Sami Brady’s coming back! Days of Our Lives vet Alison Sweeney recently broke the news that she’ll be returning to the soap during an appearance on Hallmark Channel’s Home & Family.
The actress, who currently stars in Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ many Murder, She Baked films as Hannah Swensen, was promoting her latest holiday title Time for You to Come Home for Christmas. Sweeney last appeared on Days earlier this year in June as Sami.
Sweeney began on the series as Sami back in 1993 and has appeared in over a thousand episodes over the years on and off. Below, we’re breaking down everything we know about Sweeney’s return as the character.
