Sami Brady: The Best Villain on Days of Our Lives

Every soap has it's villain that you love to hate but none are done quite as well as the character of Sami Brady on Days Of Our Lives. Played by Alison Sweeney, with her innocent blue eyes and blonde hair Sami appears to be the sweet girl next door but under the exterior there is a woman who will stop at nothing to get what she wants.

Even with her will of steel there is still something about Sami Brady that makes the viewer root for her and cry when she gets her heart broken. There is a vulnerability to Sami that reminds everyone of someone they know or even of themselves. Being hurt and cast aside one too many times Sami fears being up front with the people in her life because she expects rejection.

When cornered Sami not only gets mad she gets even with a vengeance. In a recent episode after discovering that she had once again been betrayed by her fiancée's mother, Kate Roberts, Sami took the gloves off once again and caused Kate the greatest of humiliation by switching a DVD that Kate was showing to potential clients for her company and instead of a corporate presentation they met Kate and her current lover in the most intimate of ways. Sami Brady never fails to get even in spades and make her fans laugh out loud in the process.

Of course, Sami's targets are not always people have brought it on by doing harm to Sami; instead they just happen to be standing in her way. Blackmailing Dr. Lexie Carver to convince Sami's half-sister Carrie that having a child with her love Austin could result in a child with a terrible illness was not one of Sami's best moments but Sami wanted Austin and the only way that would happen was to get Carrie out of her way. In the end it all came out and Sami was left alone but it did work long enough for Sami to get Austin to the alter before she dumped him there.

Walking down the aisle more times than most, Sami has yet to actually tie the knot with her many love interests. Even though Sami was fixated on her sister's husband Austin for many years Sami always seems to find herself back with Lucas, the father of her son, Will.

As a couple Sami and Lucas make sense, they are good together and good for one another but every time Sami gets close to having a happy ending with Lucas his mother Kate always finds a way to disrupt their happiness by exposing Sami's latest scheme to hang onto Lucas. Fans never give up on the belief that Sami and Lucas are meant to be and eventually they will find their way to a lifetime of happiness together.
