In 2021, Jan Spears returned to “Days of Our Lives” after being brought out of a coma by the devil, who was possessing Dr. Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) at the time. The devil then made a partnership with Jan and transformed Jan to look just like Belle Black (Martha Madison) so that she could seduce Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer). All was going according to plan until the real Belle walked in on her husband in bed with someone who looked exactly like her. Both Shawn and Belle were stunned, especially after they learned that the imposter was Jan. Months later it was revealed that she was pregnant with Shawn’s baby, per Soaps in Depth.
“I think she’s hoping that this baby will connect her to Shawn in a new way,” Lindell said of her on-screen alter-ego Jan during an interview with TV Insider. “The best-case scenario is the baby will make him fall in love with her and he’ll forget Belle ever existed. They’ll become the family of her dreams: Jan, Shawn, and their baby. That’s her hope,” the actress added.
In addition, Lindell also spoke out about how she felt about rejoining “DOOL.”
