Follow me on:

James ScottNow that the Taylor/EJ romance is over and done -- thank goodness -- EJ finds himself alone again on Days of Our Lives. Obviously, the handsome Brit can't remain a solo act for too long. But where would you like to see him turn for affection?

I always wanted Chloe with EJ. They look so gorgeous together. Would love to see scenes with Chloe and Stefano because he is a big opera fan and Chloe sings opera and classical music. That would be fun to watch.

I definitely do not want to see Sarah Brown Madison with EJ. Another GH actress with him, she would be the third one, never works.

I think EJ the only women will only truly love is SAMI. I think EJ is jealous of RAFE. There 2 passions persons. No matter how much EJ tries to forget SAMI.
He just can’t. Sami drive absolutely crazy. He really loves her.

Samatha of course Ejami have the best chemistry and she is the woman he loves the most deep down even now i know she shot him but i bet you if he won her love he would forget all about her putting that bullet in his head.

I think Nicole and EJ is a good match BUT do not really care as long as they keep him on the show – He is one of my favorite actors the show would not be the same without him!

EJ and Sami together is absolutely ridiculous. They are totally opposite in personality, physically and intellectually.

Sami acts very “trailer trash” really. I like Sami but she is not cultured at all.

There needs to be a No one because he isnt worthy choice !!
Nicole and Brady
Sami and Lucas
Chloe and Phillip
Carly and Daniel
Jen and Jack
The new person OMG save her from the “it”..
WHY does he have to be paired with anyone..???? EWW just ew

Please take Sami’s name off the list. Sami is very happily married to Rafe and that is disrespectful to have her name on a list of women for ANY man to date especially Ej.

EJ and Nicole
LUCAS and SAMI and KIDS
Rafe go away forever

(11) Lorrie says:

THANK YOU CASSIE! I totally agree.

I’ve been wondering why Sami is on the list. I mean I know the soaps in general tend to disregard marriage vows and treat it like a joke, but this site doesn’t have to be that way.

Actually, I think Sami is PERFECT for Rafe! Rafe is quiet, gentle, soft-spoken. A beautiful match to balance the pair, and help calm down hyper Sami.

I used to love Sammi with EJ when he began working on DOOL, when they had a crush on each other – great chemistry – but Sammi always says how much she loves Rafe and how she wants to be with him only, always running to him.

All she does with EJ is fight, get on each others nerves, add rape and shooting, so she might as well be with the man she loves so much. EJ and Sammi would be good together if they get along and enjoy being together. Nicole loves EJ and she is the perfect wife for him, but that never works out either.

That is why Chloe would be great with EJ, I would have loved to see him save her from Quinn with his threats, that would scare Quinn. If the writers put EJ and Chloe together we could see if we would love them together. Doesn’t hurt to try.

Lucas and Sammi were great together, but that never worked either. Rafe seems to be the only one who gets along with her and she gets along with him also, they don’t get on each others nerves, and it’s the longest marriage and relationship Sammi has ever had.

Sami and EJ have undeniable chemistry together to date! Their characters are each others true loves. They have two kids together. I can’t stop watching when those two are together. I hope these writers get it right this time. Their recent history together is the result of very bad writing. Let’s not forget that.

August 24, 2011 at 8:26 am
(14) acrea says:

EJ and Sami have undeniable chemistry to date! They also have two young children together. I would love to see them true to their characters and together. I can’t stop watching when those two are together and I quit watching when they destroyed them. Recently they are the product of really bad writing that destroyed them as characters we know and adore. Let’s not forget that. Sami and Rafe are safe and a complete snore. It is convenience and stability for Sami.

(15) Sylvia says:

E.J. is a handsome man and he need someone to complement his looks and charsima and Sami is not the one to do it. I rather see him with Chloe than Sami, that would be a good story line because it can cause Nicole and Sami to be insanily jealous of her and Chloe or another woman can love E.J. no matter what his faults maybe. If E.J. or his father leave the show then I will stop looking at the show because to me they make the show, also Vivan. Please do not put EJ with Sami, Nicole or Taylor they had there chance and turn against him.

August 25, 2011 at 12:18 pm
(16) Lorrie says:

Ah, Sylvia, you love the bad guys…I agree with your thoughts on EJ not suited to be with Sami; if anything, Sami acts more like EJ’s little bratty sister!

