After last Friday’s shocker that Days of our Lives James Scott (EJ) was wrapping up his eight years with taping his final episode on May 2nd, the extraordinarily popular received an outpouring of support from his fans, as well as those who were sad and disappointed.
As soap viewers know though, James had been giving careful consideration to departing the series for quite some time and rumors began surfacing that he might depart the long-running NBC soap opera over a year ago at some point in time.
In James latest interview with Soap Opera Uncensored where he is named “Sexiest Man Alive for 2014” an honor he also won back in 2011, he discusses his exit. Many would have James named ‘sexiest’ on their list every year!
James offered up on his decision to depart DAYS: “As you know by now I announced my leaving the show. It was a hard decision, and one I made almost a year ago. I have nothing but fond memories of my time with DAYS, and would like to reinforce that my decision was personal and had nothing to do with the direction of the show or my storyline. I just felt, and have for some time, that I needed a break. Ken Corday graciously said that the door would always be open for me to return, and if that were to happen in the future, I would be very happy to return to a place that will always be very close to my heart. “
What do you think about James latest statement on his decision to leave DAYS? Do you hope he will return someday? And what do you think about him being named “Sexiest Man Alive 2014”? Agree? Weigh-in below!

DAYS Kate Mansi Learns The Ropes Of Directing A Multi-Cam Soap In New DOOL App Series
She has won a Daytime Emmy for her stellar performances as Abigail Deveraux, but now as many know, Kate Mansi has been spreading her wings as a director behind-the-camera.
Mansi follows on the heels of such fan favorite actresses as: Alison Sweeney (Sami, DAYS), Heather Tom (Katie, B&B), Cady McClain (Dixie and Rosanna Ex-AMC and ATWT) and Kimberly McCullough (Robin, GH) all who have eventually gone on to direct daytime and primetime episodes of noted and successful series.
In the new DOOL app four-part series, From On-Stage to Behind-The-Scenes with Kate Mansi, the talented young actress learns the rigors and demands of working behind the camera in the fast world of daytime drama from Days of our Lives‘ director (and another Emmy winner) Sonia Blangiardo,who mentors Kate through the process.
The series talks about the current movement of having more female directors getting opportunities and be recognized for their work in film and TV, and the challenges a soap opera director faces every day: from dry block, where they work with the actors, working through their shot lists, and the ensuing problems that can arise in any production on the day to day. But in soaps, the pressure is really on, because there is not much time to re-shoot things and to get them right.
It’s a fascinating view of what goes on at as the director bring their vision to life in the world of soap in a realistic way. Make sure to download the DOOL app to check out Kate’s journey.
Now below, let us know if you saw the first episode of Kate;s directing journey on the DOOL app and what you thought of it? Look for new episodes to be posted every Thursday for the next three weeks.

It’s a Wrap For DAYS Galen Gering As He Shares Special Message To Fans: “I Hope You Know How Thankful I Am To Have Had You At My Side”
Today is a bittersweet day for longtime daytime favorite, Galen Gering. While on Wednesday; he is celebrating his birthday! (Happy birthday, Galen!), he is also finishing up his last day at Days of our Lives as Rafe Hernandez; a role he has played for the last ten years-plus.
In a heartfelt posting on his Instagram, Galen shared special thanks to all of his fans who watched his during his run in Salem.
Gering expressed: “Thank you all so much for the incredible birthday wishes. I’ve always seen birthdays as a day of reflection, an opportunity to look back at where I’ve been and where I’m going. So, it’s oddly befitting that today also happens to be my last day at Days. Man…I have such great memories from the last 10 years. Onscreen I’ve fought for marriages and fought evil twins. I’ve put people in prison and been imprisoned. And offscreen, I’ve made friendships that I will have for a lifetime. All the while, I’ve been so fortunate to have the love and support of the greatest fans in the world. I hope you know how thankful I am to have had you at my side. With that said, the journey continues and I hope to bring you along for the ride. Thanks for the memories Days of our Lives. Like sands through the hourglass… Love Y’all”

Sad to see him go, but I understand the need for a break.
