“Just like riding a bike,” Reckell said the announcement. “And thank goodness they keep one at the ready for me in Salem. This ride is one we know the fans are really going to love. Stay tuned!”

Alfonso added “There is a saying I love: ‘Life takes you to unexpected places but love always brings you home,’” she shares. “Anyone who knows me knows how grateful I am to have all of you supporting me and welcoming me back when I’m back in Salem. These episodes with Pete will not disappoint.”

They last appeared on the show in 2022. Alfonso briefly returned in 2024 for the funeral of Hope’s TV dad Doug, played by the late Bill Hayes.

“Days of our Lives” streams daily on Peacock.
