In honor of Days of our Lives 45th anniversary celebration, On-Air On-Soaps continues it’s week long fan voting polls leading up to this coming Saturday’s November 6th, A DAYS OF DAYS event with the cast. On-Air On-Soaps will be on hand at the annual press and fan fest taping video interviews with all your Salem favorites, and during our time with the stars we will announce to them and for the first time, the chosen winners as picked by you, their loyal viewing audience, in several fun categories. And yes, your picks will receive the DAYS 45/On-Air On-Soaps Gold Medal for a keepsake. Think of this as the voting Olympics for die-hard or even the most casual DAYS fan.
Here’s the rules and all you have to do. To clarify, you may only vote once in each category from the same computer. You can vote all the way up until Friday night, November 5th at 10PM PST when the polls close.
Tonight’s new categories are: Beloved Salem Favorite Female, Favorite Vixen, and Favorite Young Male Star. About these nominations: Beloved Salem Favorite selections are based on actresses who have been considered part of the DAYS family of characters for many years and decades. And while some may have been off the series for a few years, and returned in recurring or guest-starring capacities, they have a long and enduring association with the show. These are for actresses that have made appearances or have been on the series during the last year through to this anniversary year, not stars who no longer appear on the show. Favorite Vixen selections is for the real femme fatale of Salem. These nominees alter-egos have all cheated on their spouses, beau’s, or whoever, to get what they want at one time or another. Favorite Young Male Star selections represent the young core of male actors who are the next generation of Salem. Remember, if you don’t agree with our nominees and suggestions in the categories, you have the option of entering “Other”. And, if you haven’t vote in the other categories make sure to vote for Favorite Flawed Heroine and Favorite duo by clicking here. Also, cast your vote for Favorite Hottie, Baddie and Hero by clicking here. So, go the Polls below and make your vote count for Beloved Female, Vixen, and Young Male Star!
[polldaddy poll=4020870]
Wow. Beloved female who has been on the soap for a long time? Hello? How on earth could you think that Mary Beth Evans, Judy Evans, or Alison Sweeney is more beloved than Deidre Hall, Susan Seaforth Hayes, or Frances Reid?? What are you smoking? I, like many people I’m sure, know what Other stands for, and why it is winning currently with 22% of the votes. Next time you do a poll about a beloved character, do your f***in homework.
And..I Like Ali Sweeney more than them.
SNAP! Why must we use swear words here read the instructions Dah.
Some people fail to read instructions, it is pretty sad.
I AM HOPING THAT YOU DO NOT TAKE SOAP NET OFF THE AIR BEACUSE I LOVE WATCHING MY SHOWS AT NIGHT AND IN THE MORNING AND I THINK THAT YOU SHOW ADD THE NEW SHOW CALLED THE BAY THE SERIES BECAUSE I HAVE SEEN CLIPS OF IT AND IT WOULD DO REALLY GREAT ON SOAP NET. AND YOU SHOULD ALSO ADD THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL TOO.
AND I LOVE WATCHING
DAYS OF OUR LIVES
THE YOUNG AND THE RESTLESS
ALL MY CHILDREN

But When I am on Vacation in California I Am Not Able To Watch The
Shows Because I Am Always With My Family So When I Am Home
I Do Make Sure To Watch The Shows. And I Hope That The Ratings
Keep Going Up So No More Shows Are Cancled And Taken Off The
Air.
Why isn’t Sami Brady in the favourite vixen poll? I find it a bit of a joke that this is supposed to be celebrating 45 years, but they are only looking at the current storylines. Sami Brady was the most twisted little vixen in Salem for oh 15 years!! So my vote goes to Sami Brady, in both cateogories because she is more grey than a heroine!!
She’d definitely have my vote in that poll! But my default, my vote goes to Kate Dimera with Nicole Walker at a close third.
