Days of Our Lives Polls: What About Rafe?
Okay, it’s been a little over a week so now we have some idea what Rafe Hernandez, FBI agent is all about.
We’ve seen him bicker, taunt, blink and flirt with Sami. A lot of people already suspect this will lead to romance. If so, Rafe better watch out. Whenever Sami is stuck alone in a house with a man, he seems to get her pregnant. I know she’s already knocked up, but does that matter to Salem’s most fertile blond in the land of unlikely pregnancies? So far, Rafe’s been a welcome change from the two neurotic men in Sami’s life. Personally, I only hope that he gets paired with some of the other available women in town instead. What would you like to see?

I hope that they finally put Sami with someone that she can have a (soap opera) long term relationship with, instead of having her go back and forth from EJ to Lucas.

what a dumb story line! come on, he’s protecting her but he’s acting like she’s a child. i thought they were to protect, not act like she’s the murderer. i can’t wait for this story to be over!! get her back with ej!!

Use Rafe to make EJ jealous. Sami needs someone to stay with like EJ. Come on!
Comment added November 11th, 2008 at 8:43 am
I so agree! Use Rafe to make EJ jealous, but put Rafe with someone else. Keep Sami with EJ and let Rafe and Sami actually just be friends!
Comment added November 12th, 2008 at 6:54 am
I just can’t get over EJ raping Sami at gun point. I hope that she can have a nice normal stable relationship with someone new (Maybe Rafe). But the EJ and Lucas Story lines will keep some gotta have drama in her life.

Okay so I was just reading that Sami turns up at a convent does this ring a bell Santo and Coleen.. I bet they are going to be doing a story line like that for those two

I WANT SAMI WITH EJ THE WRITERS HAVE TO HAVE MORE THAN ONE SUCCESSFUL RELATIONSHIP ON THIS SHOW ESPECIALLY WITH JOHN AND MARLENA LEAVING
Comment added December 3rd, 2008 at 12:20 pm
It all made sense today! Sami’s baby goes to the orphanage until she can figure out what to do. Nicole somehow gets Sami’s baby to raise as her and EJ’s baby. Watch for Nicole’s sick doctor to help in all of this for money!

I LIKE DAYS BETTER TODAY ,THAN I DID A FEW YEARS BACK. IM A BIG FAN OF SAMI BRADY AND THINK SHE BELONGS WITH SOMEBODY LIKE RAFE AND DON’T GET ME E.J IS COOL AND ALL ,BUT THEIR IS SO MUCH STORY THAT BE WRITTEN BETWEEN THESE TO CHARACTERS. THEIR MUCH CHEMISTRY WITH THEM, LIKE SAMI HAD WITH E.J. A CLASSIC LINE BETWEEN TO WAS (RAFE- IF YOU GROW UP AND ACT MATURE AND FOLLOW THE RULES SOMETIMES I MIGHT SHOW YOU THE PUNK SIDE OF ME SAMI- NOT A CHANCE GROW UP AND FOLLOW THE RULES NOT MY STYLE( BOY HE KNOWS HER).DAYS NEEDS TO HAVE MORE ROMANCES LIKE THIS,ACTION STORYLINES,ILLNESS,FEWER TRIANGLES, LOVE/HATE RELATIONSHIPS,AND MURDER MYSTERIES. MELANIE IS CHARACTER YOU LOVE TO HATE AND SHE IS GIVING STEPH AND CHELSEA FITS(WE NEED MORE CATFIGHTS AND MEAN IN FACE FIGHTS. LAYING ALL JOKES ASIDE WRITERS NEED TO THINK WERE GETTING RID OF JOHN AND MARLANA, WE NEED TAKE THE SHOW IN DIFFERENT AND HOPEFULLY BETTER DIRECTION, PUT SAMI WITH RAFE(THESE TO HAVE SUPERCOUPLE POTENTIAL) NICOLE WITH BRADY, STEPH WITH PHILIP, CHLOE WITH DANIEL,AND DON’T WHO NEED E.J WITH(MAKE HIM SPOILER OR A PLAYER). I STAND BY YOU RAFE AND SAMI.

Sami should keep her baby and her and Rafe should get together and raise her baby as if it is Rafe’s child after the killer is caught.

