Ali that was so awesome of you and Bryan to do for Save the Earth and Nicole! You looked ravishing in the dress on the View! I'm ecstatic that Days got so many noms. YAY! Take care and keep the blogs coming. I love reading your thoughts; you're such a positive person.

TTYL, Betsy in NC

PS~ Can't wait to see EJ tipsy! ;o) Those big sloppy, wet hugs from little ones are the bestest!

It was great to see Days get a lot of noms..but 'sniff' wanted a few more.

Aaww, I love reading your blogs, Ali! Ben sounds so sweet! I just had a baby myself - born on Christmas Day!
I, too, can't wait to see a tipsy EJ!
Katie :)

Ali, it's amazing all the stuff you do! You're like Superwoman! ;) I can't wait to see EJ tipsy. The last time he was was really heartbreaking, hopefully this time is more light-hearted.
One last thing, you definitely deserved an Emmy nom. You were fantastic last year! They're crazy for nominating you!

I mean crazy for NOT nominating. I hate that I can't edit stuff!

Thanks for sharing such an incredible experience with us, Ali. I'm sure Nicole was thrilled.

I'm happy for Rachel, Darrin, Judi and Thaao too. But I still think that you and James were robbed! The performance and effort that went into the dual roles that you guys played as Santeen and Ejami was exceptional, and should have been rewarded.

I'm looking forward to those tipsy EJ scenes, to see if I can catch you cracking up, LOL :)

Wow, Ali. Sounds like you had one whirlwind adventure in NYC. That was really sweet what you, Bryan, Ed and the others did for the Save The Earth and Nicole. Congratulations to all the Days actors who got nominated although I am sadly disappointed that you and James didn't get nomintated. I really feel you both got shafted as you did a great job last year. Better luck in the future to you both. I am excited to see EJ tipsy and the future of EJami. Much kisses and hugs to Ben.

Sounds like you had a wonderful trip. You deserved a nomination yourself but there is always next year! Can't wait to see the next few months of Days play out on my screen. Should be wonderful & exciting.

Ali, sounds like you had a great time, I always love hearing about the fun you and Bryan have off the set. You two looked great on The View. I'm sorry you didn't get nominations but I am very excited for the others! Ben sounds so cute!

Thanks for blogging again Ali! Those wet hugs are the best, even if mom does end up wet. And how wonderful are you and Bryan going to that school and making that sweet girl's day! You are both such wonderful giving performers and your fans appreciate everything you both do for them! I can just imagine all the fun you had!

aww alison that adorble about your son,.

l can't hardly wait to see you the scene between you/bryan/james ,..

l was sad you didn't got nom because you deserve one,.. anyway l'm glad you had great time

Hey Ali! =)

WOW, you are a whirlwind of action! I can't wait to see drunk EJ. lol How fabulous of your and Bry to go to New York. I want to thank you for taking the time out to reach out, inspire and motivate. It is easy to see why I adore you so and respect you as an actress, mother and woman. Now get the crew to come over to Hawaii so I can meet you and the cast! lol (I figure if I keep asking. maybe at some point you will use your persuasive talents to enroll them into the vision of visiting Hawaii. Can't blame a girl for trying!) So FF's Gigi is with a Rex? LOL Now that must be a real stretch...teehee. Were the writers worried that Farah just didn't want to remember another soap lovers name? I hope FF is having a great B-day. She is such a cutie. I really hope she is happy and being treated with the respect she deserves on her new show....Days lost a lot of great characters and she most certainly played one of them. I am still reeling from the loss of Martha. =( Ben, he just sounds soooooo cute. 3-5 years old is my favorite age for little ones. Of course I love my daughter at ANY age, but you get what I mean...I must let you know, I read the new SOD article and I am SOOOOO excited I can not even express my joy. I thought the article was brilliant, both you and James expressed yourselves with such integrity and grace. I was also glad to hear the Bryan has some good material coming up as well as seeing a shift in the character. Basically I can't wait for what is coming and I am chomping at the bit to get to the meaty stuff. How silly is it that a soap story line is making me giddy? I am basically on cloud nine right now. EEEEKKKKK! I am SOOOOOOOO FRIGGIN EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Giddy Ali, I am seriously giddy! Have a great day and I hope to hear from you soon.
Your Friend,
Shakabigfoot

P.S. Congrats Days on the nominations! Hair and makeup always do such a fantastic job. I am so happy for the actors that ended up getting a nod. Personally I think both you and James should of been in the mix. Even with poor writing you and James always found a way to rock it and add layers. Even though I am a bit biased...the truth is you two REALLY did deserve a nod as well. But who cares? That process is flawed anyway and at least this year the Days cast did get some acknowledgment, which is better then it has been. Besides, you two are winners to me and MANY others!
Aloha,
Shakabigfoot

Thanks so much for the blog Ali! What an amazing trip and it is so wonderful what Nicole is doing! A certain fictional Nicole could learn a few things from the real life angel Nicole. :) You and Bryan are awesome for surprising her like that.

