Deadline reported on Monday, August 24, that “Days of Our Lives” will be getting one familiar face back on the airwaves: Alison Sweeney will be making a comeback to her iconic role as Sami Brady. So that’s one silver lining at least to the cloud of cast members whose ousters have been announced over the course of the year.
She’ll start appearing in late 2020 and will stick around for most of 2021. She originally joined the cast of the NBC soap opera in 1993 when Sami, the daughter of classic characters Roman Brady and Marlena Evans, was aged into her teenage years. After years as a troublemaker on the show she evolved into a heroine and a mother in her own right. Her on-screen son Will Horton (Chandler Massey) became one of the most prominent and long-running gay characters in daytime history.
