When Theresa Donovan returned to Salem, she expected to return to family life with Brady Black and their son Tate. However, that was not the case. Theresa returned home to find that Brady had started a romance with her older sister, Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva), per Monsters and Critics. The two had even gotten engaged while he was away.

Theresa was devastated, and to make matters worse, she was forced to fight Brady and Eve for custody of her young son (via Soaps). Theresa’s old friend JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss) was there for her during tough times. He helped her through it all and Theresa finally got full custody of little Tate.

After the custody hearing, cooler heads prevailed and Theresa and Brady agreed to share custody of their son. Soon after, Theresa learned that her mother’s cancer had returned and decided to leave Salem to return home to California so she could help care for her mother, according to Soaps in Depth. Theresa took Tate to California with her and Brady was forced to say an emotional goodbye to her child.

Although Brady has had many romantic relationships over the years, “Days of Our Lives” viewers enjoyed his time with Theresa. Although the pair are not together now, there is still hope that they will reunite in the future.