It really is great about the Days noms but I was sad that you and James were overlooked - I loved that People magazine thought you and James should have been nominated though!!

Can't wait to read about your next adventure! :)

so you finally throw a bone to ejamis. too little, too late. you have made your choice clear for lumi.

Hey Ali, love the blog and the show. As an Ejami fan I am so excited to see these scenes. You and James make my DAYS.

much love, Danniale Ejamifan

Ali you looked lovely on "The View". It must have been so nice to hear those DOOL names. It was great of you and Bryan to go visit the girl on Long Island. I bet she will never forget that experience.

I'm looking forward to all the upcoming scenes with EJ and Sami. The tipsy EJ sounds like fun. Thanks for sharing with us.

ah ali that was a cute mommy son moment...i love those with my boys...so sorry to see you and james didn't get any emmy nominations...you both really deserved it......love your blog

Hey Ali,
Glad to hear you enjoyed NYC...I live in NJ so I go to the city often :o) I think its fantastic that you and Bryan visited Nicole, I'm sure it was a great experience for all of you. And as far as those big, sloppy, wet hugs go I work at a daycare center and nothing makes me happier than coming in to work in the morning and being bombarded by eight 1 1/2-2 year olds giving me hugs and kisses and wanting to picked up! Congratulations to Days for the Emmy nominations...good luck!

Ali, thank you so much for sharing. There's NOTHING in the world like hearing the shout before you even get in the door, "MOMMY'S HOME!!!!" So when reading "Ben, where are you?" my mother-heart was right there with you! LOL! What a gift, hm? Glad you had a wonderful time, and it's always a gas to hear about special fans who get the surprise that they'll remember all the Days of their Lives. Sweet.

Ali, you are awesome, nuff said!

Aw, Ben is as sweet as his mommy :) Seriously, it's hard to believe you can play a girl that has been over the top selfish and kinda mean -- but you really do a great job when you do Ali! That's why Sami is so popular, she is so fun to watch. But she is nothing at all like the one who plays her. Your blogs are always so full of a genuine appreciation for the laughter, love and excitement that is a part of you life, I can't be jealous....it couldn't be happening to a nicer person. And truly you deserve recognition for the amazing work you did last year as Colleen. I was so impressed with your performance. You are a terrific actress, which is why I believe you have been so successful w/DAYS. :) Love to ya kiddo &((hugs))

Hi Ali - Sounds like you guys had a great time in NY. I think its wonderful how so many of the DOOL actors take time to get involved with the fans and with very worthy causes. Always good to get home to the kids though! Very happy about all of the Emmy noms, (esp Thaao and Rachel) but I still think you and James were ROBBED. Probably because the storyline was too "controversial". Oh well, you'll get them next year! SO excited for the upcoming EJ/Sami story line and glad to have Bryan back. Keep blogging, I love to read about what you're doing, stories about Ben, and behind the scenes at DOOL. Have a good night!

PS - Please tell James to update his blog - we miss him!!

Hey Ali! Thanks for posting again so soon! You looked beautiful on the View! I'm so excited that Days actually got some nominations this year - it rocks! I'm bummed that you and James didn't get a nom but we know you're both completely awesome! I'm so glad you and Bry were able to take time and make Nicole's day like that - it was very sweet of you. And, what cute welcome home from Ben! I totally can't wait to see this drunk EJ scene - if you were having trouble keeping a straigh face, then I know I'll be lmao! It sure sounds like we'll be having a fun May sweeps - yay!

Susan

People Mag thought James and Ali should of been nominated? They have great taste and are 100% correct. Now that must make you feel good Ali. It should because it's true. The level of quality of work you bring under such insane working conditions is unfathomable.

Thanks for blogging again Ali. I really loved your dress on The View, you looked Gorgeous, yellow looked fab on you.I was disappointed to see that both you and James didn't get the noms, that I thought you guys more than deserved.I am glad that DAYS got Emmy nominations though:].Its awesome what you and Bryan did for Natalie.I can't wait to see the tipsy EJ scenes, they should be funny.

Ali~ I hope that you and James become closer on the show! but I think when Bry comes back the sparks are going to fly! I just hate to see you in the middle. But I think that is where Sami feels the most comfortable! You are so dedicated and it shows. Keep up the good work!!

Hey Alie
Loved reading about yours and Bryan’s trip to NYC and your meeting with Nicole. Glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves. And how cute is Ben! Awwwww
Can’t wait to see some new lumi scenes. We have SO MISSED to se them both together! Greatest couple on soap!
Love ya, Maral

yea baby she loved it!

