They were : Ronit Arnoff ( October 19, 1984 ), Lauren Ann Bundy ( October 22, 1984 to April 10, 1985 ), Jessica Davis ( December 6, 1985 to May 20, 1986 ), Tiffany Nicole Palma ( August 7 to September 9, 1986 ), Ashleigh Blair Sterling ( December 24, 1986 to June 5, 1990 ) and Christina Wagoner ( August 10, 1990 to June 22, 1992 ). In January 1993, Alison Sweeney took over the role of Sami as a teenager. This was not her first role on the show ; she had previously portrayed Adrienne Johnson as a child in 1987. Sweeney has cited Deidre Hall ( Marlena ), Drake Hogestyn ( John ) and Wayne Northrop ( Roman ) as influences on her career playing the role, stating : `` I learned so many lessons from them ''. Sweeney has said `` I remember my first day at work. I was so excited to be a part of a show that I 'd been a fan of ''. The actress also recalled her audition, and said `` My first two weeks on the show I was sneaking around Salem, so there were n't a lot of lines to memorize. My first scene was with Wayne Northrop ( then - Roman Brady ), who pulled a gun on me and said something like ' Freeze or I 'll shoot ! ' '' Sweeney 's 20 - year anniversary in the role arrived in early 2013. Fans speculated that she might depart from the series, but Sweeney managed to ink a new deal with the show. She said, `` I am super-excited to stay, and I am so honored that they asked me to stay. The job continues to surprise and challenge me. I have already shot my 20th anniversary episode, which airs on January 6, so I had this huge milestone and it 's been such an amazing journey. I love my job, I love the people I work with and I love Sami. '' In January 2014, Sweeney announced she will quit the series after 21 years. She revealed on The Ellen DeGeneres Show, `` I 've been on Days of Our Lives for 21 years. I 'm celebrating my 21st year and I decided that it 's going to be my last year with the show, '' Sweeney announced. `` I 've been on Days of Our Lives since I was 16 - years - old, and I have never had more than a two - week vacation in that whole time. It 's awesome. I love Sami, I love Salem, I love my job, I love daytime, I love the fans -- I love everything about it. '' Sweeney 's final episode aired October 30, 2014. On April 26, 2015, Sweeney announced that she will be returning to Days of Our Lives to be part of the soap 's 50th anniversary celebration, starting on October 12, 2015 and ending on November 17, 2015. In April 2017, it was revealed that Sweeney would return to the serial, for an `` extended visit '' ; Sweeney confirmed she would film during May and June 2017. Sweeney began making appearances on October 13, 2017. Sweeney wrapped her stint on December 14, 2017. Character development Characterization Since Sweeney has stepped into the role, Sami has been showcased as the series ' primary troublemaker and `` the girl you loved to hate '' through her lying and scheming. In recent years, Sweeney has established herself as a leading heroine, with the show centering on the popular and controversial relationships between Sami and her love interests Austin Reed ( Patrick Muldoon & Austin Peck ), Franco Kelly ( Victor Alfieri ), Brandon Walker ( Matt Cedeno ), Lucas Roberts ( Bryan Dattilo ), EJ DiMera ( James Scott ), and Rafe Hernandez ( Galen Gering ). Originally characterized as the iron - willed daughter of Dr. Marlena Evans, Sami was transformed by writer James E. Reilly in the summer of 1994, converting the character from a stubborn moody teenager to a `` conniving bitch '', having her kidnap her baby sister, Belle and break up supercouple Carrie Brady and Austin Reed, including blackmail Nicole Walker and Lexie Carver on numerous incidents. However, as ratings declined in the mid-2000s, Sami 's storylines proved to be `` worn out '' and in 2006, new Days head writers Hogan Sheffer and Meg Kelly converted to the character to a heroine by pairing her with EJ DiMera and later Rafe Hernandez. Recently, in 2013 head writers Christopher Whitesell and Gary Tomlin turned Sami back into a scheming vixen. With her son Will being tormented by Nick Fallon and her fiancé, EJ DiMera sleeping with Abigail Deveraux, Sami returned to her evil ways and culminated in her committing crimes such as planning a vengeful revenge towards Abby and EJ for their affair and convincing Adrienne that her husband, Justin the father in law of her son, Will, was having an affair. The character has been described as `` vindictive '' ; a writer from the American newspaper Asbury Park Press wrote that : `` she 's so bad, she 's good ''. According to Austin American - Statesman in 1996, Sweeney had talked about `` longing to play a conniving troublemaker '' and she got her wish and more. Sweeney stated : `` It 's kind of funny that I said that ( sic ) I had no idea that ( the writers ) would take me literally ''. Sweeney has said to have given a new word to `` manipulative '' during her portrayal of Sami. In 2005, Sami manipulatively created a male alter ego, Stan. During this period of time, from February to August, Dan Wells took over the role. Sami is known for her rivalry with Nicole Walker ( Arianne Zucker ) and Sweeney has said that Sami has never had `` female friends ''. Relationships Alison Sweeney ( pictured ) said that she has enjoyed watching Sami grow and change. Sami is known for her relationships, and many `` failed trips to the altar ''. Janet Di Lauro of About.com said `` No matter, Sami 's always been a character who 's fun to watch and root for as she 's searched for her soul mate, time and time again. '' As a teenager, she developed a crush on Austin Reed ( Austin Peck ), but was `` devastated '' when he began dating her sister Carrie Brady ( Christie Clark ). She worked with Austin 's brother Lucas to break up the couple. She ended up having a one