Rex Brady is heading back to Salem, and Days of Our Lives fans are in for an emotional ride. Kyle Lowder, who returns to the screen on Thursday, April 10, opens up about what makes this comeback so personal. This short-term Days of Our Lives storyline dives into Rex’s deep connection with his family—and Kyle Lowder couldn’t be more grateful.
Rex Comes Back for His Mother
Lowder reveals that Rex’s return is all about Kate Roberts, his mother. The actor explains that Ron Carlivati, the show’s former head writer, sparked the idea after a casual visit. They met during one of Lowder’s trips to Southern California, and that’s when Carlivati pitched the perfect moment for Rex.
Rex is coming back to support Kate, played by Lauren Koslow, during a critical moment. This return won’t be long, but it’s packed with meaning. Kyle says he was honored to share scenes with both Koslow and Josh Taylor, who plays Rex’s father, Roman Brady.
“I’ve known Lauren and Josh since I was a literal teenager,” Kyle shared, reflecting on the emotional reunion. His first appearance on Days came at just 19 years old, and now, at 44, he’s still connected to the same on-screen family.
For Lowder, returning to work with them was both nostalgic and grounding. This new chapter lets Rex reflect on where he came from—and gives the actor a chance to reconnect with the people who helped shape his career.

Kyle Lowder is clear—he’s always ready to return when the show calls. “I do not take it for granted,” he said. The actor feels deeply loyal to Days of Our Lives, especially to Executive Producer Ken Corday. That loyalty runs through Rex’s storyline too. It’s all about showing up for the people who matter.
“There’s a loyalty that I have to that show,” Lowder said. “If the call comes in, I answer it.” And with Rex woven into the emotional fabric of the Brady and Roberts families, there’s always room for more drama ahead.
This time, Rex’s visit might be brief—but it hits hard. It’s a chance for fans to see Rex in protector mode, stepping up for his mom and reconnecting with his roots. Kyle Lowder says he’s just grateful for the chance to play this role again, especially in such a meaningful storyline.
