Lani Price is a fictional character from the original NBC daytime soap opera, Days of Our Lives portrayed by Sal Stowers. Lani is introduced as a new police cadet at the Salem Police department and later reveals herself to be the illegitimate daughter of Mayor Abe Carver (James Reynolds). Lani is very driven and focused on her career. Lani forms a close bond with her younger half-brother Theo Carver (Kyler Pettis) and also falls for Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) who has recently separated from his wife. She is also instrumental in bringing down Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson), the "Necktie Killer." Lani leaves town when Shawn-Douglas reunites with his ex-wife. The character returns to town in December 2016 to visit her father Abe who has recently been shot. A paranoid Theo ropes her into investigating their father's new love interest Valerie Grant (Vanessa A. Williams).

She is the love interest of JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss).

Lani is introduced as a rookie police officer at the Salem Police Department. She takes an interest in the mayor—Abe Carver. She also takes a liking to veteran detective Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering). Abe sees pictures on Lani's computer and realizes she is the daughter of singer Tamara Price (Marilyn McCoo), his ex-flame. Lani and Rafe attend Salem's bicentennial celebration together where Abe confronts Lani over his suspicions about her paternity and she confirms that she is his daughter. Abe makes plans to introduce his autistic son Theo (Kyler Pettis) to Lani but wants to ease into it. Lani forms a connection with Theo when she helps save his friend Joey Johnson (James Lastovic) when he collapses during the party. Lani uncovers that Ben Weston (Robert Scott Wilson) is the serial killer that has been terrorizing Salem. Lani along with fellow officer JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) tracks Ben to a nearby town where she successfully arrest him. Theo struggles to except the revelation that Lani is his sister but when he finally does, Theo becomes very territorial—even around their father. Theo confides in Lani that he is being bullied but he swears her to secrecy. Lani continues flirting with Rafe but she soon recognizes that he is in love with Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso). Lani gets a new partner in Hope's son, Shawn-Douglas Brady (Brandon Beemer) which leads to romance. Lani falls hard for Shawn but before they can consummate their relationship, Shawn reunites with his estranged wife Belle Black (Martha Madison) and Lani moves back to Miami.
