On the July 29 episode of Days of our Lives, Susan went all giddy at the sight of big, strong FBI man Rafe. This could be an awesome new couple in the making. More importantly, it could be a very upsetting proposition for EJ.
Key Takeaways
- Susan’s playful interaction with Rafe sparks an unexpected romantic possibility.
- Rafe’s rocky romantic history makes him an intriguing match for Susan.
- A Susan-Rafe relationship would create endless conflict and comedy for EJ.
Rafe Wasn’t Ready for Susan’s Welcome
Susan (Stacy Haiduk) has always been a bit… eccentric. EJ (Dan Feuerriegel) puts up with as much of her “vibes and feelings” as he can, and, frankly, we’re impressed by how he respects and loves her… even when she is acting bizarre.
Susan’s latest project involved draining the evil energy from Stefano’s (Joseph Mascolo) ring. It required warm water, apparently. Who knew? But Susan was quickly distracted when Rafe (Galen Gering) showed up at the door.
He wanted to ask EJ questions about Gwen’s (Emily O’Brien) disappearance. But Susan only wanted him to kiss her hand. And maybe more.
Could Susan Break Rafe’s Romantic Curse?
Love doesn’t seem to be Rafe’s strong point, does it? His marriage to Sami (Alison Sweeney, who recently returned to DAYS) tanked. His relationship with Hope (Kristian Alfonso) petered out.
Kate (Lauren Koslow), Jordan (Chrishell Stause), Nicole (Arianne Zucker), Ava (Tamara Braun), and Jada (Elia Cantu) came and went. (The latter not really being Rafe or Jada’s fault. Rafe was kidnapped, and an imposter named Arnold took his place.)
Rafe has been on his own for years now. Maybe it’s time for that to change. And maybe Susan should be the one to change it.
Think of the Chaos EJ Would Have to Endure
Susan and Rafe might be happy together. But you know who’d be super-unhappy? EJ! And we are here for it! His mother dating his worst enemy? It would be EJ’s worst nightmare.
Think of the built-in conflict! Will Susan ask Rafe to take it easy on her baby boy? Will EJ pump his mother for details about Rafe’s cases? Will Rafe call EJ daddy? Imagine the Thanksgiving dinners! And then imagine Sami’s reaction!
