Deadline confirms Sydney Malakeh as Sydney DiMera. Also confirms casting of Franco LoPresti as Dante, and says he is tied to Sami (so most likely the Dante that Sami is engaged to).

https://deadline.com/2026/09/days-of-our-lives-casts-samis-daughter-1237065720/

Days of Our Lives has snapped up Heated Rivalry star Franco LoPresti to play Dante Vitali, Sami Brady's fiancé.

So Sami's daughter and fiancé are coming to Salem this month but she's not back until next June?

Make it make sense.

How old is Sydney meant to be now? I can't say the photos are a great sign, but we'll see. She reminds me more of a recast for Ciara.

But, where are they getting all this money from? 😂😂

Anyways, I'm looking forward to seeing what happens. Sydney's basically a blank slate, and there's so much that they can do with her. Hopefully, she has scenes with her brother, Johnny

In the actual timeline, she's only supposed to be two years younger than Johnny, but with SORAS'ing, who knows?
