Ali, I am so excited I found your blog. I am a big fan. I feel like I have grown up with you over the years on Days. I think we are close in age... I have a little boy too, around your sons age. Plus I am so excited that you are hosting BL. I have been wanting to go on that show for years now! Now that you are hosting it, I really really want to go, but can't find a partner that is as committed as I am to lose weight and not care what people think. All my friends are afraid to show their rolls on TV. Me too, but I look toward the end, where there would not be any left! If you can get me on that show, I would LOVE YOU! Well I already like you a whole heck of a lot... ha ha. I am so excited that you are pregnant again. I read your book and really related to a lot of what you said in it. Thanks for writing it, and keeping up with your blog. I wish I lived in NY or LA so I could come to some of your events. Come to Michigan and I will be there! I saw Brian (Lucas) at a Joann Fabric Once, he was doing autographs. I also so Drake (John) at another event once, I got to meet him on my 5 year wedding anniv and even got my picture with him. I want to meet you next. I have been watching Dool for a long time, since you were a baby (or your character was...) At least 22 years I think or more. I have heard rumors it may go of the air...? I pray it does not. I tape your show whenever I can't be home. Today my VCR screwed up, so I went online to get the update and that is how I found your blog, yay! Ok I will stop chatting your ear off. JOIN FACEBOOK and add me as a friend: Mair'ce Woodard, although my name is Marcie Woodard, LOL :) There is a Samantha Brady on facebook, but I am not sure if it is you or some fake.... Sincerely, Marcie

Wow that sounds awesome you deserve it can't wait for the biggest loser to start. :) Sarah

Hope you are enjoying the Vineyard as it is a wonderful place. You sure do deserve a bit of rest with all you do and being pregnant to boot. I enjoy your blogs and the Days Show as well as Biggest Looser. I have been a Days fan since the show started and wouldn't miss it. I remember you when you were so young and enjoy watching you grow up. You got me into watching BL too and I look forward to the new season. I also look forward to you getting back with your true love, Lucas. You both have such a strong history and I love you and Bryan together. Good luck in all you do. We will be watching and talking about you in my Days group. This is our 10th birthday today. :) Hope you can check us out at http://tv.groups.yahoo.com/group/daysofourlives3/. Big hugs to you, Dave and Ben.

I am one of your biggest fan. You are the real deal, you use your stardom for a "great cause". I am glad Ejami is still in the table. You and James give a new meaning to "Romance"...just love the chemistry from Ejami. Congratulation on your pregnancy. We hope it will be included in the EJami affair.

you are looking maaaavaaalous..dahling..the color you are wearing in that pix at the auction is amazing on you..ask the days wardrobe to put you in it more often..and sami will make nicole look all washed out lol!

Wow, I don't know how you do it all. BL, Days, charity causes and still managing being a wife and mother! I don't know where you find time for it all, but so glad that you do. I am an EJami fan for the past year - your onscreen chemistry amazes me. I look forward to watching the telethon and any of your other future endeavours. Keep up the great work. Charlane (Bluenoser)

Hey Ali,
Glad you are finally getting a little break, you deserve it! You look great, and you are so inspirational, with all that you do! I am looking forward to TBL starting, and hoping for a LUMI reunion (once Sami gets her brain back) on Days =)
Nothing compares to you and Bryan, I have loved the two of you together for so many years!! Thanks for posting, and sharing your pics, I will make sure to check out the telethon, and maybe even try to bid on the VIP tour! Take care, and thanks for all that you do!
Aimee

Great blog Ali!

I'm happy that you're getting a break. Just reading your schedule exhausts me, lol. I don't know how you do it.

I'm so excited to see the new season of TBL. It's definitely a show I catch every week.
I also can't wait to watch you and Bry on Days. It's about time for a LUMI reunion, don't you think?

