summer days

hey everyone! I'm so happy it's summer. Days is on hiatus for the next two weeks. We shot a whole bunch of episodes in advance so that we can take a mini summer break. though I guess we'll be pre-empted by tennis on the 2nd and 3rd of July. Better to know now right, then that crappy moment of turning on your dvr when you get home and finding that you've recorded an hour of news or golf or something. aargh. when I used to record the show - back in the days of making sure your vcr was left on the right channel, I used to have to leave post-it notes on the remote to make sure my brothers didn't screw it up. and I would be SO disappointed when it did get messed up. i remember my younger bro giving me such a hard time about watching Days, and then one day he saw that Carly had married Victor and he said "but i thought he was a bad guy?" and i laughed! that's how addictive Days can be.
Speaking of Carly, i am so excited by the return of Crystal and Wally. I never worked with Wally, I am excited to find out what his story will be. Same goes for Crystal! She is such a talented actress, we are lucky to have her.

I have to thank all the awesome fans who have posted on my twitter account and facebook page about the Baby Grace storyline. It was certainly the most challenging of my career. And as a mom, I felt such a responsibility to play it as real, and true as possible. My mom told me last night she had trouble watching the scenes. Being in the middle of it, (and shooting BL at the same time) I wasn't really able to take note of everyone elses performances while we were filming the scenes. So I was so affected by watching the scenes air. Ari blew me away - every moment so brutal as Nicole realizes what she's done.(can i get a shout-out for Sole? Ari & I LOVE working together! Can't wait to see what happens b/w Sami & Nicole!) James reflecting EJ's grief and the DiMera steel, finding both sides of such a complex character. Galen was incredible. This was the first opportunity for me to really see just how talented Galen is - and he totally rocked his scenes. Playing Rafe so strong for Sami,, making her a priority and then revealing how in pain he is in other ways. and it was nice to see the other stories surrounding it. I loved Will and Lucas's scenes... the lumi fan in me loved how Lucas rushed off to make sure Sami was okay. i love when the writers acknowledge the past or family ties characters share. too often on soaps, you find yourself working with the same 3 actors over and over. Which I totally get, but it's really nice to break that up - like the scenes Sami had with Stephanie, they are cousins after all, I love working with Shelley so hopefully there will be more opportunities to play that relationship - I miss Belle, and Marlena! (haha, I don't think Sami misses Carrie.)
I am so excited to have some down time with my kids this week. I'm going hard core to the gym too. Taking advantage of only having one job (still shooting BL right now) to jump ahead in my weight-loss goals! Getting rid of that post-pregnancy belly isn't easy!! As I'm sure so many of you can relate to!!!

Hey Ali, said it on twitter and will say it here too, you all certainly did so great. Loving the summer promo. Hope nothing breaks up Sami and Rafe, they're too good together :)
Love you Sami so much. The most exciting character ever. Love all the sides to her, and I'm falling in love with Sami and Rafe more and more each day!!!

Ali you did an amazing job during the scenes! I can't wait until Sami finds out the truth about her daughter and what Nicole did. I so hope you get to go back to awesome, cool, and bad a** Sami! And beat Nicole's behind for what she's done to you and these children! It's absolutely disgusting and dispecable what she has done! And I so hope that Sami let's her know it and show it by punching the crap out of Nicole! And continuing to beat her behind to death! This is horrible what she has done! And she will deserve the FULL FLEDGED RATH OF SAMANTHA GENE!

And speaking of other family members, Ali it is such an awful shame, such a SHAME that they don't talk about your twin brother ERIC BRADY (Jensen Ackles). They don't mention him, they don't talk about him, they don't have you talk about him or to him, he hasn't seen his nieces and nephews...and it wasn't even here for Sami during this time, as Eric would have wanted to be! Its horrible how they are treating Sami & Eric! They are twins, and he should be here or mentioned at least! Eric loves Sami so much! And Sami loves her twin brother Eric! It's a shame that he's not here! (I loved you & Jensen's twin sibling chemistry it was awesome!) I so miss twins Eric & Samantha! It's horrible that they don't let Sami & Eric even have a phone conversation to check up on each other and Sami's children, or just to say hello, at least! So sad and such a shame!

