Why Doesn’t Rafe Confide in Sami?

I think he’s kind of between a rock and a hard place but he’d be a fool to tell her the truth.  How long do you think it would be before she would blab it to somebody?  Probably before the next commercial break.

because of his "do as I say, not as I do" when judging Sami’s decisions.  I’m all for Sami waking up, and more than one Salemite can slam her for those decisions.  Lucas does it all the time.  Sami needs to develop a "don’t pee on my leg and tell me it’s raining" defense.  Rafe is supposed to be this good guy, white knight, definite Sir Galahad type, and here he is plotting and scheming to keep his sister out of jail (where she clearly should be), yet ready to throw himself on his sword before letting anything happen to his poor, misguided, little sis.  His affair with Carrie, which would definitely have happened without a thought toward Austin OR Sami if Carrie had not been pregnant.  Then, of course, there’s the whole ridiculous baby story line pretending to be Nicole’s baby daddy, all just shows me that Rafe is more grey than white, and now he shouldn’t trust Sami?  But, of course, this is Sami ….. and she’s like a young version of Kate, so everything about her is disgusting to most posters anyway.  She would have to decide, now, would she take it right to E.J. since it’s Nicole, her worst enemy, or would she be too concerned about what E.J. or the DiMeras would do to Rafe?  I think the writers are slowly changing Sami, and allowing her to make "big girl" decisions that may or may not prove she is growing up.  She does seem to be a much better character for me today than in the past, and I would say, yes, she’s "growing up", and that’s largely in part due to Rafe.
