Actress Emily O’Brien, who recently joined the cast of Days of Our Lives as a recast for the character Theresa Donovan, is urging her fans to be open-minded about the transition. The recasting decision has raised mixed responses among the show’s audience, with some viewers questioning whether O’Brien has the right to take over such a beloved character.
In a recent interview, O’Brien recognized fans’ concerns and asked them to “keep an open mind” about what her portrayal of Theresa could bring to the serial drama. “I understand how people become attached to certain actors in certain roles, but I just ask they keep an open mind. I’m excited for what’s to come,” she said.
O’Brien is no stranger to soap operas, having previously appeared in The Young and The Restless as Jana Hawkes. She also believes her version of Theresa has the potential to provide a new perspective on the character and offer interesting storylines.
