Days of Our Lives (DOOL) spoilers reveal that Cady McClain just scored a Daytime Emmy victory, so will Jennifer Horton Deveraux return following this big win? Now might be a great time to capitalize on the buzz and let McClain reclaim the role.
At the 48th Annual Daytime Emmy Awards, Cady McClain ended up taking home the statuette for Outstanding Guest Performer in a Drama Series. McClain did some fantastic work, especially considering she served as a recast for an incredibly established Days star and character.
It didn’t take many fans long to warm up to McClain’s portrayal after she took over for Melissa Reeves. Reeves didn’t want to film during the pandemic, so McClain took her place and helped wrap up a story that had already been written.
Jennifer was then written out again – giving Reeves the chance to step back in if she wanted.
There’s always a chance Reeves will indeed end up making a comeback down the road, but McClain was a lovely recast and could easily be called on again if Reeves isn’t interested.
Carlivati tweeted out some comments that could prove telling about Jennifer’s future on the show.
“So happy for you, Cady! You stepped into some very big shoes and made the role your own! XOXO #days,” Carlivati said on Twitter. It’s interesting that Carlivati chose to focus on how McClain made the role her own – and she indeed did!
Reeves’ portrayal will always be memorable and hold a special place in plenty of viewers’ hearts, but recasts are just part of the soap biz.
McClain managed to offer the overall vibe of Jennifer while still putting her own spin on things, so she certainly qualifies as a successful recast.
Here’s what McClain had to say after her latest victory. “Wow. I am so honored and grateful for the opportunity to step in for this special storyline,” McClain tweeted. “A major thank you to the FANS who supported me to walk in the shoes of a beloved favorite and do my own thing.”
Now that McClain has picked up this Daytime Emmy win, it seals the deal even further that she’s Jennifer and could make an exciting return. After all, how long can it possibly take to settle Laura Horton’s (Jaime Lyn Bauer) affairs in Boston?
That excuse is becoming ridiculous – and Jack Deveraux (Matthew Ashford) needs his wife home where she belongs.
It’d be awesome to see Cady McClain make a DOOL comeback as Jennifer, so let’s hope she’ll return down the road and get caught up in more Salem drama. We’ll provide updates as other Days news becomes available.
