Are any of your favorite performers from yesteryear returning to the daytime drama, this week, or in the not too far off future? Have any new actors or actresses been cast on the show in contract, recurring, or day player roles? Are any well-remembered stars from other soaps, past or present, about to join the Days of our Lives fold in surprising new parts? Here’s the latest casting news from the NBC soap.
The week of August 9, 2021
Alison Sweeney wraps up her latest run as Sami Brady DiMera on Wednesday, August 11, when the character is kidnapped. However, she will be back. The actress is reportedly filming scenes that will air in the upcoming months. Sweeney, who returned to the soap for an extended story arc, had been airing since February.
No sooner had Freddie Smith announced that he won’t be returning to DAYS, if and when the show called with an offer, than the role of Sonny Kiriakis has been recast. Zachary Atticus Tinker, who also portrays Fenmore Baldwin on The Young and the Restless, will be taking on the role of Sonny in the Peacock spinoff Days of our Lives: Beyond Salem. Whether or not that eventually translates to the actual soap, remains to be seen.
Please note that air dates may be subject to change.
DAYS made its debut in 1965 and is one of the longest-running daytime soap operas in American history. It has outlasted other soaps to become a mainstay for many households. Needless to say, five decades of storylines have kept viewers locked in and wanting more.

Fans love their daytime soap operas and the excitement in Salem is non-stop.