Ali, I am so excited that Days was recognized by the Emmy's, but am completely bummed that you and James were robbed- you are both amazing actors and really deserved a nomination. I cannot wait to see the scenes you are talking about with EJ tipsy, he is such a fantastic actor I am sure they are great. And you are so wonderful and it is awesome to see you blogging again so soon- your true fans really appreciate it. I cannot wait for more EJAMI!

You did such a wonderful job on the view, and you looked beautiful. It was so great to hear about what you did for Nicole, I am sure that is something she will remember for the rest of her life! She is inspirational!

I love the article in SOD, you and James always express yourselves so well! I am very excited for the upcoming events on Days!

Ben sounds like an absolute doll, it is great being a mom isn't it!

JSfaninCanada

Hi Ali, I have been a big fan of yours since you blew on the scene long ago. I am so excited that we are finally getting EJami. It has been a long and hard road, but it will be worth it in the end. I can't wait to see your scenes together and EJ tipsy! lol I loved the SOD article and the photos. It made my EJami heart proud! :D I am excited to see what this year holds for the show. I was so upset that you and James didn't get nominated. Both of you did an excellent job last year and I felt that you both deserved it. Enough of my ramblings. Have a good day Ali! :D

i think you are so good at what you do alison sweeney's so keep up the good work and i watch you every day you are a good person .
darlene hopkins

Hey Ali! It was great to see you and Bry on The View! You two did a great job, and it is always so nice to see you two together! Keep up the great work, we appreciate all that you do!
Hugs,
Aimee

You are such a class act, Alison. I love everything you do. Bryan also. I am so excited to see you all on screen together again. KEep up the wonderful work you do.

Ali, thank you for always taking the time to blog, could you please tell James to do the same; we are dying to hear from him!
thanks again!

Ali, you are the best! could you please tell us how it was for you to plant that hot sizzling kiss(which we will see soon) on James? You are so lucky!!

Thanks for posting the pictures and for updating your blog. I just love to hear about things like this. You guys took a great photo.

I hated that you and James didn't get nominated but I'm so happy for the ones that did!! Who knows maybe next year it will happen. As always thank you for your hard work. In my book you are ALL winners and I'm so proud to be a Days Fan!!!

Also, I saw you in SOD and you look absolutely fabulous!!! You and James took a beautiful picture too. Can I tell you I must live in an area where there are a ton of EJami fans because there weren't many copies left of that magazine. I think this might be SOD's biggest seller:)

Hey, drunk "Anonymous" person posting at 5 am in the morning. EJami fans don't think Sami "loved" what EJ did to her. We love EJami inspite of 12/29. Maybe if you put the bottle down from time to time, you could see that.

Hi Ali,
I have never writen on a blog (I'm in my 30's and this is new). Anyway on May 2nd episode you were wearing this great purple top, shortsleeve with ruffles down the front. Can you share where that top is available? I've checked bebe and banana republic with no luck? I love you by the way and you look fantastic.

Nicole and her classmates must've had a great time!

good on them for for wearing those save the earth shirts which are not cool looking, but get the message out!

did Nicole say what are fav s/l's are...

here i am expecting an answer

duh, Ali is too busy!

Ali, it is absolutely amazing the time you give so unselfishly to others, and how you (and Bryan) have gone so out of your way to give a young girl the thrill of a lifetime. Thank you from all your fans.
You always were a favorite of us at the Early Edition, and I do not think any of us have wavered in that respect.
Through the years Sami has had her ups and downs, and you have weathered the storms that came with various writers, some who did not "get" Sami, and those who knew exactly what Sami is all about. The person who really knows Sami is you, and I really appreciate how difficult it has been at times for you.
But again.....I doubt we in mid-west America will ever get to have PAs here.....but I know how greatful those that get to see you are. God Bless you, your husband, and that darling little Ben.

Barb

Hey, Ali! Thank you for blogging again so soon. What an amazing experience to share with Nicole and her friends. One of my sisters is diagnosed as borderline down's syndrome. Whatever borderline means. lol But I could just feel Nicole's excitement through that picture. I can imagine how excited she must have felt. My sister loves stuff like that. You guys are great. I can't wait to see Sami, EJ and Lucas together again. I am a neutral on the whole lumi/ejami thing. I just love Sami and want her to be married and stick. LOL
How sweet of a homecoming with little Ben. I love when my kids meet me at the door. I can imagine how you felt after being gone so long and wondering where that welcome was. But the "mommy I'm all wet" was just too cute. Thank you for blogging. Hope to hear from you again soon. Oh, and I also loved that purple blouse you had on the other day. Purple must be your color. You looked beautiful. Take care!
Rhonda

Hi Ali, I agree w/ Rhonda. I"m glad you're blogging again. I was afraid that the horrible stunt and horrible posts by both fan bases would have alienated you from your fans. I'm so glad you were able to see past their hot, flared tempers and realize that there are so many other level headed DAYS and Sami fans (and Ali ones *smile*)that love you and the show no matter what. I'm glad you made it home safely after having such an active and fun filled few days (working, traveling, catching up with old co-workers, celebrating, rehearsals, meeting fans, activities, etc..)and that your sweet funny little guy was awake to give you a big sloppy wet hug. hahahaha!...

