Sound familiar?

I’ve been serenaded by that opening mantra of Days of Our Lives for more than ten years now—and loving every minute of it. Since that January morning in 1993 when I walked onto the set of Days for the first time, I’ve taken a wonderful ride that is as exciting today as it was a decade ago.

The writers of Days have created a character that you can’t stop thinking about or trying to figure out. Even if some viewers don’t want to admit it, many of them relate to Sami, even though she certainly isn’t the most angelic character on daytime television.

Sami’s saving grace is that her behavior—the good, the bad, and the ugly—comes from a genuine place. It’s a product of her love for the people in her life, her own insecurities, and her unwavering determination to go after what she wants. You have to respect that about Sami. She’s definitely someone who millions of people identify with and even secretly admire, even when her mean streak is creating havoc throughout Salem.

Sami’s a character who everyone has an opinion about—and I think I’ve heard all of them from fans. Some offer warm hugs, telling me how much they adore Sami. Occasionally, however, they’ll give me a good tongue-lashing. Viewers have told me that they’ve actually thrown things at the TV screen when Sami becomes more than they can bear. The most common refrain: “Sami’s a real bitch!”

Through it all, I still love portraying Sami. I think she’s so much fun. At the same time, I adore every one of my fans, whether they love Sami or hate her. This book is for them and for you.
