On Days of our Lives, Rachel has become quite the new villain in the past few months, with Alice Halsey’s outstanding performances adding so many layers to the troubled young girl.

Key Takeaways

• Alice Halsey took over the role of Rachel this year.
• Rachel’s villainous side has made her one of the best in Salem.
• DAYS fans can’t stop gushing over Halsey and her portrayal of Rachel.

Move Over Sami, There’s A New Girl Making Trouble

In February, Halsey took over the role of Rachel from Finley Rose Slater, who played Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Kristen’s (Stacy Haiduk) daughter for four years. It didn’t take long for Halsey to make the role her own, and she’s been hitting it out of the park ever since.

The young actress has done what even some adults can’t. Halsey has turned Rachel into a villain fans love to hate, while also showing her vulnerable side and reminding fans that Rachel is just a kid with serious problems.

One moment, Halsey can have Rachel acting like an evil brat, like when she poisoned Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). Then, in the blink of an eye, Halsey can have fans feeling sorry for Rachel, much like when he realized she shot RJ (Daniel Feuerriegel).

The latter made Soap Hub’s best moments of the week because of the talented young actress.

Halsey has become a breakout star on DAYS in the past few months, thanks to her portrayal of Rachel, adding so many layers. As the truth comes out about EJ’s shooting, fans can expect even more powerhouse performances from Halsey, who knows how to hold her own against vets like Martsolf and Deidre Hall (Marlena).

DAYS Fans Gush Over Talented Young Actress

Over on Reddit, DAYS fans have been singing Halsey’s praises. “Rachel is the best villain this show has had in a long time. I’m here for it,” stated a fan.

Another fan declared, “Rachel is officially must see every time she is on. Love when she was reading the laptop, how she struggled with jurisdiction.

“I am really enjoying this Rachel storyline. I know a lot of people may disagree, but I think the writers are doing a good job writing for a child that has basically been raised by a sociopath. Kristin may love Rachel and do everything for her, but she’s a terrible mother. I for one am here for it!,” insisted a different an on Reddit.

Whether you are a Rachel fan or think she’s a brat, one thing we can all agree on is that Halsey has fans talking about the character. The writing has been great, but Halsey’s delivery is on point and so entertaining.

Halsey landed the role of Laura Ingalls in the Little House On The Prairie reboot on Netflix. The show began filming this summer.

There’s been no official word on Halsey’s status with DAYS, but with her new gig, chances are another Rachel recast is looming. Since DAYS films nearly 10 months in advance, it will be a while before fans see a new Rachel, if that is indeed what is happening.

Until then, enjoy the ride with Halsey bringing the heat as Rachel.
