This is the scoop Nelson Branco posted on The Envelope's Daytime Emmy Forum:

So. This. Is. The. Scoop. And I'm posting it here because it's Friday and my SUDS is up already and I'm sure SOD or SPW will beat me to it before I post/file again next week.

Tamara is playing someone from Steve's past! She first airs — though perhaps not her face — on Feb. 8.

All the Carly's are back on daytime. Well, except what's-her-name Jennifer Bradsford-or-whatever.

^^ "Carly" and "Stefan" !!! LOL

I think I just lost a bit of excitement if she's gonna be thrown into the Steve and Kayla universe.

Then I'll bet the "Bo" in the casting call for Marnie was really Steve! Well this should be interesting although Stephen Nichols is like twenty years older than TB, but Peter Reckell is only like six or seven years behind so it would have been a stretch with her being Megan, Britta, or whoever either way.

Yeah, another one of Steve's ex that he doesn't remember?

I'd rather her be Megan and part of the Dimera universe. Her in scenes with Joe M...oh yeah!!

I don't care who she plays, I'm just so happy she's going to be on DAYS!

I'm still a bit excited about TB coming but I must agree, Megan probably would have been better but this character should be good either way.

I'm with you...i don't want to jump any guns until we actually see what her connection to steve is:)

If she isn't Sara Horton, and I really wish she was! lol Then, I would much rather Tamara play a character from Steve's past. ENOUGH of the dead characters; Megan is dead! Steve was gone for many years and this is woman will be from his past. I would love if we learn that Steve has his entire memory back from those years, and has kept it from Kayla. and this will give Nichols a juicy story.

Ugh, I guess this is another reason to NOT watch Days.....

If ABC loved her so much, she would never have left the show in 2005. They allowed her to go. They didn't want to give her what she wanted, nor what she was worth. Only after their plan didn't work out with JB did they come crawling back. I'm glad she stood her ground.

not to start anything, but honestly it also feels like Days is a sinking ship and has been for a while. Its hard to get extatic about anything when NBC doesnt seem commited or care about the soap or genre. Good for Tamara for getting a job but as a fan of hers, I cant get too excited

I still love that she's joining DAYS but meh to her being involved with Steve and Kayla. I was enjoying them without a third party, Braun or not.

You disappoint me......

LOL it had to happen sometime

I used to like her years ago, but dunno, just don't care for her anymore. Watching clips of her now as Carly make me shudder, it was both the writing for the character and the acting IMO...

YAY!!!!! I'm so excited about this news! Days is on a roll once again!!!!!!
