Vanessa Williams Joins ‘Days Of Our Lives’ Cast
Dr. Valerie Grant is headed back to “Days Of Our Lives.”
“Soul Food” vet Vanessa Williams has signed on to play the character that was originally part of a groundbreaking storyline in the 1970s when she was one half of daytime’s first interracial couple.
Today, the character is a well-respected cardiologist, who returns to Salem to attend to her old friend, and old flame, Abe Carver (James Reynolds), according to Deadline.
Williams’ most recent work includes a recurring role on CW’s “The Flash,” a lead role on TV One’s “The Secret She Kept,” as well as a recurring guest arc in the upcoming Freeform series “Famous in Love” starring Bella Thorne.
Williams’ first appearance on “Days of Our Lives” will be on the October 25 episode.
