The week of April 7-11 will prove to be an explosive one, as Vivian Alamain, played by Louise Sorel, also returns.

Viewers will see her return during the Friday, April 11 show, looking to claim what is rightfully hers. While she is a villainess, fans just love to hate the vile Vivian, who was last seen on the show in late 2024.

Rex Brady Return

As if Sami and Vivian aren’t enough, Rex Brady will also make a major Salem comeback, resurfacing during the April 10 episode.

He’ll share scenes with his mom, Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow), on Thursday, as well as his dad, Roman Brady (Josh Taylor), on the April 11 show.

Ava Vitali Exit

In sad news, Ava Vitali has officially exited Salem, as Tamara Braun’s run on the soap has come to an end.

Braun’s final appearance was on Thursday, April 3 and she confirmed the departure news on Instagram, ironically posting it on April 1 – April Fool’s Day. She noted in the caption, “I wish this was an April Fool’s Joke, but it’s not.”
