what is he to do? Smh. The only option is to cast a new actor to play EJ after plastic surgery, and eventually have it revealed that this guy is not actually EJ (similar to Drew/Jason on GH) and write him off; thus permanently reuniting Lucas and Sami. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Say what?? This is news to me. That aside for a moment, I've said this before, but as much as RC often loves to reunite favored couples for fans offscreen this is one case it shouldn't be left at that. Sami is viable, James Scott is not coming back. They need to reunite Lumi IMO, and then perhaps consider recasting E.J. for the DiMeras much further down the road. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 TBH, EJ just isn't needed and they can forget about him. He screwed up the timeline so much in the first place, plus Chad and Jake fills any role that he could have in the DiMera family. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members janea4old Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 In addition to Daniel Goddard tweeting out the screencap of the ridiculous "article" with fake predictions, DG had posted it on his instagram and facebook accounts. He removed those posts when he deleted his tweet. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 I about died. I'm so glad this was garbage. Goddard's thirsty ass needs to sit down. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Khan Posted January 4, 2021 Members Share Posted January 4, 2021 Agree. Fans want a Lumi reunion, and no character needs to be tied down to another character who may or may not return. That's just...dumb. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
