Summary

- Lexie Carver, previously played by Renee Jones, was thought dead.
- Crawford aims to honor the original portrayal while making the character her own.
Nikki Crawford is set to debut as Lexie Carver on Days of Our Lives on March 6, stepping into a role previously held by Renee Jones. The character, thought to be deceased, is making a surprising return to the show after being kept alive by Dr. Rolf.
Crawford, who has 25 years of industry experience, described her transition into soap acting as both exhilarating and daunting due to its rapid pace. She approaches the role by embodying Lexie as if she had been in a coma for the past 15 years, driven by love and family.
The actress acknowledged the challenge of taking over a character portrayed so iconically by Jones. Crawford's goal is to build upon the foundation created by Jones, aiming to bring truth and honor to Lexie for the dedicated audience. She teases that Lexie's reappearance will create significant drama, particularly for the married couple Abe and Paulina.
As Days of Our Lives films months in advance, the episodes featuring Crawford's Lexie, taped last summer, are now airing. She is eager for viewers to see how this new iteration of Lexie connects with the ongoing storylines and shakes things up.
Crawford believes Lexie's relatability stems from her willingness to fight for what she loves, signaling a dynamic return that promises to captivate the audience and stir up existing relationships on the show.