He is the perfect choice for Sexiest Man Alive. ‘People’ mag, take note!
I agree that he should be sexiest man alive!! Wish he never left the show. But how can
He return to the show if he is deceased???? Really ??
Lol!!!
James Scott is sexy indeed he deserved to be named Sexiest man Alive. Kristen did inject something in Ej’s body, Stephano is up to something..Or..Maybe Ej paid off his killer to fake his murder so he wouldn’t do time for tax invasion. He could return from the ‘dead’….
He comes back, he comes back but if he doesnt the show will survive without him…after watching Days since the begining(when i was home from school or not hangin with friends) ive seen many comings and goings, especially in 1980 when many cast members were let go…and Days is still here!!!
I will miss my 2 fav. characters.
He can come back as long as he brings Allison(Sami) with him.
I love those 2 together. Ejami!
There is no Days without James and he is my favorite actor and I will truly miss him
It was on the air for 41 years before him and without him. It will be fine.
49 years for Days…you might have mistaken it for Y&R which is 41…Days has survived many cast changes, especially since 1980 when many cast members were let go and quit during the shows revamping…
It was 41 when James started playing EJ 8 years ago though. That’s what I said.
After 8 years been on DOOL i can understand James Scott needing a break.Now in a few months he might be willing to come back after he takes some time off to do other stuff in his life.
I think this as well…. with Eileen Davidson on the scene… and Joseph Mascolo … Kristen and Stefano… delivering… as only they can… EJ simply capped off, how much we, the audience, loved the DiMera family
I hope he gets all the time he needs
and simply returns… that open door… means so much to so many
James is definitely the sexiest man alive (aside from my boyfriend, OF COURSE!) I wish James nothing but success whatever he does in the future.
The “door is always open” sounds like exactly what was said to Ali Sweeney.
ditto.
these two… bar none… have unequivocally… escalated… DOOL to new heights.
this is the best time… for both… to take that MUCH deserved time off
I’ll be the first in line..to adamantly state… the welcome mat is theirs
what better time.. to map the canvas and feature… just how solid and “A” game.. DOOL brings to US
Absolutely. welcome mat will always be open to both James and Ali. Don”t know If I’ll be a daily devotee anymore though. Those two were my definite characters in the show.
Glad Eileen Davidson is back though! and wonder how Stefano is going to react to his son’s ” demise”. This ought of be good. So bored with the Ben/Jordan/Abilgai;/ Rafe story though. they better bring in some new characters and story lines or i’ll quit wartchig aferr 35 yesrs.
I will certainly miss James and would love to see him return in the future. Sexiest man alive, hmmmmm!! Yes, yes, yes!!!
I needed a break from EJ as well. Wish James Scott all the best though. Maybe I’ll be ready for EJ to return in a decade or so.
James Scott can portray emotions better than any actor that I have ever watched. I have watched days intermittently since it began but have watched it continuously since James Scott was introduced on the show. I will miss his character but I am sure I will be watching him in other adventures. He is a great talent.
i agree w u ..James is the ultimate actor & I wil stop watching DAYS as soon as he is gone 🙁 I will follow his career 4ever.
I will follow DAYS 4ever.
James is an AMAZING Actor !!!!!! One of the best on DOOL , He will be missed !!!!!!!!!! I REALLY HOPE HE go on to MOVIES !!!!!!!!!!! I know he is engaged and needs his own personal time , I wish HIM Best in all his personal endeavors , AND YES< HE IS HOT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are. Truly a very SEXY MAN …. You are. More SEXY. Then George Clooney I tune in to watch you & Alison. … Each day I am loyal Days Fan. You will be deeply missed by me & all your Fans. Days. Will not be same without you & Alison. I hope you will come back to the show & not stay away too long. I have watched Days. Since the 60’s I am 62. Yrs old. Days is the only soap I watch. Good luck to you. In your future projects. You will be greatly missed … I am so sad.
I wish James Scott the very best. He is a very talented actor. Frankly, Days won’t be watchable without EJ!
