ALISON SWEENEY LEADS A MAJOR DAYS REUNION

TL;DR: Days of Our Lives is bringing back four fan favorites for a major story arc set to air in June 2027. Alison Sweeney, Christie Clark, Bryan Dattilo, and Chandler Massey were all back filming together last week.

Alison Sweeney and Three Fan Favorites Return to DAYS

Days of Our Lives has a major reunion in the works. Alison Sweeney (Sami Brady), Christie Clark (Carrie Brady), Bryan Dattilo (Lucas Horton), and Chandler Massey (Will Horton) were all back filming together at the show’s Burbank studios last week, ahead of a story arc set to air in June 2027.

Sweeney told TV Insider it was “so good to be with everyone together again,” adding that stepping into a big, emotional story felt effortless once she was back working alongside such strong scene partners.

Where These Four Have Been

Clark, who lives in England, described the decision to return as an easy one despite the distance. Balancing full-time motherhood with the demands of daytime, she explained that a call to fly to Los Angeles and step back into hair, makeup, and wardrobe is always one she’s happy to take.

All four actors have been off the canvas for some time. Clark was last seen during last June’s funeral episodes for John Black, while Sweeney, Massey, and Dattilo each made appearances around a hospital gala honoring Tom Horton back in November 2025.

Why This Reunion Means So Much

Sweeney and Clark actually found out they’d be sharing this story together during a Zoom call with producers. It hadn’t worked out the last time the two were both back on the show, which made the news feel even better this time around.

Both actresses described falling right back into their onscreen sisterhood as Carrie and Sami, comparing it to old muscle memory kicking back in the moment cameras started rolling. Alison Sweeney has played Sami opposite Clark’s Carrie since 1993, and that decades-long history is exactly what made slipping back into the dynamic feel so natural for both of them.

Working alongside Dattilo and Massey added another layer of nostalgia. Sweeney reminisced about inside jokes from years past and recalled coaching Massey through his very first scenes back in 2010, when he was still finding his footing in the role of Will.

A Legacy Worth Celebrating

Both actresses emphasized how meaningful the material itself felt, describing scenes with real emotional weight rather than a simple rehash of old history. For two performers with decades of history on the show, that kind of substantial storytelling clearly made the return worth the nerves that come with stepping back into daytime’s demanding pace.

For Alison Sweeney especially, this reunion also carries a sense of legacy. She’s talked before about what it means to be part of a show with this much history, describing being part of Days of Our Lives as being part of television history itself, something that’s touched generations of viewers across more than six decades on the air. Coming back for a story this substantial gives her the chance to add another meaningful chapter to that legacy, rather than simply making a cameo appearance.