Honestly, Days can do without the super bad guys. Other soaps manage to have more realistic, everyday bad people and have been on much longer than Days and is a whole lot more popular–those kind of soaps are going to stay on the air forever.

Ej and Samantha best ever…..

(18) Arabella says:

EJ & SAMI!!!!!!!! EJ & SAMI!!!!! EJAMI!!!!

SAMI!!! SAMI!!! SAMI!!! EJ & SAMI Forever & Always!!!! No matter who is there or around, and treading on their life, love, and relationship & family together; and no matter what happens or has happened…doesn’t matter…it will ALWAYS be EJ & SAMI Forever & EVER & EVER & EVER!!!! They are the absolute BEST together! They’re absolutely everything!

EJ & SAMI are top notch, amazing, super-hotttt, super sexy, extremely entertaining and exciting; and know how to do romance together just by one look or one touch or even just by being in the same room together…everyone and everything else just fades away to the background and out of sight! (EJ & SAMI have a gorgeous and adorable family together! They’re children are so cute and amazing as well!) And not only those things but EJ & SAMI are also the aboslute most gorgeous & stunning couple together! And ALWAYS have been & ALWAYS will be! And no one even comes close or near to them on any avenue or in anyway and DEFINITELY not in the chemistry or acting department together!

EJ & SAMI’s chemistry together is…just WOW!!! NO ONE even comes near or close to them AT ALL on any soap. They’re chemistry, power, and great potential together is absolutely amazing and off-the-charts hott, sexy, awesome, and extremely delicious, interesting, and entertaining! (James & Alison are just absolutely amazing and stunning together! And always have been!)

(19) Arabella says:

Sami loves EJ for who he truly is, not what is portrayed with him. Sami’s love, likeness, interest, and care for EJ goes way deeper than what’s just on the outside and just what’s portrayed with him in the orders and demands of Stefano and what he expects and such. Sami loves EJ! Not EJ the DiMera with money & power, looks, and all that. And Sami doesn’t just love him just to live in a mansion, have money, and have & flaunt the DiMera name.

Sami loves the person, the man…EJ not all the outside shallow stuff or the crap that comes with Stefano and his demands and all the pressure he’s places on EJ and demands of him and how he raised EJ. Sami loves EJ the man, the person, and she knows EVERYTHING about him and knows him TRULY inside and out and she loves him for who he TRULY is but she also wants what is best for him, wants him to be him, and wants him to be his own man. She wants whats best for her man and wants him to be his own man and not settle for any less than that, because she knows he can be his own man and knows the greatness he is, can be, and can do.

EJ wants Sami to be her own woman and be her true and real self. Not fake, and not what others tell her to be and demand her to be just in order for them to be with her or like or love her and be around her. EJ makes Sami a strong, independent, real, fierce, mature, grown, and sexy WOMAN. With anyone else she’s always a super weak, immature, incredibly wrong, incredibly hypocritical, in incredible denial little girl. That’s just one of things that I love about EJ & SAMI!!! (Just one of the things…because there are PLENTY of others things that I absolutely love about the amazingness of the two of them!) But I love how EJ makes Sami a better, stronger, and more confident woman and mother when she’s with him and how much he believes in her and has so much faith and understanding in her!

August 27, 2011 at 1:06 am
(20) Arabella says:

And I love how Sami makes EJ a better man and believes in him and strives to make him a stronger and a better man, and not just another puppet and follower of his father’s orders and demands and the pressure that he puts on EJ all the time. I love the confidence & strength that EJ has when he’s with Sami [and vice-versa when she's with him!] And that is so sexy on both sides of it for him and her. It’s so incredibly sexy when a woman can inspire her man so much and when he loves her so much that it makes him want to be better a man, the way Sami does for EJ. That’s so incredibly hott & sexy!

I love how EJ & SAMI are just alike, kindred spirits, two sides of the same coin, and two peas in a pod. I have always loved that about them! And I just love and have ALWAYS loved how much, how strongly, and how deeply he loves her above anything and any other [besides their children; EJ is a great and excellent father! Love to see him with his children, he loves them all so much and would and has done anything for them and for Sami, including saving their lives on numerous occassions and even given up his own life in order to protect and save Sami and their children's lives.]

