Days of Our Lives: Lexie's Resurrection Hangs by a Thread
20 Jun
Summary
- Lexie Carver, absent since 2012, has been resurrected in a new storyline.
- The character is now played by a different actress, Nikki Crawford.
- Lexie may not survive due to a negative reaction to a resurrection drug.
In a surprising and controversial turn of events, the soap opera Days of Our Lives has brought back the character Lexie Carver in a new storyline airing in 2025. Originally portrayed by Renée Jones, who retired from the role in June 2012, Lexie's character was written out permanently that year.
Jones had explained her departure was due to a desire for a quieter life, wanting to return to farming and nature. The writers assured her Lexie's exit would be final. Her poignant death scene in June 2012 saw her pass away peacefully in her husband Abe Carver's arms during a backyard picnic.
Years later, in 2025, Lexie's brother, E.J. DiMera, began experimenting with resurrection. This led to the surprising return of Lexie, now played by actress Nikki Crawford. The current storyline is unfolding as Lexie appears to be suffering severe adverse effects from the resurrection drug, leaving her survival uncertain.
Fans have been reflecting on Lexie's original death, sharing fond memories and expressing sadness over her exit back in 2012 on social media.
