Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Emily O’Brien’s New DOOL Role, Gwen Morphs Into Theresa After Jen Lilly’s Stint

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that fans might have already heard that Theresa Donovan (Jen Lilley) is coming back to Salem. There are inside sources that insist that Lilly is coming back to play Theresa, but only for a short time.

After that, expect Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) to be written out. Then, O’Brien will take over Lilley’s role as Theresa. This isn’t the first time that the soap writers have done this kind of switcheroo.

Brady Black’s Devastating New Chapter

DOOL spoilers reveal that Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) is really going through the wringer. Brady made a deal with Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk).

As fans recall, Brady was trying to save Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall), Kate Roberts Brady (Lauren Koslow) and Kayla Johnson (Mary Beth Evans). Unfortunately, it forced Brady to break up with Chloe Lane (Nadia Bjorlin).

Fans are seeing Brady plant kisses on Chloe and fight Xander Cook (Paul Telfer). This didn’t start getting too heavy until Brady lost custody of Rachel Black (Finley Rose Slater).

Of course, Brady shouldn’t have pointed a gun at Kristen. Now Brady is dealing with loss after loss, which usually suggests the character headed toward a relapse.

DOOL Spoilers: Theresa Donovan’s Return

It has already been reported that Lilley is coming back to play Theresa Donovan. Fans recall that Theresa was a manipulative bad girl who was always scheming.

However, Theresa ended up having a baby boy with Brady. Even though Theresa earned redemption at the end, fans have missed her. It would be nice if Theresa and Brady’s son, Tate Black (last played by Colin and Kyle Schroeder in 2018).

One Exit & One Return

Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Gwen will leave Salem. Gwen is slated to find out that Leo Stark (Greg Rikaart) is sleeping with Dimitri von Leuschner (Peter Porte).

Gwen might be completely humiliated and feel she can’t show her face in Salem anymore.

Of course, Gwen might get a business opportunity that takes her out of Salem. Once Gwen’s marriage is exposed, she won’t have much keeping her in Salem anymore.

Then, there is Theresa, who is coming back, but for just a brief sting. The actress is really busy being a mother and working on her other projects. Lilly is also a champion for good causes, such as foster care and adoption.

Days of Our Lives Spoilers: Emily O’Brien’s New Role

It should be noted that the Peacock soap films several months in advance. So, fans might not see O’Brien as Theresa for a while.

However, it should be interesting to see how O’Brien makes the Theresa role her own, especially after being painted into a corner as Gwen.

This has happened before as fans know. Robert Scott Wilson used to play Ben Weston. After Ben and Ciara Brady Weston’s (Victoria Konefal) exit, Wilson was cast as Alex Kiriakis.

Deidre Hall has played Marlena as well as Hattie Adams. Judi Evans portrayed Adrienne Kiriakis but now plays Bonnie Lockhart Kiriakis.

    I hope she loses her very thick accent. I know when they did flashbacks of her mom( which she played), she didn’t have one and her American accent was very good. Are they having her dye her hair blonde? Jenn Lily is blonde now.

  2. Ileene Shanahan says

    Stop recasting characters as another one!! Fans get used to seeing one character as they are! I’m not crazy over the Alex Kiriakis remake and can’t see Gwen as Theresa! I like Gwen’s character as she is!

    1. Bill says

      Relax, it’s just a soap. I like Alex much better that Whiney Ben…

  3. Diane says

    Not crazy about Emily changing roles from Gwen to Theresa. I like the actress but don’t see her at all as Theresa.

  4. Laure says

    I like Emily better as gwen.hope they don’t change it.her and Leo are hilarious together

  5. Ellen says

    DOOL TIME TO GO!! These switches are getting ridiculous and so are the story lines

  6. D Casey says

    If this happens I’m done with days for good! First Ben becomes Alex now this? WTF is wrong with you people!

  7. Katherine Diggins says

    I don’t want to see her play Theresa, I won’t be able to see Gwen as a different character, not a good move. Brady needs someone different.