Ali when is Sami's twin brother going to come back? He should be here!!

You should be so proud of your work Alison! You are just amazing!! And I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE EJAMI!! You & James are just so awesome and captivating together, I've never seen a soap couple or actors like the two of you in a very long time! I've loved you two since DAY ONE! And ONCE AGAIN...you two just knocked it out of the park, during the Grace scenes and her death! I can't wait until you two find out about your daughter and what Nicole has done to you both and your child. I hope Sami & EJ make Nicole's life a living hell when they find out!
~Karen~ EJAMI 4EVER!!

Hi Alison.
I'm also really excited about "Carly" coming back to the show. I enjoyed watching her back in "the old Days"! lol
Btw I'm all about SAFE.
I LOVE SAFE....!!!
The chemistry you and Galen have as SAFE is incredible. And I've watched DOOL for many years...too many. Still there yet hasn't beem a couple that warms my heart, makes me laugh, makes me wanna see more and miss them when they are not on.
Hope whatever happens in the future that the writers still keep SAFE a couple in love, and keep them so playful and fun and loving!!
I admire you also for having two children and two jobs and it seems like you're giving 100% everywhere. I like that. You're so passionate about everything. About life!! That's a great role model right there!!!

Ali, have a nice summer break, you truly deserve it, seems like you've been a superwoman this last months.
I must be one of the minority but I prefer watching Sami and Nicole together the most - as friends/enemies, frenemies maybe? - more than anything else. Cat fight When Sami and Nicole scheme together. What a unbreakable team. Nothing is as funny as that.
However, Rafe is the man I prefer with Sami. Sami looks so happy, she glows around him. Feel like watching I'm watching a genuine couple falling in love. I know all about shows past and history and it's nice to see Days caring about it at times, because sometimes it seems like they have totally forgotten all about most of the charaters' history. Which saddens me, because it should be about us loyal fans that have watched for years. I also hope Safe being the newest couple WONT eventually be in their disadvantage, because their fanbase is continuly growing and we are crazy about them. It's a relationship that simply works.
I love Lucas as Sami's friend, I have watched them from the start. But I prefer them as friends than lovers, they're more relaxed and fun when Lucas gives her relationship advice and so on.
And Ej works great as an enemy!!

Ali thank you for taking the time to blog and twitter. Many of us enjoy reading your commentary on taping the show, working with Galen and the fun you have with some of the other cast. I am a Sami fan and a Safe fan. I love how you have been playing a Sami who is consciously trying to make 'better' decisions because of the impact of Witness Protection and now because of Grace. You and Galen were very convincing as the desperately worried and then grieving parents. It was all played out so thoughtfully even all the non-verbal tiny actions were just so appropriate and added conviction to the scenes e.g putting your heads together etc I don't know why but we know that it does help when under pressure like that to make that head to head contact with the closest person to you...that's what I mean - you and Galen are so great in all scenes together because you always play the non verbal nuances too, holding each other’s clothing when you are in the scenes, it's adorable ;-), believe me none of that non-verbal stuff is is wasted or seen as just extra filler we Safe fans notice and appreciate all of that stuff too - so keep it coming and ensure the camera is on all of that hand holding and stroking you too seem to do be doing in most of your scenes. We love watching it. Lol!. Anyway I hope we are on track for some Safe fun scenes along with the inevitable angst and drama as Grace's death passes and Sami finding out about Sydney and all the drama that will bring for Safe - no doubt some more opportunity for you to play out some great scenes. I hope they keep Sami and Rafe together - so happy that she has someone to love who seems to really love her too. We know that is why Sami has done all the crazy stuff in the past - she just wants some to love her and only her and you've always demonstrated enough of that motivation in how you have played Sami in the past why we are rooting so hard for her to finally find happiness with Rafe now ;-) Hope you enjoy the rest of the break and thank you for bringing backs some good old fashion soapy love and romance to Days and our screens with your's and Galen's thoughtful portrayal of Sami and Rafe!

