Days of Our Lives Alum Arianne Zucker Returns to the Screen This Friday the 13th — and Wait Till You See the Creepy Way How!

It hasn’t quite been the same since Days of Our Lives’ Nicole said an emotional goodbye before leaving Salem for good with Eric and Jude back in July of 2024. And fans of the former daytime actress are about to get a real scare this week when she makes a big return to the screen.

This Friday, February 13, Zucker will be seen alongside Hallmark fan favorite actor Kristoffer Polaha in the comedy, horror flick Mimics. The latter leads the cast as Sam Reinhold, a down-on-his-luck impressionist, who makes a deal with Fergus, a wicked, strings-attached puppet, that promises to drive him straight up the ladder to stardom. However, during the process, a nightmare is unleashed — one that threatens the safety of those Sam holds near and dear.

Check out the official trailer below and get a look at Zucker as The Madam.

Those who’ve been following Zucker since she left daytime behind know she’d been in legal battle with Albert Alarr, the soap’s former producer, executive producer Ken Corday and his company, Corday Productions, which was settled in October of 2025. And prior to that, she married her longtime love and fellow castmate Shawn Christian (ex-Daniel).

We can’t wait to see the actress back on the screen and if you’d like to know more about her new movie, including showtimes and where to get tickets, visit Mimics today.
