On the November 5 episode of Days of our Lives, Chanel and Johnny finally became baby T’s (now known as Trey, for John III, a.k.a. John Paul DiMera) legal adoptive parents. As a result, Marlena became a great-grandma yet again (she already has Ari and Henry). And Sami became a grandma yet again (she also already has Ari and Henry). But since everyone is acting like this is a brand new experience for Sami, let’s take a moment to imagine what a hands-on Grandma Sami might be like…
Key Takeaways:
- Sami didn’t spend much time with Will and Allie’s kids
- Sami is finally ready to be a grandma
- Sami will be as much of a hurricane at that as she is at anything else – no matter what EJ…or Belle… think
Grandma Sami
Sami (Alison Sweeney) was a teenager when she gave birth to Will (Chandler Massey), and Will was a teenager when he had Ari (Marissa Reyes) with Gabi (Cherie Jimenez). Sami wasn’t ready to be a grandmother yet. She was still too busy being Sami, flitting from Rafe (Galen Gering) to EJ to Lucas (Bryan Datillo). Who had time for shawls and cookie baking?
Time Enough to Last
But two decades have passed since she first became a grandma, and Sami is a different woman now. She is totes over Rafe. And EJ. And Lucas. And definitely EJ. Yup. Sami has no more feelings for him at all. Nada. None.

Sami is only coming to Salem to see Johnny’s (Carson Boatman) new little boy. She is finally ready to do all those grandma things she never got around to with Will and Ari.
Best For You
And if Sami being a Grandma reminds EJ that she’s the mother of his child… and the love of his life – that would be Sami, not Belle (Martha Madison)… never ever Belle… Well, that’s not at all on Sami’s agenda. She is here to sing lullabies, hand out hard candies, and talk about how things were in the good old days. Because little Trey is going to need his Grandma. And that’s Sami. Not Belle. Never, ever, Belle. You got that, EJ?
