Fans have another exciting young couple to root for on Days of our Lives now that Ari and Liam have made things official. However, there is a dangerous element to the new couple, thanks to Liam’s bad-boy side, which happens to be what Ari likes about him.
Key Takeaways
- Sparks have been flying between Liam and Ari.
- Ari can’t fight her attraction to his dangerous side.
- Why these two are a reminder of a DAYS supercouple.
The Latest DAYS Couple Brings Drama and Intrigue
From the second Liam (Hank Northrop) and Ari (then Marissa Reyes) met, the chemistry was off the charts. It kicked off a classic soap story of a good girl meets a bad boy.
When Ari helped Liam after he was shot, it only deepened their connection, with the sparks flying even more. Their love story was blooming when a casting change threatened to blow up the burgeoning romance.
Instead, the new Ari (Vico Escorcia) has been on fire and honestly has made Ari more attracted to Liam. Thanks to a meddling Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), who isn’t thrilled with her daughter’s choice in men, Ari was pushed further toward Liam and made her move.
Despite Liam’s initial resistance, Ari wore him down, and they shared their first kiss. Making them a couple puts Ari in danger. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) still has his hooks in Liam, and at some point, Liam will be doing EJ’s dirty work.
The danger looms, but Ari isn’t thinking about the implications of that. Ari’s intrigued by the bad boy and won’t let anyone stand in her way of him. She’s proving that she isn’t the good girl that many think, just because she’s a Horton and Hernandez.
Not everyone will agree with this, but the Liam and Ari dynamic reminds us of Bo (Peter Reckell) and Hope (Kristian Alfonso) back in the day. Hope was determined to be with bad boy Bo, even though everyone told her not to.
We aren’t saying they are the same as the iconic super couple, but Ari, Liam, and danger, there’s something intriguing and nostalgic about it.
Ari and Liam being the next dangerous duo that DAYS’ fans can root for was not on our 2026 bingo card, but here we are. What do you think about Liam and Ari?
