Does Salley Carson come back on The Bachelor Season 26?

The Bachelor Season 26 was off to a very interesting start before it even really got started. I’m referring to contestant Salley Carson who exited the season right before limo entrances began. In a never-before-moment for the franchise, Salley paid Clayton Echard a visit to talk through her insecurities and doubts about the whole thing before the limo entrances and introductions.

So at that point in time, Clayton had not met any of the women and had no idea who Salley was. But that didn’t stop her from going to his room and honestly saying that she was having doubts because she was previously engaged and supposed to be getting married the day she met Clayton.

Naturally, this was stirring up a lot of emotions for her, and as much as she wanted to stay, her gut was telling her something else. But despite that, Clayton felt a strong connection to Salley right off the bat and even offered her a rose to get her to stay. It was a brave choice to do that, but it didn’t matter in the end because Salley rejected the rose and ultimately decided to go home.

Even though Salley has left, fans can’t help but wonder–is this the last we’ve seen of her? Production doesn’t just do things to do things so she has to be coming back at some point, right? Well, more on that below!

Will Salley Carson return?

Back in September, Reality Steve posted about Salley’s predicament and gave us a breakdown of what was going on with her previous engagement. I don’t think any of us expected to see her story play out the way it did in the premiere so now we all want to know–what’s the deal?

Well, it’s unclear whether or not Salley will make a return to the series, but based on Reality Steve’s intel, it doesn’t seem like she does. That seems very bizarre to me considering how much the spotlight was on her during the premiere. They really did that for no reason at all?

That appears to be the case, and honestly, that is so strange to me.

Based on what her social media shows, it doesn’t look like she’s back with her ex either so maybe she just left The Bachelor with the intention of wiping the slate clean. And if that’s the case, then I hope she is living her best life!
