But her quick response to a fan’s question cleared up ongoing speculation about her soap opera return.
Arianna Zucker’s Instagram Update Sparks Questions
Arianna Zucker recently posted a glamorous picture on Instagram, reminding fans of her undeniable charm. In her caption, she wrote, “Miss me on DOOL?! I miss you, too! I would love to see 👀 you. If you are in the L.A. area come join me for a beautiful evening w/ @freewildhorses October 9, 2025, 6:00-9:00 PM at Gracias Madre, West Hollywood.”
The post immediately drew attention from her followers. Fans filled the comments section with love and questions. Many praised her beauty, while others wanted answers about her future on Days of Our Lives. One particular question stood out and quickly fueled fresh speculation.
A fan asked directly in the comments, “Are you secretly returning?” Zucker did not ignore the question, and her reply was clear. She responded, “I have seen those rumors too, but no! 😏”
That one response ended the speculation. Despite constant chatter about Nicole Walker’s future, Zucker seems firm in her decision. She has previously shared her frustrations with the show’s producers and confirmed she has no current plans to return.
Even with her clear statement, the comments were flooded with heartfelt messages. Fans expressed how much they miss seeing Nicole in Salem. They reminisced about Zucker’s emotional storylines and praised her ability to bring life to complex plots.
For viewers, Nicole’s absence still feels fresh. Her storyline ended in 2024 with an off-screen move to Paris. While rumors of a possible recast continue, Zucker’s presence remains unmatched in the hearts of longtime fans.
What This Means For Days Of Our Lives
Arianna Zucker’s exit left a major gap on Days of Our Lives. Nicole Walker has been central to many dramatic arcs over the years. Her departure shifted storylines for characters like Eric Brady, Holly Jonas, and others deeply connected to Nicole’s journey.
For now, it seems the soap will keep Nicole off-screen, only mentioned occasionally. Zucker’s public stance makes a return unlikely. Still, as fans know, in Salem anything is possible. Recasting remains an option, but it would be a difficult decision for the show.
Arianna Zucker’s latest Instagram post reminded everyone how deeply she is missed on Days of Our Lives. Her direct response to fans confirmed that she has no plans to return. For now, Nicole remains off-screen, but Salem fans can always hope. Stay tuned to Soap Opera Daily for more updates and spoilers.
