Sami Brady is one of the most popular characters to ever appear on “Days of Our Lives.”
Sami, played by actressAlison Sweeney, is the daughter of Dr Marlena Evans and Roman Brady.
She was also previously married to Rafe Hernandez.
However, the love of Sami’s life has been EJ DiMera.
Sadly, things have not been easy for Sami and EJ over the years.
EJ had moved in across the hall from Sami, and the two often met up.
The couple’s rocky relationship didn’t slow from there.
Sami eventually agreed to marry EJ to end Stefano’s vendetta against the Brady family.
However, the wedding was interrupted when Sami and Lucas' son Will shot EJ at the altar.
Lucas took the blame for the crime and ended up in prison.
Of course, things didn’t get easier for the duo.
They formed a solid bond and even fell in love, according toShe Knows Soaps.
EJ went as far as to cut ties with his father Stefano.
However, that wasn’t the case.
Once Lucas Horton was released from prison, Sami found herself back in his arms.
The two got back together, leaving EJ heartbroken.
Of course, he didn’t stay single for very long.
He began a romance with Nicole Walker and returned to working with his father.
Nicole then devised a plan to steal Sami’s baby.
Once the baby swap was revealed, the drama got even more intense.
EJ later brought Sydney home to make himself look like a hero and win Sami back.
His plan worked and Sami and EJ grew close yet again, perShe Knows Soaps.
They even planned another wedding.
However, Sami continued to have feelings for Rafe, who eventually outed EJ’s scheme.
Things went from bad to worse when Sami shot EJ due to her feelings about the situation.
EJ later married Nicole and the two fought Sami for custody of their children.
EJ then reformed his ways again and signed over custody of his kids to Sami.
He then decided to run against Abe Carver for mayor.
Sami and EJ later reconnected.
This time they stayed together through many ups and downs.
However, all that changed while Sami and EJ were planning yet another wedding.
While engaged to Sami, EJ began having an affair with Abigail Deveraux (then Kate Mansi).
Sami found out about the affair, and immediately looked to get revenge.
She and EJ married and just moments after saying their vows, she had him arrested for tax evasion.
However, EJ was in a financial crisis because of Sami’s revenge scheme.
This led him to get into shady business dealings with Clyde Weston.
EJ’s partnership with Clyde eventually caused him to get shot and killed.
Sami was devastated and opted to leave Salem to mourn her late husband (viaShe Knows Soaps).
Of course, no one is ever really dead in Salem.
After EJ’s death, his sister Kristen Dimera injected him with Dr. Rolf’s resurrection serum.
She took him to Rome for treatment and saved his life.
In 2021, Sami and EJ (now played by Dan Feuerriegel) returned to Salem.
Their marriage was in crisis, and they two split after Sami cheated on EJ with Lucas.
Sami eventually left Salem with Lucas, while EJ began to dive back into the DiMera business.
There’s no telling how Sami and EJ’s story will end.
However, fans have loved the wild ride that has been their romance over the years.
