Thank you fans, like Ashna, for keeping us informed! Turns out the trio of Lindsay Hartley, Galen Gerring and Eric Martsolf from Passions will be reenacted in Salem. Current Ari, Felicia Terrell, has been let go to be replaced by the former Theresa. For those of you who didn’t watch Passions, Lindsay played the sister to Galen and love interest to Eric, just as she will on Days. I think it is a brilliant move. While the current Ari was growing on me, Days can draw in all the Passions viewers and build on an already proven amazing dynamic between these three actors. She has already started work and should be on air in a few weeks. I am psyched!



  • Kathryn

    Yea! I am so excited; not just to have the trio working together again, but because I think Lindsay is such a great little actress. What fun to have her and Ali Sweeney on together! A treat to be anticipated.

    What!! I like Arianna, why are they getting rid of her! They always get rid of the good ones and keep the dramatic ones (hence Daniel !!) okay I mean the actress that plays Arianna, I hope the new one is as good as the original.

  • cori mahle-kostya

    Love it!!

  • Laurie

    Thats really mean to just let “Ari” go!!! Why can’t Days just add Linsay Hartley in as another sister to Rafe & Ari?????? Maybe the more selfish sister that tries to steal her sister’s love interrest??? I am excited to see the trio from Passions back together as well, but I kinda like Ari too.

  • http://dragonflywhispers.com Sherie

    FINALLY!! I can’t stand the current Ari, she’s always got this bitch air about her.

  • Natalie Massey

    Ewwww…not too happy about this move! Don’t get me wrong, I watched Passions and loved Lindsey, but this Ari is already on Days and well…I like it how it is! They should know that we know Eric and Galen as “Days” stars now, not “Passions” stars. It’s all a little weird for me. Who cares if they already played together! That was another soap!!! Whatever…all they are doing is making the show even more “fake”.

  • Kristin

    YES!! I’m so happy I love Lindsey! I was a HUGE Passions fan and have been very sad ever since it went off the air. I can’t wait to see the chemistry between the 3 again. I do like the current Ari but I think this will help bring in more viewers for Days.

  • Kathryn

    this is AWESOME!!! I agree with Sherie this Ari has a bitch air about her…she is not likeable at all…the trio back together is awesome….especially since Passions storyline was WAY TOO DRAWN OUT. It will be cool to see them in a better storyline. Totally smart move!!!

  • Julie

    I loved Passions and the trio about to come to days, but…….if Passions couldn’t hang in on major cable networks, moved to Direct TV only, and obviously bombed there what is this going to do to Days? Just a thought!

  • Destiny

    I like the original Arianna better, but I can’t believe that she’s going to be replaced too soon!!!! I mean she & Rafe JUST got on the show especially Arianna, man good ones get replaced and leave so soon!

  • http://www.facebook.com/pandababy Karen

    YAY !!! It will be so great to see them all back together again. I really hope that Lindsey and Eric get together again. Just as they were in Passions. That would be so awesome to see them back together as a couple. They were my favorite couple in Passions. This is going to be SO COOL !! Welcome to Days Of Our Lives, Lindsey !!

    I think it’s great! I loved “Teresa & Ethan” together on Passions and it will be great to see them now as “Ari & Brady” on Days. It’s funny that she also gets to play Rafe’s sister just like on Passions. I like it! Just watched a re-run of Entourage on HBO and “Ari” was a background bikini girl hanging out with Vince in Mexico.

  • Kris

    I am really happy about Lindsay coming to Days. I really did enjoy the chemstry between the three of them when they were on Passons. Let’s hope that Days stays on the air.

  • Patrice Torrillo

    I was so excited to hear this news.. I Loved Passions and was so sad to see it go off the air….
    I loved Lindsay and I am so happy to see.. Theresa and Ethan together again. Opps I mean Ari and Brady… lol

    OMG Days better stay on the air!!!

  • joann

    Love itl

  • samantha

    I am so excited. Don’t get me wrong, I like the Ari that’s on there now, but I was a big fan of Passions and am happy to to see 3 of the characters join Days. Way cool. Way to go Days. Smart move. Can’t wait to see how this all plays out.

  • LL65

    Interesting factoid. I just watch the T.O. show (Terrell Owens) and the 1st Ari (Felicia Terrell) is played by TO’s ex-fiance. Small TV wold.

    Didnt watch Passion but I’m happy for those who think this is a good move.

  • samantha

    I was gonna say the same thing about the Ari now about her being the ex-fiance of Terell Owens. I caught that show the other as well as was surprised. Maybe that’s way she’s leaving Days. Well lots of luck to the old Aria and to the new Ari. The new Ari was great as Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald on Passions. I think she will fit right in.

