I don’t think EJ will have anything to do with Sami for at least a while especially when the truth comes out, but that may be a good thing. He is boring as hell with her, for me totally unwatchable. Put him with Ari, Nicole, Brady, Rafe or Stuntman #3 and I’m totally interested, but with her he just becomes this liar that a lot of the EJAMI fans throw under the bus and act like he’s a puppet and all the bad he does is totally controlled by his father. I want to see a real man come out and that seems not to happen with Sami.

Corday….Keep him out of her orbit & keep him watchable.

RAFE all the way baby!

It’s SAFE all the way–the boss has spoken! I am very happy!

THIS viewer, who did NOT start watching Days until AFTER Safe were already a couple, WANTS Sami with EJ. How can EJ not still have a chance if during the peak of Safe, a new viewer such as myself preferred the forbidden EJami? So yep, EJ will always have a fighting chance IMO. EJ TRULY loves Sami, and I think Sami loves EJ but is afraid to because he’s not the “good” guy in white that we’re all supposed to desperately want or whatever. Yeah, Rafe’s the good guy, the one her family loves, the hero, the knight in white whatever, but he’s not right for Sami.

Well Michael right now it is not Safe! It is most definitely Ejami! Did you not see the Smoking Hot Kiss Sami gave Ej. Sami was not thinking of Rafe when she practically attacked Ej! That’s what I’m talking about! “THIS FAN WANTS EJAMI”

I am a long time viewer and a big fan of EJAMI from day one. How can anyone not see the amazing chemistry between the two characters/actors? EJ and Sami (EJAMI) are pure magic when they are together in a scene. They are really the best thing on that show!!!!

This Viewer wants EJAMI

We’ll see what happens. Corday is obviously grossly misinformed or ignorant to believe that the majority would prefer Safe to EJami. Sami is going to be falling for EJ in the next few months and when she’s back with Rafe, she’ll be pining over EJ.

It’s Ejami or bust for me. I think Corday has it all wrong, the fans want EJAMI! I personally don’t know anyone who isn’t an EJami fan. EJami screams passion, hot chemistry and excitement anything else is just plain boring and not worth my time or even mention.

Mr. Corday clearly does not have a good feel for what the viewers want if he thinks it is Safe. He might want to have a closer look at various boards to see that the vast majority of viewers want Ejami.

EJami is what got me hooked on Days, and they certainly weren’t even friendly when I first saw them in a scene together. James and Ali bring so much chemistry to each scene. There’s no contest. This is a soap – we want drama, layered flawed characters, and chemistry, and that’s what you get with EJami! Safe is just that – safe, i.e. boring, bland, predictable.

EJAMI for sure.

I Still love ejami couple never is over when the show is still on and character are on !!!
James and Alison are talent powerful they make ejami work!

EJami all the way! Safe is so boring! I want an EJami! Please!

I will always support EJami. They are the couple I want to see.

The Sami that’s with Rafe is a pale and boring imitation of the real thing. This viewer wants EJami.

Thank you for saving it, GT! EJAMI was sinking the show. They’re lame at this point, and the show had to dumb Sami down too much for this to work. I hope you’re reshuffling in the right directions, and getting Sami back to being smart. She can continue to be impulsive and a little nuts, lol, but please no more stupid to trust anything EJ says or does. That just didn’t make any sense.

The writing for Ejami is too repulsive to recover from. While the actors have some chemistry, this viewer can’t get over the sick, sadistic events that have transpired between them on screen to ever accept them as a romantic pair. They turn my stomach. I just can’t watch.

Safe is no winner either. The actor chemistry falls flat (at least Ejami is sometimes enjoyable as enemies) and the actor who plays Rafe has no charisma in this role. Despite the writers’ wishful thinking for him to be the new John Black., the Rafe character is a dud. Ken Corday is seriously out of touch with the fans.

Bring back Lucas or Brandon for Sami, because neither Safe nor Ejami works. Sami’s character has been swirling the drain ever since getting involved with EJ and Rafe.

Ugh that interview made me so mad with ken c. NOOOOOOO safe! Ej and sami belong together and they are the only reason I have stayed with days! Their chemistry is amazing and what about the last 4 years of ejami and all the teasing they did and how ej won over lucas, all of that to go with a guy who hasnt even been on the show that long.. and they do not have chemistry like ej and sami do, this just infuriates me and I want to start a petition to send kens way and show him what the fans really want and that ej and sami are meant to be!!!

