SAMANTHA GENE BRADY
 Sami and her
brother, Eric, were raised in Denver, Colorado by their maternal
grandparents. She returned to Salem in 1992 as a teenager and wasted no time
getting herself into trouble. Although she has a wholesome good girl
appearance, Sami is known for her dark and devious side. Just a few weeks
after her arrival, Sami began her long-term seduction of her sister Carrie's
boyfriend, Austin Reed.
Sami befriended newcomer Lucas Roberts and the two joined forces to break
Carrie and Austin apart. Despite all of her radical efforts to win Austin
over, he was in love with Carrie. She even became bulimic in an attempt to
get Austin's attention.

Back at home, Sami was meddling in her mother, Marlena's business as well.
She uncovered Marlena's affair with John Black and discovered that her
little sister, Belle, was John's biological daughter. She saw Belle as a
constant reminder of her mother's mistake and kidnapped her to get her away
from the family. John, however, found Belle and the two were reunited.
Later, Sami began dating Alan who eventually raped her. Her testimony did
not hold up in court and the case was subsequently dropped. Later, Alan
attacked her and threatened her at gunpoint but Sami gained control of the
situation and shot him in the groin, castrating him. After the ordeal, she
turned to Lucas for comfort and couple made love thereby conceiving baby
Will. Sami, however, was still in love with Austin and she drugged him in
order to get him into bed. After Austin and Sami made love, he realized his
mistake and vowed that it would never happen again.
Sami used her pregnancy to tear Austin and Carrie apart.
Sami used her pregnancy to tear Austin and Carrie apart. She interrupted
their wedding with the false news that Austin was her baby's father. Sami
gave birth to baby Will and continued to use him to win Austin over from
Carrie. When Will was kidnapped and sold on the black market in France,
Austin and Sami were forced to legally marry in order to regain custody of
their child. Austin planned to annul the marriage as soon as they returned
to Salem but a series of accidents prevented the two from splitting. Sami
faked amnesia for months in order to manipulate both Austin and her family
but she was eventually found out. Will's paternity was revealed and Austin
married Carrie.
Next, Sami had a brief affair with aspiring US citizen, Franco Kelly. The
two were engaged but Austin found Franco having an affair with a stripper
named Candi and told Sami moments before the wedding. Sami threatened to
kill him and moments later, Franco was found dead (Lucas shot him). Sami was
convicted of the crime and sentenced to die by lethal injection. Austin
kidnapped Will and Sami and hid them from authorities but she was eventually
recaptured. Seconds before her injection, Sami was cleared of the crime.
A free citizen again, Sami reverted to her "evil" ways to gain custody of
Will and to pry Austin and Carrie apart. Even though Austin learned that he
wasn't the father, he committed himself to raising young Will. Sami and
Austin continued to grow closer and Carrie and Austin eventually divorced.
Sami and Austin moved in with one another at the Kiriakis mansion.
Of course, just because Austin and Carrie divorced, that didn't mean Sami
had her man.
Of course, just because Austin and Carrie divorced, that didn't mean Sami
had her man. He spent time with Greta and the two grew closer. In the
meantime, Sami allowed herself to be wooed by Brandon and the two had
several "dates" and she enlisted the help of both him and Nicole to help her
gain custody of Will. She and Brandon succeeded, after he seduced and
married Angela Moroni. Angela's dying request, at the Coronation Massacre,
was that her father give Sami the tape that proved Lucas's guilt.
After Austin overheard an argument between Lucas and Sami that revealed all
of her many lies, he left her at the altar in a very emotional scene. A
heartbroken Sami went back to Salem with an even bigger problem. Lucas had
tape-recorded their argument and eventually Victor got hold of the tape. He
forced Sami to let Lucas see Will and later Nicole had him use the tape to
keep Sami away from Brandon. However, you can't keep Sami down for long. She
and Brandon eventually got together. Nicole is still out to get her,
however, and Victor has promised her that both Sami and Kate will be
destroyed as his wedding present to his young bride. Luckily for Sami, his
prophecy didn't come to pass. By the time of Victor and Nicole's wedding, he
really wasn't interested in pleasing his young bride.
Sami prepared for her future with Brandon, but once again, she lied to him.
She believed that after a one-night stand, Brandon was the father of Lexie's
baby. She knew that if Brandon found out, he would want to do the
responsible thing and that would mean leaving Sami. She knew that the secret
would get out, thanks to the fact that a lab tech at the hospital knew her
secret, so the night Lexie's baby was born, Sami forced Brandon to go to a
justice of the peace and exchange vows. Meanwhile, Lucas, Kate and Nicole
were hot on her tracks. They tracked the newlyweds down to the Salem Inn and
exposed Sami's secret. Brandon went to the hospital and confronted Lexie,
where it came out that Sami had been tricked. Abe was really the father.
Brandon left Salem – and Sami – shortly thereafter.
Sami went into a downward spiral. Believing that Tony was ultimately
responsible for Lexie's trick, she confronted him at the DiMera Mansion. She
went out of control and fell through the French doors. She was badly injured
and very nearly died; she recovered everything but the power of speech.
Although a silent Sami could be a good thing for many Salemites, she did
eventually regain her voice, but not before having some hot sexual fantasies
about Lucas.
When the Salem Stalker started her murderous spree, Sami was one of the
seven main suspects. There was plenty to indict her but, of course, she
wasn't guilty. Her mother Marlena was. Sami refused to believe that her
beloved mother could be responsible for orchestrating a killing spree like
this and blamed John and Kate for setting her up. When Marlena was killed in
what looked like an escape attempt, Sami added Bo to the blame game.
Meanwhile, in spite or because of the murders, Sami and Lucas's relationship
heated up. They no longer only fantasized about making love, they actually
did it. Eventually, they became engaged, but Kate couldn't let the wedding
actually happen. And Sami knew it.
Scheming Kate tried everything in her power to stop the wedding from
occurring, even throwing her hat in with another of Sami's nemeses, Eugenia.
Together, they orchestrated the return of Brandon Walker and terrified Sami
in the process. She was so scared, in fact, that when she learned where
Brandon was staying the night before her wedding, she went there to make
sure he'd stay away. Unfortunately, she played right into Kate's plans. Kate
drugged them both and stuck them in bed naked together. Then, she went to
Lucas's, where she told him she'd hired a private investigator who'd tailed
Sami to that hotel. Lucas showed up, found Sami and Brandon naked together
and the wedding was off!
Desperate, sobbing Sami showed up in Lucas's apartment that morning in her
wedding dress. Lucas ripped up their wedding license. Sami tried to blame
Kate, and even Brandon showed up and did the same, but Kate squirmed her way
out of it. Devastated Sami returned home and broke down.
