In October 2020, "Days of Our Lives" fans watched as Melissa Reeves' character, Jennifer Horton, was recast. Soap opera vet Cady McClain stepped into the role and was a success, per Soaps in Depth. Although it took fans some time to adjust to the new Jennifer, McClain hit it out of the park with her portrayal of the legacy character. Of course, McClain is no stranger to the soap world. In the past, she has portrayed characters such as Dixie Cooney on "All My Children," Rosanna Cabot on "As The World Turns," and Kelly Andrews on "The Young and the Restless," per Soaps.
So, when McClain stepped into the role of Jennifer on "Days of Our Lives" she knew what to expect. During her time on the soap opera, McClain's Jennifer dealt with some high drama, including the infidelity of her husband, Jack Deveraux, and the death of her mother, Laura Horton. Although McClain's stint as the character wasn't a long one, she certainly garnered attention for her work. Following her time in the role, McClain won the Daytime Emmy for Outstanding Guest Performance in a Drama Series. (via Deadline).
However, "Days of Our Lives" fans hadn't seen the last of McClain following her first exit.