I have loved all your scenes over the past couple of weeks. You are an amazing actress. You are so great in all of your scenes. I love your scenes with Galen and with Bryan. I am really enjoying the Safe storylines right now, but I will always be waiting for a Lumi reunion. Sami and Lucas belong together. And Lucas should be the father of Johnny and Ali. Lumi is magic!!!

Ali, you look FANTASTIC! OMG I have never seen a young woman your age - with or with out kids that looks as great as you do. Especially in that picture of you and your husband at the latest event you went to.

WOW! Keep up the great work.

And you keep rockin it HARD CORE too on DAYS !! KEEP RALLEYIN HARD!

XOX

Hi Ali thanks for blogging. You did such a fantastic job on Days these last few weeks. I loved your scenes. I cried so much. I wish the writers would not have let baby Grace die. I loved her so much. I love your scenes with Galen and with Bryan. I will always be hoping Sami goes back to Lucas in the end. And thank you so much for mentioning Lumi fans, that was so nice of you! There are a lot of loyal fans still out there and we are waiting for a Lumi reunion. And we think Johnny and Sydney turning out to be Lucas' biological children would be the best twist to this story line ever!
Annie

Thanks for blogging Ali! Hoping for an EJ and Sami reunion once the Sydney reveal happens, and hopefully that's soon.

Karen

The baby Grace storyline was really hard to watch. So many of you did a great job and I'm sure it was hard especially for James who does not have children but that man had be sobbing so hard I couldn't see my tv lol. Ari the soon to mom did a great job too. I can't stand Nicole but Ari did a good job of making me tear up for her character too!

Though I was never a Lumi fan I love seeing Lucas and Sami as friends. It was nice to see him by her side. Hopefully one day many of us EJami fans will get that lovin' feeling back between EJ and Sami but this is classic soap 101 and this is what you get when you have two characters that are the next supercouple. I don't feel the same love for Rafe because Safe reminds me of EJole hehehe but GG is just a cutie. I loved he and Eric on Passions and I'm so happy they are on the show. I really hope many of the characters/actors get the opportunity to work with other character/actors. It makes the stories more diverse IMO.

I just hope Sami gets her grove on and turns a little grey or something. I don't want Ari to get hurt in a fight scene but man I sure would love to see a you know what whooping when Sami finds out what Nicole did to her baby.

BTW before I forget you look fantastic!!! All the hard work is paying off and you have a killer body to prove it. It keeps the rest of us that are trying to maintain or get to a certain level some encouragement. I love the fact that as a host with BL you are working out too. It just shows that everyone is involved and it's not all talk. You are busting your buns like the rest of the them and that's why to me the show is so encouraging.

Keep up the great work with all of your jobs!

I love Safe. Hope they love continue growing.

Hello Ali.. I have been watching you on "Days" since you started. Days was my Mom's soap of choice and then it became mine.. and then my daughters also got infected. I always thought you did a fantastic job, but your recent story lines have really let you blossom as an actress. you were/are amazing. Keep up the great work! Not only on Days, but also on Biggest loser. I know you and that show inspires so many to get healthy!~

Hi Ali!!
Yay! The LUMI FAN in me loved the scene where Lucas rushed to be with Sami, too. =) Although, I must admit, there was far too little Lucas in this whole story, there is no way that Lucas would not have been at Grace's funeral! WTH was up with that? I cannot wait until he finds out about Chloe, and hopefully Sami runs to be with him and help him through that!

Anyway, I was really impressed with the work you have done in this s/l, and I agree, Ari blew me away, too.

Enjoy your vacation, and thanks for keeping in touch with the fans so much!!

Hi Ali! I just want to tell you how much I've enjoyed you and all your co-stars in this storyline, especially James. Now I'm ready for Sami to chip away at that Dimera steel. I miss my EJami. :(

HELLO ALI!!
I enjoy your blogs a lot. I also love Sami interacting with more than 2-3 same persons. It's fun to see her have friends too. I miss Sami and Belle too. Good ol' Days!!!!
LOL.
I'm excited to see what happens to Sami and Nicole. I know they are getting along now, but when the truth comes out, that friendship will be over I'm sure.
Not any surprises there I'm sure.
I'm first and foremost Sami fan!! Have always rooted for her. Even when I maybe wasn't supposed to. But your portrayal of her is so good, One can't help but feel sympathy for Sami.
Or else I'm for SAFE ALL THE WAY!!!
Blown away and surprised that I ended up loving this couple so much. I tried not to like them. Thought Lucas and Ej - that's anough, but nobody heats my screen up as SAMI AND RAFE. LOVE SAFE!
Have a nice summer!
Love Katie!

