Unfortunately, it’s not going to be a dream reunion, since Brady and her sister Eve (Kassie DePaiva) are now in love.
“It all makes sense, but at the same time Theresa didn’t prepare for that,” notes Lilley. “She’s gobsmacked. It’s shocking to her, and she’s mad. It seems like such a betrayal, because she did the right thing. She’s also trying to wrestle with the truth of the circumstances, that people don’t know she went down as a hero.
“On the flip side of that, it creates amazing scenes,” continues Lilley, acknowledging that Theresa is in store for “a lot of heartache” as a result of this triangle.
“I was excited to finally be able to release the emotions and tears that I had to hold back on my exit, so that Brady wouldn’t know [what was really going on]. It was nice.”
As was reuniting onscreen with DePaiva and Martsolf. “Working with Kassie and Eric, again, was amazing. Not only do I like them as people, but they are two powerhouse performers,” says Lilley noting that what’s ahead is riveting.
“Brady does love Eve, but he was under the impression Theresa left under false pretenses. And when Eve learns the truth, she has to decide if she’s going to do the right thing and step aside or keep going because she now loves Brady. The story is amazingly woven together.”
The Great Escape
Yet, before any of that can happen Theresa and Chloe have to free themselves from their captors. And they’re going to need some help.
“One thing that’s going to be surprising and interesting is that Xander (Paul Telfer) plays a role in their escape,” notes Lilley, referring to the Kiriakis villain who’s been at serious odds with Theresa in the past.
“That is very unexpected for Theresa. It’s, Will he or won’t he? Can I trust him? Because we’re all going to die, if I can’t.”
