"I think the sky's the limit as far as story potential with Bridget and those guys," says Jones, who nonetheless will return to the soap as a non-contract player.

Jones says fans haven't let up on the possibility of a Nicket reunion.

"They send me Twitter updates every day. It's been really incredible."

Jones is also known to "True Blood" fans as the shape-shifting Daphne, is one of the few daytimers who juggles a very busy career in primetime.

On September 25, Jones will star in the Lifetime movie Secrets of Her Past — which she also exec produced — about a gal who's been hiding from mobsters for a decade.

She has also landed a recurring role in the upcoming FX underworld crime series "Outlaw Country", where she'll be seen as the trophy wife of the king baddie played by Oscar nominee John Hawkes.
