On the November, 11, 2025 episode of Days of Our Lives, longtime fan favorite Alison Sweeney returned to Salem as Sami Brady, and she had surprising and unexpected news to share with her family.
At the Brady pub, Sami’s plans to visit her father, Roman (Josh Taylor), took an unexpected turn when she ran into her ex-husband, Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo). Lucas, who recently kidnapped Sami and framed her other ex-husband E.J. during a past storyline, apologized for his actions. Sami explained that they could never be best friends again, but she forgives him. During their conversation Lucas noticed the engagement ring on her finger and wished her happiness.
Later, Sami visits another ex-husband, E.J. DiMera (Dan Feuerriegel). During their tense reunion, Sami revealed she’s engaged to a man named Dante Vitali, prompting E.J. to exclaim, “Are you out of your bloody mind?”
Sami was taken aback by his reaction. E.J. explained that she should have expected a strong response when announcing “you’re getting engaged to a Vitali,” he said. “Their mobsters for God sake.”
Sami defended her fiancé insisting that Dante has “no part in that” side of the family. She explained how “His family stays in Italy,” and shared that Dante “doesn’t know anything about his cousins that stay in Pennsylvania.”
E.J. reminded his ex-wife of the ties the Vitali have to her family, “do I need to remind you that Ava Vitali’s son raped your daughter.” Sami counters that “Dante has nothing to do with that or Ava and he hasn’t even met her.”
EJ believes that Sami is doing the stunt to prove that she has “moved on” from their relationship but Sami explains to him that when “Dante gave me this ring you were the furthest thing from my mind. Don’t look now, your jealousy is showing.”
When E.J. ask Sami about the wedding date, Sami admitted they haven’t set a date yet. Smirking E.J. replies, Ten to one you don’t make it down the aisle.”