August 27, 2011 at 1:07 am
(21) Arabella says:

Sami will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be the ONE & ONLY for EJ and vice versa! EJ will ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS be the ONE & ONLY for Sami! There is no one else for either one of them! No one and nothing else matters, its just excess junk and trash in their way and in the middle of their family and their relationship. Sami is the love of EJ’s life and ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be; Sami is EJ’s true, one and only love ALWAYS has been and ALWAYS will be; Sami & their TRUE & REAL family together: their children Johnny, Allie, and Sydney. EJ even loves Will too as well and often fights to protect him as well from his father Stefano’s grasp and possible wrong thoughts. Sami is EJ’s heart, soul, fate, destiny, his everything and his world. And EJ is Sami’s one and only true love! And is etched deep into her heart and her soul!

LOVE THEM!!!!! ALWAYS!!!! EJ & SAMI!!!! EJAMI!!!! FOREVER & ALWAYS!!! No matter who or what! FOREVER EJAMI!!

(22) efpos says:

Sami and EJ are soul mates. Their yet unfinished storyline is one of the most intriguing ever written in daytime TV. NBC should recognize this and reunite this electrifying twosome.

August 28, 2011 at 8:25 pm
(23) Deb says:

Oh, geez! This is a soap opera! The fact that EJ “sydnapped” their kid and the fact that Sami shot the father of her children in the head just means they are PERFECT for one another!

EJami all the way!

Sami is truly at her most attractive when she’s paired with EJ. She is more confidant and the wardrobe department dresses her WAY better than they do when she’s with Rafe. (LOL at the “trailer trash” comment above. So true!)

And as gorgeous and hunky as EJ is (no matter with whom he is paired)…HE is at his most attractive when they write him as being totally and completely in love with his Samanther. THAT is what was missing when the writers took that unfortunate detour into EJaylor-land. BIG mistake.

I hope the writers have the guts to write the Romeo & Juliet story that has been waiting FOREVER to be written. >sigh<

(24) strail says:

I have been a devoted fan of EJ and Sami since EJ arrived in Salem. Sami has never had a man love her despite her flaws. Other men in her life say they do, but as soon as she does something they do not like they run away and turn their back on her.

EJ: I love every part of you. The good, the bad and everything in between. Selfish, conniving, generous reckless, I love it all.

Sami: So, you’re saying that nothing I could do would shock or horrify you so much that you wouldn’t want anything to do with me?
EJ: Not a thing. Samantha, I adore the bad girl in you as much as I adore the good.

What is interesting about that quote is even though EJ and Sami accept each other for their flaws, they are better people when they are together.

(25) Sheree says:

Samantha is the lady for Ej DiMera. Right from very first moment they set eyes on each other, it was like a bolt of lightening and they instantly clicked. Ej fell in love with Sami first moment he saw her, and she was totally in to him as well!! They are both passionate, and have good and bad side. Together they are perfect!! They are soul mates.

Wow. Unbelievable! lol!

(27) Dee says:

EJ and Sami are an exceptional couple. They do bad things to each other…I mean really bad things. What captures my attention is that even when EJ and Sami are in the same room, other people fade into the background, cease to exist so to speak. The passion, and heat that flows from these two is so undeniable.

What a story they have to tell if given the chance to pursue that relationship as a couple. They would truly be working towards being better people and better parents to their children!!!

(28) Susan says:

Sami, the only women he has children with and the only character that he has NEVER been allowed to be written as a couple because TPTB don’t have the guts enough to do it. AND the fact that KC has his head shoved so far up Galen Gering’s ass that he can’t see straight.

Tired of the boring and useless actor that GG is, he should return to modeling because he brings Alison WAY down and tired of Ej and Sami NEVER being given a CHANCE like every other flipping couple on this show.

Hmm wonder why your ratings are low KC? Take a look at whom you keep forcing us to watch, your favored friend whom can’t act, GG paired with someone whom he has NO chemistry with or James whom has been nominated 2 I said 2 times and has chemistry with Alison like there is no tomorrow.

Get a clue!!!

