Nadia Bjorlin is back on Days of Our Lives. She recently spoke to Soap Opera Weekly about her return to the role of Chloe:

Soap Opera Weekly: Are you excited to be back at Days of Our Lives?
Nadia Bjorlin: I am. I really am. It's fun around here. I missed it.

Weekly: Were there are lot of happy reunions on-set?
Bjorlin: It was so much fun to see and be able to work with Jay (Kenneth Johnson, Philip) again. I'd seen him here and there while I was gone, but it wasn't the same.

Weekly: Will you give us a rundown of what you were up to since you left Days of Our Lives?
Bjorlin: The reason I left Days of Our Lives was because the pilot I did for UPN - Sex,Love and Secrets -  got picked up. Once they changed the title to that, I knew it was doomed. It sounded like a rip-off of Sex, Lies and Videotape. It was originally called Wild Life and was actually a good show, but it was on the wrong network and wasn't advertised well.

Nobody knew it was on the air. I did do some guest-starring things on other prime-time shows, like Jake in Progress and Out of Preactice. Then I did this quirky independent film called If I Had Known I Was a Genius with Whoopi Goldberg, Sharon Stone, Della Reese and Tara Reid. I got to meet Whoopi and Sharon, but I didn't get to do any scenes with them. Still, you sort of feel like, Wow! This is something, just to be working on something they're working on. That hasn't come out yet. I also did that fun, crazy movie Redline, which I really enjoyed.

Weekly: Is there anything different about being on Days of Our Lives this time around?
Bjorlin: I'm getting to work with people I hadn't gotten to work with before. It's funny, as many years as I was here, I never got to work with Deidre Hall (Marlena) or Alison Sweeney (Sami). I just had a little scene with both of them, so that's interesting. I guess now that Chloe is considered an adult, I'll get to have more scenes with the actual grown-ups.

That will be fun. Obviously, I love working with the people I used to and [who] I know, but it's also fun to work with new people, because you don't know what they're going to do in a scene.

As Days of Our Lives fans know, Nadia Bjorlin made her return as Chloe Lane last week.

Her presence, of course, provided for an unfortunate surprise for Belle (Martha Madison). Here's what went down, in case you missed it:

Upon her return to Salem, Chloe accidentally bumped into Belle in an airport hotel; she immediately assumes that Belle is on her honeymoon with new husband, Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer). But she discovers her mistake when Philip (Jay Kenneth Johnson) - Chloe's former flame - steps out of the room.

The shocking encounter was enough to get the wheels in Chloe's head turning, as she immediately places Philip in the hot seat.

"Philip spends the next few episodes trying to convince Chloe that nothing's going on," Bjorlin told the New York Daily News. "He says, 'We're just talking about Claire, but we keep it from Shawn to keep Shawn from feeling jealous.' Chloe doesn't buy it for a second. She's a smarter cookie than that."

As you can imagine, there's a lot trouble ahead for Philip and Belle, while Chloe herself is going through changes, considering the end of her fairytale marriage to Brady (Kyle Lowder).

"She's not the same naive, sweet Chloe,” Bjorlin said. “Even though Chloe has always had a bit of cynicism and sarcasm to her, it's been amplified since she went to live abroad, got married and is now divorced."

The Days of our Lives star added: “It would be easy to say, 'I'm back in town. I'm divorced. Now, I want Philip.' But we're not quite sure what Chloe's intentions are. She does instigate a little something with Philip, but then she realizes Philip wants nothing to do with her. He only has eyes for Belle."

As we reported previously, Nadia Bjorlin (Chloe) is returning to Days of Our Lives.

The actress' comeback episode will air some time in November.

"We're thrilled to have her back," says Days of Our Lives Executive Producer Ken Corday. "She is an amazingly beautiful and talented woman.... She comes back with an edge."

We can't wait to see what that entails.

Is Nadia Bjorlin (ex-Chloe) on her way back to Salem?

According to various sources, it's possible.

Days of Our Lives is working on getting the popular actress to return for a story with Jay Kenneth Johnson's Philip. We'll keep you informed as this story develops.
