• 'Days' Alison Sweeney Snags First Daytime Emmy Nod, Talks Returning for 50th Anniversary

    Alison Sweeney spent 22 years portraying the character of Sami Brady on 'Days of Our Lives,' and this week she finally snagged her first Daytime Emmy nomination for Outstanding Lead Actress. Sweeney announced last year that she would be leaving the soap opera in order to pursue a multitude of other projects, but she remained totally invested in the character and her work until Days sent Brady off to start a new life in Hollywood, conveniently leaving the door open for the actress to return. She also talked about her return for the show's 50th anniversary. Why did this year click for Sweeney and what made her scenes stand out enough to merit an Emmy nod? Even she is not exactly sure.
