Trigger warning: The following article contains language regarding sexual assault.
When it comes to “Days of Our Lives” couples, viewers certainly have their favorites.
However, there have also been pairings that fans didn’t like.
Another unlikable couple was Brady Black and Kristen DiMera.
However, one of the worst couples in Salem’s history has to be Jack Deveraux and Kayla Brady.
At the time, Kayla was in a relationship with Steve Johnson, and the two were happy.
Once Jack was revealed to be Steve’s long-lost brother, things changed even more drastically.
Jack proposed to Kayla, and she accepted.
The couple got married, and Jack made a miraculous recovery.
However, when Jack found out about Kayla’s betrayal, he was beyond furious.
His rage took over, and he ended up raping Kayla and hiring someone to attack Steve.
Kayla filed for divorce from Jack and turned him in to the police for his crimes, perSoap Central.
However, his family’s connections allowed him to avoid any legal consequences.
Jack and Kayla made peace and learned to be friendly toward one another.
Of course, Jack could never fully escape his dark past.
Eventually, JJ found out that his father had raped Kayla, and he was disgusted.
He acted out and ended up being arrested for assault and vandalism (viaSoap Central).
Years later, Jack returned to Salem after being presumed dead.
His family was thrilled to see him, but he was suffering from amnesia.
Jack was horrified to learn what he’d done, perSoaps, though he later got his memory back.
However, his crimes likely won’t be forgotten by longtime “Days of Our Lives” fans.
If you or anyone you know has been a victim of sexual assault, help is available.
