Yet Another Return
Sweeney first starred as Sami Brady in 1993 and became a fan favorite. She’s known as the troublemaker of the show, which adds excitement to the series.

Sweeney expressed her excitement about returning to the show, although she admitted to feeling nervous. Despite her extensive experience, she finds shooting TV movies less demanding than soap operas.

Alison Sweeney shared that she sometimes wonders if she could still memorize all the lines after all this time. She also highlighted that working with the same crew and being in familiar settings would make this easier as it would bring back many nostalgic memories from when she first joined the show.
