Days of Our Lives spoilers and updates reveal we could be getting an older Arianna Horton (last played by Lane Rosa).

It appears that Gabi Hernandez ( Cherie Jimenez) and Will Horton’s (Chandler Massey) daughter is set to be aged up-let’s discuss this significant change and the new addition to the  cast.

Some Background Information

Arianna received her name in honor of her two late aunts, Grace DiMera (Ailisha and Julia O’Connor), who tragically passed away as an infant due to bacterial meningitis, and Arianna Hernandez (Lindsey Hartley).

She was conceived after a brief encounter between Will and Gabi, and was born unexpectedly in a cabin, delivered  by Sonny  Kiriakis (Zach Tinker) when Gabi went into labor.

For a time, she was raised together by Gabi, Will, and Sonny, but during one of Gabi’s prison sentences, she relocated to Arizona with Will and Sonny.

Arianna Grace Horton hasn’t been seen on the show for several years, so her age progression seems about right if indeed, Marissa Reyes will be playing her. She’ll be in the senior high-early college age set along with the current teen scene on the show.

Hints In Dan Feurreriegel’s Recent Instagram Story

In a recent Instagram story, Dan Feuerriegel, known for his role as EJ DiMera, shared a playful photo featuring Marissa Reyes alongside Cherie Jimenez and Al Calderon, who plays Javi Hernandez.

Reyes has also been seen in various cast-related images from the Peacock soap and has numerous connections within the DOOL community on Instagram. It’s clear that Reyes is part of the show, leaving fans curious about her character.

There have been whispers lately about the potential return of Arianna, now a bit older. Introducing another significant character in the teenage demographic seems logical, especially since Ari is likely to be at least 18, similar to Holly Jonas, portrayed by Ashley Puzemis.

Arianna May Be Paired Up With Doug Williams III

There are whispers circulating about a potential pairing between Arianna and Doug Williams III (Peyton Meyer), which is something to keep in mind!

Ari might make a return to Salem and capture Doug’s interest, particularly if Holly reconnects with Tate Black ( Leo Howard). It seems likely that Reyes is indeed stepping into the role of a recast Arianna.

Currently, Ari has been residing with Will and Sonny in Arizona, but she appears ready to move in with Gabi in Salem in the near future. Gabi has certainly felt the absence of Arianna, so she would be overjoyed if her daughter decides to make Salem her permanent home.

Teenagers Can Be Problematic!

Teenage soap characters often come with their fair share of challenges and drama, which means Gabi might find herself quite busy! As Marissa Reyes’ debut approaches, we’ll have more story predictions to share, so keep an eye out for updates on her character’s journey.