Ali you rock!! Thanks for being so amazing to all your fans and for giving us such amazing performances!! The chemistry between you and Galen has been incredible since the beginning in the safehouse and going thru all the emotions surounding Grace's death and funeral. Just incredible performances from both of you made it so real. I look forward to the future for Sami and Rafe and for happy days ahead. You had trivia spot on todays show with how many times has Sami been married? Your answer was Sami has been married 4 times ... will Rafe be #5?? There are a lot of Safe fan who are hoping so!!

Thanks for the call out to Lumi fans. I've been watching for 20 years and though Rafe is a great character, I miss Sami and Lucas. I miss their fire and their determination to make others pay and to make each other happy. Wish we could see that explosive chemistry again. Summer is here, sparks would be nice!

Everyone has been doing such a great job lately! Sami needs to stick with Rafe!

I hope Safe stay together too.
I was never bored a second since the safe house scenes started and all up till now. And you should thing having only 2 actors in scenes together for months and months, not interacting with anyone but each other would get boring, but NOPE, loved every second of it.
I feel like Safe have every aspect of a great soap couple.
Love to hear that you enjoy working with all of your coworkers so much. Although I will always support Safe I still know my Days history and it's nice of you to give Lumi shoutout. I wish Nadia could do the same for us who still hope for a Phloe reunion.
Thanks for doing a great job. Love you, always.

Thanks again for the Blog. I agree with your pre-empting comment. I went to watch my tivoed Days and missed the last 20 minutes because of golf. Thank goodness for youtube...ha! I also agree that everyone knocked their scenes out of the park during the Baby Grace funeral. Safe scenes were good it was nice to see someone stand by Sami...although I feel it should have been Lucas. Poor Lucas, when will he find true love...someone that truly loves him? Is it bad that I am enjoying Kate torture Chloe? ma wah ha ha!
Ari was good too, I wanted to hug Nicole and rip her hair out at the same time...now that's talent. :o) But my favorite scenes were EJami. I don't know if you realize the magic you and James have together, but I can't take my eyes off the two of you. The last month of Days has gotten good. It's nice to feel like the writers have a long term plan or for that matter, a direction. The storylines were jumping around so much, I almost tuned out.
Anyway, thanks again for taking the time out of your busy schedule to blog. I'm looking forward to the new season of BL and can't wait to see what happens next on Days!

Love Sami and Rafe. GO SAFE!
You're doing so good Ali, 2 children & 2 jobs. WOW! Hands down my favorite actress.

Ali, love the blog. I already twittered what a sweetie you are. I hope EJami is giong to be together after all this, James and you share a captivating presence. I just love you both so much on screen. I'm going to Boston to meet James, but to Day of Days to meet you. I can't wait. You are an awesome actress, lady and mother!! :)
Traci

p.s. what baby weight? You look fabulous! i saw the pic of you at the Vision awards, gorgeous girl!!!

I so look forward to putting my son down for a nap and hitting my DVR for my days fix. I too use to do the old VCR crap, thank you technology for putting my favorite show at my fingertips! I've been watching since the mid-seventies (on and off, mostly on).. being a stay at home mom now (and loving it), Days saved me from daytime boredom during those early stages of fatigue and being home.

Im so happy about the new additions to Days.. I embrace all new characters along with the old and dear! Thanks for being a big part of my past, my todays and my tomorrows of a show that brings you to that "comfy spot" in life that we all need. ALL MY BEST and i'll be watching for the "fake" this week! pls, pls let me win!;o)

I had to laugh when I read your comment about setting your VCR and it maybe not working. I have to make sure it always records correctly for me or I just about cry! LOL I made my hubby get me a DVR through our cable company so no matter what it knew when to record even if the times were different. Thank heavens for modern technology!

