Days of Our Lives: Teen Arianna Recast’s Story Begins in May – Marissa Reyes’ Role Confirmed

Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that the teen Arianna Horton recast’s story arc will begin in May.

CDL previously speculated that Marissa Reyes would be playing an aged-up Arianna – and now SOD has confirmed she’s indeed playing a teenage version of the character.

Reyes will make her debut in the role as the month of May winds down.

Although Reyes is coming back on the scene as part of a multi-month story arc, it looks like she’ll stick around beyond that arc since she’s seemingly still filming.

Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera) recently posted a behind-the-scenes photo that featured Marissa Reyes on set, so that’s good news if you’re excited about this recast and the excitement a teen Ari could add to the canvas.

DOOL viewers may recall that Arianna is the daughter of Will Horton (Chandler Massey) and Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez), but she’s spent a good chunk of her life off-screen.

There seems to be some confusion among Days fans over where Arianna lives at the moment, so let’s recap her living situation since she’s made a few moves in recent years.

Arianna lived in Arizona with Will and Sonny Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) for a while – though she did come home to Salem for appearances here and there.

Lane Rosa was the last actress to play the part during one of those stints in Salem.

Sonny and Will later took Arianna with them to live in New Zealand, but they eventually moved back to Arizona – at least based on Lucas Horton’s (Bryan Dattilo) exit in June 2024 since he went there for a family visit after his prison sentence was commuted.

Days spoilers say Arianna is on the verge of yet another major move since she’s obviously coming back to live with her mom.

Gabi will have plenty of Ari chaos to deal with now that she’s suddenly a teenager, especially considering how much drama teens tend to cause on Days!

Arianna may end up being a new rival for Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) once she returns to the canvas, so Holly could make some alarming predictions about the trouble ahead.

Days of Our Lives spoilers hint that Arianna may ultimately take an interest in Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer), so stick with us for any romantic updates following Marissa Reyes’ May debut.