  • Dena

    Yes! Theresa and Ethan are reunited! The current Ari has a snobby air to her.

  • Melissa

    Totally agree with most that this Ari has a bitchy air about her, I think the new girl will just sail in and noone will miss the old one.

  • scarletdreamworld

    This is so cool , I love Lindsey Hartley!!! She is my favorite from passions… Ethan, Theresa, and Gwen… Now Brady, Arianna, and Nicole… the Love triangle is coming after Nicole gets dumped… I can not wait for Nicole to get dumped… and I can not wait for Sami to find out about Nicole’s baby switch…I am excited…

  • Barbara

    I have to agree. I never liked Ari and her attitude. Love Brady. Still like to see Sami with Rafe. Nicole is excellent actress.

  • Barbara

    Enough with Kate and her wedding rings, even though she is not married.She is getting very annoying. Would love to see Chloe and Daniel together.

  • Edith

    Peronally I could do without the whole “Teresa – Ethan” thing again. That was getting so old before on Passions. I can only hope the Days writers DO NOT follow that type of story line! I have watched Days since I was a kid and my mom watched it, and bringing that ongoing never ending drama would drive me away.

  • Jennifer

    I never watched Passions so I guess I’ll have to wait and see if I like the new Ari.

  • Angela

    Positively brilliant move! I can’t wait. I do hope that the current Ariana can find another gig though. It doesn’t seem fair.

  • Linda

    Just when you start to get into a character, they pull them out..why?????? Ari is great. I wish they’d keep her.
    Where has Mickey disappeared too? Would love to see Alice even if she’s crocheting.
    I also think Kate’s poisoning is going to put Lucas in jail.
    When is Nicole suppose to get pregnant, must be soon, since they went upstairs to ‘relax’
    Keep Rafe w/ Sammy. I want to see Marlena and John again.

  • Jo

    It should be interesting to see how it goes with Lindsey. She seems like she has a different personality then the current “Ari”, which is a good think. I liked her on Passions a lot. It’s funny how I always thought that “Theresa” was similar to “Sami” as they were both very sneeky and would stop at nothing to get what they wanted. Especially when it came to the man they loved (i.e. Ethan & Austin).

  • Jenn

    I am sorry to be negative, but I didn’t think the actress who played Theresa was very good at all on Passions. I thought she was annoying and overdramatic. I think this Ari is a great actress, and I hate to see her go. I don’t think this is a good move. Why would you want to bring back all of the actors/actresses from a show that failed, especially when you are trying to save this one? I like Rafe and Brady, but I think thats enough.

  • Jenn

    I meant the actress that played Ari was a good actress.

  • KALLY

    I couldn’t be happier about this. I was a Passions fan big time and I loved the Theresa and Ethan chem. Now with Galen, Lindsay and Eric all being back together its gonna make Days that much better. I really didn’t like the current actress. I dont like the whole stuck up better than you act. yeah its a script but she plays it way to easily. I’ve been watch Days for as long as I watched Passion and I love them both. Although I have to say, I love Eric as Brady but I still miss Kyle Lowder

  • KALLY

    Jenn, think about it this way. A show that you say failed, failed with still 1.6 million viewers. Those Actors and actresses where loved by those viewers. Thats a possible 1.6 million more viewers for days. Why not take the chance on bringing on people who where already love over someone who no one knows.

  • Terressa Kennedy

    ALRIGHT!!!!!!! I was hoping that they would send some of the former PASSIONS cast members over to DOOL! I was so disappointed first to find out that they had moved PASSIONS to directv and then that it had been dropped as well. They were a great cast, the show just had lousy writers. How these people dealt with repeating the same lines day after day after day after…… see what I mean???lol Now, if we could only get PILAR on there as the mother to these two, it would be great. I loved her too and i absolutely loved Pilar’s kitchen on PASSIONS. That was off the hook! OK, I got a little bit off the main thing here, but Welcome Lindsay and i hope for God’s sake they let you do something besides cry all day long in this one. You had to get tired of that one! LOVE YA ALL!!!!

  • Marcia

    I loved Passions, but got bored with the Teresa/Ethan thing. Not because of the actors, but the repetitious sniveling for Teresa and no backbone Ethan story lines. Not to mention Sheridan and Whosits never really getting together.

    I am hoping Days’ writers give them all a little more life!

  • Kathy Ford: I agree with you Dseubert and I think Rafe is the person who has managed to make her happy for once, They just need to straighten out their problems.
