Days of Our Lives
Interviews

Warning, Days of Our Lives spoilers ahead!

On the November 10 episode of the NBC soap opera, Arianna will come clean Brady: she's an undercover narc agent. Will Brady get pissed? No, he'll get turned on and the pair will hit the sack.

In a recent interview with TV Guide Magazine, portrayers Lindsay Hartley and Eric Martsolf dish on this storyline and their characters roles in it. They both answer the pressing question:

What makes Arianna finally admit her secret to Brady?

Said Martsolf: "Brady had become semi-okay with Ari’s insistence that they keep their relationship a secret but then he presses the issue. He’s tired of the secrecy and the lies and she comes clean. His reaction to the whole thing took me by surprise.

"I thought this was going to be a deal breaker because Brady has his trust issues, but he takes it better than I thought he would. Having been in rehab, he wants to be able to trust people again—and be trusted—and here’s this girl who tells him her ultimate secret and trusts him with it. He can’t help but be appreciative of that."

Said Hartley: "In order to be complete and fully intimate with Brady, Arianna needs to tell him the truth. She’s surprised by his reaction, too. He goes above and beyond. Am I allowed to tell you what happens after that? What he does is very meaningful. Brady starts helping Arianna find the head of the drug cartel so they can end all this and she can be saved.

"He becomes her partner in crime. So not only do they have a love relationship but they’ll be working together, which I dig! That’s another realistic sort of thing you wouldn’t see on Passions. It’s a well-rounded relationship. Brady and Arianna not only get to be lovey-dovey but respect each other work-wise."

Crystal Chappell is back on Days of Our Lives.

The actress has brought back the role of Carly Manning, following the little issue of stabbing her husband Lawrence.

The character has returned in order to spice up the storyline for Bo and Hope. According to Peter Reckell, this is the "perfect soap opera story."

"There is all that conflict and turmoil," the actor told Entertainment Tonight. "Which direction do I go? When Carly was around before, Hope wasn't, so I totally fell in love with her. It is between a rock and a hard place. The fact that Bo and Hope are having problems, the feelings for Carly start to come up."

Days of Our Lives fans seem excited about the possibilities.

"I actually was really surprised at the response because the news came out when I went on a publicity tour for the Emmys," said Reckell. "Almost everybody I spoke to was really excited about Crystal coming back to the show."

On October 30, Louise Sorel reprises her role on Days of Our Lives as Vivian Alamain.

Yes, the same crazy wacko that famously buried Carly Manning alive in 1993.

The actress spoke to TV Guide Magazine about her return. The interview is excerpted below...

On Vivian's vengeful return: Carly has rudely stabbed Lawrence with a knife. I’m not sure why. He had some sort of illness or he turned into another person…I don’t quite understand the plot but it’s something like that. Carly will get caught in the murder but Vivian has her exonerated by having someone else confess to the crime.Vivian wants to be the one who tortures Carly.

On why she came back: Frankly, I don’t know. I was very unsettled by it. But you know actors! They call you with an invitation, and you still think you want to do this acting thing, and I did love the Vivian character. I can’t believe it’s been nine years since I played her. [

[Days of Our Lives exec producer] Gary Tomlin asked me to come back over the phone, sight unseen. He didn’t ask me how I’m looking these days. For all he knew, I’ve gained 250 pounds.