James Scott as sexiest man alive is a no brainer! I am sad to see him leave Days but totally will follow him wherever he ends up. I’m sure he will have a great career because he is so talented. I’m glad Corday has left the door open for him to come back…same as Alison. They are a dynamic duo and I’d love to see them both come back even if it’s for short story arcs. Either way I wish James all the best.
yes he is the sexiest man alive, every day, every year, and the BEST actor on DAYS..I will miss him & follow his career wherever he goes.
His going is a huge void for Days. He was the leading man. Who is going to take his place?
Days is an ensemble show, there aren’t any real ‘leading characters’. Granted, Daniel was on the show just as much as EJ was in recent times. Days will likely start focusing even more on Dannifer…blech.
Since Allison Sweeney is also leaving the show, I already saw it coming… It wouldn’t be right for either of them to be coupled with someone else from the show… it just wouldn’t be the same… So sad to see him go… SEXIEST MAN ALIVE IS VERY DESERVED of this actor because that is exactly what he is… Show will not be the same without him = (
Um, Alison and James have been with other people on the show more than they have been with each other! LOL
One silver lining to all of this? We will never have to hear from “Ejamis” ever. EVER. AGAIN.
LOL
Also, of the almost 50 years that the show has been on, he has only been on for 8. I think they’ll be alright. ; )
LOL
you may have a point… altho… for DAYS press… I don’t mind ALL the Ejami Fans
these two rank right up there
with:
OLTL FANS
Michelle Stafford Fans
??? hummm… Jason, GH fans ???
you get the drill
I will always celebrate Michael Muhney
Yes!! Totally agree!!
So sad to see him go. But we only get one life and he has to do what is best for him. I will miss seeing him on my screen nearly every day. He is absolutely the sexiest man alive! No contest! But he is also so amazingly talented. James and Ali have been fantastic to watch together over the past eight years. I will miss their talent, dedication, and hard work. They always brought a smile to my face when I got to watch them. Soaps are the best stress relief when I get home from a tough day at work.
Best of luck to him!
James Scott : extraordinaire
he has always bowled me over
Good for James!!! He’s a smart and talented guy, and it’s time for him to be exploring bigger and better opportunities.
Sexiest man alive? You bet!
I think James gave Days eight wonderful years. EJ DiMera is my favorite character. But I understand his need to rest and perhaps try other things. It will be wonderful if James does land in primetme or in the movies. I know he has a movie in pre-production so hopefully that will be on our screens in the coming year.
The sexiest man alive to me has been James Scott for years now. Glad Nelson returned the honor to him.
it’s the MOST amazing thing
I was watching AMC when he first started… and he was let go or had run it’s course
and lo and behold… he lands in Salem
8 years of STAR Power
how do you go beyond that
I treasure his belong on DAYS
Thanks for the James Scott update Michael!!!!
I could never fault James for doing what he thinks is best for him. But because James is such a great actor. I can’t help but feel a wee bit sad. I so look forward to possibly seeing him on my TV screen every week day!!!
But I know James will come back with big and better things!!!!
Enjoy your break James. This fan thinks you so deserve it!!!
it’s with tears of joy and sadness… but.. well lived
we lived thru and shared his craft
MAN… the stuff he brought to DOOL
I can’t thank him enough
his portrayal is already in the history books and echelon of fan BEST
I love James Scott, and I know he’d been thinking for a while of leaving, and I respect his professionalism, both on and off screen.
However, with his comment about the EJ-cheating story line feeling like “a bit of a slap in the face” to him and Ali as actors, I have have a hard time fully believing him when he says that his decision to leave had nothing to do with the direction of the story. He made his decision almost a year ago. Gee, that would have been just about the time he’d have received the scripts for January’s scenes, lol.
Who knows if I’m right, but you’d be hard pressed to convince me otherwise.
Anyway, he is definitely the sexiest man alive, and more importantly, one of the most talented actors around, and a sweet, intelligent individual. Days (and viewers) were very lucky to have him.
