Days of our Lives’ Kristian Alfonso Starts New Role with Old Friend

Kristian Alfonso may have made her last appearance as Hope Brady on Days of our Lives last week, but the actress is already back in front of the cameras, working with a former co-star to boot.

Alison Sweeney and Kristian Alfonso Together Again

The actress posted an Instagram photo of herself on the set of the latest installment of the Hallmark Movies & Mysteries’ Chronicle Mysteries series, which was created by and stars Alison Sweeney, DAYS’ Samantha Brady.

Although Alfonso’s post gave little information about her part, judging by the outfit she’s wearing in the photo, and the hashtags Alfonso sprinkles in her message, it can be assumed she’s playing a character named Sheriff Williams and she’s working outside at some crime site.

Considering Sweeney stars as small-town newspaper editor-in-chief Alex McPherson in the series of movies, it’s a good bet that the two actresses will be sharing some scenes together, which should make DAYS fans ecstatic.

Plus, the nod to Alfonso’s character’s name is most likely to make DAYS fans smile, as Hope’s maiden name is Williams.

It was only a week ago that Sweeney posted a fond farewell to Alfonso on Hope’s last day on the show with an Instagram post that included a montage of shots of the two actresses over the last 20-plus years.

“Words cannot express how grateful I am to have her as my friend,” Sweeney wrote. “Kristian is such a talented and dedicated artist, a hard worker, a motivator, a listener and a chocolate connoisseur. She’s a wonderful mom and a caring friend. I can’t wait to see what this incredible woman does next!!”

Looks like Sweeney took that into her own hands as executive producer of the Hallmark show. We can’t wait to see what these two do together again. Days of our Lives (DOOL) airs weekdays on NBC. Check your local listings for airtimes.
