A Man Crush Monday Photo Tribute to Days of our Lives’ Finest

Days of our Lives is well known for having some of the hottest hunks in daytime. From heroes to villains and everything in between, there is something (err, someone) for everyone. Today we pay tribute to Salem’s finest of the fine.

From John Black (Drake Hogestyn) and his bestie Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) having fans carrying hot torches for decades to the DiMera men making ladies swoon, the show knows how to keep us tuning in.

We have to give credit where it’s due and honor baddies Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) and Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) for having us fall in love even after all the terrible things they did. Nothing like a good redemption story to keep the heart pumping.

With the bad also comes to the good and we can’t ignore the sizzling heat coppers Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) and Eli Grant (Lamon Archey) exude. Talk about swoon-worthy!

To honor the best of the best, we’ve compiled some of our favorite shots of some of our favorite Salem hunks. Take a look and enjoy the scenery.