I really enjoyed everyone's acting for the Grace storyline. I know myself and many other fans cried along with you all. Bravo! Keep up the good work!

~1days

Oh Ali, you look great! I was surprised by how quickly you look your pre-preg weight. You're just a few years older than me and I've never thought anything about your weight. You're beautiful!... even if I have screamed at the TV Sami, oh so mischievous many years ago. Anyway I hope you have a great few weeks off!! Peace

hi alie, just wanted to say that i love your portrayal of sami, she and ej are my favorites. your scenes during graces death were awsome. hope you have a fun and relaxing break.

ali you always do a great job. i can't even imagine the show without you, so please keep up the good work.
i'm looking forward to a dool sumer with sami and rafe.
love sami and rafe's relationship. and you and galen are doing a great job with it. definitely the best thing going on on days of our lives now.

Please talk to your writers the Rafe and Sami hook up is totally boring Rafe has as much personality as a earth worm. They are boring together. and why are they making Sami put up with him being such a bully. First to her son Will and now to her. I would like to say i enjoy watching but honestly it is painful to watch anymore no one is happy everyone is mad breaking up or fighting except Mel and she is becoming a favorite to a lot of fans. I watch this as an escape and now i feel i need an escape from it. I couldn't even watch the love scene with Rafe and Sami today. He treated her like crap then they have sex made Sami look needy and trashy. Who would do that? A man refuses to tell you about a woman in his past berates you for asking about her then she falls into bed with him? Just because he says that's what couples do is fight. Day's writers are lacking in all area's I could write a better soap than this junk that they are writing now. I have watched since it first started when Tom Jr. was there Please some one do something Ej and Sami could bring this soap out of its slump. But i heard your hubby feels uncomfortable that you and James have such good on screen chemistry and he and Galen are friends, I would think he would feel more strange watching his wife kiss and be fondled by a friend. but that's just me. Normally I love your acting and Sami but with Rafe you lack personality with him like you better with James. Love the way his character looks at Sami without even trying he looks like he truly loves her. GIVE US EJAMI PLEASEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

Well we at least got some SAFE again. I think Rafe is the greatest and the best one for Sami. He is not a rapist mobster and he is not a moma's boy, he is a real man. SAFE is great. Most interesting story for a long time. I personally hope they never make Sami go back with EJ. Says something for how good James is at his job, he really makes a lot of people hate EJ. Sami deserves better than EJ. I think Alice would approve of Rafe.

Love seeing the chemistry between Sami and Rafe! Good, bad, ugly or sweet it is all good with SAFE!

I love Sami and Rafe together. The baby Grace story line was so hard to watch. Everyone did a wonderful job. I actually felt sorry for Nicole...and that doesn't happen often. (twice) My daughter called and asked if I was still crying... and I was. You are absolutely right that Days is addictive. I have watch forever!!! I really hope that either EJ and Sami are over forever. I hope that Will forgives quickly.

Thanks for blogging, Ali! You are such an inspiration - I do not know how you do it all! You look *fabulous*, btw - what 'baby weight' you are talking about I have no clue, as you look great! I have always thought it was wonderful how you modeled *healthy* weight goals for your many young fans since you were a teen yourself, and now with BL you are reaching an even wider audience. Reading your twitters about working out is very motivating to me to get my ass to the gym! LOL

Meanwhile you did a wonderful incredible amazing job with the Grace S/L - it was so totally powerful and moving, it blew me away. And seeing you and James - especially that scene at the funeral home OMG - the passion and chemistry between those two characters is so intense, even when they are fighting, it's riveting!

Galen did an adequate job but honestly I thought he was not in the same league as you and James and Ari (who has also been rocking her scenes, btw). Looks like they are moving on from Safe pretty soon, and I'm glad to see it, because I find it hard to stay interested in that pair. I'm sure Galen is a lovely fellow, but I'm not seeing the chemistry. When Rafe has to share a scene with EJ and Sami, he just disappears into the woodwork. I'm excited to see all the foreshadowing of the baby-switch reveal and an EJami reconciliation - that will definitely make this fall Must See DOOL! :-D

And I will give a shout-out to SOLE, absolutely - ROFL!!! I *love* scenes with you and Ari - you guys always always entertain! Glad to hear you guys have as much fun doing it as we have watching!

