Days of Our Lives: Cady McClain RETURNS As Jennifer Horton Deveraux, But Where’s Melissa Reeves?

Another character swap on Days of Our Lives! We know swapping out characters is pretty common in soap operas. It’s a clever way to keep the drama rolling, especially when the original actors aren’t available. This is exactly what’s happening with the DOOL character Jennifer Horton Deveraux. If you’re up to date with the show, you’ll want to pay attention. It is because there’s some interesting news about who’s stepping into Jennifer’s role and when. Read on!

DOOL Welcomes Cady, Melissa’s Absence Noted

The latest Days of Our Lives spoilers suggest that Cady McClain will return as Jennifer Horton Deveraux starting August 16. But we’ve been hearing that Melissa Reeves is coming back, so what’s the scoop? Well, Reeves will be back, but a little later this year. She is set to return for Doug Williams’ memorial. Melissa will be part of the special tribute episode dedicated to him.

Moreover, it’s a fitting moment for her comeback, as classic Jennifer is needed for this significant event. Meanwhile, Jennifer’s presence is crucial for the ongoing mystery surrounding AnnaLynne McCord’s character. What about it? There’s a DNA test on the drawing board to determine if McCord’s character is really Abigail DiMera.

Since this plotline is hitting the ceiling, Cady McClain’s Jennifer will step in to handle the unfolding drama. Additionally, it’s safe to say that McClain’s Jennifer will play detective to dig deep into the situation in Salem. The DOOL character will question Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) and likely put Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn) under serious scrutiny.

Plus, there’s bound to be a dramatic moment when Jennifer squares off against AnnaLynne McCord’s character. It will be a shocker, especially if the DNA results confirm some surprising twists! Looking ahead, Melissa Reeves will reprise her role once Cady completes her stint in the Abigail storyline. Furthermore, the actress is set to make her comeback in November.

She’ll be here just in time for Thanksgiving. She will stay through Doug’s memorial in December. Get ready for some tear-jerking family moments! We are looking forward to seeing how the storylines unfold with these changes. Make sure to catch Cady McClain’s first appearance back on August 16.
