Days Of Our Lives” (“DOOL”) star Jen Lilley appears to be missing her character Theresa Donovan so much that she may be headed back to NBC’s long-running soap in no time at all.

Three months after the 32-year-old confirmed reports that she’s leaving “DOOL,” she’s seen getting together with co-star Meredith Scott Lynn to run some lines. Lilley posted a photo of herself with Lynn on Twitter and captioned it, “Running lines with @MeredithSLynn ! What!?” Fans wondered whether she’s just helping Lynn prepare for her scenes. However, Lilley was holding what looked like her own copy of a script.



After being part of “Days Of Our Lives” for three years, Lilley bid goodbye to her character earlier in June. She took to Instagram to announce her exit. “It is with bittersweet sentiment that I find myself making this statement 6 months too soon,” she wrote. “I have never enjoyed playing a character so much. I absolutely love Theresa, and the idea of not playing her pains me.”

Lilley cited focusing on her family, charity and pursuing other career opportunities as her reasons for her departure. “I hate to dissatisfy our love for black and white explanations, but there’s no one to point your finger at here,” she wrote. “‘Days of Our Lives’ and I are parting company on the best of terms. It came down to time and the sacrifices required to keep Theresa on the front burner. Given the demanding production schedule a soap requires, that just wasn’t possible with the other commitments and opportunities I wanted to pursue.”

She gave her fans of sliver of hope that she won’t be gone for good. She added, “As we all know in the world of soaps, goodbye for now isn’t always good bye forever, who knows what the future has in store for Theresa.” Lilley also uploaded a similar teasing post on her Twitter account.



Earlier this month, Lilley was reported to be working on a Lifetime movie titled “Mommy, I Didn’t Do It,” which brings her together with “DOOL” co-stars James Lastovic and Paige Searcy, as well as “The Bold and the Beautiful” star Heather Tom.
