Days of our lives spoilers: HOT Jen Lilley as Theresa returns, exposing Sophia and Melinda’s secret

Could Jen Lilley Return to Days of Our Lives as Theresa Donovan? A Deep Dive Into the Grandchild Mystery

Hello, soap fans! We at TV Days Drama Digest are diving into one of the hottest rumors swirling through the Days of Our Lives fandom: Could Jen Lilley return as the iconic Theresa Donovan — and will she be the one to expose the heartbreaking secret about the grandchild Sophia Choy abandoned?

For those new to Salem’s web of secrets, here’s a quick recap. Sophia, with the help of legal powerhouse Melinda Trask, orchestrated a secret adoption right from the delivery room. The unsuspecting father, Tate Black, never got to see or hold his child. The emotional fallout has left fans reeling — and Tate devastated.

Now, whispers of Theresa’s return are heating up. Last portrayed by Jen Lilley from 2013 to 2018 (and briefly in 2023), Theresa is Tate’s fiery, flawed, but fiercely protective mother. Could she return to uncover the truth and help reunite her son with his lost child?

Jen Lilley’s past performances left a lasting impression — full of emotional depth and strength. Off-screen, her advocacy for foster care and family issues makes the possibility of her return even more meaningful. Fans are already theorizing: Could she crash a courtroom with explosive evidence? Show up at a wedding? Or confront Sophia in a stormy showdown?

While nothing is confirmed, producers have teased the possibility. One hinted, “Never say never in Salem,” sparking intense fan speculation. Twitter polls show 65% of viewers are eager for Jen’s comeback. Some even suggest a recast if Jen’s schedule won’t allow it.

If she does return, the storyline promises high-stakes drama, emotional reunions, and maybe even redemption arcs. If not, the show may introduce a new character to unravel the mystery — but many believe only Theresa has the grit to pull it off.

So, what do you think? Will Jen Lilley make a triumphant return to Days of Our Lives? Can Theresa be the hero Tate needs? Share your thoughts in the comments, and don’t forget to like and subscribe for more deep dives into Salem’s wildest stories. Until next time — stay dramatic!
