Five Things That Happened On August 28 In Soap History

In 2009, Lindsay Hartley (r., with Camila Banus as Gabi and Galen Gering as Rafe) made her Days of Our Lives debut as Arianna Hernandez, sister of Gabi and Rafe. The role had briefly been played by Felisha Terrell before Hartley was cast. The actress had previously been a star on Passions, where she appeared as Theresa Lopez-Fitzgerald from 1999-2007. On that series, Gering also played her brother (Luiz Lopez-Fitzgerald). Hartley exited the show in 2010, and told Soap Operea Weekly, "I was in a storyline meeting and was told that they could go two different ways with my character, and that they would let me know after the Emmys. The week after the Emmys, I went in to [get] the update on which direction they were going with my character, and I was told that they were going to kill her."
