Where Should Anna’s Story Lead?

By Janet Di Lauro Oct 17, 2016 3:17 p.m. ET

After a long absence, the mercurial Anna is heading back to Salem and Days of Our Lives.

Anna (Leann Hunley) last appeared on DAYS in 2012, when she teamed with EJ to kidnap his daughter, Sydney. But, still has ties to the town. Her ex-husband Roman resides there, as well as Andre, the lookalike brother of her late hubby, Tony. Her estranged daughter, Carrie, is also slated for a visit to Salem that will coincide with Anna’s return. Soap Hub asked fans who you were most looking forward to seeing Anna interact with.

Ready for Roman
Roman (Josh Taylor) has been all by his lonesome for far too long, so 49% of you are eager to see Anna interact with him. They share a daughter and were deeply in love, albeit decades ago. You’re hoping the pair is able to rekindle things between them.

All About Andre
The 39% of fans who have always adored actress Leann Hunley’s chemistry with Thaao Penghils are rooting for Anna to share lots of screen time with Andre. Granted, the coupling won’t have the same impact as Anna and her true love, Tony. However, you’re eager to see an Anna and Andre connection explored.

Mother and Child Reunion
Days of our Lives has never revisited Anna’s strained relationship with Carrie (Christie Clark), the child she pretty much let Marlena (Deidre Hall) raise as her own. So, 12% of you are intrigued by the prospect of watching mother and daughter interact as adults. Surely, Carrie will have major resentment toward her mother, and you anticipate it providing powerful storyline.