Thanks again for sharing - we love you!

Hello Ali. Thank you for caring so much about your fans and blogging.
You're an inspiration to watch. Both in Biggest Loser and Days of our Lives. And I enjoy both of the shows. Real life and soap world...enjoy both. But I must admit I'm totally obsessed with Days lately. Watched it for many years and since Sami is such a central character, her havng a good storyline is really good to see.
Have to Say I love Sami and Rafe.
I think they is the best thing that has ever happened to Days of our Lives. And you and Galen Gering know how to deliver! The last scenes of Sami and Rafe with the fight and the love... It was amazing. I loved seeing Sami standing up for herself and growing up a little. It's good to see some character development.
I think it's great acting when words are not necessary to explain emotions in a scene and that's what I saw in that scene between Sami and Rafe last episode. It was such a intensity, so many emotions delivered.
Very proud of you, I must say.
I love seeing you with other actors on the show as well. I really miss Sami and Belles sister relationship. You and Ari together is always fun to watch for sure.
Much love to you, your little angels Megan and Ben and your husband Dave.
Have a nice summer Ali. You deserve this little break from work to enjoy with your family and friends.
Love Cassandra

Ali,

I hope you are enjoying your summer break with your friends and family!

Your performance through the Grace s/l the past few weeks was incredible. With all due respect,you were the one who was incredible during the hospital scenes.

James Scott and your performances during the reveal and funeral were outstanding. Angry or happy, the chemistry between Ej and Sami is like no other two characters on the show!!

I am ANXIOUSLY waiting for the explosion from the ticking baby switch bomb. I am expecting there will be a big payoff for EJ fans for having to have endured EJ being so "trusting" of Nicole all of these months, for Sami fans who are angry Nicole has been raising Sami's daughter and a HUGE payoff for EJ and Sami fans who are heartbroken that Nicole let them needlessly suffer.

Thanks!

Sami and Rafe have the best chemistry on the show. I enjoy watching them a lot.

Love Sami and Rafe. Love your Agent nicknames.

I have been watching Days of our Lives since college. I am actually 50 years old now, and so that's a long time. I have loved Sami's character from the beginning, and your work in the Grace scenes was awesome; in fact everyone did a great job. The storyline made my cry and the Ari is terrific as Nicole and I'm happy she is finally standing up to EJ. I wonder if EJ will try and keep Sydney from Sami if he finds out before she does. I have been an Ejami fan for awhile now, although right now I am not so sure, since he's (EJ) is being such a - well, do I have to say it? And SAFE seems a little too safe, although Galen did do a super job. I guess we'll have to wait and see, won't we? Sami seemed so happy with Lucas, especially since they seemed to have finally found each other after everything they had been through. Ah, but that is the soap opera world. Everyone wants a character to be happy, but conflict is the name of the game. You are my favorite actress and I do not usually get starstruck. I admire your energy and passion for life. After reading and laughing at your twitters, I can see you are a beautiful person, inside and out. Loved your appearances on Ellen, by the way - entertaining and fun.

Hi to you wonderful Alison Sweeney, I'm a big fan. Nice blog you got here. I really love Samantha, and I'm so happy that she has found a man that is so good to her and helping her being a better person.
I love the *SAFE* love story. Great writing, but even better actors to act it out.
You and Galen look HOTTTT together and the chemistry you have on the show is off charts.
Happy 4th of July!

Dear Ali, you did so amazing with this sad storyline with poor Baby Grace dying, you had my crying all the time along with you, it must have been very hard for you to shoot those scenes, kudos to all of the actors on day, you all did amazing and it's so much fun to watch days, have been watching it since 1988, and now my 12 year old daughter loves to watch it along with me and we love the Biggest Loser as well!
Have a great 4. of July, here in Canada we already had our Fireworks, on the 1. of July was Canada Day, so enjoy your long weekend and can't wait to see you again on Monday, hated that it wasn't on for a few day, by the way I am still taping every day shows with my DVD, don't have a DVR yet, so like you used to. lol... and we have also something in common, I have a 16 year old same age as your on screen son Will, isn't that funny? And he is learning to drive right now too...
Love SAFE all the way... you guys rock!!!

