In 1988, she appeared on the short-lived [[American Broadcasting Company|ABC]] sitcom ''[[Family Man (U.S. TV series)|Family Man]]'',{{Citation needed |date=March 2021}} and the following year, was cast as Christy McCray on ''[[Brand New Life (TV series)|Brand New Life]]'', a miniseries from future ''[[The X-Files|X-Files]]'' creator [[Chris Carter (screenwriter)|Chris Carter]] that aired within NBC's ''[[The Magical World of Disney|Magical World of Disney]]'' in October 1989. The miniseries, which co-starred [[Barbara Eden]] as Sweeney's mother and [[Don Murray (actor)|Don Murray]] as her new stepfather, was considered for pick-up as a stand-alone series beyond its ''Disney'' tryout, but the regular series never materialized.

On January 6, 1993, then 16-year-old Sweeney first appeared in the role of Samantha "Sami" Brady in the NBC soap opera ''Days of Our Lives''—a show of which she was a fan.<ref name=16Years>{{cite news|first=Dan J.|last=Kroll|title=Alison Sweeney reflects on 16 years as Sami and battling a common ailment|url=http://www.soapcentral.com/days/news/2009/0413-sweeney_iview_01.php|work=[[Soapcentral]]|date=April 9, 2009|access-date=April 13, 2009| archive-url= https://web.archive.org/web/20090413202259/http://www.soapcentral.com/days/news/2009/0413-sweeney_iview_01.php| archive-date= 13 April 2009 | url-status= live}}</ref>

In the 1990s, cultural society continued to have very problematic views on weight. Sweeney was a US dress size 12 (UK dress size 16). She was not obese by medical standards, but still larger than her television peers; this it became an issue. She documented all the tabloid talk and personal anguish in her 2004 memoir, ''All The Days of My Life (So Far)''.<ref>{{cite book