You will be missed, Mr. Scott! Look forward to seeing you in new projects! Good luck!
he will return in 2015….as a new character…on GENERAL HOSPITAL….as the new love interest of Dr. Robin Scorpio-Drake…and be Patrick’s biggest rival.
Personally, I can’t imagine Days without EJ and Sami of course. They are without a doubt the BEST duo on Days. No other duo comes remotely close to the extraordinary chemistry these 2 share on screen.
Hopefully, both will return at some point, but if Alison is not interested, I would certainly welcome James back. He is the BEST leading man on Days, who captured a HUGE fan base.
Best wishes to James with future adventures.
He will always be the “SEXIEST MAN FOR ANY YEAR’ in my books.
His talent, his abilities at this work, his caring of others including his dogs etc., environment, command of the English Language, his manners at interviews etc., and most of all how he remains such a private person. I love the latter about him and hope with more success that he can maintain that quality. To have a PRIVATE LIFE in acting business is very difficult but since I have watch and read his interviews for 8 years now I believe he can succeed in both areas.
I love his slight accent since it always reminds me of my Mom, scary some times. She lived in Edinbourgh, Scotland dring her young years.
Wish James future is to his liking but please somehow let fans know your next project if possible.
GOOD LUCK & GOD BLESS…
I had made up my mind when AS announced in January on the Ellen show that she was leaving that Sami’s last day would be my last day. EJ & Sami were the reason I started watching again after an almost 20 year hiatus from days. Almost 8 years ago my television was on and I looked up & saw the two of them I was hooked! Without Sami there would never be an Ejami & I couldn’t have watched Days pair EJ with someone other than Sami. I am selfish because I was hoping James would leave when AS left…when I heard the news I was relieved. I adore James Scott and am waiting to see him in either primetime or as the next 007. Sexiest Man Alive doesn’t even come close to describing this man! Well deserved though! Will miss both James & Ali immensely!
James and Ali have been with other people more than they have been with each other. You must not have been watching very long.
And it is kinda pathetic to want an actor to leave his job over a fictional couple, especially if you “never planned to watch again!” LOL
Thank God that after October we never have to hear from Ejamis EVER AGAIN. LOL
Pathetic? Seriously??? Fictional???Yes I realize this is all FAKE! Hello Its a SOAP OPERA???? Ding ding ding DONG! Doesn’t change what a viewer wants! Don’t worry because after EJ & Sami are gone from Days you whoever you are don’t have many days left. Ejamis will be gone and you will never have to hear from us again! Guess what we won’t have to hear from you either because you will be gone too! Ejami made the show! I watched for a very long time but all the other pairings paled in comparison.
The supercouple stratosphere… is alive and well, because of:
I would herald to any and all… that James Scott and Alison Sweeney beckoned… MAGIC tour de force belonging captured hithered throughout
They will never be far from our imagination
hope someday EJ Will return to dool.
He will be missed!
i am devastated, sincerely, James is what has kept me hanging onto DAYS for yrs now. I wanted to walk away from DOOLS when they let BO go, I feel the show took a nose dive about that time, many actors leaving, esp the ones i have watched for yrs. NOW with EJ aka James Scott gone, I can no longer stay with this show..He & Allison (Sami) were the reason I tuned in every day. They were the most convincing, passionate couple on this show, you would think they were a real couple in love. Sami is a gr8 actor, BUT EJ is meant for the BIG Screen/Broadway (NYC), I plan to follow his career, where ever it takes him. I wish him the Best of Luck, Health & Happiness. <3
Bo is coming back
I understand his decision to depart the series, and I wish him the best. And I do hope he comes back after he’s gotten what it is that he wants to get out of his break from DAYS.
Can i say Adam Recast !!…..James Scott would be an excellent Adam Newman!!
I would tune in to : Y&R
as he lays waste to Genoa City… and takes over
Long Live the DiMera’
wouldn’t it be something, for Stefano to acquiesce, and or build his empire :
Abs (Horton) is pregnant from EJ
Kristen returns, with child, (from “father” Eric BRADY) or Brady, KIRIAKIS
let it not be said…
I’ve always depended on the DiMera clan to feast
———-
as i’ve always festerd:
all of Salem haloed…
and stampedes :
Kristen
Nick
Theresa
Oye! I gallantly impede, with:
love these actors
abby is not preggo.