I like Ginas idea I like them together, and I hope Debbie is wrong but it does make sense

Rafe and Sami are totally sexy together!
Comment added January 7th, 2009 at 9:33 pm
No wonder everyone one on this show sleeps with everyone! All the women and men are probably all incest somehow because they always swap partners! And Rafe is too sexy and too good of a man to be with any of the other trashy women in Salem so yaw all need to hush and Days of Our lives needs to notice a good thing when its right in front of them!

For the last month or so, I have only been watching on the hopes of seeing Sami and Rafe. The other stuff is crap, but I leave it on in the background.
All I want from the writers is more fun conversations. Some bantering, a good mystery a la Jack and Jen. Sami is good for that. She may have been manipulative in the past, but it’s always been fun. I can see her and Rafe raising the kid and running into some fun situations with his work.
We need some fun, for a change.

I hope this work’s out finally for Sami
Comment added January 11th, 2009 at 2:20 pm
Just wondering what everyone here thinks about all of this. I got some of this (in a fwd.) from a friend and my thoughts are in the inside of the ****’s.
1 - Bo’s newfound psychic abilities. I don’t know where they are going with this, but I am curious to see how it will play out. It’s good to see him confide in Hope about it instead of trying to keep it a secret from her. This way they can have a story line together where they are united on trying to figure out what’s going on with him, instead of divided by it. **** I love this story line too… I also miss Celeste, Maybe she could come back even just for a while and help Bo hone his skills and help him understand them.****
2 - New couples: Max & Chelsea and Philip & Stephanie. I think these couples both have potential as the actors have great chemistry with their current pairing. I’m not too worried about Max & Chelsea, as I think they will go forward, but Philip & Stephanie have me a bit more worried. Philip is never allowed to really have a relationship. Either his wife (Belle) is really in love with someone else, or he just uses his women as dalliances. So I hope he doesn’t get distracted by Melanie and continues to heat up the screen with Stephanie. ****Phillip & Stephanie won’t last, Melanie will win Phillips heart in the end and they will end up together, they’re both schemer’s and so they’ll heat up the screen with some great action in the near future. Maybe even some adventure concerning the Bio-fuel?? Max & Chelsea have been there, done that!! Max & Stephanie will end up back together and Chelsea will fall for Rafe… Keeping Rafe in the loop. He is such a pleasure to watch and I hope the writer’s will write in a great and true friendship between Rafe and Sami.****
3 - Brady’s purpose. On a positive note, I was so happy that he didn’t go along with Nicole’s plan to fool the pregnant girl into thinking he was Nicole’s fiance’. I don’t get why he is keeping quiet about her not being pregnant in the first place, so it really wouldn’t make sense for him to blindly go along with her manipulation. However, I’m not quite sure why they brought him back. They need to give Brady his own story line and some real purpose on this show. ****I think the reason Brady is so wishy washy is because he still loves Nicole very much and knows that once EJ finds out what Nicole is doing he will drop her on her butt and Brady wants to be right there to catch Nicole when she falls. I think that this is going to take a while now that Nicole is adopting Mia’s baby, but Brady & Nicole will end up together in the long run and they will end up happy with the baby.****
4 - Missing Kate. Just like Nicole, she’s losing her edge. She hasn’t meddled in a bad way in one of her son’s love lives in long time and she’s been so nice lately. Yes, I know she’s been distracted by her cancer and she’s been welcoming to Chloe because she donated bone marrow, but I think Sami needs to come back STAT to get Kate’s blood boiling again. ****I honestly like the New Kate, but I do think that Kate & Victor should repair up and that way things could heat up again as far a
5 - Stefano’s soft side. Was anyone else confused by Stefano’s reaction to Theo’s hospitalization? He was actually weepy about it! That’s not Stefano. Of course he is all about family, but in a controlling way, not an emotional way. I felt it was pretty bizarre for him to wear his heart on his sleeve, but maybe he’s just getting sentimental in his old age. ****Sorry, but I appreciated seeing his soft side, everyone knows how much he loves his Grand-children!! I’ll bet that we see something in the near future about Theo not having Autism at all … The brain surgery will miraculously cure him. Also, I think that some time in the near future there will be a Dimera child kidnapped (One of the grands) and Stefano and EJ will have to ‘hurt’ some people (Maybe the “killer”??) to get the child back.****
