It’s time to take a look at the Days of our Lives couples that are worth watching and those the show needs to split up immediately. There are also some couples that we would like to see more of on-screen, and a few characters that the show should try pairing up.

Key Takeaways

  • Gabi and Philip are on fire again.
  • It’s time to put Sarah and Brady out of their misery.
  • Duos DAYS should try putting together.

Here’s The Couples That Are Working on DAYS

Let’s kick this off with the couples that have fans excited. There are always going to be the vets like Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), who are enjoyable to watch. Kate (Lauren Koslow) and Roman (Josh Taylor) are in that mix, too, especially as their marriage was tested over her lie. The only issue is that we don’t see enough of any of them together.

Another couple that had us excited was Shawn (Brandon Beemer) and Jada (Elia Cantu). They finally reunited but have barely been seen since. Unfortunately, that likely has to do with Cantu exiting the show.

Philip (John-Paul Lavoisier) and Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) are literally the best couple on DAYS right now. They proved that, even when they were apart, they are the real deal. Gabi and Philip’s chemistry is off the charts, as is their witty, fun banter. Give us more of them!

They are exiting the show soon, but Johnny (Carson Boatman) and Chanel (Raven Bowens) will always be a hit for us. Johnny doing shady things for EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) has only made them more interesting.

Eli (Lamon Archey) and Lani (Sal Stowers) also made the list. Much like with Jada and Shawn, though, Elani just isn’t seen that much. They need their own storyline now that they are back living in Salem.

Here’s the DAYS Couples That Need to Call It Quits

Now it’s time for the duos that are not working. It’s worth noting that this has nothing to do with the actor or actresses or their performances.

First and foremost are Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). The reality is that Brady is just a filler guy because Sarah and Xander (Paul Telfer) are endgame. Sarah doesn’t have the spark with Brady that she has with Xander. It’s time to reunite Xarah. They have been apart long enough.

Alex (Robert Scott Wilson) and Stephanie (Abigail Klein) need to be put on a break, possibly forever. They have been so miserable that the couple has become hard to watch. Stephanie and Alex don’t seem to have the best chemistry either. One fan on Reddit insisted they each have better chemistry with other people, like Chanel and Theo (Tyler Joseph Andrews).

One of Salem’s newest couples, Belle (Martha Madison) and Chad (Conner Floyd), are sadly a big miss. There was excitement surrounding them at first, but they fell flat in the sparks department.

Holly (Ashley Puzemis) and Tate (Leo Howard) are on their way out, and it’s a good thing. This teen couple was never on fire or had that it couple thing about them. Instead, they are not very interesting to watch, so losing them won’t be a huge deal for the show.

Here’s Who DAYS Needs to Get Together

Soaps love to test fan-favorite couples, and that has been happening on DAYS. As mentioned above, Xander and Sarah have been apart long enough.

There are also Abe (James Reynolds) and Paulina (Jackée Harry), whom we would like to see back together. However, considering everything that happened with Lexie (Nikki Crawford), Paulina likely won’t be running back into Abe’s arms anytime soon.

EJ and Cat (AnnaLynne McCord) have us rooting for them. Granted, the relationship was built on a lie, but there’s something about them together that’s enticing. Plus, EJ needs a woman who isn’t a member of the Brady family.

On Reddit, fans had a couple of suggestions for new couples, and honestly, they are excellent ideas. Brady and Gwen (Emily O’Brien) got a lot of fans buzzing. Several were for it, even insisting that Gwen was the perfect woman for Brady. We have to agree the idea of Gwen and Brady is very intriguing.

Another pairing in the same thread that fans were here for was Stephanie and Theo. These two have had sparks flying for a long time, and their recent near-kiss showed that something is brewing.
