The character is described who is described as being very interesting yet complicated. She’s also said to be stunningly beautiful. While many of Salem’s men will be interested in her for her mysterious past and incredible looks, she’ll reportedly have her heart set on one man. However, her love interest is said to push her away for her own good.
AnnaLynne McCord has reportedly signed a one-year contract with the soap opera. So, “Days of Our Lives” fans will seemingly get to know her new character very well.