night stand with Lucas in early 1995. Di Lauro said Sami 's most `` diabolical plot '' was drugging Austin to have sex with her, which was `` the start of an elaborate scheme '' where she ended up pregnant and named Austin as the father, although Lucas was the actual father. The truth was eventually revealed and Austin, after nearly marrying Sami without loving her, reunited with Carrie. A bitter custody battle ensued between Lucas and Sami, who had a `` love / hate '' relationship over the years. Of the pairing, Sweeney said `` their past is such a deep relationship and ultimately a friendship and a trust that they have with each other. '' They ended up marrying, but it was `` permanently ended '' when EJ DiMera ( James Scott ) entered the picture. EJ, the son of longtime crime boss Stefano DiMera ( Joseph Mascolo ), developed an obsession with Sami, and ended up controversially `` raping '' her. Sami became pregnant and gave birth to twins ; her daughter 's father is Lucas, and son 's paternity belonged to EJ. EJ had asked Sami for sex to save Lucas ' life, while he was trapped and nearly died. This led to a sham wedding between EJ and Sami, in exchange for the DiMeras ending the fifty - year family feud between the Brady family. Although she initially hated him, the couple ended up in a `` night of passion '' resulting in another pregnancy. Of whether EJ or Lucas was Sami 's `` true love, '' Sweeney said `` I personally think Sami and Lucas truly love each other, but obviously a lot has gone on between them that has pushed them apart. Right now, they are writing Sami more focusing on EJ. '' She also said that she enjoyed working with Scott, and called him `` enchanting. '' Of working with Dattilo, Sweeney said `` I am definitely a long - standing Lumi fan and I miss working with Bryan every day. He is so fun ! I was in a scene the other day and looking around, like he and I have such a history together, for some inside joke and he was n't on the set. It 's just strange when I do n't get to work with him all the time. '' `` 16 years later, I think Sami had been through a lot of crazy stuff, to say the least. I would love to see her in new and different scenes. '' -- Sweeney on Sami 's storylines ( 2008 ) TV Guide 's Nelson Branco named Lucas and Sami one of soap 's greatest supercouples, and said `` For years all this couple could think of was breaking up Austin and Carrie, until one magical day, partners - in - crime and cohorts Sami and Lucas realized they were in love with each other ! Now as Days ' reigning super couple, they face the evil wrath of EJ and his family, The DiMeras. Will Sami marry EJ, the man who raped her to end this family feud forever -- and will Lucas be able to forgive her ? '' Despite this, the couple divorced and despite minor reunions since, have n't been a couple. James Scott said `` They 're not really re-visiting it. They have never done it. I think it 's about time, frankly. There is a good opportunity for story there. Alison Sweeney ( Sami ) and I work very well together. It 's sort of a fairy tale. They do n't play it so much now, but the Bradys and the DiMeras have a history. '' Scott also noted that EJ and Sami `` love each other '' but not necessarily in a romantic way. On - Air On - Soaps said `` legions of fans are waiting for their beloved EJami duo to finally start a full - blown romance... something that has been teased, and teased, and teased for years. '' He romances with Lucas and EJ have been popular with viewers, who call the pairings ' Lumi ' and ' Ejami. ' Upon Lucas ' return to Days of our Lives in 2012, a poll ran by Soap Opera Digest revealed that majority of fans wanted Lucas and Sami back together. While in the Witness Protection Program while pregnant with her second child with EJ, Sami fell in love with her body guard Rafe. When asked who out of Lucas, EJ or Rafe should be with Sami, Sweeney said `` You ca n't ask that, '' because `` that is one topic I am now scared to talk about because you say one thing and the fans get all kinds of crazy on you. '' She said that it 's so interesting to see how Sami has `` grown and changed '' and feels that the `` relationship with Rafe is definitely a different one from the way she 's been in the past. '' Fans refer to Sami and Rafe as ' Safe '. Sweeney said that it 's been fun getting `` to know Galen '' and said `` We have fun working together, and it 's nice. It 's a new, different storyline for Sami. '' Children Sami is mother to four children : Will Horton, Johnny DiMera, Allie Horton, Sydney DiMera, and believed that Grace Brady was her daughter as well. Grace had been switched at birth with Sydney. Grace has since died and Sydney returned to Sami to raise. Janet Di Lauro of About.com said, `` While Sami would n't exactly be called lucky at love, let 's face it, most of her couplings have been wildly dysfunctional, her romances have produced four beautiful children : Will, Allie, Johnny and Sydney. '' By 2009, Will was 16 years old ; Sweeney said, `` It 's sort of overwhelming to me sometimes to realize my character has a sixteen - year - old, '' considering she started working on Days of our Lives at 16, but she enjoys the dynamics between Will and Sami. In 2012, Sami and Lucas ' son Will came out as gay. While Lucas was accepting, Sami was initially `` responsible for the other point of view, '' according to Dattilo. Sweeney said that viewers can expect Sami to `` have a traditional Sami reaction, '' because it 's `` such a vulnerable moment. '' Sweeney explained that Sami thinks it 's because of her, and `` She has to sort through all of those feelings and talk to lots of people in Salem about it. '' She added, `` Sami loves her son so much, but she just always seems to say the wrong thing. She always puts her foot in her mouth.

