Marissa Reyes is totally new to the daytime soap opera scene, but honestly, she feels like a natural! Stepping into the role of Arianna Horton on Days of Our Lives on May 20, Reyes made an immediate impression. Here’s a breakdown of our soap grade!
it’s not every day that a fresh face joins a soap and instantly steals the show, but Reyes did just that in one scene where she surprised her mom, Gabi (Cherie Jimenez), and cousin Javi (Al Calderon), and JJ (Casey Moss), when she popped into the Hernandez kitchen. That one scene was enough to show she’s got the chops for soap stardom. Emotional depth? Check. Natural presence? Absolutely. A flair for drama? She’s nailing it
Let’s be real—soap operas move at lightning speed, and unlike other types of shows, you only get one shot to nail your scenes! Reyes didn’t just hold her own—she thrived. She’s quickly proving to be a dynamic addition to the cast, bringing the perfect mix of energy, vulnerability, and charisma. And yes, she looks like she can totally tackle those emotional storylines if thrown her way. Her style is on point, and in our soap grade—which is tough to earn—we’re giving her an A+.