Sorry I forgot to add my name, the last post was from Manuela Paiwand from Toronto, Canada, by the way still hope you come sometimes up here!!!

I meant VCR instead of DVD, lol.... I am behind in the newest technology, sorry about the spelling mistakes, that's too funny!!
Manuela

Can't wait for Monday, word on the street is that all of us SAFE fans will be seeing our favorite couple this week.

Ali love all the hard work you and galen do!! You guys totally rock! great to see Sami with such a loving and caring guy like Rafe. I certainly could never see how anyone could ever want her with Ej after what he did to her (why would any woman want to be with a man capable of doing that to them, it is totally insane). Thank God for Rafe!!

What cute kids you have! Adorable! Just wanted to stop by and say how much I am enjoying the SAFE storyline. You and Galen make such a great pair on the show. Happy to see Sami gets someone who brings out the best in her. They definitely need to keep Sami away from EJ. He has hurt Sami more than enough. Everyone did such a good job on the Grace story line but seriously you and Galen did truly stand out jobs all the way through the story line.

Really enjoying you and Galen together on the screen. They are having just enough fight with just enough nice between your two characters.

I loved everyones scenes on the s/l of baby Grace dying. It was so sad and heartwrenching. Kudos to the cast who all put their heart and souls to the scenes. I hope there will be an Ejami reunion soon. I hate to say this, but although Rafe is hot, he is boring with Sami. Ejami sizzle together and Safe fizzles. If you check out most of the Days sites, you will find there is not really not much of a fan base behind Sami and Rafe. Anyway...good luck with the BL and keep up the good work on Days! We love you.

Love the couple of SAFE!! You and Galen have such great chemistry together. It is refreshing to see a couple that is in love with no hidden agendas-- fun-loving, romantic, and playful , but with real problems to solve. GO SAFE!!
Great writing and acting!!!

Ali---- I want to tell you how much I love SAFE, They are the best couple to hit DAYS in a long, long time.
You can tell how much in love they are, but yet realistic. Just enough angst to keep it interesting and fun.
Keep up the SAFE!!
You and Galen are the best together.

Ali,
SAFE ROCKS the DAYS HOUSE!!
You and Galen have the best screen chemistry and it shows. Your scenes together have been the bomb from the Grace s/l to the playfulness of Sami and Rafe. They couldn't have put together a better couple. SAFE's fan base is growing by the day!
Hope the writers keep it up and make SAFE stronger and stronger.
Keep up the good work.

NOTHING SHOULD BREAK UP SAFE. They are just too cute together. Sami finally looks happy and glowing when she is with him. Love the idea of their moving in together and sharing their lives. Please tell the writers to keep it up with this couple.
Congratulations on you and Galen being voted the best actor/actress on DAYS for 8 straight weeks!! Best couple for 8 straight weeks, also.
You guys rock.
SAFE all the way!! Keep up the good work.

I also love Safe. I'll have to disagree with the Ejami fan that said if you check most Days sites that there isn't a lot of fanbasebehind Safe, it's actually the opposite if you ask me,. very many passionate Safe supporters out here. we love them

There are plenty of us Ejami fans out here thanks. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean we don't exist.
I love the chemistry between EJ and Sami. The two of them in a scene is never boring whether they are loving or hating each other. I like them together because they are unpredictable, full of passion and zeal. They love hard and hate hard. One moment it looks like EJ is on top and winning, next minute Sami is on top and winning. Just love it! Check it out for yourself on you tube if you want. Just type in the following, ejami - pokerface, ejami - hungry eyes, ejami - hot n cold.
It's all there the manipulation, the lies, the deceit, the romance, the attraction, the sexual tension, love, war, etc etc etc.

I think Rafe's character needs some spicing up. Let's make him more interesting and turn his life up side down. I reckon they should bring Emily back from the dead. Make it she never really died. Oh Emily, the love of Rafe's life!
By doing this it would kill two birds with one stone. While I like Rafe's character I do not like him with our fiery Sami. Where's our dear girl gone?
One comment I read recently about safe stated they were the "All American Couple." My response to that is if that is your idea of an all american couple I feel sorry for you and I'm glad I don't live there. They are boring together. I like couples with a bit more spunk.

