“When Things Go Wrong: Who’s Responsible for the Most Memorable Screw-Up on Days of Our Lives?”

Days of our Lives Polling
But who has made the biggest one most recently? And yes, we realize there are some stellar choices. Here’s how over 2,000 fans weighed in with their opinions.

Melinda Trask: The Mouse Trap
What was Melinda (Tina Huang) thinking when she tried to get Li (Remington Hoffman) to admit to having tried to kill Stefan (Brandon Barash) while they were on a date, 13% of you wonder. Not only is it not a great way to get a guy into you, but any evidence she would have gotten would also be inadmissible. As District Attorney, you’d think Melinda would know that. She’d have messed up twice, even if Li did blab.

Chad DiMera: Bro…
What was Chad (Billy Flynn) thinking when he listened to EJ’s (Daniel Feuerriegel) stupid advice? Just the idea that “What Would Stefano Do” could ever end happily is ridiculous to 19% of the audience. And when did EJ become an expert at relationships? This is the man who married Sami (Alison Sweeney) — more than once. He doesn’t know how to make a woman happy. He only knows how to make her vengeful.

Days of our Lives: Dirt Nap
What was Brady (Eric Martsolf) thinking when he so much as considered running off with Rachel (Finley Rose Slater), 33% of voters want to know. First and foremost, Kristen (Stacey Haiduk) would have found him. He is not that good at hiding. Second, he’d be in violation of the law. And third, he’d be stuck with the nightmare that is Rachel, constantly whining and calling the cops on her dad. Not a single part of that plan was viable.

Shawn Brady: I’ll Drink To That
But the biggest blunder, according to a winning 35%, was Shawn (Brandon Beemer) being made police commissioner. The guy has no experience. He’s related to three-fourths of the suspects who come into the precinct. And he’s a drunk. The department is already a mess. This will not help in any way.