RAFE and SAMI forever, like JOHN and MARLENA.And it would be very, very nice if there was a baby. It would be nice to have one born out of LOVE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

(30) Maggie says:

I’d love to see EJ and Sami together. They have incredible chemistry and would make our TV screens sizzle. Can’t believe Days has missed the boat by not putting them together. They’re compelling to watch. Besides, they have two children. I want Ejamily.

September 5, 2011 at 11:01 am
(31) Maggie says:

EJ and Sami sizzle on screen. Their chemistry is unbelievable, and they are compelling to watch on screen. I can’t believe Days has never given them a chance. I want Ejami together with their family.

September 6, 2011 at 10:18 pm
(32) RMD says:

It’s EJ & Samantha for me too. The chemistry just leaps off the screen with these two, but more importantly there is untapped potential & unfullfilled promise I’d love to see explored. Sami is the only woman EJ has ever truly loved, she is the love of his life, she brings something out in him that no one else can. She is the mother of his children. The two of them together have something no one else can touch – it is that intangible certain something that makes you sit up & pay attention when they share the screen & everyone else does fade into the background. The Brady-DiMera love story is still waiting to be told & I’d love to see them do it. It started with Santo & Colleen and should go full circle with EJ & Sami. The idea of “Anam Cara”, of destiny is classic romance at it’s best & there is no one better than this chemistry filled pair to tell the story.

September 11, 2011 at 8:17 pm
(33) betsybee says:

RMD … You have done an excellent description fo EJ and Sami. No way could I have written such a well described analysis of the Chemistry between these two actors. As actors there is something between them that no person can stop or hold back. They just have to be in a room together and say nothing to one another. He only has to touch her on the shoulder and with those eyes of his can send her in to the next world… Tht my friends is fabulous acting and yes we need to know the complete story of the Brady-Dimera love affair !!!

EJAMI all the way !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

September 13, 2011 at 5:06 pm
(34) kate says:

EJ and Sami belong together. The chemistry is incredible, much like the chemistry between Brady and Nicole. All four characters deserve better than the lot they been dealt. Let’s get with the program, Days. EJAMI and BRICOLE!

November 29, 2011 at 6:02 pm
(35) Dmitri says:

EJOLE 4EVA!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nicole and EJ are both so bad and don’t seem to mind their flaws. Even though Sami, Taylor and their scheming have gotten in the way of their past marriages/relationships, these two are meant to be. Nicole even said that they are, just as Sami and Rafe are meant to be together. Sami shot EJ and he kidnapped her kids, took them from her and raped her as wel. Does that sound like love? Long ago, maybe Sami and EJ had something, but they expired, just as Bricole expired this summer.

It’s clear that EJole are the best ,their chemistry these past few moths are perfect, they work together for his campaign, etc. All Sami and EJ do ismake each other mad, while Rafe comforts her. All Nicole and Brady do is have sex and drink and makeout. This storyline with Sami cheating on Rafe with EJ is terrible! She and Rafe love each other so much, and Sami and EJ can’t stand one another! But Taylor OMG! She was SO UNBELIEVABLY BAD for EJ!!! Even Sami was better for him! Taylor was too fakeand pretended to be a good girl in order to change EJ; she didn’t accept him for who he is, like Nicole, or how Sami did in the past. Plus, Taylor is a boyfriend-stealer, and stole EJ from her own sister after Nicole ad EJ started to like each other! What a whore! And Nicole could accept that EJ never meant for Fay to die, but Taylor won’t forgive him? Pu-leez. However, Nicole and Philip would be interesting, though he left Salem, and a Chloe/EJ pairing would be fun too, though these couples aren’t meant to be.

January 4, 2012 at 12:42 pm
(36) Barbie says:

I was also into the storyline about Santo and Coleen and agree that EJ and Sami played the parts so well that I long to see that story line again. I am definately for seeing a lot more of
Sami and EJ. Sami and Rafe just don’t cut it at all.

March 10, 2012 at 3:22 am
(37) Nicole says:

Love Ej and Sami
Love Ej and Nicole

But really it needs to be EJ and Carrie

The man is a fertility god. He manages to get Sami pregnant any time she goes near him. Nicole who is barren gets pregnant twice.

Let Carrie have the child she has always wanted…he is the only one who will be able to do it…… and Sami will spontaneously combust at the same time.