6 - John and Marlena. There’s nothing really new to say about them and the fact that they are leaving. It is quickly approaching so I will comment on it more later, but the only thing I have to say right now is that their scenes just make me want them to stay. It would also give Brady something more to do if his estranged father were around so they could work on their relationship. ****I just have nothing good to say about the loss of John and Marlena!! They have always been one of my favorite couple’s and it makes me sick how there are NO “super couple’s” on the show anymore. The writer’s just can not seem to “get a clue” that some people in the world truly DO believe in “True Love”!! The last and ONLY “True couple” on this show was “Grams & Gramps”!!!! No-one ever dared mess with that couple. Thank God!!****
7 - Chloe and Daniel. Nope! Still not digging them. They are just unsettling. ****I used to like Daniel. Now, he just makes my stomach turn every time I see him. He is such a jerk… (Thanx writers!!) First Chelsea, then Kate, now Chloe?? And IN the mansion AT the engagement party!!!! How uncouth!! Only the most sick, uncaring, evil person in “Salem” would even consider doing something like that!! Oh wait… Let me remind myself… It’s DANIEL!!!!! — Sick, just sick!! And NO WAY!!! I do not want Lucas to walk in on something like that!! Why would anyone wish that on that poor man!!!!???? He gets out of Jail to go see the woman of his dreams (Sami) and finds her in bed with EJ and then you want him to walk in on Chloe and Daniel!! NO!! Let her break his heart a different way than that!! And when are the writer’s going to give HIM a good storyline anyway?? Maybe he and Chelsea?? WHO know’s?? They sure need to give the guy some happiness, he deserve’s to be happy just as much as anyone else!!****
8 - Hilda. I love her. However, I fear her time is drawing to a close. Another good character whose time was too short. I will miss her and her sharp banter with Sami! ****Oh I am SO going to miss Hilda!! I hate that they are “killing” her!! COuldn;t she just be close to dead, go into a coma or something?? She has kids for crying out loud!! And she a Sami had some awesome scene’s together!! I really was loving their blooming friendship and was so hoping that she would talk Sami out of doing anything stupid with her baby!!****
****As for thoughts about Sami & Nicole baby stuff’s: As I said earlier — I think Nicole will adopt Mia’s baby, EJ will find out about it and will drop Nicole on her butt… Brady will help her through the loss and they will get together to raise the baby as their own after Nicole realizes just how much brady does and always has loved her. — As for Sami - I really would like to see her and EJ get back together. There used to be such a great chemistry between those two and EJ really knows how to keep her in line!! And the bay she is carrying is EJ’s and they do already have a child together. EJ never has let Stefano hurt Johnny and so WHY would he allow Stefano to do anything to this new baby. I think that after he finds out about Nicole and dumps her and then finds out about Sami’s baby EJ will become SUPER/OVERLY protective of Sami and the baby and they will become the most popular Supercouple of the year!! And yes I really love the chemistry between Sami & Rafe, but I think they should just become very close friends. Maybe Sami will introduce Rafe to someone in the family so that he can continue to stay on the show as regular eye and ear candy!! Maybe Chelsea & Rafe?? Wouldn;t that stir things up in Salem??****
Shutting up. Hope I didn;t upset to many people here. Just some thoughts I had when I saw the email from a friend about the Soaps…….

I think Rafe is gonna go get grace from the convent and introduce her as his own…with sami or somthing since EJ already thinks that they were fooling around in hiding so why not it could make sense to EJ?
Comment added April 24th, 2009 at 5:04 pm
EJ & Sami suck - and, people, he RAPED her! What is this they were madly in love thing? She NEVER loved him! She gave in to him in one moment of weakness on the day Lucas came back from jail - and I even found that whole scenario ludicrous! They have NEVER belonged together. I love EJ with Nicole. Those two are perfect for each other. They deserve each other. Sami and Rafe need to be together. He is finally someone she could really have a long term love with!
Comment added June 29th, 2009 at 7:05 pm
I want Sami and Rafe to stay together. He’s the only one she could turn to for support with the custody battle under way.
Lucas is just to needy of his mommy and needs to take control of his life. I don’t think he and Sami will work out again. He does have joint custody of Will and Allie with her.
I don’t like EJ and Sami for a personal reason. He raped her and made her life a living hell by lying to her about his visa expiring and that he’ll be deported back to England. On top of it, Sami was never in love with him. EJ’s better off with Nicole.
