What You Need To Know About Days Of Our Lives Newcomer Jessica Serfaty

"Days of Our Lives" fans are used to seeing powerful female characters on the soap opera. It appears that the trend continues with newcomer Jessica Serfaty, who recently joined the cast as Sloan Petersen. Fans first met Sloan when she found herself in the bed of Salem's very own playboy Alex Kiriakis (Robert Scott Wilson). However, they got to know her a bit better when it was revealed that she was a high-powered attorney who was defending one of Salem's most polarizing figures, Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart), when he was arrested as a person of interest in Abigail Deveraux DiMera's murder, per Soap Hub.

Viewers quickly learned that Sloan is straightforward and doesn't make any apologies for what she says or does to get what she wants. She even told Leo that she wanted to represent him strictly for publicity and considered writing a book about his case. She eventually got into a battle with Paulina Price and her daughter Chanel DuPree when she represented a client that was trying to blackmail the women (via Soaps in Depth).

Most recently, Sloan has been seen getting romantic with Eric Brady (Greg Vaughan) and even helping him with his plan to kidnap Brady Black and Kristen DiMera's daughter, Rachel (via Soap Opera Spy). While fans have learned some interesting information about Sloan Petersen, they may not know much about actor Jessica Serfaty.

Jessica Serfaty may be a newcomer to "Days of Our Lives" fans, but others may recognize her from her past projects. The actor is a native of Little Rock, Arkansas, and is the mother of a son named Roman.

Aside from her marriage, Serfaty has also been romantically linked to YouTube star Logan Paul, singers Joe Jonas and Niall Horan, and actors Matthew Espinosa and Ed Westwick, as well as Firefly CEO Kaan Gunay. Serfaty also has plenty of acting and modeling experience.