    1. Donna says

      Id rather see her play Theresa than be off Days entirely..I love Gwen and wish they would find a way to keep her on the show as Gwen but if not I’ll be glad for them letting her play Theresa.I dont feel that she should be gone from the show shes beautiful and a wonderful actress and I’d love to see her hair dyed blonde for Theresa’s part if they decide she cant be Gwen anymore..and I’d love to hear her without her accent even though I love it with Gwen I think her and Brady would look so good together and I believe she would be good for Rachael.

      1. Sandi Beach says

        UGH, I happen to love Jen Lilly & Hate Gwen! I will hate her playing Theresa!

  8. Connie says

    I think it’s a terrible idea she would not be suitable for the part first of all Theresa never had an accent at all . Better think long and hard DOOL be you make that decision.

  9. Frankie says

    I would like it if Jen Lilley comes back as Teresa for good. She and Brady were so good together, I thought. I can’t imagine “Gwen” playing Teresa, but she is a very good actress, so I expect she will do just fine. As far as Ben/Alex, I like Robert Scott Wilson playing Alex more than Ben, even if he is annoying as heck.

  10. Dinah says

    I think this will be a great change for Emily. I’m looking forward to this.

  11. Saleta Williams says

    I do not have a problem with the switches in the past, but this one maybe too much. I cannot stand Emily’s accent. It is all i can do to tolerate her as Gwen. Is there no one else to take the place of Teressa?

  12. Mriley says

    No no no please no!! Just get rid of her altogether. Can’t stomach Gwen and won’t be able to stand her as Theresa. Love Jen Lilly and know she can’t stay on long. Just recast her with someone else.

  13. Alaina says

    Just FYI, Emily O’Brien does a great American accent. She’s been in several Independent films where she’s played an American. Also, she doesn’t sound like Gwen in real life. Emily has lived in the states since she was in 9th grade and has lost quite a bit of her accent since moving here.

    As far as her playing Theresa, I absolutely love Emily and I will take her in any roll I can get on the show. I do want to say, that I’ve always had a soft spot for Gwen and I am definitely going to miss Emily playing that character. I hope she gets a good exit that involves something good happening to Gwen for a change. I will definitely miss her and Xander, though, even when they aren’t together.

  14. Donna says

    I cant wait!! I love her as Gwen and will love her as Theresa also.Jen Lily is beautiful, I look forward to her return as well.Love both of the sweet beauties:) Cant wait to see Rafe’s expression.

  15. Donna says

    GWEN WILL NOT MAKE IT AS THERESA I THINK SOMEONE SHOULD BE BROUGHT IN FROM THE OUTSIDE THAT RESEMBLES THERESA

  16. Holly Bednarski says

    I like Gwen. Have NEVER liked Theresa so I can’t see how any fan has missed her. And she was never redeemed in my eyes. I just want the character to stay gone. Keep Gwen and send Theresa away forever.

  17. Diane says

    Hate Old Ben’s character Alex. Fast-forward his time on screen. Absolutely love Jen Lily, will not watch Gwyn character play Theresa. Same thing with Chris Cosacheck playing Roman Brady. Just get new actors if you’re going to recast. Pretty soon I will stop watching all together. Too long to develop story lines.

  18. Debbie says

    This is BAD!!!!! They should have kept Gwen and hired a new Teresa!!!! This is not going over well #DaysofOurLives really bad decision

  19. Joe C says

    I love Gwen Rizchek and her wonderful english accent and I thought that the friendship she had with Leo (Matty) was unique because both had similar growing up backgrounds and that they were true BFF’s!……I hate the idea of her playing the part of Theresa (who I personally can’t stand her character sooo annoying) I hope this is only temporary so we can have our beloved Gweneviere back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  20. Sissy says

    Emily O’Brian is a wonderful actress, they made her character of Gwen hated from the beginning! I’m glad she’s gone. As Theresa, she’s a Brady, we long time viewers should remember who her mom is! Having Gwen walk out one door and Theresa coming in the other was, in my opinion great, but, and this is a big BUT, they should have given her at least a new haircut! Make her more Theresa-like in appearance!