I have to believe that Ken Corday has LOST his mind! Or else he just wants Days off the air?
Safe is a..a…a mockery of soap romance. It’s a sham and a SHAME to dare say that Sami Brady was or would ever be a stronger person for being with the uncouth, controlling coward that is Rafe Hernandez!
Whereas EJ and Sami —They set one another ablaze! The Ejami relationship is a genius strike of writing (though you’d never know it for long and long now) where the Dimera/Brady clans are distilled into the esence of uncontainable love, rampaging in its passion and frightful in the breath-stealing moments of furor.
Who are these “viewers” who supposedly root for Safe? I’ve yet to come across one in real life, though I have witnessed several non-practicing soap viewers (hey, you come to see me between 1 and 2 and sorry, you’ra have to deal) admit that EJ and Sami seem to have something that captures attention…and Safe gets laughed at.
You tell me…mayhaps after 26 years (‘most my whole life!) I don’t know anything about soaps afterall! Maybe Passions was really good, so great, in fact, that Days should be sacrificed for its junior reanactment? Just let me know and I’ll call it quits with the whole genre. Ejami or I really just don’t care anymore.

I want a watchable couple that will maintain my interest,I want to see Ejami…

Ejami this viewer love Ejami as a couple

That´s a bunch of hoo haa. The dude doesn´t even watch his own show. Viewers want EJAMI.

Rafe is the driest, most boring character on DAYS. The only way the writers could put Rafe with Sami is to take what made Sami special out of her and turn her into someone she isn’t, Carrie. Rafe couldn’t handle Sami not telling him about the Sydnappers, how could he handle Sami in 100% Samantha Gene Brady in all her glory? EJ doesn’t want her to change he loves her because of her darkness, not in spite of it. Rafe doesn’t have a clue who the REAL Sami Brady is. She hasn’t “matured” she’s changed into sister and if Corday wants Austin and Carrie part deux, then just bring back Austin and Carrie.

EJ understands Sami like no one else does. He knows her bad side, he’s seen it first hand. Sami knows who Ej is, understands him and why he does what he does. She knows he struggles with his DiMera side and doesn’t always win in his struggle against it. It’s why they’re such a compelling couple. They’re not a remake of every other couple on soaps. They’re not average. They’re not mundane. They’re fascinating because you never know what they could be up to.

Rafe and Sami? I think the writers are trying to make them the next Marlena and Roman, Carrie and Austin, Belle and Shawn. Really? Samantha Gene Brady? She is no “next” anyone and together with EJ, they’re not “new” remake of a couple who have already been in Salem.

They break the mold of all the couples we’ve already seen on daytime. And daytime needs something new and original to shake it up.

EJAMI will always have a chance; Lucas knew that no matter what Sami couldn’t get EJ out of her heart and even if there is a SAFE reunion come labour day, Rafe too will soon enough learn that EJ holds a big chunk of Sami’s heart…EJAMI will prevail! GO EJAMI GO!!!!!!

Rafe will not be able to live with the “real” Sami. He has walked away how many times from her. EJ loves her for who she is and what she does unconditionally. Why not give this couple a real chance together?

Ken Corday made me one happy fan with this interview. It will be wonderful to turn on the show and not have to FF or just turn off the Ejami scenes. I hate them together. Rafe is a great guy, I can support him with Sami. Bring back Lucas and Rafe/Lucas/Sami can battle it out! NOW THAT’S A SHOW!!!

This viewer wants Ejami !

i think it is ridiculous to put Safe together..Ejami belong together and are much
more exciting and passionnate .Safe is watching paint dry .
i think what Ken corday said was a slap in the face for all Ejami fans .
Ejami fans have been waiting 4 years for a real shot but they never actually got it.

i dont think i will be watching after labor day .

I think that what doesn’t kill Ejami will only make them stronger. We all knew that once the Sydnapping secret broke that there was a chance that Sami would run back to that other guy, however, I honestly believe that by the time that happens Sami will be deeply, madly in love with EJ. So if the other guy takes her back it will be a Sami that can’t get EJ off the brain or out of her heart!!

