Days of Our Lives‘ 60th anniversary celebration wouldn’t be complete without one of its famous actresses, Alison Sweeney.

- Sweeney reflected on one co-star who was missing.
Making Memories
For 32 years, Sweeney has been part of the DAYS family. So, when she was invited to participate in the show’s 60th anniversary, she couldn’t resist. Aside from reprising her role as Sami, Sweeney was also included in the anniversary photoshoot.
Being reunited with her onscreen family was a joy for Sweeney. On Instagram, the actress posted a behind-the-scenes video of her and her co-stars laughing and joking during the photoshoot. “I am so blessed to have such wonderful people to share these memories with,” the star wrote. “@ericmartsolf & I always crack each other up & I always feel the love and family energy with @marth27 & @gregvaughan & @deidrehall_official.”
While it was heartwarming to see the Brady/Black family reunited, it was also bittersweet. Drake Hogestyn, who played the beloved John Black, passed away in September 2024. The actor was on everyone’s minds as they celebrated this upcoming milestone for the show.
“We missed @drakehogestyn so much this day,” Sweeney wrote of her former onscreen stepfather. “He would’ve been the center of everything, keeping us all in line with a funny story & his impeccable charm.”
Sweeney, an avid baseball fan like Hogestyn, said the two would’ve had a lot to discuss about the Dodgers’ recent World Series win.
The actress then ended her post by expressing her gratitude to the fans and everyone at DAYS. “Thank you to all of you for sharing this Days ⏳ history with me too. I am so grateful to you all for making it possible.”
