I’m kind of liking that they are finally giving a little more depth to the character of Melinda Trask. She’s finally becoming a little more relatable as a regular human, other than just the soul-sucking viper of a DA.
He's filling in for Greg Vaughan (Eric) while he was gone earlier this year

Nice looking guy. It'll be interesting to see what he brings to the table as Eric.

Yeah, it is a short stint. Seems of late even other original actors of various characters are also showing up for a very short visit (Ava, Harris, Eve, for instance. )
However, as Kat pointed out, Jason only filled in for Greg Vaughan (Eric is the character) for a short period as Greg was unable to film at the time - which was probably back in Feb, I believe......... (yep they sure do film way too far in advance!)

Looks like they nailed the casting. Just looked up both and they’re a year apart age-wise, and one inch different in height. Wonder if he’ll use that same gravelly whisper when talking?

Yeah, Eric always sounds like he has one foot in the grave!

What if we like the “new” Eric better ?

Eve may be returning to Salem at just the right time. With Mayor Abe in amnesialand a special election may be in the offing. As we know from the “I’m with Jack” scenario. Eve can turn almost anyone into a successful mayoral candidate.

Jason Gerhardt could so be recast as Bonnie's son, Patrick Lockheart, for sure! Or even as Peter Blake DiMera.
Also to answer DrBakerFan, now that I am thinking about it, really Eve is guilty of doing the same thing Whitley did to Abe, just like Eve did to Jack with no memory during his campaign. Sure there was truth about Jack and Eve being married for 24 hours but Eve took advantage the same.

Partly true, but Eve didn't drug Jack and keep him locked up in the apartment.
All I can say is good grief about this and yes it's true 
Emily O'Brien now plays Gwen
For those who can't read tweet
Rumor going around that Emily O'Brien (Gwen) is taking over the role as of Theresa after Jen Lilley makes quick return.
Look like Days will pull a Robert Scott Wilson (Ben to Alex) move

Except Robert Scott Wilson had played both Ben and Alex & is now down to just one character. Emily O'Brien has only played Gwen, who has a British accent. Theresa has only been played by Jen Lilley, and does not have a British accent. They do not look alike at all. Rumor it must be.

I've heard Emily O'Brien (Gwen) use an American accent, so it's not impossible for her to play Jeannie T, if this true.
Because why?
I mean really why? Gwen has overstayed and now Theresa is coming. Swell.

So Theresa is going to return from CA with Tate, of course, and Brady will be involved.
Why have Jen Lilley return at all? Even for a short time. Why not Emily O'Brien (Gwen). from Day 1, if she is going to portray Theresa with no British accent, then why not at the start??

Because Tate's great-grandfather is Victor. I'm sure Tate and Victor had a fabulous relationship.
I'm guessing that's why Theresa and Tate are returning.

Why not just hire another actress if Jen Lilley is not able to stay longer to portray Theresa Donovan? Why have Emily O'Brien play two different characters? That makes no sense.
Robert Scott Wilson played both Ben and Alex but Ben is not in Salem anymore.
If Emily O’Brien plays Gwen and Theresa at the same time, with both being in Salem, that’s a lazy and ridiculous choice of the writers/producers. It makes me think they are killing off Gwen’s character or Gwen leaves Salem so the actress will play Theresa.
Recasting is one thing - but having one actress playing two unrelated characters simultaneously is ludicrous.