Ejami will be together, it’s just going to take some crap for episodes until we finally get to see it!!

Samanthat belongs with the Father of her children and her soulmate EJ Dimera.If they insist on forceing :safe: onto people..my fave character,just needs to pack up and leave,she completely disappears with this boring character.I WANT EJAMI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I think the handwriting has been on the wall for SAFE for quite some time now. Both Corday and Sweeney have acknowledged that Sami’s character has changed to a good girl and they both like and want that. Sami needs and deserves to be paired with a good guy, Rafe, who will love her and her kids without reservation and manipulations and lies.

From the first time Rafe and Sami were together in WP, it was obvious to me that they were meant to be together. The writers tried, it, the fans loved it and it has been a super love story ever since.
SAFE ALL THE WAY BABY!!!!!

Ej and Sami as toxic, disgusting, vile and frankly they are boring with the same story that played out two years ago repeating itself virtually every step of the way. I think it would help DOOL immensily if they FINALLY made the decision to end Ejami once and for all. She and the man that has victimized her and her family for 4 years now should really have no connection whatsoever. Make Sydney Nicole and Ej’s baby, and bring back Bryan Dattilo to reprise his role as Lucas for the revelation that Stefano and Kate held the truth from both Sami and Lucas that Johnny is really his son. End the nightmare that is Ejami, it has been sucking the life out of this show slowly.

I’m not a fan of either pair, since she really belongs with her true love Lucas. But since Lucas is not an option at the moment, I have to go with Rafe. Rafe hasn’t held her at gunpoint and raped her. Rafe hasn’t kidnapped her child and told her that her child is dead. Rafe hasn’t tried to kill her (now) ex-husband. Rafe hasn’t shot her stepfather in the head and stolen his kidney. Rafe hasn’t tried to rip her unborn twins from her womb in order to harvest their organs. Rafe hasn’t gassed her aunt and uncle. In fact, Rafe’s only crime is being not quite as interesting as Lucas, but we can deal with that later.
Rafe isn’t a dangeous sociopath, so he wins this battle.

I’ve stopped watching the show because of Sami and her rapist. If Days stops the horror that is the rapemance, I might come back. EJ belongs nowhere near his victim. It’s been vile and disgusting to even think about.

This is one Ejami that thinks that the chemistry that EJ and Sammi have cannot be replaced or duplicated.They are the reason I watch Days.

I am not sure what fans KC is talking about but all the Days fans I know are waiting for EJAMI!!!!! I think his opinions are just that , his opinions and I will hang on. If they go the boring and safe route that will be one more hour of my day that I will find something else to watch. I also will pray that James finds somewhere else to shine because his talent is underappreciated.

No contest, Safe all the way. Ali and Galen have amazing chemistry.

I want SAFE! They are the best thing that happened to DOOL since the days of Jack & Jen. Thanks, Mr. Corday and your writers! I applaud you for choosing a storyline that is base on true love, honesty and devotion! It will be a long boring summer, but I and my co SAFE fans are looking at the light at the end of the tunnel.
Woohoo! Give us some SAFE loving, pls!
SAFE all the way!

I think EJ will prevail. EJ and Sami is clearly the more interesting and more complex storyline. The love story is one of star-crossed lovers who have overcome much to end up together. What has the other one to offer? A couple that was manufactured to facilitate a real life pregnancy? Pffftt!

EJ will have his heart’s desire-Samantha.

I’m with Lisa. I didn’t really taking a liking to Days until Safe arrived. Safe is the best choice and they need to move on from old storylines like Ejami. I also like Ejanna. They are hot and sexy!

If Days has any smarts, they’ll never again even hint at a pairing of Sami with her rapist. It brings the ratings down every time they try it, and it seems they’ve finally realized it. Most viewers find rapemance disgusting. We don’t want to see crimes against women rewarded.

Personally, I don’t really care for Rafe and Sami together, either. He’s a bore, and she’s a shadow of her old self. I want the old, strong Sami back, who didn’t sit around waiting for others to fix her problems for her. I really truly hope Corday is telling the truth about her once more taking things into her own hands. I’d like to see her single for a while, getting a career, spending time with her kids. If there has to be a man in her life, the only one that worked for me was Lucas.

