August 4–8, 2025: Sami Storms Back into Love Triangle That Could Break Salem!

DAYS OF OUR LIVES SPOILERS: SAMI BRADY STORMS BACK TO RECLAIM EJ AS BELLE’S ROMANCE FACES TOTAL DESTRUCTION

The hurricane has returned to Salem, and she’s got her sights set on one thing: getting EJ DiMera back from her own sister!

Salem just became ground zero for the mother of all sister showdowns! Sami Brady blew back into town like the force of nature she’s always been, and the timing couldn’t have been more explosive. Walking into the hospital to find her half-sister Belle Black professing her undying love to a EJ DiMera? Talk about a recipe for disaster!

The scene that unfolded was pure Sami Brady at her finest. Without missing a beat, she dismissed Belle with icy contempt, telling her sister she could have her “leftovers.” Ouch! But this is just the opening salvo in what’s shaping up to be an all-out war between the Brady sisters over Salem’s most dangerous DiMera.

THE EXPLOSIVE EJAMI HISTORY THAT STARTED IT ALL

Let’s be real—the relationship between EJ and Sami isn’t your typical love story. It’s a dark, twisted epic that began with trauma when EJ forced himself on Sami back in 2006, resulting in their son Johnny DiMera. Over the years, this toxic beginning evolved into one of daytime’s most passionate and controversial supercouples. We’re talking baby switches, faked deaths, public affairs, and yes—Sami literally shot EJ in the head at one point!

But here’s the thing about EJAMI: through all the schemes, betrayals, and violence, there’s an undeniable magnetic pull between them. They’re two sides of the same damaged coin, and in each other, they find someone who matches their intensity and understands their darkness.

BELLE AND EJ: A ROMANCE BUILT ON SHAKY GROUND

Belle‘s relationship with EJ developed while she was estranged from her husband Shawn-Douglas Brady. As Salem’s top lawyers, they found an intellectual connection that surprised viewers—but let’s face it, this pairing was always living on borrowed time.

The romance has already faced major tests, including being pitted against each other in court during Johnny‘s trial. Now with Sami back in the picture? This relationship is heading for a spectacular implosion. The mixed fan reception says it all—while some enjoyed the chemistry, others found it rushed and questioned why Belle would even give EJ the time of day given his history of tormenting her family.

Could EJ himself be the one to end things with Belle? There’s speculation that a “changed” and “reflective” EJ might realize his DiMera darkness will only ruin Belle‘s life. If he pushes her away as an act of noble sacrifice, it would certainly redeem him in viewers’ eyes while setting the stage for his inevitable return to Sami.

SAMI’S THERAPY REVELATION: A GAME-CHANGER FOR EJAMI?

Here’s where things get really interesting. Word is that Sami has been in therapy during her time away from Salem. This isn’t just character development—it’s a narrative game-changer! The biggest obstacle to a lasting EJAMI reunion has always been the rape that started their relationship. By establishing that Sami has been professionally processing her trauma, the writers have given themselves a way to approach a reunion from a “healthier perspective.”

But don’t expect Sami to go easy on Belle just because she’s been working on herself. Her motivation to destroy her sister’s romance is twofold: yes, there’s the pull toward EJ, but there’s also that deep-seated need to triumph over Belle that goes back to when Sami literally kidnapped her as a baby!

THE SHELLE FALLOUT: CAN THEY SURVIVE THIS MESS?

Let’s not forget the other supercouple caught in this web. Shawn and Belle‘s marriage already collapsed after he accidentally shot his father Bo Brady and spiraled into alcoholism, culminating in a one-night stand with Talia Hunter. Now Belle has turned to the worst possible rebound—her sister’s ex and her family’s enemy!

If Belle loses EJ to Sami (and let’s be honest, she probably will), could this finally push her back to Shawn? The actors themselves believe “Shelle” is endgame, but they’ll need to address Belle‘s destructive pattern of turning to dangerous men when she feels betrayed. A real reunion would require both of them to face their demons and choose each other consciously, not just as a default option.

WHAT’S NEXT: THE 60TH ANNIVERSARY SHOWDOWN

With Sami confirmed to return for John Black‘s memorial service this summer and the show’s 60th anniversary gala in November, we’ve got a clear timeline for this explosive storyline. Recent spoilers revealing that Belle and EJ will “meet secretly” followed by Belle “lashing out at EJ” suggest their romance is about to hit a major crisis point.

Under the new writing team’s “female point of view,” expect this reunion to dig deep into the emotional complexity of these relationships. This won’t be a simple “Sami‘s back, bye Belle” situation. We’re looking at a mature, painful reckoning with decades of history.

Will EJ drop Belle the second Sami crooks her finger? Will Belle finally realize she can’t compete with the epic, twisted bond of EJAMI? And what about Shawn—is he waiting in the wings to catch Belle when she falls?

One thing’s for certain: when Sami Brady wants something, she usually gets it. And right now, she wants her sister’s man. Belle better buckle up because Hurricane Sami is just getting started, and the collateral damage is going to be spectacular!
