Jen Lilley resurfaces as Theresa Donovan on Thursday, May 3. Lilley, who originally began portraying the character in 2013, opted to leave the soap when her contract expired in 2016. She’s back for an extended storyline arc that will involve Eric Martsolf (Brady) and Kassie DePaiva (Eve).

In other big return news, Robert Scott Wilson has inked a new contract with DAYS. The actor wreaked havoc as Abigail’s (Marci Miller) deranged ex, Ben Weston, and was also revealed as The Necktie Killer. Wilson made his last appearance in November 2017.

The role is recurring. It’s not Creech’s first time on DAYS. Back in 2010, she played a character named Keisha.
