Alice Halsey is set to reprise her role as Rachel Black on Days of Our Lives for a short stint!

Halsey actually filmed her (almost) handful of episodes just last week, but because the show shoots so far in advance, viewers won’t see her back on screen until 2027. Stephanie Sloane reported in her weekly newsletter that Rachel’s current portrayer, Lorelei Olivia Mote, hit a scheduling conflict. As a result, Alice stepped back into her old shoes for just four episodes.

And as for Alice? She absolutely loved heading back to her old stomping grounds!

“It was very exciting. My parents told me that I would be coming back for a few more episodes, and I was so happy,” she shared with Stephanie. She was clearly over the moon to reunite with her DAYS family.

Halsey is fresh off a major career milestone after being nominated for her work on the show in the Outstanding Emerging Talent category. She shared the nomination spot with fellow stars Ambyr Michelle (Eva, Beyond the Gates), Braedyn Bruner (Emma, General Hospital), Arielle Prepetit (Naomi, Beyond the Gates), Giovanni Mazza (Gio, General Hospital), and Al Calderon (ex-Javi, Days of Our Lives), with Michelle taking home the statuette on Daytime Emmys night.

Outside of Salem, Halsey is staying super busy. She currently plays the lead role of Laura Ingalls in Netflix’s adaptation of Little House on the Prairie.

Soap fans will remember that Halsey previously played Rachel Black from April 24, 2025, to March 2026. The role of Rachel has seen a few recasts over the years on Peacock. While Lorelei Mote currently plays the character, Rachel has also been brought to life by Finley Rose Slater, Alice Halsey, Josephine and Rosalind May, and as an infant by Emma, Kate, and Miller Kamienski.

    I’d be happy with Days Of Our Lives returning to NBC.
