Days of Our Lives: Who Will Jackée Harry Be Connected With?
When Jackée comes to Days of Our Lives, who will she be connected to? There are many possibilities there. Days of Our Lives just do not add people without them having some hidden past or family revelation or a connection with another character.
One of the connections that Jackée’s character could explore would be Abe. That seems like a too obvious choice. Abe anyway needs a love interest, so, this pair would seem nice. Days of Our Lives would not bring in Jackée if they did not have any character plans for her. Maybe this new character is somehow connected to Ava or Kristen maybe?
Jackée Harry is the latest addition to Days of Our Lives. Keeping in mind the soap opera’s shooting schedule, viewers can expect to see her on-screen either in late January or early February maybe? It will be interesting to see how her character is developed and what she brings to the table. We will keep updating you with all the new information about the show as we get it. So, you stay tuned.