Funny Rafe fans always bring up the rape yet Sami forgave EJ and even slept with him again how do you think Sydney got here. EJ loves Sami for who she is not like Rafe who wants to change her into what he wants. How do you know Rafe is not a rapist murder mama's boy liar cheater We know nothing about him except he use to work for the FBI. So why are people throwing stone when Rafe is a bully hiding his past from the woman he suppose to love.

How can anyone say Sami looks happy she is always worried she has ticked Rafe off how can she be happy when he is hiding his past from her what does she really know about him and why in the world would she move a man into her home with her children she knows nothing about? I think the writers got in to big of a hurry to shove him in the viewers faces and most don't like him or the way he treats her. The problem with Rafe fans are they want him with Sami because they know he will be around they don't care about the relationship they like Galen he is their eye candy. he can't act he is boring to watch and listen to but they have the hots for him personally James is a whole lot hotter and clean looking but that's my taste. EJ is Champaine and Rafe is Beer and nuts in the trailer park not my type at all

And just who is running the poll that says Safe is the hottest couple Dog patch USA no way are they the hottest couple watching him act is like watching paint dry and his monotone voice makes my ears bleed and that stupid half smile he has makes him look like he is always about ready to bust out laughing not to mention his eyes oh my the man needs to get some sleep he always looks like he is ready to fall asleep.

Sorry but Rafe and Sami as a couple are just plain boring. I see the writers are trying to make them more interesting but it just not there, it ain't cutting it, it's not working! It's obvious to us viewers you and Galen are good mates. It comes across on screen so I think they should keep you as just that mates. You only have to go back and watch previous episodes to see where the chemistry is.... which couple has the passion and drama of the classic Days supercouple, yes of course it is EJ and Sami. The sexually attraction, the deniles, the flirtation, the dreaming, the stares, the misunderstandings, the passion, the romance, the dancing, the children, etc etc.... yes Ejami has it all!
While I am for EJ and Sami I would even prefer Sami to be with Lucas than Rafe that's how dull I find them together.
So I think they should get rid of Safe and bring back from the dead Rafe's supposedly dead fiancee Emily.

I have been trying to figure out why Ejami just STOPPED! For well over a year we watched their story and saw their love grow inspite of all the trials and tribulations that were in their way. Finally when they give in to it and it looks like it is going to progress whamo just stopped dead in it's tracks and I've been trying to figure out why. Some said it was the new head writer who decided to change the storyline that she was bored of the Sami, EJ and Lucas triangle but I'm wondering about a comment posted above. Someone above said they heard that your husband was uncomfortable with the chemistry you and James had together. Is this true? Is this why their storyline was axed? I hope not.
I believe both you and James are professional actors and can distinguish the line between acting/drama/fantasy and real life.

Thanks for the blog :) I love Sami's character on days you and molly (melanie) you guys are completely amazing. Im totally wrapped around the baby story line going on. I want Sami to have her baby back but I know its not happening anytime soon. I'm hoping maybe by Christmas :) any longer and ill explode. Hopefully Sami doesn't find out in like 6 years. I really want Sami and EJ to be together there chemistry is amazing. I don't like her with Raif. He is a total jerk and makes Sami look so needy. And its nice to see her as just friends with Lucas. I really thought after the whole Collen story they would be together again. They just belong together hopefully when he finds out Sydney is him and Sami's baby they get back together. Days of Our lives really needs a couple other than Bo and Hope cause there storylines are always stupid and its always the same thing hope is mad at bo about something and leaves him. And there is Marlena and John. Marlena or john gets hurt and the other one trys to save them. Where is the chemistry and romance with a married couple? Oh and I love that they finally have teenagers with a story line on the show. I'm a teenager and its always fun to see a story line with kids my age :) I agree with what you said about acting with more than just three people seeing Sami talk with Stephanie is refreshing you are family it doesn't make since for you not to talk lol. Im a big fan Iv been watching the show since I was 12 and I'm 17 so that's a long time to me. keep up the great work :)
