DAYS: March 2025 Spoilers

[janea4old]

 

This isn't entirely a spoiler, it's TV insider linking to another website ..
a random feature by "swooon.com".
Swooon (with 3 o's) is a new "romance-themed" magazine that is a sister publication to TVInsider/TVGuide.
They do articles on real-life celebrity couples,
and interviews with actors who play or played fictional couples.

But sometimes the choices seem random.
They did a Valentine's Day feature with Jason Thompson and Courtney Hope
about the current Y&R Billy/Sally pairing.
Seems unimportant and I don't know why they picked them.

So I think this is more like "oh let's interview two soap actors who play (or played) a couple, and ask them questions."  Of course they'd ask Beemer and Martha if Shelle is endgame, but that's just a question you'd expect.

(It seems that the Shawn/Jada pairing may continue in some form for a while, as there was a Beemer/Cantu photoshoot for the 60th anniversary in November.)

The full article mentions a few points of the interview-  Here's the link:
https://www.swooon.com/1181593/days-of-our-lives-shawn-belle-romance-brandon-beemer-martha-madison/

The actual interview is a 21-minute video, which was embedded inside the article, but hard to see unless you disable adblocker, etc.
It's 21 minutes of discussion of many topics, when they first began working together, stuff about their lives, past storylines, Drake Hogestyn, DAYS supercouples of the past, where their characters might be headed. And what it's like being recasts.

They also put it up on the swooon youtube channel below...

Emily O’Brien interview.
https://soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/news/772809/theresa-back-tate-baby/

Quoting snippets of what Ms. O’Brien said. 
(Omitting all the commentary of the article author)

O’Brien was surprised that Days was bringing back Theresa.
“We shot this last summer — I think July — and I’d gotten a call in maybe April, May, somewhere around there, ‘Are you interested in coming back? There’s something we wanna have you come in for as Theresa.’
“They told me it was only gonna be however long it was gonna be in the storyline around it. So I said, ‘Yeah, sure,’ and there I was, back in the wig, back in the heels, back in Salem.”

But If you think Theresa’s coming out of prison having softened on the Holly/Tate relationship, think again.
“I don’t think she would ever ease up on that,” O’Brien makes clear. “No, she has always put her foot down about what she thinks of Holly, and how serious she is about making sure that they do not have any sort of romantic relationship again.” But, she chuckles, “there’s only so much you can do when you’re in prison, right?”

Brady, O’Brien says, has been keeping Theresa mostly up-to-date on Tate’s problems, but there was still a surprise or two waiting for her! 
“Obviously,” O’Brien notes, “Sophia was pregnant, so she just assumes, ‘All right, he’s moved on from Holly to Sophia.’”
As O’Brien laughs, “Now you’ve got this huge other factor, which is fatherhood. So I don’t know what’s better!”

this return isn’t about making things worse for Tate, but to support him, “and to sort of give her blessing about giving up the baby for adoption.” 

Theresa gets some life-changing news while she’s in town — that doesn’t have anything to do with becoming a grandmother! 

O’Brien will be back this summer as Gwen once again. 
(Of  that return, O’Brien just says the storyline that lured her back as Gwen, “was very intriguing. That was what I was very receptive to. But I can’t tell you what that story is!”)

Is it me or does Theresa's exit sound final? It feels like the writers are basically closing the door on her as a character for good, which would explain Emily's comment about "tying up loose ends". I wonder what kind of life-changing news she gets that forces her to basically leave town on such short notice?
