Y&R Alum Heads To Another Soap

A while back, it was reported that Emily O’Brien was featured with the core cast on the anniversary photo for the soap opera. However, at the time, nobody knew who she would be playing or when to expect her character to debut.

Now, Soap Opera Digest has confirmed the details. This actress comes from The Young and the Restless, so we are very excited!

DOOL Spoilers: Emily O’Brien’s New Role

Emily O’Brien played Jana Fisher aka Jana Hawkes on Y&R from 2006 to 2011. She has an extensive acting resume and now, she’s headed to Days of Our Lives. She will be playing Jake Lambert’s (Brandon Barash) ex-girlfriend, Gwen.

The young woman is also a patient at the same psychiatric hospital where Claire Brady (Olivia Rose Keegan) is a patient: Bayview.

When Will Jake Lambert’s Ex-Girlfriend Debut?

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Gwen’s first appearance will be on Friday, June 5, 2020. Her first scenes will be with Claire. Gwen befriends the troubled young Salemite and gets her to open up about her past. However, it’s most likely unknown to Claire that she has a tie to Salem already. She even might end up regretting giving Gwen such personal details about her past.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Gwen’s Storyline Teasers

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest, head writer Ron Carlivati gave summer spoilers and Gwen’s included! He had this to say about what to expect:

“In order to put an end to this situation with the people who are after him, Jake has to track down his ex, the mischievous Gwen. I don’t want to give too much away. She is kind of the key to him resolving the issues with these bad people. It will also be interesting to see how Gabi [Hernandez DiMera, Camila Banus] reacts when she finds out that Jake has an ex-girlfriend.”

What do you think is going to happen with Claire, Jake, Gabi, and Gwen? Will she be a long-term character since the actress was included with the core cast in the anniversary photo? What exactly is her story, and how will Gabi react to the woman who has pre-existing ties to Jake?
