‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers finds that we know Stacy Haiduk recently won a battle of the Kristen DiMeras. The main reason being her campy, over-the-top persona, and the razor-sharp snark. But there’s one issue. Here’s what you need to know.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: Promising start
When Kristen returned again in the guise of Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), with an eye toward winning back her old love and getting her family company back, we were there for it. She’s shown a toughness that we like in a villain, as well as a ruthlessness that is essential to pulling off an evil scheme. She’s also not easy fooled. Awesome character, right?

Days of Our Lives spoilers: The problem
Sort of. While we like her for all the reasons mentioned above, there’s one thing that is really beginning to bother us. Her obsession with Brady Black (Eric Martsolf). Her desperate attempts to win back a man that constantly rejects her is getting embarrassing to watch. Having her practically throw herself at Brady’s feet undermines her potential as a villain. It makes her less scary, and more pitiful. When she practically drools like a schoolgirl over a shirtless Brady in the Thursday, July 18 episode, it totally undermines the awesome job she did facing off with Xander Cook (Paul Telfer) in the guise of Susan Banks.
Days of Our Lives spoilers: The solution
If the writers want us to take her seriously as a villain, she needs to be enough of a grown woman to realize enough is enough and move on. Having her hit on Brady as Susan this week is not going to do that. It makes zero sense for her to think Brady would even remotely be okay with that.
Instead, they should have her focused 100% on her budding war with Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash). Winning back control of her family legacy is a much less humiliating motivation for a villain, and something with lots of potential. Especially now that another DiMera is heading back to town.