DOOL Writers –
Once it became apparent he was leaving I hope you were able to script lots of shirtless scenes to help us get over this.
The show has gone to a path of predictable, mind numbing storylines & both really bad characters and casting decisions through the past few years. No wonder audience is ditching the show in crowds.
Two of the most talented & charismatic actors of leaving (James & Ali) there’s nothing left to watch.
DAYS continues to mainstay
being in Salem enlivens my televised experience
I happily tune in and share who extrordinary Salem IS
I happily soap box… how relevant DAYS has stayed the Serial histrionics
how could we not miss :
Kayla

I don’t know about James Scott, but I think in time they might recast the role– the Dimera – Brady feud has been at the heart of DAYS a very long time, so I can’t imagine them ditching that family altogether. So as long as one Dimera is on canvas, the possibility of EJ coming back is always there– but whether James Scott will play him — who knows. I hope he goes onto bigger and better things– but he might find himself going from a big fish in a small pond to a small fish in a large ocean.
no to recast. James owns EJ and no one will compare to him.
Unfortunately, that doesn’t matter– if they can recast Ridge on B&B after RM played him for over twenty-five years or Phyllis on Y&R after MS played her for 15– they certainly would recast EJ if story line dictated it and JS wasn’t available. I don’t think they would just yet, but in a year or two, you never know.
I also think in time the show will recast EJ because of who the character is and he has kids on the show.Yeah Johnny and Sydney will probably be leaving too with their parents but they could always return.However the show may know recasting now won’t work and that the viewers may need time to adjust to James Scott been gone.Also before the show recasts EJ they might approach James Scott about returning and that way they can say they asked him about coming back at least.
I was so sad when I read that James would not be renewing his contract but not surprised because he and Alison Sweeney are such a dynamite couple; I don’t know how it would be for him staying on Days without his co-star . I also did read, some time ago, that James said he did not plan on acting for his whole life; there were many other things that he was interested in. I also read that he said he would love to relocate to New Zealand one day. Who knows? Maybe he will go on to be a famous photographer and not act. Whatever, or wherever his life takes him, I will always be a James Scott and EJami fan! He will be missed! The Sexiest Man Alive!! There are many EJami and James Scott fans out here in tvland who would agree to that!! I hope that EJami gets their HEA!!!! I have episodes on my dvr that I will never delete. They are there for me to watch when I get nostalgic for James and Ali and the wonderful love story that was EJami!!!
James brought life to DAYS and it will never be the same without him. He’s genius actor that show raw of emotions. I wish him the best and hope to see him again either at DAYS or any other show.
I think both EJ and Sami will be back eventually….so I’m not getting too upset…they all eventually come back! 😉
I do hope james scott returns n the future. Alot of fans including me or saddend bc of his departure from dool. I wish him the best. If possible let ur fans know how ur doing n other projects. If james scott plays n movies or other shows we fans would love 2 watch. Yes james scott is definately sexy 2014 n so on.
I wish James all the best EJ was the only cool character on the show along with Sami their scenes were never dull they such great chemistry whether it didn’t matter whether they were in love or they hate each other Ejami burned up my screen. I also have a hard time in believing this storyline wasn’t part of the reason why he waslked away from the show. He didn’t like it at first and although he did say he love in the end I bet when they had EJ cheat on Sami he lost faith in the writers when it came to writing future storylines for Ejami.
Why are James and Alison leaving at the same time well the same month if not day?
