ikki Crawford will make her soap debut on Friday, March 6, as a resurrected Lexie Carver on Days of Our Lives.

Lexie, originally played by Renee Jones from 1993 to 2012, was presumed dead but has secretly been kept alive by Dr. Wilhelm Rolf (Richard Wharton) in a mysterious lab at the hospital. Crawford was unaware of the twist when she auditioned for the show. “They didn’t tell me it was Lexie Carver,” she relays. “They used another name just because she was such a beloved character. So, when I started doing my research, I thought, ‘Oh, well, maybe she’s coming on as Lexie’s sister,’ and it wasn’t until I got the role that they told me, ‘No, you’re the new Lexie Carver.’”

Before she reported to the studio to begin filming, Crawford immersed herself in Lexie’s comprehensive history. “I don’t watch soaps, but like with any role that I take on, I do extensive research,” she explains. “So, I watched the show. I delved into her backstory through Google searches. There’s so much information and so many websites dedicated to Lexie Carver, so I did a lot of that, and then when I got on set and started working, I started speaking to other actors, and the producers and the directors really filled me in on Lexie’s backstory, which was extremely helpful. The character had gone through so much and so I wanted to embody all of that when she comes back to life.”…..
