“Days of our Lives” fans will see an unfamiliar face in a familiar role when soap newcomer Natasha Hall temporarily replaces Jessica Serfaty as Sloan Petersen for at least three episodes during the week of March 4-8, 2024.
Hall, best known for playing Yvette over three episodes in “The Kominsky Method” during the third season of the Netflix original series, will appear in scenes alongside several Salemites, including Jamie Martin Mann (Tate), Emily O Brien (Theresa) and Greg Vaughan (Eric), among others.
Soap Opera Digest, which first reported the news, did not provide a reason for the temporary recast. Meanwhile, the current storyline sees Sloan dealing with the guilt of knowing that Jude, the child she and Eric are raising, is actually Nicole (Arianne Zucker) and Eric’s biological baby.
“When and if Nicole and Eric learn the truth will be something to tune in for!” teased the show’s executive producer, Ken Corday, in previewing what’s to come in 2024 on the daytime drama series in an interview with TV Insider “Soap Dish” columnist Stephanie Sloane.
During Hall’s short run as Sloan, look for her to appear in scenes surrounding baby Jude’s christening, which will also be attended by John and Marlena (Drake Hogestyn and Deidre Hall). Hall’s episodes were taped in late September 2023 due to the show’s advanced tape-to-air schedule, which has been seeing some tightening up in recent months.
