Exciting News for Days of Our Lives Fans: Louise Sorel Returns as Vivian Alamain

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) enthusiasts have reason to celebrate as Louise Sorel, the legendary actress who plays Vivian Alamain, confirms her return to the show. In a recent interview with Harvey Brownstone, Sorel shared that she began filming new scenes on Friday, March 17, marking her first on-screen appearance in three years.

Although Sorel’s voice was heard in January during a phone call between Vivian and Stefan DiMera (Brandon Barash), fans can eagerly anticipate a full-fledged return of the dynamic character later this year. With Vivian’s penchant for stirring up trouble, her comeback promises to add more excitement and intrigue to the popular soap opera.

During her conversation with Brownstone, Sorel candidly discussed the challenges she faced upon her return, including adapting to COVID-related protocols and the fast-paced shooting schedule. She described her initial shock at the rigorous testing procedures, which required everyone to be tested before entering the building. Once cleared, actors had to wait alone in their dressing rooms, sometimes for up to two hours, before filming scenes twice as quickly as before.

Sorel also opened up about feeling rusty after her three-year hiatus, frequently apologizing for struggling with the extensive dialogue she was given. However, the volume of lines she received indicates that the show plans to make the most of her return by heavily featuring the vivacious character of Vivian Alamain.

As for what fans can expect from Vivian’s latest Salem escapades, details remain under wraps. Speculation includes the possibility of Vivian escaping from prison or securing an early release, which could pave the way for her to resume her notorious scheming and create chaos. Viewers are also eager for an onscreen reunion between Vivian and her son, Stefan, now that he has returned from the dead.

Sorel’s return as Vivian raises questions about her potential alliances and conflicts with other characters, such as Stefan and Gabi Hernandez (Camila Banus). Will she become an invaluable ally or create more problems for them? Only time will reveal the direction her character will take, but her return guarantees more captivating storylines for the long-running show.

Days of Our Lives has recently welcomed back other fan-favorite characters, including Bo Brady (Peter Reckell), Hope Williams Brady (Kristian Alfonso), and Harris Michaels (Steve Burton), demonstrating the show’s commitment to keeping its content fresh and engaging. Vivian’s return promises to deliver entertainment and suspense, a testament to Louise Sorel’s enduring talent and the enduring appeal of her character.

Stay tuned for further announcements regarding Sorel’s first airdate back on Days of Our Lives.
