Kyle Lowder is returning to Days of our Lives but not in the role of Brady Black, which he played from 2000-05. Eric Martsolf assumed the role of Brady in 2008 while Lowder was on The Bold and the Beautiful (as Rick). “DAYS has always been very close to my heart. To be part of this family and this energy is truly special to me,” said Lowder in an interview with Soap Opera Digest.
While DAYS hasn’t officially announced who Lowder will be playing, rumour has it that he’ll step into the role of Rex Brady (which was played by Eric Winter from 2002-05). Farah Fath is also coming back as Mimi Lockheart for a “handful of episodes.” As DAYS films months in advance, no word yet on their first airdates.
