THREE-TIME EMMY AWARD WINNING ACTRESS SARAH BROWN JOINS CAST MEMBERS ALISON SWEENEY & DEIDRE HALL ON "DAYS OF OUR LIVES"

Actress Joins the Newly Revitalized Show in a Provocative & Powerful New Role

Sarah Brown, perhaps best known to fans for her creation of the iconic, tortured troublemaker Carly on "General Hospital," has joined the cast of "Days of our Lives," NBC's longest-running scripted television series. Brown is considered one of daytime television's best working actresses, having won a jaw-dropping three Emmy Awards for "General Hospital," and delighting fans on "As the World Turns" and "The Bold & the Beautiful." She joins "Days of our Lives" as it begins revolutionary changes to focus on heroic love, intrigue, core family values, and the triumphant return of daytime royalty Deidre Hall and Drake Hogestyn as Marlena Evans and John Black.

Brown will play "Madison James," a powerful and seductive CEO who looks to take on, in way or another, Sami, Kate, Brady, and Victor. "'Days of our Lives' is one of television's historic gems," Brown says. "I'm excited to join such a talented cast as well as to play such a strong yet feminine character that will inspire our female viewer." Brown joins former cast members Matthew Ashford, Christie Clark, and Patrick Muldoon, who are returning to the show, in celebrating its 46th season on the air. Greg Meng, Co-Executive Producer, commented, "We are thrilled to have Sarah join our family at 'Days.' We needed a strong actress who can mold this character and go toe-to-toe with other strong actresses such as Alison Sweeney and Lauren Koslow. Madison defines a new femininity, displaying confidence, savvy, and elegance."
