Days of Our Lives spoilers remind fans that Halsey played Rachel from April 2025 to March 2026; Lorelei Olivia Mote succeeded Halsey in the role later in March 2026.
As previously reported in our Rachel Black recast coverage, Mote stepped into the role following Halsey’s departure.
Mote recently had a scheduling conflict, so Halsey reprised the character for four shows.
These episodes will air in 2027.
Halsey told SoapSteph’s Daytime Dish newsletter, “It was very exciting. My parents told me I would be coming back for a few more episodes.”

She goes on to say, “I was so happy. I was freaking out. I was like, ‘I get to go back to Days? I get to see everyone again!’”
Reunited & It Feels So Good
As it turns out, Halsey’s onscreen parents were just as excited to learn she was returning, even if it was for a short while.
The young actress went on to tell SoapSteph, “It was incredible. I reunited with Stacy [Haiduk – Kristen DiMera] at the Emmys, actually, which was hugs and screams and smiles and pretty much chaos.”
Halsey also revealed that reuniting with Eric Martsolf (Brady Black) was the same thing.
She told SoapSteph how much she loves both her Days of Our Lives parents.
In Halsey’s words, “They’re the best. They’re really like best friends to me on the set.”
Haiduk felt the very same way when she learned Halsey was returning.
She told SoapSteph, “Oh, my gosh, it was such a treat (to have Halsey back on set).”
The actress added, “I have loved all my Rachels. I loved Finley [Rose Slater], I love Lorelei, I love Alice.”
Haiduk noted that any one of the “Rachels” could come back and she’d be happy to work with them.
She went on to say, “They’re all just really, really talented and such loving people.”
Fans have certainly seen plenty of drama surrounding Rachel, including her emotional reunion with Kristen DiMera.
Meanwhile, additional casting changes are expected in 2027, making Halsey’s brief return another interesting development for viewers.
Annemarie’s Take
I think it’s wonderful that Alice Halsey gets to return, even if it’s only for four episodes. She made quite an impression as Rachel, and it’s especially nice to hear how close she remains with Stacy Haiduk and Eric Martsolf.
I’m curious to see what kind of trouble Rachel will be getting into when Alice returns. After all, this is Kristen DiMera’s daughter we’re talking about!
Are you excited that Alice Halsey is coming back … even if it is just for four shows?
