Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers tease that the NBC soap managed to score a huge return! SOD is reporting that Alison Sweeney (Sami) is headed back to DOOL. Sami has returned briefly in the past, but she’ll be in town for an extended trip this time around. It looks like Days made an enticing offer that included a juicy storyline.
Sweeney has been a busy woman since her departure from Days of Our Lives. She’s been in some popular Hallmark movies and has focused on other fun projects as well. However, Sweeney had a bit of a setback when she injured her knee in a skiing accident. It made it even harder to come up with a shooting schedule that Sweeney and DOOL could agree on.
Fortunately, they were able to make it happen. Sweeney told SOD that it took some juggling, but they eventually came up with a solution. “I figured out a schedule, blocked out some time that I had available and we figured it out,” Sweeney said. She added that she’d be shooting her scenes in May and June.
Days of Our Lives tapes several months in advance, so it’ll be a while before we see Sami back in Salem. Still, it’s definitely something for fans to look forward to. Based on all the buzz we’ve been hearing, it sounds like good things are brewing.
Since Sami is coming home, EJ (James Scott) will likely be involved in some way. Days has undoubtedly been trying to lure James Scott back, but that may not have panned out. Scott has never seemed particularly interested in returning to soaps.
Nevertheless, it’s possible that confirmation could come a little later. If not, EJ could still be part of the story. Recasts are common on daytime dramas and it wouldn’t be too difficult to find a dashing portrayer to fill in.
Since it’s only for a couple of months, it wouldn’t be a big commitment anyway. If viewers don’t like the potential newbie, he may not be around long enough to hate. Of course, Days might find someone who truly blows us away. In that case, there’s always a chance that a new EJ could stick around. A split from Sami would allow that.
Regardless, we’ll all be gearing up for Sami’s confirmed stint. CDL previously predicted Sweeney’s return and now the show is coming through for us. We’ll give you updates as more news comes in.
