However, that’s not the path that Sami took in her life.
Over the years, fans have watched Sami be involved in somebizarre storylines(viaTV Source Magazine).
It all started when Sami Brady befriended Franco Kelly.

Franco was there for Sami during that time, although what he really wanted was a green card.
However, the pair got engaged in 1998 and their wedding day quickly approached.
Franco and Kate got into an altercation and Lucas ended up shooting and killing Franco.

Later, Sami found Franco dead and passed out in shock.
Kate then planted evidence and framed Sami for the murder.
Sami was eventually arrested for the crime, although she proclaimed her innocence.

She was later sentenced to death for Franco’s murder and was nearly killed for the crime.
“I remember getting that script and seeing Lucas' lines ' I did it!
I killed Franco!'
and thinking, ‘Man, this is great!'”
Dattilo toldTV Insider, adding that it was his first serious storyline on the soap.
Years later, a similar storyline played out with Ben Weston and Ciara Brady, perDaily Soap Dish.
