Hey, Days fans! Get ready for some major drama in Salem as we dive into a possible return of Theresa
Donovan that could shake things up in a big way. After serving a six-month sentence for her various
crimes, Theresa might be coming back with a little more than just baggage—she could be sporting a baby
bump with a big question mark over who the father is.
Theresa’s recent escapades have been nothing short of scandalous. Before her stint in Statesville, she was involved with not one, but two men. First, there was her wild fling with Brady Black, which left them both caught in a compromising position by Alex Kiriakis. This shock pushed Alex to propose to Theresa, but their marriage fell apart almost instantly when Fiona Cook dropped a bombshell: Alex wasn’t the true heir to the Kiriakis fortune—his brother Xander was. The fallout was swift, with Theresa trying to flee, only to be caught by Xander at the airport. In a surprising turn of events, Theresa decided to turn herself in to the authorities, thanks to a little push from Maggie Horton.
Now, with Theresa’s six-month sentence nearing its end, the possibility of her return looms large. Rumors are swirling that Emily O’Brien, who has taken over the role of Theresa, might be back on screen by early 2025, and she could very well return to Salem with a seven-month baby bump. The big mystery? Whether Brady or Alex is the father.
Of course, this wouldn’t be the first time Brady has found himself in a messy baby situation. Remember how Kristen DiMera deceived him into thinking he was sleeping with Nicole Walker, only for him to later discover he had fathered a child with Kristen? If Theresa’s baby turns out to be Brady’s, it would mean a younger sibling for their son, Tate. But if Alex is the father, it could push him into a whole new role, especially now that his father, Justin Kiriakis, is back in his life.
Theresa’s return could also coincide with some other major shake-ups in Salem. Brady’s current fling with Fiona Cook is a disaster waiting to happen—especially if Fiona frames Brady for a hit-and-run that leaves Dr. Sarah Horton injured. If Brady ends up behind bars, he might find himself sharing a cell block with his ex, adding even more drama to the mix.
As for Alex, things with Stephanie Johnson are far from settled, and if she moves on with Chad DiMera, Alex could find himself single and vulnerable when Theresa returns. Whether or not he’s the father, the idea of becoming a dad might be enough to pull him back into Theresa’s orbit.
So, will Theresa come back to Salem with a baby on the way? And if she does, will it be Brady or Alex who steps up as the father? We’ll have to wait and see, but one thing’s for sure—Theresa’s return is set to turn Salem upside down. Stay tuned, Days fans, because this storyline is sure to be one for the ages!