Safe

The interview made no sense with what I’m seeing on screen. While EJ hasn’t told Sami the truth – he isn’t manipulating her. And he isn’t pushing her. EJ didn’t just take Sydney for the heck of it – people put things in motion – ie Nicole, Sami, Stefano and Rafe (who tried to adopt EJ’s daughter) that sent EJ over the edge. Luckily he brought himself back and did the right thing all on his own. I like Galen, and I’m ok with Rafe – but James Scott and EJ are just off the charts good and the story with Sami is just pure soap gold. If Ken said it – I don’t think he believes it. It was a tactic to keep the Safe fans (there are some but not as many as Ejami) watching. If Sami goes back to Rafe it will be temporary at best. Her heart is with EJ and always has been. They are stretching that story out as long as they can. Ejami is where the buzz is at.

What most disappointed me about this interview is that KC felt the need to reveal the plot. What a dumb crazy move. The other thing about this inteveiw that has me upset is that he assumed that all viewers want Rafe and Sami together. Whether or not if I am a EJ/Sami fan or a Rafe/Sami fan, he should not have spoken for all viewers. I don’t need anyone telling me what I want to see on my televison, so he should have not presumed anything. I can see how Rafe may appeal as a better choice for Sami. However, I can see how EJ/Sami appeal to some. The thing is, they have changed the Sami character so much, she has been watered down beyond belief, so yes watered down Sami does fit with Rafe. Sami and Rafe can be the nice boring “safe” couple. But, yes there is a but, some people perfer the hellraiser Sami and that Sami fits perfectly with EJ. I think that some of the old Sami needs to resurface and if old Sami resurface, Rafe could not handle it. What I have seen is EJ is willing to have all of Sami, he doesn’t care if she is an angel or a demon, he just loves her unconditionally, but could Rafe do that. I don’t think so. In closing, I think I perfer EJ and Sami as a couple.

Safe all the way!!!!!!!!!! They are the major reason why i am watching days right not.
They have a relationship that is not based on lies and manipulations like EJ and Sami,
they have romance ,freindship, compassion ect….. they are fun to watch together.

Any possibility of a true pairing of Sami with EJ died in Dec. 2006. Days just wasn’t smart enough to bury that carcas right away and it has been a useless burden to the show ever since. Any attempt to pair the two always sinks the ratings and it ruins every character and storyline involved. I could care less about Safe, Sami should just be alone if Days isn’t going to bring Lucas back, but no matter what else happens Days needs to make a permanent, decisive, irreversible end to EJ/Sami and the faster the better.

I don’t think anything is ‘now and forever’ on soaps. As the story has been written to this point, it’s clear that there will be yet another fracture in the EJami relationship when the truth about EJ’s involvement in the Sydnapping is revealed. And I suspect that’s when Safe will reunite. However, I believe that’s simply just the next phase of the story. EJami will always be in one another’s orbit…they share children and a connection that has withstood far greater obstacles. But the HUGE thing in their favor is the white hot chemistry that exists between Alison Sweeney and James Scott. It’s like lightening in a bottle – and I believe the powers that be at DAYS are well aware of it. EJami won’t be over once the truth comes out. If their story survived 12/29 and they went on to have another child together, this will simply be a blip in the radar. The legions of EJami fans are simply a testament to the power and potential this pairing has shared from day one.
EJami = Inevitable.

Sami is the only one for EJ, and EJ is the only one for Sami. They belong together as a couple, and as a family with their children.

EJ absolutely has a chance at Sami. I prefer EJami and it is because they have more history and two kids together so they seem to me the obvious choice, and the fact that James and Ali have more chemistry and sex appeal than any other pairing on the show right now. Realistically, the story can go either way, but this EJami fan will never give up on wanting a real love story for these two fabulously-flawed people.

THIS VIEWER WANTS EJAMI!

EJ and Sami have by far the more compelling love story, history and chemistry. They are the best couple on the show. Fans haven’t stuck around through endless trials and tribulations over 4 years for nothing. There is a reason EJ and Sami continue to be so popular.

Redemption, love and forgiveness are recurring themes in all EJami scenes and I believe that is not a coincidence. I ‘think’ viewers want a satisfying ending to this storyline which really began back in MAY 2008 and that ending is Sami and EJ reuniting and having the family and unconditional love they both have always wanted. Hopefully the show will deliver.
