Days Of Our Lives Spoilers: Jennifer Horton Returns, Melissa Reeves Appears For Bill Hayes Tribute
Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Jennifer Horton is returning to the Peacock soap opera. There is a bit of casting roulette since Melissa “Missy” Reeves is reprising the role.
For the past few years, the character of Jennifer has been played by Cady McClain. We also have details on when to expect Jennifer to return to Salem, and how it plays into the tribute for Bill Hayes, who played Doug Williams for decades before his passing.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – Melissa Reeves Explains Cady McClain Situation
Days of Our Lives spoilers reveal that Melissa wanted to make it clear that she isn’t taking anything away from Cady. Melissa wanted to be sure that Cady was 100% okay with this and wasn’t being snubbed in any way.
Of course, being the professional that she is, Cady was not only okay with it, but was probably really supportive and encouraging. Now, that is women supporting women and we are all here for it!
“My one thing was [when Melissa got the call to return], ‘I’m not taking this away from Cady. If this is Cady’s thing and she loves being here and she really loves playing this part, I don’t want to take it away from her.
I’m so good either way. I’m a huge fan of Cady’s. I even Instagram messaged her, ‘Oh, my God, I’m so grateful you’re playing my part! I’m honored.’ But it worked out.”
