The actress was a regular on the show from 2016-18 and 2019-20, when Nelle fell to her presumed death after a heated confrontation with Carly. While the show is keeping the details of Nelle’s reappearance under wraps, Lanier reports that her comeback came about “when Frank [Valentini, executive producer] texted me. I was on a plane and he said that he had an idea for something [involving Nelle], and I was like, ‘Oh, okay, cool.’ He didn’t tell me what it was, but I was like, ‘Sure, that sounds great!’ ”
Once she officially signed on, though, tapping into her inner Nelle proved more challenging than she’d thought it would be. “I completely forgot how to play the character,” she groans. “I was looking at videos of Nelle online for days, like, ‘It has been two years since I had played this role. What did I even do? What were my speech patterns? How did I walk as Nelle?’ All of these things that were once so clicked in for me, I had totally forgotten how to do, but hopefully, it translated and I was able to slip back into character the way I did it before. I’m hoping!”
