‘Days of Our Lives’: Kristian Alfonso to Return as Hope Brady

Kristian Alfonso reported back to work at the Days of our Lives set Monday, April 22, as Hope Brady to take part in the show’s on-air tribute to Bill Hayes, who played her on-screen father, Doug Williams.

“My return is very bittersweet, because it is the end of an era with Bill gone,” Alfonso begins. “So to return to Days is very sad. I am appreciative that they came to me to include me in their series of shows honoring Doug and I’m very happy to see everyone, but I’m entering the studio with a heavy heart.”
