When it comes to creating a villain, “Days of Our Lives” knows what it’s doing.
Over the years, there have been many shady characters who have caused chaos.
Other characters like Clyde Weston have had less time in Salem but left their mark nonetheless.
However, Salem’s most devilish villains have caused chaos and destruction to many for decades.
During his run in Salem, Stefano caused trouble for nearly everyone he came into contact with.
Stefano spent many years building an empire in Salem and growinghis family, which consists of several children.
He also harbored an obsession with Marlena Evans.
Vivian was introduced in 1992 and quickly fell for Victor Kiriakis (John Aniston).
However, a truly epic feud was born when he left her for Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow).
Vivian hated the woman and tried to ruin her life byfaking Carly’s death and burying her alive.
Vivian tortured Carly as she ran out of oxygen and nearly died before being saved at the last minute.
Years later, Vivian did the same thing to Kate and Victor’s wife, Maggie Horton.
Vivian also lied to Carly and Lawrence about their son, whom they thought had died.
Instead, Vivian took the little boy as a baby and passed him off as her adopted son.
She later returned the child to the couple.
Kristen also helped Stefano with many of his evil endeavors, like kidnapping, brainwashing, and more.
After leaving Salem, Kristen (now Stacy Haiduk) returned years later to cause trouble again.
This time, she fell for John’s son, Brady Black (Eric Martsolf).
She later masqueraded as Nicole Walker and seduced Brady, eventually becoming pregnant with his child.
It was clear that he was going to shake things up.
Maggie helped Victor calm his criminal urges and become a better man.
However, he was still no angel.
Victor also continued his corrupt business practices and always found someone to help him do his dirty work.
At one point,Sami even disguised herself as a mannamed Stan to hide in plain sight in Salem.