Bet they both got fed up we had Ali saying only year she wanted Sami with EJ he was the man that understood Sami the best and didn’t want to go back to Rafe I bet that what the writer were planning to do
IN : Eileen Davidson : Kassie DePaiva
OUT : James Scott : Alison Sweeney
what an easy transition… for intrigue
these 4 actors… are a big part of how colossal : HUGE : entertainment value
especially, during the summer months… and, with hope… JS and AS will have rested and taken all the time off they need… and it’s back to business…. DOOL at its best
I think, James Scott, would appreciate this… as he cares about his craft and DOOL
Wally Kurth’ Justin IS the sexiest man alive…. on canvas
I appreciate them both
The DiMera family on DOOL
beyond belief : catapulted : stratosphered : mega watt
Stefano
Kristen
Peter
Lexie
EJ
Chad
aplomb… deserving of so much attention
I think they should write him and Sami off for a while like they are cruising around the world then beg them to come back and play storylines off there children and just have them like maggie and victor please do everything you can to get them back!!!! They will regret it they always do days needs them!!!!
I – certainly – hope so
it’s emotional stuff
you think.. how treasured Maggie and Victor, are
why wouldn’t we not see EJ and Sami… alongside with : DAYS forever
One thing I’ll be pleased about is that Days of EJami will finally be over and we can all return to Days of our Lives!! I’m not worried about the show. The return of Kristen will bring a lot of action and hopefully TPTB will wake up and bring back Belle, Shawn and Phillip, wouldn’t mind Chloe either then we’re in business!
Thank you! Completely agree! I hated EJami even more than Dannifer, and that’s saying a LOT!
i always thought he would make a great james bond
I never got the Lock,Stock and Barrel,never cared for EJ and happy he is gone,good luck to James and his new move,,,
give me Tony John and my fav: Lucas 🙂
completely agree!
why after 21 years Alison/Sami wants to leave the show?she should have stayed to Days 50th year,so why now?
I dont buy why she and James are leaving?
Allison Sweeney has the right to leave anytime she wants.However she did say she would be willing to return even it is just for Holidays or special events.So maybe she’ll be back for the 50th anniversary next year.However right now she just might need a break to spend time with her family with Summer coming up and to do other stuff in her life.
never cared for EJ,but good luck to James.
give this fan of 49 years Tony Lucas and John and Im good 🙂
I will follow Days forever,and all the vets,,, and my Lucas 🙂
Too bad he missed the casting call for The Fifty Shades of Gray movie…he would have been perfect!!!
I can imagine James Scott in the role of James Bond. He could be a film star. I also would like to see him on Dancing With the Stars!
I’m glad the door remains open for James to return to Days. But since he could also become a film star, who knows what direction his career will take? What would really be cool is if James does become a major film star AND he returns periodically to Salem to reprise his role as EJ. That would be a hoot!
I think it would probably be healthy for all the major actors on Days to have a little time off at the end of each contract to rest or pursue other projects that they cannot do during regular taping on Days. We fans don’t really know what it takes for the actors to deliver the great performances that we enjoy watching. They need to “recharge their batteries” every now and then.
I hope the Daytime soaps adopt this as a policy – if they have not done so already.
yes, James Scott is the most talented actor or actress i heve ever seen on any soap opera, And he would be an excellent James Bond. Find it hard that he could come back from the dead though, as Sami has seen him in the morg. but the two had a dynamite chemistry. Hope some day he will be “raised from the dead” and Ali will come back just for all of her shenanigans! ( and I acted on the stage in my younger years), and I can say that James Scott can say a paragraph just with his eyes. What an actor. he will be sorely missed.
I have not always cared for the storylines that James was given, but no matter what was thrown at him he ALWAYS gave 110%. In my opinion, his talent raised the bar for all the other cast members. I think anyone that was given the opportunity to work with him became a better actor themselves and that includes Alison Sweeney. I’ve loved Ali/Sami since she came on the show over 20 years ago but I have to say that working with James made her a much stronger actress and gave her the opportunity to really explore different sides of Sami Brady. I really hope with them both leaving that Ejami will get their happily ever after. It’s what James & Ali want and it’s what Ejami fans have waited for since he “accidently” dropped his towel at their first meeting.
With James, Ali & Blake gone I’m not sure I’ll continue watching once they’re off my screen, but in the meantime I’m going to enjoy EVERY scene they’re in.
