Here Comes Trouble! Whom Do You Root For On Days of our Lives?

Days of our Lives boasts a town with more than its share of troublemakers. Some are more mean-spirited – and homicidal – than others. All believe they have perfectly good reasons for their actions. But which one do you root for the most? How almost 4,000 fans voted:

Days of our Lives Polling: Almost There

Nearly half of you, 49%, voted with Salem’s longtime bad girl, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney). Whether she’s trying to sell her baby sister, stealing her sister’s man, lying about her babies’ paternity, dressing up as a dude named Stan, or trying to win custody of her grandson, Sami has a knack for making viewers see her side of things. You don’t have to agree with her. But you admit she has spunk. Even if you hate spunk.

The Next Generation

One of Sami’s favorite sparring partners is Gabi (Camila Banus). She hates that the little troublemaker is her granddaughter’s mother. That’s only one of the reasons why 33% of the audience roots for Gabi. Sure, she’s done some rotten stuff. But she’s also been to jail more times than many others… with much longer rap sheets.

Kill Or Be Killed

Like, oh, say, Kristen (Stacy Haiduk). Kristen thinks it’s so unfair that she has to sit in prison, away from her love, Brady (Eric Martsolf), and their daughter, Rachel, just because she stabbed an old man in the chest. He had it coming. And 15% of the fans agree with her.

New In Town

Paulina (Jackée Harry) has only been in town for a few days, but she already earned 3% of the vote. Maybe it’s because she feels no qualms about sharing her opinions – loudly – with whoever has the misfortune of stepping into her sightline.

You often wish you could just lecture Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes), so you are sympathetic to Paulina doing it. Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