Hi Ali! Thanks for posting another wonderful blog! Martha's Vineyard sounds beautiful, and looking forward to the new season of BL. Congratulations on your upcoming pregnancy for your baby girl and I wish you all the best! Sarah :)

Hey Ali. Thanks for posting again. Love the pictures. Martha's Vineyard looks beautiful and you look absolutely stunning in that red dress. I hope you enjoy your vacation- if anyone deserves it, it has to be you. I get exhausted just thinking about and even reading about your life. I'm not sure how you do it. Congratulations once again in regards to your pregnancy. I wish you a safe and healthy delivery and how fun that you will be having a girl! I love you on DOOL, especially with EJ and this season of TBL sounds interesting. I will definitely be checking it out.

I'm so glad to read that you're taking a bit of time for yourself and your family. Soak it up, Girlfriend!! Your schedule would exhaust anyone let alone a pregnant woman! I'll be watching for you on the MDA telethon and my *favorite* show (DAYS). There are a lot of us hoping they will decide to write your pregnancy into the EJAMI story line. I can't begin to express how much I love that pairing. Good luck in the coming months.

Ali
Just love hearing about your crazy life. You are my all time favorite soap actress and have been for many years. We are close in age and I have 2 kids as well. One boy one girl. I love how everything you do brings you great joy and happiness. Thanks for the great scenes with James..they keep me watching. Joelle

Hey Ali, glad you are finally getting some much needed rest, honestly girl, I don't know how you do it. I love the BL, and I can't wait for the season to start. I really hope that they will write in your pregnacy, I know it was hard hiding behind all those props. lol As much as I love the BL, I can't wait to see you back on Days. I love you and James, you two have amazing chemistry. Yes, I am a Ejami fan. lol . Anyway glad you are getting some rest finally and I can't wait for you to be back on my screen once again.xoxo

Ali you and Tom Bergeron were great at the MDA you too fighting with each othier all night was funny and the second skeech of you by the magician did was really good. :)

u finally got a vacation..i was starting to wonder if u ever had a thing called a break. good 4 u. thanx 4 blogging and can't wait for biggest loser. and if read this and get the chance please come to somewhere near vancouver, canada. there r so many wonder sights here. you can bike around the sea wall in stanley park and see the ocean and have a few stops on the way. and so much more. see where the olympics are being held in whistler/vancouver, etc. ( it's a little cold out of summer, okay a lot colder than L.A. but u can put on a jacket.) i would luv to meet u.

Ali, I can't wait for BL to start. I'm loving the EJAMI storyline too. I don't know how you do it all and with a baby on the way and one at home. I have a daughter, almost 4, and a son, almost 1. They keep me so busy. Keep up all of the great work. Thanks for blogging, and for all of your hard work, you're great!!!

Ali, It looks as though you are having a wonderful time, and you are positively glowing. Im looking forward to Biggest Loser, And ofcourse to more exciting storylines with Days.
Im a bit more traditional, as I believe Sami belong with Lucas. I just really cant buy into you loving EJ after everyting He has done to you and those you love. Anyway, I know Its up to the writers and you will be great in any direction they send you.. Best of health to you now and always..

Alison, I'm catching up on some recorded Days as I type. I would really love to know what brand of glasses you wear on the show...they are absolutely stunning.

Enjoy your time off!

don't you get sick of all these people telling you which character they think your character should be with in fantasyland? it would drive me mad. anyhow, best of luck on biggest loser. days is the bigger loser, seems like. what with all the upheaval lately i can't imagine how you guys maintain any morale whatsoever. looking forward to the new season of TBL.

Wow it's that time agian! Another season of the BL, but I'm still waiting for the season where the contestents already have health issuses....why they don't do one with people that are already to a point in their lives with major promblems and help them? (these are the one's that can't walk ect, but with proper help could get thier lives back) They could build a work out area in water to accomadate these people. I myself am one of these people. If I could get the proper training I would be able to ditch the canes that I have to use in order to walk agian, but most people in my condishion can't aford a trainer to help them , so we are left behind,crying praying for the help we need to become what we once were! There are so many people out there like myself thats its not to late (yet) that need this show to help them and show others that even if your to this stage of obesity that you can still change and get healthy agian and get your live back! Please NBC help us with disabilities get our lifes back too!

