Nicole Walker

Daytime newcomer Arianne Zuker joins the cast of "Days of Our Lives" as Nicole Walker, a young woman with a troubled past who catches the attention of Eric Brady.
Zuker, born in Northridge, California and raised in Chatsworth, began her career as a model at age sixteen, providing her several opportunities for travel. Favorite assignments include print jobs in France, Australia, New York and Japan. Arianne is currently represented by the Ford Agency.

Although "Days of Our Lives" is her first daytime role, Arianne is no stranger to television, having appeared in several national commercials, including Mazda Miata and McDonald's (where she got to laugh at a joke-cracking McNugget). Theater credits include Babe Bortrelle in Beth Henley's "Crimes of the Heart," Maude in "A Coupla White Chicks," and Elaine in Neil Simon's "Last of the Little Red Hot Lovers." Arianne continues to study theater at the Howard Fine Studios in Los Angeles.

When not living the rigorous life of a model or actress, Arianne's other passions include horseback riding, skiing and tae kwon do (she has her green belt). A lover of all sports, Arianne has recently taken an interest in golf, so she can spent more time with her golf enthusiast boyfriend.

Arianne lives at home with her parents, Barbara, a lab technologist, and Barry, a plumber. Her older brother, Todd, lives in San Francisco with his wife, Chandra, and daughter, Rylie. Arianne is hopeful her stint on Days will provide her with the means to get her own place — nearby her supportive family, of course.

Arianne has blonde har and green eyes and stands 5'9".
