After a photo of Marissa Reyes began circulating online last week, wherein she could be seen posing alongside “Days of our Lives” actors Al Calderon (Javi Hernandez), Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez) and Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera), fans of the daytime drama series began wondering if the actress had joined the show’s cast and, if so, who she’d be playing.

“All my favorite people in one photo,” was the caption on the photo, first published on Feuerriegel’s Instagram story timeline.

According to Soap Opera Digest, Reyes will indeed be entering the world of Salem, making her daytime debut next month as an aged-up Arianna Horton, Gabi and Will Horton’s (Chandler Massey) daughter.

If the character’s name sounds familiar, you’ll recall that Arianna is named after her deceased aunt who died in 2010 after she was tragically hit by a car driven after she ran away from Will following her prior confrontation with Sami (Alison Sweeney), who was shocked to learn that Arianna knew that it was her that had shot EJ (then played by James Scott).

Ironically, the Arianna who is returning to Salem next month comes just weeks after EJ was again shot, this time by a mystery individual. Even more ironic, Sami is also back in town just after the incident as well, albeit that has more to do with her son with EJ, Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), learning the truth about his conception.

Citing a spokesperson for the show, Soap Opera Digest notes that Reyes joins the show in May for a multi-month story arc.

With credits including “That Girl Lay Lay” and “Raven’s Home,” among others, this year has been a big one for Reyes as the actress has made appearances in several high profile projects including a recurring role on Netflix’s “Running Point” starring Kate Hudson and Prime Video’s “Bosch: Legacy” starring Titus Welliver, the latter of which just concluded its third and final season while the former was recently picked up for a second season.

She’ll next appear in the film “The Evilry,” starring Teri Polo (“Loving”), Faye Dunaway and Dylan Walsh (“Nip/Tuck”), among others.

Will/Sonny and Gabi do not need to be 30 year old grandparents.

And Sami definitely doesn’t need to be a 50 year old great-grandmother