Sami 's best friend Jamie overhears Alan talk about being in love with Carrie, but keeps this from Sami. Frustrated by his unrequited love for Carrie, Alan rapes Sami.

Sami is convicted and sentenced to death for the murder. In the middle of her execution via injection, Lucas confesses to the murder in an attempt to save her life. Unbeknownst to Lucas, Roberto signed a false confession on his death bed which leads to a stay of execution from the governor.

Sami 's sorely compromised psychological state deteriorates to such a degree that Sami begins to work for Tony DiMera ( Thaao Penghlis ), becomes a transvestite under an assumed name, `` Stan '', and sells illicit drugs to a pain - wracked John Black, all out of a base - born, suppositious need for revenge. Attempting to redeem herself, Sami convinces Lucas that Kate had set her up ; that she was never unfaithful. The two reunite and agree to marry once again.

Rafe proposes to her while E.J. narrowly escapes death. He later wins full custody of the children and Sami marries Rafe. Johnny is diagnosed with eye cancer and she regains joint custody. After allowing Johnny and Sydney back into their mother 's life, Stefano and E.J. switch Rafe with an impostor whose face they surgically alter so he can pose as Rafe 's double.

Will is angry with his mom for being unfaithful to Rafe, and when Rafe finds out about it Sami 's marriage to Rafe ends. Lucas returns to town and Sami and Lucas reconnect. They are taken aback when Will reveals to them that he is gay. Sami initially runs out on Will, but she soon comes round to support him. Stefano is apparently murdered, and E.J. is held responsible, and Sami decides to help prove his innocence, much to Lucas 's dismay. Sami 's reunion with Lucas ends. Stefano is revealed to be alive, and E.J. is cleared for murder. Sami starts to feel torn between E.J. and Rafe. Rafe & Sami agree to give their relationship a second chance. Sami plans Gabi Hernandez ( Camila Banus ) & Nick Fallon 's ( Blake Berris ) wedding, wanting to tell E.J. her decision after the wedding. However, during the wedding, it is revealed that Nick is n't the father of Gabi 's unborn baby -- Will is. Sami is furious with Gabi, and Rafe defends his sister, insulting Will in the process. Sami is furious and breaks up with Rafe. Sami eventually tells E.J. about Rafe and her plan to leave him. E.J. forgives her, and they reunite. Nick demands Will sign away his paternal rights to the baby. When Sami, Lucas, and E.J. try to stop him, Nick reveals that he knows Will was responsible for shooting E.J. in 2007. Will signs away his rights to avoid being prosecuted, and Sami is devastated. She and E.J. team up to stop Nick 's blackmail of Will. When Stefano returns, Sami and E.J. decide to get his help to destroy evidence the police has against Will. Sami and E.J. stay together through the situation, and become engaged in April 2013. Soon after, Rafe is attacked, and ends up in a coma. Initially, the police suspect E.J., as does Sami, but she eventually realizes his innocence. The real attacker, Jensen, is revealed to be targeting Nick. He kidnaps Nick & Gabi, and ends up shooting Will when he tries to rescue Nick. Sami comes to the hospital and finds out Gabi 's baby was born ; she meets her granddaughter, Arianna Grace, for the first time. Sami visits Rafe while in the hospital, and while there, sees a man come in with a knife about to kill Rafe. Sami shoots him to protect Rafe. E.J. tries to calm her down, while Roman and the police search for the missing knife. Sami and E.J. realize the man she shot was a police officer who was working for Stefano ; the officer dies after surgery, and the knife is never recovered. Sami is arrested for murder by Roman. Once exonerated, Sami and E.J. marry, only for E.J. to be arrested for tax fraud ; Sami confronts both E.J. and Abigail Deveraux ( Kate Mansi ) for the affair the pair had behind her back, and uses her power to take DiMera Enterprises away from the DiMera family with Kate. Sami begins to forgive and re-trust EJ and they re-unite, but E.J. is shot in the Salem park, and Sami finds him just before he dies. It is October 2014, and Sami, overcome with grief, accepts a movie deal with Hollywood executives to build a story about her life, with Will penning the screenplay, and she and the children relocate to Los Angeles. When Will is fired from the movie, he goes back to Salem where, in October 2015, he is apparently murdered by Abigail 's new fiancé, Ben Weston. Sami comes back to Salem to mourn Will. Whilst in Salem she discovers that Ben 's father Clyde was the one who had gotten EJ shot, and she also finds a letter from EJ which leads her to believe EJ might be alive.

Sami escapes and she steals Stefano 's fortune. She takes the kids around Europe as she pursues clues that EJ may still be alive.
