‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Jennifer Horton leaving Salem as portrayer Cady McClain finishes run with the show.

‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers find that Jennifer Horton will soon be heading out of Salem. Cady McClain temporarily took over the iconic role from Melissa Reeves who played legacy character Jennifer on and off or thirty years.

Reeves decided to not return to the NBC set when production resumed after the pandemic-driven hiatus. Reeves commutes from her home in Nashville to the Los Angeles set and decided this was not a safe option for her until the Covid-19 crisis is over.

Well, the pandemic is not over, and now that McClain’s temporary tenure is done, it means we will no longer have Jennifer on our screens. And nobody knows how long she will be gone.

Since McClain took over the role she has said farewell to best friend and cousin, Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso), discovered that her husband, Jack Devereaux (Matthew Ashford) had an affair with Kate Roberts (Lauren Koslow) while Jennifer was in a coma, discovered her husband has a very vengeful love child, Gwen Rizczech (Emily O’Brien) and then, to top things off, has just discovered her mother, Dr. Laura Horton (Jamie Lyn Bauer) died by vengeful Gwen’s hand! Did we mention Cady has only been on our TVs since September! No wonder Jennifer needs a break.

‘Days of Our Lives’ Spoilers: Fans will be saying goodbye to Jennifer on Wednesday, February 17, McClain’s final episode.

While Reeves and Days producers have stuck with the party line of Covid complications when it comes to Reeves not returning to the show, not all fans believe it is that simple. Prior to her departure, Reeves was embroiled in a social media controversy when she ‘liked’ several anti-Black Lives Matter posts from right-wing activist Candace Owens on Instagram.

Reeves was taken to task on Twitter by co-stars Linsey Godfrey (Sarah Horton), Lamon Archey (Eli Grant) and Martha Madison (Belle Black), condemning Reeves for her racism, homophobia, transphobia and xenophobia. The homophobic and transphobic accusations stemmed from the support Reeves has previously expressed for antigay fast food chain Chick-fil-A.

All in all, it doesn’t sound like it would be a very welcoming environment if Reeves does eventually choose to return to work on the DOOL set. There won’t be many shocked fans if the role of Jennifer is eventually recast permanently.

If so, would you like to see Cady McClain back or do you think Days needs to find a completely different actress? Let us know in the comments section below and watch Days of Our Lives on Wednesday at 1pm ET on NBC to say goodbye to Jennifer. For now.
