Salem’s about to get a fresh new face with a very familiar name!
According to Soap Opera Digest, Days of Our Lives has officially recast the role of Arianna Grace Horton, the daughter of legacy characters Will Horton and Gabi Hernandez. The character, who was last seen in 2023 after moving to New Zealand with her dads, Will and Sonny, will be returning to Salem this May—only this time, she’s all grown up and entering her teen years!
Meet The New Arianna Horton
The recast has gone to Marissa Reyes, a rising star who’s new to daytime but already making waves in primetime and film. Born in Houston, TX on November 10, 2003, Reyes has appeared in Bosch: Legacy, Raven’s Home, and the spooky fan-favorite Spirit Halloween.
Arianna Horton was born on-screen in 2013 and has had several young actresses portray her over the years, including twins Harper and Sydnee Udell (2013–2019), Sydney Brower (2019–2020), and most recently, Lane Rosa in 2022. Now that the character is aging into her teen years, Reyes will bring a whole new layer to Ari’s story—and fans are buzzing about what’s in store.
Will Ari follow in her parents' dramatic footsteps? Will she clash or connect with the next generation of Salemites?
