Sonny And Leo
Sonny and Leo had to be one of the most catastrophic couples on Days of Our Lives for the way Leo wormed his way into Sonny's life just to frame him for sexual harassment, resulting in Sonny unintentionally "killing" Leo and enlisting Will to serve him cover it up.

All the gay characters
Paul is John’s son with a woman named Tori Naurita, and Sonny and Will’s ex-boyfriend. He was brought in to be Wilson foil, and despite existence a great character, never really got a soul mate of his own. He first came in as a pro baseball player who had an affair with Will. Turns out, he was also Sonny’s ex. Will and Sonny separated, then Will was “killed” and Sonny and Paul got together. When Will was revealed to be alive, Sonny dumped Paul. However, it turned out this Will had amnesia and didn’t remember Sonny, so Will and Paul got together. Once Will got his memories back, he also dumped Paul and went back to Sonny. Paul, still being a great guy and character, took a bullet for Will (I think… don’t completely remember) and was paralyzed. He eventually left Salem to seek specialized physical therapy. I would love to see Paul come back because Dr. Wesley is well versed in some new treatment that could help him. Maybe something could happen with them.
