Sal Stowers Learned A Lot About Herself During Her Break From Days

Robert Waldron
Going Strong

In December 2015, Sal Stowers was let go from her role as Lani Price on DAYS. Five months later, she received a text that sent her heart soaring. “It was from Marnie [Saitta, casting director] saying, ‘Hey! The show wants you back!’ ” recounts the actress. “I was floored. It was so unexpected. I just remember being so happy. I couldn’t wait to come back.”

The invitation to return came just as Stowers was recovering from a fall. “There’s no good story about it,” she laughs. “It was one of those clumsy things that just happened. I went to bed that night, and I didn’t think anything of it. The next morning, I woke up and realized, ‘Okay, something is definitely wrong here.’ I went to the emergency room and found out I broke my patella. It was not a fun time.”

The injury to Stowers’s knee rendered her immobile. “My mom came down [from Madera, CA]. I couldn’t do anything. I was pretty much either in the bed or on the couch. I probably watched every Netflix series you can think of. I spent a lot of downtime just recovering and getting my health back together. I stayed in class. I was auditioning. But the most important thing was getting back on my feet.”

After she recovered, Stowers was understanably thrilled to be shooting at DAYS once again. “A lot of people didn’t know that I was coming back,” she relays. “So when I first walked into hair and makeup, everyone was surprised to see me. There was a lot of excitement from everyone.
