Days of Our Lives Star Jen Lilley Says This Is The Only Reason Why She Came Back

Days of Our Lives star Jen Lilley, who is best known for her role as Theresa Donovan on the hit Peacock soap, opened up about the one and only reason why she decided to come back. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.

Days of Our Lives Star Jen Lilley Says This Is The Only Reason Why She Came Back

Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, Jen admitted that the number one reason why she decided to come back to her daytime television roots is because her co-star John Aniston, who passed away earlier in the year, meant so much to her, both on and off screen. Jen put it this way to the publication, “Not only did John Aniston mean a lot to me, personally, as an actress, but I truly believe that Victor and Theresa had a very special relationship.”

As many fans can recall, the last time that Theresa was on the canvas was back in 2018. And of course, many things have changed since then. Jen continued, “When I first left the show and Theresa went with Mateo to Mexico in order to save Brady and Tate, the only person who knew why Theresa was really pushing Brady away was Victor. He respected the fact that Theresa was doing this and telling Brady the truth because she knew he’d come after her and would probably die.”

That said, Jen also added that her first day back on the set of Days of Our Lives felt like she was returning home again. She said, “The only thing that I really had to learn was the new Covid protocols – wearing a mask and standing six feet apart. I couldn’t catch up with Eric by running into his dressing room. I had to sit across the hall from him with his dressing room door open and my door open and talking.”

It goes without saying that Days of Our Lives fans will simply have to tune in to find out what will happen next.
