Lumi was the supercouple for a good portion of DAYS in the 2000s, before the advent of E.J. and it was one of the only good things about the show at that time. I understand why they went with her and James Scott, but the pairing was compromised by a rape which was unacceptable even then. A sane show would've played the Lucas/Sami/E.J. triangle in a more sensible way for years and years and years to come. Excising Lucas was foolish. And if they don't have Scott now, I know Ron loves to reunite supercouples even with people offscreen, but if Ali is hanging around then they need to make choices.

 

All of this!

i feel like the only guy Sami ever belonged with was Brandon. Lucas was too much of a mama's boy punk, for me to really root for them. I didn't like EJ. And I hated Rafe and Austin. LOL 

They really f'd up Brandon & Sami by essentially turning him into an Austin clone.  Up until the time they actually got together, they were really good.  Well, his character already became really watered down when Tom Langan inexplicably moved Brandon & Greta out of the Austin & Sami and into the Jack & Jenn quad.

 

Watching this show for 20 years, Lumi are endgame.  I honestly think I can objectively say nothing else makes sense given the history (and chemistry).

Brandon/Sami were great; he really understood her. But agree they squandered that. Still, if they were able to convince Matt Cedeno to return to daytime, I'd ship a Brandon/Sami/Lucas retread. 

 

P.S. Remember during Reilly 2.0 mania when Kate had black female Eugenia wear a "Brandon mask" (just as Kristen wore a Nicole mask last year) to set up Sami to make it look like she and Brandon slept together to break up Sami & Lucas? Oy, goofy times...

omg yes lolol.  Iirc, we didn’t ever get that Lumi wedding bc Sami got exposed the night before.  This is probably what set her down the Stan warpath.  No matter what happens, the show can never be as bad as Reilly Round II.  I THINK!  Lol

I'd settle for Lucas, but really, I don't believe there exists a man who could be paired successfully with the likes of Sami.

OMG! I remember that, I did find it odd the show didn’t even bother to keep Brandon around at all after all the trouble that went into bringing Brandon back. Whatever happened to Eugenia anyways? I remember she later was forced to work for Sami (or was it Nicole?) I found her fun. I remember Tek and Lexie romping in a big SUV while Abe was blind around the same time as well, I think Tek’s mysterious death is one of Days’ few deaths that have stuck LMAO. 
 

I loved EJ and Sami early on there in 2006 Scott and Sweeney had instant chemistry, and he was there for Sami while Austin & Carrie got exposed themselves for a change which was great. However the rape definitely killed off any momentum and just always left a dark cloud over them.  Rafe & Sami were pleasing to me IMO but I guess they got ruled out as endgame.