Allison, hope you are having a great summer. My 12 yr.old son is now addicted to Days. My mom got me addicted to Days when I was well just say about 30yrs ago. I have to record Days so when he gets home from school or back from his dad's we watch it together. He never misses an episode. We loves Days. I would love to see you and Bryan get back together. You two would be like the next Bo and Hope. I think Bryan is the sexiest thing alive. I would marry him in a minute. But enough about that. I was also wondering if there is any way that Days sells old episodes. I would love to have every show since day one. Just about every TV shows sells DVDs. I wish Days would. If they do or would please let me know. I would buy them all. Keep up the good work. I and my son would die if anything ever happened to Days. Thanks for your hard work. Two of your biggest fans, Teresa and Zane

Alison i hope your new mother hood days are great. I wish great change for you in days. I would and so many others want you to come out a strong new mother on the show and you be the new bo and hope....you deserve it. Sorry to bring this up on your blog. hope your days are great and hope you can spend all the time you can with your children. I'm a single mom and have adopted 2 and would not want it any other way other than a prince.

i hope you will pass on this information to whoever coordinates the nbc website where viewers are 'supposed' to be able to e-mail their opinions about a show. the way it is set up, a survey has to be completed first. problem is that after they ROB you by stealing your opinions you are not given the opportunity - as explained - to write the comment. this is a reflection on the show. i will hereby give YOU my opinion. (first, because your space is now being used, i will say that as a 31 year viewer of DOOL and three time visitor to the set I must say I have never had any negatives to say about you. WAY TO GO SAMI (and i thought it used to be JO but either i was wrong or it changed to JEAN along the way - i think anyway). Second, the main thing i wanted to say was that the writers are not maximizing the MECHANICAL character of John. This sissy voice he is using when he is supposed to be a tuff guy grates on me to where i have to turn off the tv. also, the humerous blurbs are gone - and i especially enjoyed the reactions you gave him to these - like the one where he complains about you eating all his chips - you have the most perplexing facial expressions - showing the good actress that you are. Thanks for listening as i was quite annoyed when this happened.

I see there are other comments about John so tell the Days folks for me that his voice with this new character is so stupid...the way he talks, the dielect......please bring the old John back so I don't have to hear that stupid voice and his ridiculous dialogue. He must be getting tons of complaints --enuff....old john come back!!

Ok i have been watching The Biggest loser for a while now and I love the show. I wasnt sure who to send this to so i thought who better than the host:P I think it would be a great idea to have a teenage version of the biggest loser, during the summer so it wouldnt affect school. because i am only 16 years old, and i weigh as much as some of the contestants in the first week. I have tried everything, and need to make a durastic change, and im sure that there are a lot of other teenagers out there that are in my position and want to change. Please help!!

I love that blue dress you were wearing during weigh in on the season opener. What dress was that?

Oh Tag I am so glad that I am not the only one searching for that dress! It is beautiful! If ANYONE finds out what company makes that blue dress... PLEASE email me! HaleyWoods@Hotmail.com

THANK YOU!!!

Love you on Days!!!! You're the reason I watch.

Hi Ali. Melanoma is a major problem that a lot of your fans have and I don't believe it has been covered by the writers at Day. I have watched the show for over 20 years now and was wondering if there were ever opportunities for fans to appear on the show. I am 54swm and retired so I would be available and I have acted before. I am a Baptist minister (has Sami ever talked to a Baptist minister) with different kinds of experience including writing, singing,working in a hospital, and other backrounds. Thanks for playing such a fun character.

