1. Rafe Hernandez and Sami Brady
Lovely DOOL heroine Sami Brady has had many great loves of her life. The fathers of her children, both Lucas Horton and E.J. DiMera, tend to first pop into a fan’s mind. With that said, one of the greatest love affairs to grace Salem had to have been the one between Rafe and Sami. He was originally her bodyguard while she was under the witness protection plan, but they both grew to have feelings for each other while she was stashed away from Salem. When Sami was finally released from the program, the two were able to sustain a healthy relationship, enduring affairs and E.J.’s constant meddling, as well as the everyday struggles of raising her kids (with Rafe acting as a father figure to Sami’s children). Alas, it seemed that the ultimate demise of their relationship centered around family. The conflict stemmed between Will (Sami’s son), and Gabi (Rafe’s younger sister), and all the drama that ensued around Baby Arianna’s paternity back in the day. While Sami is currently out of town and focused on E.J.’s recovery, there’s always a chance she could find herself back in Salem

at some point in time. With Rafe currently single, could a reunion between these two be on the horizon?
