Storylines
Jeremy is introduced when Robin Jacobs (Derya Ruggles) returns to Salem in 1989 revealing to Mike Horton (Michael T. Weiss) she had given birth to their son.
Jeremy (Donovan) returns to Salem in 2007, when Stephanie Johnson (Shelley Hennig) introduces him and his friend, Jett Carver, to her cousin, Chelsea Brady. Jeremy and Chelsea develop an immediate dislike for one another, whereas Jett develops an interest in her. Jeremy and Jett, both pilots, are planning to launch a private flight service, known as Touch the Sky Airlines, in which high rollers from Salem would be flown to Las Vegas once a week. Chelsea and Stephanie agree to become flight attendants and Max Brady (Darin Brooks) joins as a financial backer. Stephanie angers Jeremy and as a result he puts her head underwater in a hot tub, nearly drowning her, revealing his abusive side to Stephanie. However, he covered this up by declaring how much he loves to be with her. Prior to his return to Salem, Jeremy was incarcerated after he had stolen a car for a joyride and shoplifted when he was younger, he was also convicted of fraud because he set up a bogus charity for cancer-afflicted children and used the proceeds on a condominium and sports car. Hoping to set his life on the right track again, Jeremy leaves Salem.
In 2025, Julie reveals to Stephanie (Abigail Klein) that Jeremy (Roark) has a new job and is returning to Salem.
