James Scott made something of an impression on daytime soap audiences when he appeared as Ethan Cambias on ABC’s All My Children for two years starting in 2004. However, Days Of Our Lives knew a good thing when they saw their opportunity and, within a few months of Scott’s AMC departure, Days snatched the actor for the role of dashing – and often dastardly – EJ Wells. With four years under his belt on DAYS, there’s no sign of disinterest from Days fans and Scott is as popular as ever. In fact, with my recent interview postings of cast mates Galen Gering and Eric Martsolf, it was James Scott who hands down has been the most requested as the next interview I feature. (Do I listen to my fans or what?)

Before we get to my chat with James, I want to make sure you know there are two upcoming chances for YOU to hang out with the stars of Days. The first will be happening right here in Los Angeles this weekend (June 5th to be exact). The day will feature many of the stars from Days of Our Lives and benefits The Leukemia and Lymphoma Society. For more details visit www.dayscharityevents.com.

Then on the East Coast next month you get another chance in Greenville, SC on July 23-24th. The Days Into Night Charity Event benefits a local non-profit organization Taylors Youth Association which teaches children sportsmanship, team work and physical fitness through organized sports. Scheduled to appear are Nadia Bjorlin, Eric Martsolf, Galen Gering, Shawn Christian, James Scott and Mark Hapka. For more details visit www.daysintonight.com.

Now…let’s go talk to James Scott!

During my recent visit to the Days set in Burbank, I sat down with Scott after he’d finished a long day of filming but he still managed to be as friendly and charming as possible and, yeah, he looked pretty damn good, too. During our chat, Scott talked about how soaps are perceived in his native UK, working with stars Alison Sweeney and Gering, how gay-related storylines are perceived on UK television as well as what else he would be doing (and where he’d be doing it) if he were not acting.
