“We had so many stories that were set up for so long and set up over the missing year with that baby switch and Adrienne’s death,” says Carlivati. “Now we’re in this chapter of, where does it go from here? So even though there’s a lot of rollout, it’s a really great time to jump in, and an exciting time for the audience to see some new, fresh stories starting.”

Rex/Sarah: “When we had Sarah flee the country with baby Mickey, who is really baby Rachel, we decided to use Paris because we have this lovely set of Abigail and Chad’s apartment from when we did ‘Chad & Abby In Paris’ on the DOOL App. When you have somebody flee the country, the problem is, who are they going to interact with? We kind of went through some possibilities and ultimately we thought of Rex. She was engaged to him and he’s part of the family, and has a vested interest in where this baby belongs. We came up with that idea and then we reached out to Kyle [Lowder, Rex] to see if he would be available. Because Rex doesn’t live in Salem, we thought it was possible that he’s not aware of what’s going on and that she’s not supposed to have this baby. So, we had some fun with that.”