And also what the hell?? Renee Jones (Lexi)…listed on the “Vixen” poll…but there is no Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) and no Louise S. (Vivian) at all listed there??? What is this??? Is this some kind of joke?? Because when Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady) is not ACTUALLY listed on the poll for “Favorite Vixen”; when you have to “write her in”…we are seriously being “puNk’ed!!” What is this?? Like for real…are you serious??? I can not believe that Alison Sweeney, “Sami VIXEN-VILLAINESS Brady,” America’s Favorite Soap Villain is not listed anywhere on that “Vixen” poll. Sami Brady fans?? Are you out there…this is such crap! UGH!!! We are totally being “puNk’ed!!” Because when Sami Brady is not on the vixen polls, as she is a vixen and one of the top and most legendary ones in soaps period, it is a actual disgrace, a joke, and the poll just can’t be taken seriously at all.
Are you serious?? Shelley Hennig (Stephanie)…over Alison Sweeney (Sami) for “Vixen”?? YOU HAVE GOT TO BE KIDDIN’ ME RIGHT??? That is the BIGGEST JOKE & DISASTER EVER!!!! Who do you think did ALL of what Stephanie and those other ladies on the list have done; who do you think wrote the book for what all of those ladies have done; who do you think laid it down and paved the way to what Stephanie has done as well as those other listed; who is STILL doing terrible things, lying, scheming, manipulating….SAMI BRADY has did it ALL and is STILL doing it! She wrote the book and blue prints to villainess and vixen. I just can not believe and can not imagine a “Vixen Poll” without her ACTUALLY listed on it! When Alison Sweeney/Sami Brady is not listed on a “Vixen” poll, it most definitely can not be taken seriously AT ALL!!!!
I totally agree.
Michael Sami Brady is the ultimate vixen of Days, come on you know it, you know Days history Michael !
Even now when they try to whitewash her past she still just shot a man in the head, even more the father of two of her children and since then she lies about it which leads to the death of her current sister’s boyfriend..so in my book (and actually everyone’s book lol) this is not a heroine’s behaviour that..but more a vixen or anti-heroine maybe even a villainess bahaviour..
Beloved Salem Female: Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady)
FAVORITE VIXEN: ALISON SWEENEY (SAMI BRADY)!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Favorite Young Male Star: Aaron & Griffin (Johnny DiMera)
Oh I like that choice for favourite young male star!! Hmm I might choose this one too.lol
To your reply, that is one of the biggest mistakes they are making with this show they are not respecting history and they are continuing to drastically change characters to suit whatever storyline they find themselves in. I personally, like Sami as the Anti-Brady because she had heart and strived to be good but oh she just couldn’t help all those schemes just to satistfy her own insecurities and selfishness. I loved her more like this because she had passion and spunk that made her stand out from the rest of the Brady clan. Writers try to make her the herione now but it just makes her sadly one of the sanctimonous selfrightous Bradys, that she so detested years ago. When she is the anti-brady it means she can still make horrible mistakes and not have to live up to this high and mighty status. That’s one of the things I love so much about Ej and Sami despite being bad they strive to do good and it is that heart and passion that makes them rootable as inviduals and as a supercouple. They love hard, and fight for what their heart desires. To me that is what makes them special and shine from the rest. This is what the writers need to capture in their lovestory is that unique passion and temperment they have with a bit of a Mr and Mrs Smith kind of relationship, modern exciting and full of adventure and romance. They don’t have to play nice, being powerful and pasionate is where this story needs to be.
Hi Michael,
You mentioned that addition names can be added via the “other” catagory. I have tried to vote and while it says the vote was accepted, the “other” catagory remains listed at 0. Are these votes counted behind the scenes – so to speak?
Oops! I’m one of those that didn’t read the instructions, so I wrote in Deidre Hall. If I had a do-over, I’d probably go with Mary Beth Evans. Carly Manning is currently my favorite heroine on the show, but based on longevity I’d give my vote to Kayla.
Missy Reeves as Jennifer Rose Horton Deveraux! I’m so excited to have Missy back with her DAYS family, and I’m looking forward to seeing Jennifer on our Salem screens again. (And hoping for more Deveraux returns, as well!)
Wondering who won the poll for Beloved Salem Female performer…
So when do we find out who won most beloved female, and when do we see the awards handed out.
thanks kim
Congrats to Arianne Zucker you are great a being a bad girl after all bad girls have more fun lol. You so deserve this award you are great and I root for your character all the time.
