A familiar character from yesteryear or, perhaps, a lookalike imposter resurfaces on Days of Our Lives. Here are the latest casting news comings and goings from the soap.

The Week of January 20, 2025

Roslyn Gentle begins airing as the mysterious Woman in White this week, but is it the same character from the past or a lookalike? The original character, who debuted in 1995 and haunted Aremid, was Rachel Blake, Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) mother. However, she was presumed to have died in a gas explosion in 1996. Gentle, whose credits include S.W.A.T. and American Crime Story, previously played a judge on The Young and the Restless. The Woman in White was last played by Pat Delaney. 

Finley Rose Slater is back as Rachel Black, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) daughter. The runaway airs on Friday, January 24, in scenes with the aforementioned Gentle and Tamara Braun’s Ava. 

Derek Yates gets more airtime as the duplicitous Kerry. On Monday, January 20, and Wednesday, January 22, he appears in scenes with Al Calderon’s Javi and Greg Rikaart’s Leo.

Madelyn Kientz is back as Sophia. The teen airs on Thursday, January 23. She’ll share scenes with Leo Howard’s Tate and Ashley Puzemis’ Holly.

Shi Ne Nielson makes another appearance as Amy Choi, Sophia’s mom. On Thursday, January 23, she interacts with Kientz and Braun.