Take care, Ali.

I love u ali My mom even watches u on the show. So you have to be good.

Love reading your posts Ali! Thank you!

Twilight1

Bad Sami has kept me a fan of days of our lives when more than likely I would have stopped watching.

Thank you so much for posting again! We appreciate your patients with us fans! :) Sounds like you had a great time! I'm bummed that I didn't get to see you walking down 5th Avenue...I was just there a month ago...I would have freaked out!! Don't you just love it seeing your kids for the first time after you've been away???? There is truly no better feeling!!

We love following up with those selfless things you do such as visiting the young girl named Nicole, with autism!
You are awesome...
XOXO

One of the best things of visiting your site is seeing how nice a person you truly are! I have a young relative with autism and really love the fact that you visited with that young girl "Nicole" it must have been an amazing experience for her! We fans love seeing how truly kindhearted you are, so Thanks!!!
Maggie

Its good that u visited Nicole.My brother has autism so its nice to see people being more aware of it,since im 13 and cant do much about it.

Thanks for blogging again so soon! I love to read your blog because you are such a positive, loving person, it just shines through. I too was thrilled to see DOOL getting some Emmy recognition, and I too found it amazing that you and James weren't among the nominees - you both did such incredible work with the dual storyline last year, I was knocked over by it! I am very much looking forward to some fun EJ/Sami/Lucas scenes - I am an EJ/Sami fan for sure - what great chemistry you two have! - but I am also excited to hear that Bryan is getting some new storyline possibilities and a chance to take his character in some interesting new directions - goodness all around! ;-) Finally, I just *melted* reading about your welcome home from Ben - cuteness overload! Thanks so much for sharing!

Hey Ali! Thanks for the post. Can't wait to see tipsy EJ! I am so excited to see where Sami's relationship with EJ goes. You and James have amazing chemistry and I feel that not only should you have both been nominated, but you both should have won Emmys for your incredible performances over the past year. Keep up the good work! I thoroughly enjoy your storylines and they are what keep me tuned into Days.

Just watched today's Days and I wanted to knwo what kind of eyeglasses were you wearing? They were so cute.

Just watched today's Days and I wanted to know what kind of eyeglasses were you wearing? They were so cute.

Ali, You look so pretty in your pictures, as always though. I am praying along with all my EJami fans for Sami and EJ to end up together. I'm so glad they are getting the marriage annulled soon, so maybe they can fall in love for real. It is the highlight of my days to come home from school, flip on the dvr and watch Days- No, that's wrong- to watch Sami and EJ!.. then discuss it with my friends. I am so thrilled with this weeks episodes of Sami. Thank- You so much for giving EJami fans what they want, even if it isn't allowed to last... =(

It was sweet of you to visit with Nicole, but did you stop for a minute and ponder what a bad influence your stand on the current storyline would be on Nicole and others her age? Pretty irresponsible of you if you ask me.

dear ali this is rhiannon and i have been a huge day fan for sometime,im also kind of sweet on james scott myself,i wanted to just say that the love scenes between you and james were BEAUTIFUL you and he showed such ardent passion as if your spirits and personas were melding together,i very much like him better with you than that tart nicole,but now that lucas is back in the picture well have to see how it goes,i think you are a beautiful and talented woman ,and i having an 18 month old daughter myself can certainly relate.keep doing what you do ,and please tell james that rhiannon sends her love.alway a fan-rhiannon lilliana

You are about an hour away from my hometown at the Indy 500 race! Kinda neat! My mother told me you were on tv. I missed it, dang. I cannot wait until the next season of The Biggest Loser is back because that and DAYS are my favorite shows and you a part of both of them- kinda cool. I look forward to TBL coming back on, do you know when that will be? Probably around August I presume? Excited for the Ejami scenes this summer... I hope they are magical :)

WHEN IS THIS EJAMMIE CRAP ENDING????

Will Sami and Lucas get back together and stay together and stay married like Alice Horton.

I think that will sami and lucas should get back together as a happy family

I think that will sami and lucas should get back together as a happy family

I THINK WILL SAMI AND LUCAS SHOULD STAY MARRIED AND AS A HAPPY FAMILY TOO

Hi Ali
I am a big fan and was wondering how tall you are

5' 4" (1.63 m) according to imdb.com
