Fans of Lani Grant will soon see her back on screen, as Sal Stowers returns to Days of Our Lives. The long-running Peacock soap opera has given fans a first look at her return in a newly released preview.
A preview for the week of April 20 through 24, 2026 was shared on the show’s official Youtube channel, offering viewers their first glimpse of Lani’s return to Salem.
In the promo, Chanel DiMera (Raven Bowns) is seen in Horton Town Square with her son Trey when she spots Lani. “Lani, oh my God!” she exclaims as her sister arrives.
Fans first got a hint of Lani’s return months earlier when her husband, Eli Grant told his grandmother Julie (Susan Seaforth Hayes) that their family would be returning to Salem permanently.
