Fans were thrilled when Alison Sweeney recently brought Sami back to Days of Our Lives, twice. The first time was to console Johnny, who learned the horrible story of his conception. The second was when she came back to Salem to pay her final respects to the late John Black. Outside of the soap, and when she wasn’t working on a Hallmark film, Sweeney had great fun appearing on LEGO Masters Jr. Now, she’s got another return to Salem booked, and she opened up about what Sami’s going to be up to.
Sweeney Went Home
Sweeney told TV Line that she had learned a lot about LEGOs when appearing on the fun competition show. But when asked if she’d ever been in a Hallmark Christmas film that involved LEGOs, she remarked, “You know, I have never heard of one, but that is a great idea.” She also stated that she was working on a few Hallmark films to be released in 2026, noting that she was excited for them to premiere.
The conversation then turned to DAYS and her August 4 return. She revealed, “I have a few more episodes in this return, and another return coming up in a couple of months. It’s always fun to go back to that show.” She stated that she truly loves playing her beloved character, as well as seeing the cast and crew whom she regards as family. “So it is like going home,” she noted.

Sami Would Make Things Worse
Sami has been noticeably absent from Salem, even though her son, Johnny (Carson Boatman), is on trial for shooting EJ (Dan Feuerriegel). When asked why she has not been included in the story, she remarked, “I would just cause problems if I got involved in that.” She further added, “I would make it worse. And everyone agreed. [Laughs] I would just stir up more trouble!”
The conversation changed again, asking about what else she has going on. She explained that she came up with some ideas that she pitched to Hallmark that included other characters she hasn’t played yet. She enjoys the challenge of “finding other ways to tell stories,” and happily remarked that she’s going to Spain soon to shoot a couple of films. “That was so fun and fresh to do,” she happily noted.
