- According to Grimes, Tessa and Mariah have a bond that will last for decades.
Will Tessa and Mariah Get Back Together?
Tessa (Cait Fairbanks) ended her blossoming romance with Daniel (Michael Graziadei). On Tuesday’s episode, she met up with Mariah (Camryn Grimes, who unveiled a mother-son photo shoot) after months of separation. She wanted to know if there was still hope for them.
In an exclusive interview with Soap Opera Digest, Grimes is holding onto that hope. She believes that their reconciliation will “come slowly and intentionally.” Just a year ago, Mariah left on a business trip that led her to seek treatment in Boston.
She confessed to killing someone, which brought back her childhood trauma. Then, she was haunted by visions of Ian Ward (Ray Wise), which led her to kidnap Devon’s (Bryton James) and Abby’s (Melissa Ordway) son, Dom (Ethan Ray Clark).
Tessa filed for divorce after she fell for Daniel. But he broke things off after Mariah returned to Genoa City. He didn’t want to get in the way of a possible reconciliation. Grimes shared that Mariah needs to focus on herself before working on her marriage.
“I think she thought she healed them, and she didn’t. So this is going to be another thing that she’s going to have to contend with,” Grimes explained. “And if she’s going to have any real healing, she’s going to have to get to the root of, honestly, her opinion of herself and who she really, really is.”
Power Couple Status
Ever since Mariah and Tessa fell in love in 2017, they haven’t gotten over each other. Grimes believes that love is still there. Even though she didn’t mean to, she compared them to (Eric Braeden) and Nikki (Melody Thomas Scott), who are also going through a rough patch.
At first, Grimes called Victor and Nikki an “iconic” couple. Then she added, “Just saying, if they can keep going back to each other, I think there’s absolutely a world in which these characters can heal and reconcile.”
Teriah fans are outraged about Mariah and Tessa’s breakup. Grimes reciprocated the love and reminded them that she didn’t come up with the idea. For now, she’s asking the fans to “hold on” to that hope.
