5. Aiden Tries To Kill Hope

When Aiden originally rolled into town, he seemed like the perfect guy to help Hope get over Bo. He courted her appropriately, they fell in love, and it seemed like Hope was finally going to get the fairy tale ending she so deserved. Except, Aiden wasn’t the prince charming she or anyone else thought him to be. After their wedding in November 2015, which coincidentally coincided with Salem’s bicentennial, Hope thought she would be treated to a romantic wedding night. Turns out, Aiden was hired by Stefano to strangle her. Nothing says betrayal like your new hubby trying to kill you. Thankfully, Bo saved the day (or night) and Aiden ended up getting the ax.

4. Sami Sleeps With EJ

While she’s somewhat a heroine on Days now, Sami has a long list of betraying loved ones, especially when it comes to affairs. However, the one that hits this list is an infidelity that happened in late 2011. When little Johnny went missing, Sami hightailed it to the DiMera mansion, thinking E.J. was behind the kidnapping. Upon seeing a news clip that the child has passed away, the grief-stricken parents make love — which may or may not be understandable considering the history these two had at the time. The bigger issue? Sami was very much in love with Rafe (or so she thought) and married to him. Once the affair surfaced, Sami and Rafe separated. Who could blame Hernandez? It was hard for Sami to justify an affair with a man she apparently ‘hated.’

3. Nicole’s Baby Swap

This betrayal was a double whammy, as it meant betraying a lover, a teen and a frenemy. In 2008, both Sami and Nicole found out that they were expecting. Great news, right? More like awkward news because the father in both cases was EJ DiMera! What’s sadder is that EJ had no clue that Sami was even expecting because she was in the witness protection program. Alas, EJ and Nicole were very excited about the pending baby. Sadly, Nicole lost the child and failed to inform him of this, as she was too afraid he would leave her. Instead, she goes on to fake the rest of her term and con a teen (who was actually expecting) into handing over her baby. To complicate the story even more, Nicole then switched the teens’ baby with Sami’s at the last moment. To make a long story short (too late), the aftermath of the entire story was a huge betrayal and EJ dropped Nicole like a bad habit.

2. JJ And Eve Have An Affair

Affairs happen quite a bit in the land of soaps, and Salem is no exception to this rule. Getting cheated on is a huge breach of trust, especially when it involves one’s mother and boyfriend! Such was the case when Eve Donovan and JJ Deveraux hooked up. JJ was the boyfriend of Paige, Eve’s daughter, but when mom found out about JJ’s drug-dealing past – she did all she could to split them up. Despite JJ and Eve’s hate-on for each other, one night they let their passions get the best of them and began an affair. The betrayal devastated poor Paige, and rightfully so. There is nothing worse than a boyfriend-stealing mother!

Days Of Our Lives Character Returns That Totally Underwhelmed Fans

1. Sami Sells Belle On The Black Market

Sami had some issues as a teenager that stemmed from being betrayed herself. Watching her mother, Marlena, cheat on her father with John Black was a hard pill to swallow for the teen. The incident created a toxic domino effect when it came to Sami’s mental health. She became bulimic and was infatuated with her sister Carrie’s boyfriend. She tried everything she could to break them up, including that time Sami kidnapped her baby sister, Belle, and tried to sell her on the black market. Yikes! Belle ended up being the love child of Marlena and John’s affair, and a jealous and bitter Sami could not bear having the baby around. The good news is, John saved Belle on Christmas Eve… and they are now a loving family. Guess all is well, that ends well!
