'Days of Our Lives' Spoilers: Alison Sweeney on Leaving the Show, Jan. 19- 23 Spoilers
Last year, fans of "Days of Our Lives" were surprised when Alison Sweeney announced that she was leaving the soap opera after 21 years of playing Sami Bradi. Many are still hoping that the actress would return, and before the Christmas episode of the show aired last month, it was rumored that she would return, but that didn't happen.
In a recent interview on "Larry King Now," Sweeney explained why she had to say goodbye to the show that has been her home for more than two decades.
"I was doing full time jobs working at 'Days of Our Lives' and hosting 'The Biggest Loser,'" she told King. "It just got to be too much … Watching my son go into the third grade and my daughter start kindergarten, I realized that I was missing out on a lot and they were missing out on a lot."
Sweeney said that leaving the show was difficult for her, especially since she has worked so hard to become an actress.
"I've been an actress since I was four years old, so it's been my lifelong dream," said Sweeney.