Alison as a huge fan of yours, I've followed all of your past relations as Sami Brady on the show since forever. I feel that now Sami Brady will actually have a real chance at real true love that have no restrictions. Sami and Austin was all wrong because Austin loves Carrie. Sami and Lucas was I love you but only if you stop being that annoying person who is you all of the time type of love. Lucas never cared for Sami being Sami. Sami and Brandon was good, but wasn't enough because he slept with another woman who he could have possibly gotten prego and Sami switch the test results. Lies and deceit in love never worked for anyone to well, for the exception of Ej Wells AKA Elvis DiMera. With Sami being the Queen of lies and deceptions it is only right to introduce her to her knight in shinning armor then flip it to him being the King of lies and deceptions. I've never seen anything like this done on daytime TV before and Ej and Sami history and story is ground breaking. More than anything I would love to see Ej and Sami become the Powercouple they are meant to be. (I am speaking for myself only other Ejami fans will feel heartbroken that I am about to write this next sentence but,) I know you are prego Alison, so for now I will deal with the b/s that I'm seeing with Ej and Sami I love you, I hate you, but I love you so much that it hurts to much for us to be together right now relationship. But like James Scott pronounced on the DiMera stairs while playing Ej, "Samantha you never even given us a chance to start." Or it was something along those lines. I've been waiting all this time for Ejami, and I truly feel that Ejami is worth the wait if it is done right. I want everything out in the open when Ej and Sami finally come together as one. I feel that is the only way for them to ever be unbreakable. But anyway enough about the show, time to talk about you and how you are an amazing awesome fantastic woman. I for one being a woman myself am very proud of you. You Alison keep up the good work, mother, actress, and host of a huge network show. You are true proof that anyone can have it all if they want it enough. I bow my head to you.

i'm glad you're getting much needed r&r! congrats on the baby!! you help inspire a lot of people on the biggest loser. thank you.
(ps can you tell the writers on days to put you and bryan back together? you guys are the cutest!)

I have been watching Day's since I was about 4!! My husband's grandma watches it too..We have been really disappointed about the Sami/Lucas break up..Give me a break look at the back clip's they are meant to be together...So young with there troubles then but all through it building & building into true love.The teenager(Will) should be back too..Showing the love for his own mother & father..and maybe a little romance of his own.Sami could be the next Kate...Hee!!Oh & why don't they offer Day's as an online full episode show!!!!!! Let's bring in some new fan's & bring some old one's back!!Congrat's on the new baby!!!!I have 3 myself!! Teenager's !! Yike's!! My happy time is by myself for an hour a day after work watching Day's!!!

I want lumi so bad!! but the only reason i watch days is because of you and bryan (of course)and ej and nicole!! I think its time for a lumi reunion dont you think so too???

Ali,
Hope you are making the most of your vacation. You deserve it, and I'm sure you need it. I remember feeling really tired during the first and into the second trimesters of my pregnancies. Hope you are feeling recharged and ready to take on BL and Days. I'm a fan of both shows, but as I'm a longtime Days fan, my heart is with DOOL. I absolutely love Sami and EJ together. We need some more of that cuddling in the hospital bed vibe.
Take good care of yourself Ali, and best wishes with all your endeavors.
Sheila

Hi Ali,
Love watching you on BL. I just started watching it this season...don't know why it attracted me this time. I guess it has to do with the couples and families so it means much more. I can't wait to see next week's eposide and to see it thru the end to find out who the winner is even though I think everyone on there is a winner for trying.
As for DOOL, I've been watching it too. I can't wait for next week when they start the pregnancy storylines. I love the work that you and James put on stage. It seems so real. You two are very talented together.
Congratulations to you and your husband on having a girl. I have a 13 months and she is just a handful. Lots of drama with little girls, but it's good b/c she keeps me on my toes. They are lots of fun especially with the dress up part. I'm sure Ben is excited and will be a great brother. Take care and will catch you on your shows.

hi ali my name is michelle and i have been watching days since i was a baby with my mom and grandma. i relate to sami alot because we have the same history path. bad luck, wrong choices and terrible love triangles. i also watch you on biggest loser and i have been trying to get on the show since it started and i cant get it. i really think sami and lucas are made for each other. reminds me of me and my ex. im 23 im very heavy and would give anything to have your help in getting healthier. it might help my self esteem and depression. you are a great person and have a great spirit. if you have any ideas on how to help please let me know i really have tried everything but surgery. my email is michhen6908@gmail.com

Where is the black coat with the flower embroider from? It was aired on march 20. Thank you

i want to be on the big loser so bad
