He finds no one there but there is a package addressed to Stephanie. University Hospital – Kayla's Office: EJ arrives just as Kayla hangs up with Bo. They immediately snark back and forth.

Days of Our Lives' Alison Sweeney on Normal Childhood in L.A.: "I Was Really Lucky"
Days of Our Lives' Alison Sweeney on Normal Childhood in L.A.: "I Was Really Lucky" originally appeared on Daytime Confidential. Life in Los Angeles wasn't a bad thing for former Days of Our Lives star and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries queen (Sami). Sweeney revealed to that despite no longer residing in LA and moving to Arizona, things weren't bad for her; that was all due to how she was brought up. Sweeney stated: I was really lucky. I'm from LA, so it wasn't a big fish-out of-water story, and my parents are super grounded and normal and real and tough and strict. I was never left out on my own to figure that out. I was always really guided by my brothers and my parents, who were all very loving. How does Sweeney prevent her marriage of 25 years to Dave Sanov from falling victim to the Hollywood curse? Communication. Sweeney stated: Communication is key. I know that's maybe too cheesy to say, but just staying in contact, talking all the time, checking in on the little things. I used to say that gestures, loving gestures are so important, but it's not romantic. Like, 'Oh, bring me flowers every week.' It's little things like, he charges my phone for me when I can't find it. I make him cappuccino in the morning just to be nice. And then not only doing those things for your partner, but recognizing … and acknowledging them and allowing that to be the sweet care and gesture that it is.

Hallmark Star Alison Sweeney and Husband Dave Sanov Have the Sweetest Love Story
Days of Our Lives and Hallmark star Alison Sweeney is married to Dave Sanov. The couple first met as children and later reconnected when they were in their 20s. The duo have been married for 25 years and share son Benjamin and daughter Megan. Whether she's starring on Days of Our Lives or helming the Hallmark Channel with a myriad of different movies, Alison Sweeney is someone many people recognize from over the years. And as she's very much in the public eye, she also keeps folks updated on how much she loves her husband, Dave Sanov. When it comes to the two's road to romance, Alison and Dave's history goes way back. The couple initially met as kids, due to their parents being friends. What's more, Dave's dad and Alison's mom had a unique commonality that only they could relate to. "His dad and my mom play the violin for feature-film soundtracks, so we've actually known each other our whole lives," Alison told Access in 2019. "I totally had a crush on him when we were kids." Eventually Alison and Dave lost touch, when she went to star on Days of Our Lives and he attended college. When they saw each other again at a party both of their parents were throwing, Alison had to invite Dave to her 21st birthday party. As she explained on the Live Your Days podcast in September 2020, they bonded and began dating shortly after that. "We had such a great time, and we had so much fun getting to know each other again as grown-ups," she said at the time, per People. "And the rest is history." The couple wed on July 8, 2000, and have been together ever since. They later welcomed their son Benjamin Edward in February 2005, and their daughter Megan Hope completed their family in January 2009. What's more, Benjamin has gotten a taste of his mom's work by working on her 2023 Hallmark film A Zest for Death: a Hannah Swensen Mystery. Just as Dave is supportive of Alison's ventures in her career, she's equally as proud of his accomplishments. When Dave retired from being a California Highway Patrol officer after 27 years, Alison made sure people knew just how much the moment meant to their family. "It is a big deal to retire," she explained when she appeared on The Kelly Clarkson Show in November 2022. "We're pulling people out of the woodwork to come be a part of this event. There's a lot of surprises we've planned for [Dave]. He's so excited." No matter what the couple is doing, it's clear that Alison and Dave are still in love over two decades later. As Alison noted when she celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary in July 2025, she adored how they have a plethora of memories together that span many years. "Can you believe it? We're celebrating our 25th anniversary tonight. ❤️❤️," she wrote about their love on Instagram. "Time flies when you're having fun. We had a wonderful dinner sharing memories and telling each other that we look exactly the same. Lol. 😂." We love this for them!

Alison Sweeney embraces ‘normal' life in Arizona while prioritizing health over Hollywood hype
It's been a few years since Alison Sweeney relocated her family from California to Arizona — and she hasn't regretted it one bit. In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, the former "Days of Our Lives" star, 48, opened up about her decision to leave Los Angeles and explained why she prioritizes health and wellness over the Hollywood hype these days. "I mean, no [I don't miss Hollywood]," Sweeney, who has recently partnered with Align Probiotics for their latest campaign, told Fox News Digital. "I miss my family. I love my family. I go to visit them all the time, but they're not really in Hollywood or whatever. So, no, I am thrilled with my life. I love how normal it is." The actress made her acting debut at the age of four when she landed a role in a Kodak commercial. From there, she went on to find major success with various film and TV roles, including the role of Sami on the longtime-running soap opera "Days of Our Lives." In 2019, the former "Biggest Loser" host told Fox News Digital that being a child actor had taught her "that there's always someone out there who is prettier and skinnier and fancier." She said she was able to combat that by gradually learning to believe in herself and what she had to offer, and by figuring out how to "find that confidence" within herself. And as other childhood stars were succumbing to the temptations of the limelight, Sweeney said her family was really instrumental in helping her to keep her head on straight. "I was really lucky. I'm from LA, so it wasn't a big fish-out of-water story, and my parents are super grounded and normal and real and tough and strict," she said. "I was never left out on my own to figure that out. I was always really guided by my brothers and my parents, who were all very loving." These days, Sweeney is enjoying normalcy, while continuing to prioritize her health and wellness. "I am a busy mom and I work all the time, and you really don't have a lot of time for your gut health to not be aligned," said Sweeney, who shares two children with husband David Sanov. "And so it was a great partnership [with Align Probiotics] because I care about my health. Everything you're reading right now is people trying to be more healthy, people trying to understand their bodies better. And one of the things I learned at 'The Biggest Loser' is that you are getting signs from your body. Your body is trying to communicate with you. It's trying to help you." "And if you're listening to those signs, you can make a lot of better choices for yourself," she continued. "Staying active is very important, I'm not going to knock that, but I do think nutrition is number one for your health, and eating well. I'm not really hip to the Hollywood scene, but what I noticed with moms I'm friends with and just other everyday women is just more awareness … that your nutrition can make a difference in how you feel and your health." Sweeney said that getting "skinny" is not the way to go, but rather striving for "healthy living." "Skinny is really not the right goal," she said. "Healthy living is the right goal. It is something to look forward to, something to strive towards. It's a marathon, it's not a sprint. And so, it's really important to look at big picture." And family is a huge part of that bigger picture. The Hallmark actress, who recently celebrated 25 years of marriage with Sanov, said "the little things" in life are what matter the most. "Communication is key," she said. "I know that's maybe too cheesy to say, but just staying in contact, talking all the time, checking in on the little things. I used to say that gestures, loving gestures are so important, but it's not romantic. Like, 'Oh, bring me flowers every week.' It's little things like, he charges my phone for me when I can't find it. I make him cappuccino in the morning just to be nice. And then not only doing those things for your partner, but recognizing … and acknowledging them and allowing that to be the sweet care and gesture that it is." "Don't take it for granted," she added. "Appreciating those little moments are just as valuable."
