Arianna’s History On The Show

Arianna’s journey began with a one-night encounter between her parents in August 2012; when Gabi discovers she is expecting, she initially considers an abortion but ultimately cannot go through with it.

In a show of support, Nick Fallon (Blake Berris)  stepped forward to claim the role of Arianna’s legal father, believing it would be in everyone’s best interest.

However, during Nick and Gabi’s first wedding attempt in January 2013, Will revealed that he is actually Arianna’s biological father.

Arianna made her entrance into the world on May 20, 2013 (May 21 on-screen), born in an abandoned shed on Smith Island, with Sonny assisting in the delivery at 8:30 p.m. She weighed 7 pounds and measured 20 inches long, and her name honors her late aunts.

Actress History

The character of Arianna was originally portrayed by twins Harper and Sydnee Udell from her birth in 2013 until 2019, after which Sydney Brower took over the role for a year. Lane Rosa was the last actress to depict Will and Gabi’s daughter. Since 2023, Arianna has been residing in New Zealand with Will and Sonny Kiriakis, played by Zach Tinker.

At this point, we don’t have any details about Arianna’s plans upon her return to Salem, but we have a feeling she will definitely leave her impression on the city and its people. What are your hopes for her character when Reyes steps into the role of Arianna?
