Emily O’Brien earns another Emmy nomination for her role in Days of Our Lives; however, the actress doesn’t think she will win. The 40-year-old says she appreciates the recognition but sees the nomination as a celebration of her work rather than a sure win.
Emily O’Brien ‘wasn’t expecting to have a nomination’ at this year’s Emmy for her DoOL role
Emily O’Brien replaced Jen Lilley for the role of Theresa on Days of Our Lives. She revealed that it shocked her. Because she “wasn’t expecting to have a nomination as Theresa.” Explaining, she said it was tough to make the character her own and find her “footing.”
Through her Emmy-nominated role on Days of Our Lives, Emily O’Brien proves her range as a soap actress. She also has The Young and the Restless under her experience. She has also realized how important Theresa’s wig has become in her part. O’Brien joked that she might take it as a date to the Awards.
However, the actress feels that she might not win this year. Per Soap Opera Digest, she said, “I even thought about bringing the wig with me as a date! I’d have to mention the wig in there somewhere [if she were called to make an acceptance speech], but I’m not thinking that far ahead. I really don’t think it’s my year. I’m just happy to be on this ride again and alongside Linsey [Godfrey, Sarah, who was also nominated for Supporting Actress] for a second time. That part is just the most fun, and it’s enough for me just to have that fun right now!”
Even though Emily O’Brien thinks she will not win the Emmy for her role on Days of Our Lives, she says she will still get nervous. Despite that, she has her groundwork laid out. It is to manage the nerves, be present in the moment, and enjoy it.
