TL;DR: Days of Our Lives welcomes back Alison Sweeney as Sami Brady on Friday, November 8, and she’s bringing explosive engagement news to Salem! Is Sami marrying Lucas Horton or someone completely unexpected? After her emotional return in August to grieve John Black’s passing, Sami’s back with happier news—but knowing Sami Brady, there’s bound to be drama surrounding this engagement!
Alison Sweeney Returns As Sami Brady
Alison Sweeney is back as Sami Brady on Friday, November 8! According to Swoon, Sami arrives in Salem from Italy with huge news—she’s engaged!
The big question on every DAYS fan’s mind: Is Sami engaged to Lucas Horton or someone new? Fans will find out when she returns for the gala on November 8!
Sami last appeared in Salem on Monday, August 4, when she and Marlena Evans navigated their grief over John Black’s passing. The emotional scenes brought tears as mother and daughter grappled with their new normal without John. Alison Sweeney delivered powerhouse performances as Sami processed the loss of her stepfather.
Now Sami’s back with happier news—an engagement! But knowing Sami Brady, there’s bound to be drama surrounding whoever put that ring on her finger!
Is Sami Engaged To Lucas Horton?
The most obvious candidate for Sami’s fiancé is Lucas Horton. Bryan Dattilo’s character has been Sami’s on-again, off-again love interest for decades. These two have history, chemistry, and a son together in Will Horton.
Lucas and Sami have broken up and gotten back together more times than anyone can count. They’ve been married, divorced, remarried, and divorced again. They’ve lied to each other, schemed against each other, and ultimately always found their way back to each other.
If Sami is engaged to Lucas, it would be a full-circle moment for one of DAYS‘ most iconic couples. Fans have been rooting for “Lumi” for years, hoping they’d finally get their happy ending!
But would it really be that straightforward? This is Sami Brady we’re talking about—the queen of complicated relationships and unexpected twists!

Could Sami Be Engaged To Someone New?
Here’s where things get interesting. What if Sami isn’t engaged to Lucas at all? What if she met someone completely new in Italy and fell head over heels?
Sami has been living in Italy, and we know very little about her life there. Has she been dating? Did she meet an Italian businessman? A charming local? Someone completely unexpected?
The spoilers deliberately leave the identity of Sami’s fiancé vague, which suggests there might be a surprise twist. If it were obviously Lucas, wouldn’t they just say so? The mystery surrounding the engagement hints that DAYS might be throwing fans a curveball!
Sami’s Romantic History Is… Complicated
Let’s be real—Sami Brady’s romantic history is one of the most complicated in soap opera history! She’s been involved with Lucas Horton, EJ DiMera, Austin Reed, Rafe Hernandez, and more. Her relationships have been passionate, dramatic, explosive, and rarely straightforward.
Sami has a pattern of falling in love quickly, making impulsive decisions, and then dealing with the chaotic consequences. An engagement announcement is very on-brand for Sami Brady—big, dramatic, and likely to cause waves in Salem!
Whoever Sami is engaged to, her return is bound to stir up old feelings, create new drama, and remind everyone why she’s one of the most iconic characters in DAYS history!
What Will Sami’s Return Mean For Salem?
Sami’s return always shakes things up in Salem. She has connections to nearly every major family in town—the Bradys, the DiMeras, the Hortons, the Blacks. Her presence inevitably creates ripples throughout Salem’s social circles.
If she’s engaged to Lucas, how will that affect the Horton family dynamics? Will Will be thrilled his parents are finally getting their happy ending? How will Allie react?
If she’s engaged to someone new, how will Lucas handle the news? Will he try to win Sami back? Will EJ DiMera have opinions about Sami’s new relationship?
And most importantly—will this engagement actually lead to a wedding, or will classic Sami Brady chaos derail everything before they make it down the aisle?
Alison Sweeney’s Last Return Was Emotional
When Alison Sweeney last returned to DAYS in August, it was for an emotional storyline surrounding John Black’s death. Drake Hogestyn’s passing in real life made the storyline even more poignant for longtime fans.
Sweeney and Deidre Hall delivered heartbreaking performances as Sami and Marlena processed their grief. The scenes were raw, emotional, and reminded everyone why Alison Sweeney is such a beloved part of the DAYS family.
Now Sweeney’s returning for a happier storyline—an engagement! After the heavy emotions of her last visit, it’ll be nice to see Sami celebrating something joyful. Even if that joy inevitably comes with Sami Brady-style drama!
