Yes, it's a stupid couple, but since this show is based on trashy storylines, can we be surprised?
Yes, family values would encourage Sami's characters to be with one of her babies' fathers, but this is not a show based on values, is it? Not to mention that she "has feelings" for them both. Lucas is so far "the love of her life" and EJ "a part of her will always love him" (plus her unresolved feelings). So why not Rafe, right? He's hot!!

(heavy sarcasm intended). Let's add another man, and this time we hope she will be on some kind of contraceptions.
Uh, I guess we have to suffer through another disgusting pairing.
Maybe some women would follow those family values, but do you think that by staying with one of the children's fathers, it would make the woman happier? Because if she isn't happy, then what is the point in the woman staying with one of the men just for the sake of their children?
Sorry, I do not like Rafe just because he is played by Galen Gering or for his good looks, but because the first time I saw Galen on Passions, I thought he would be a great opposite love for Ali's character, Sami. When I heard that Galen was going to be on Days, I was excited because I always wanted to see Galen and Ali act together as a couple. And now I got that, I want them to be together because they have chemistry that is not just based on physical features and attraction. They got the first basis of a stable and healthy relationship hand down - friendship. Yes, they started out as not standing out each other, but after a while, they got comfortable with one another and trusted each other. That says a lot about their relationship. They put trust in each other, and after that they start to care about each other which has now delevop into a deeper caring feelings. If that is not pointing toward the gates to a romantic relationship, then what is?! Besides, I think friends can have a romantic relationship - I mean take a look at General Hospital's Jason and Elizabeth's relationship. They have something more than a friendship. They have been there for one another, just like what is Rafe and Sami are doing right now. Now comparing Rafe being there for Sami to EJ's and Lucas', we always saw EJ sneaking his way in "being there" to help or care for Sami (ex: EJ helping Sami try to get Lucas out of that freezer truck); as for Lucas, well he has always taken someone else's side over Sami's, so he was never there to defend her (ex: Lucas took Kate and Eugenia's side when they told him about Sami and Brandon in bed at a hotel before Sami and Lucas' wedding).
Sami just says "A part of me will always love you," not "I love you." She does not love EJ with her whole heart. Now if she was all in love with him, she wouldn't have been in a hurry and rush over to see Lucas in the hospital. She would always have a part of him in her heart because he is the father of her two children, so it is reasonable that a part of her loves him, but that does not mean she loves him whole-heartedly because we all know a part of her also loves Lucas, so the Lumi fans can also use that statement to defend their couple by stating that Sami will always love Lucas because they have a history with him, too.
Now for Days being compared to Passions, I can agree to some point because Nicole is a schemer just like Gwen. But what I don't entirely agree is that EJ is Ethan, and Sami is Theresa. Why don't I see EJ as Ethan? Yes, EJ is staying with Nicole just like how Ethan stayed with Gwen. But Ethan can also be Lucas, too because Ethan also took his mother's side and always threatened to cut off their mother-son relationship and never does. So comparing EJ to Ethan is not correct because Ethan was a mix between of EJ and Lucas - gullible to lies and a mama's boy. As for Sami being Theresa, Theresa always chased after Ethan because she thinks he is the love of her life and also because he is the father of her two children. Just like Sami chasing after Lucas and saying the same things. But what we never saw was Sami chasing after EJ. She might have been jealous of seeing EJ with Nicole, but it was based on physical attraction kind of like Ethan and Theresa because they always had that chemistry between them. So to say that EJ is Ethan, and Sami is Theresa is not entirely true. With all this said, these characters are different. Nicole is Nicole. EJ is EJ. Sami is Sami. Lucas is Lucas. Same goes for everyone else on Days.
Also, until I see witches flying around on broomsticks and magic/curses being placed on people, I will not believe of Days as like Passions.
