Days of our Lives star Cherie Jimenez recently shared that she owed a fan for sending a piece of information that helped her with some recent scenes.

Key Takeaways

• Cherie Jimenez had to relive a Gabi storyline that was played by Camila Banus.
• The actresses nailed the emotional scene and had DAYS fans talking.
• Jimenez shared a secret about her prep for the scene.

Channeling Pain She Wasn’t A Part Of Is All In A Day’s Work

Last week, Gabi (Jimenez) opened up to Arianna (Marissa Reyes) about all the drama surrounding her birth. Gabi’s sympathy for Sophia (Rachel Boyd) forced her to come clean to her daughter.

It was an emotional moment as Gabi relived lying to Will (Chandler Massey) and her abusive relationship with Nick (Blake Berris). The kicker for the scene was that at the time the drama unfolded on DAYS, Camila Banus was playing Gabi.

Jimenez, though, didn’t miss a beat, making fans feel the pain as Gabi had to look back on her own mistakes and tell her daughter the truth. One fan rightfully gushed over Jimenez’s work in the scene on X.

“Cherie Jimenez was so good showing Gabi’s pain over the circumstances of Ari’s birth and her messy relationship with Nick that you think she played those original scenes. Great work. DAYS,” read the caption.

The actress shared the X with insight into how she was able channel the guilt and pain Gabi felt from that time, since she wasn’t playing the character.

“Thank you so much. Dool Fan sent me the wedding scene where Chad stopped the wedding, and I did a little research on the history to understand what Gabi was going through,” Jimenez shared.

It’s been over a year since Jimenez has been playing Gabi, and she’s done an amazing job of making Gabi her own while staying true to the character.
