Alison Sweeney is Returning to ‘Days of Our Lives’

Days of Our Lives has had a slew of actors leave in the past few months, but one familiar face is coming back!

Alison Sweeney has reportedly signed a deal to come back as Sami Brady when the show resumes production. That means she has played the character for a total of 21 years, collectively. That’s a lot of scripts, y’all!

According to Deadline, Alison’s new storyline will be centered on her family and relationship with daughter Allie Horton, played by Lindsay Arnold.

“It is always a beautiful day in Salem when we get to welcome Alison Sweeney back to the canvas,” Days executive producer Ken Corday said in a statement. “Sami Brady is an integral part of our show’s history and we are elated that she’s coming home again.”

Sami was first introduced in 1993 and Alison’s performance earned her a Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series. She also won a special Fan Emmy for America’s Favorite Villain in 2002.

Welcome back, Alison!
