TAMARA BRAUN ON DAYS COMEBACK

Ava Vitali is back on the DAYS scene, which marks the return of Tamara Braun, whose alter ego was last seen heading to Bayview sanitarium, after blowing up a church and orchestrating the death of Susan Banks.

“I received a call from Albert [Alarr, co-executive producer] saying that he was curious if I would be willing to come back,” recounts Braun. “He had an idea and wanted to know my thoughts on it. That’s how it came about.”

Braun was on board for another run. “I’m back. I absolutely love Ava,” Braun declares. “She’s had different incarnations. Some I’ve enjoyed better than others, but what’s beautiful about her is that she has so many layers to her, and there’s a lot of history there. It’s always fun to see what avenue whoever’s writing at the time is going to take with her. I was interested to see where she was going to go this time. Even when they let you know, you never really know where it’s ultimately going to go. That definitely keeps you on your toes and keeps it fun and exciting and new.”

Although it had been 10 months since Braun stopped filming at DAYS, once she stepped foot back on set, “It was the same in a lot of ways,” she notes. “I was excited to see my cast members and the crew that are so wonderful. People who work at DAYS really enjoy one another. It’s a nice thing. Whenever I’ve come and gone, it’s always a lovely welcome and a sad good-bye.”
