Is Brady The Next Sami?


© Deborah Horton

I am sure that long time fans will remember when Sami kidnapped her baby sister Belle and then for years tried to steal her sisters' boyfriend Austin. She was one manipulative teenager. Is Brady now poised to take over that role?

Brady has had a chip on his shoulder ever since he appeared all grown up in Salem. Most of that chip has been directed at Marlena and the conflict between them has resulted in the break down of John and Marlena's marriage.

Brady has now been paralyzed by a gun shot from the gun of Abe Carver and is currently in a wheel chair. Already he has started to use this situation to his advantage against Marlena. He wants to make her feel as guilty as possible for her role in putting him in the chair.

I have a feeling the show is going to turn him into a manipulative teenager along the same lines as Sami. Brady feels abandoned because his mother died when he was very young and his father was too busy off chasing Stefano or rescuing Marlena to pay any attention to him. It is very much the same story as Sami went through when she was younger.

The show is probably going to have Brady manipulate Marlena into feeling so guilty that she either leaves John or leaves Salem. I think that this will all play into the Hattie/Stefano story as well. But do we really need another Sami? Isn't one of them enough for any soap opera?

Brady could be doing so much more than causing trouble for John and Marlena. And an original storyline would be a welcome change for the show instead of redoing the old ones. One Sami is enough, let Brady be a force for good not a manipulating schemer.
