OMG! You are so kidding. Sorry, but I think she’s too old. Or maybe I’m just in time warp. Either way, enough. I’d rather have Charlotte Ross back. I’m just not happy with all these newbies coming on, even if they play existing characters.

So is Kassie moving to CA or will she carpool with Thorsten?

And does this mean Kim and Shane are returning? For more than a meal at the publ?

As much as I love Kassie… I think this is a miscast. Kassie is six years younger than her supposed father Charles Shaughnessy. I understand it is the world of soaps to try to have actors play roles different from their own age…but really I just don’t buy this one.

I am crushed about this. I was so excited about Charlotte Ross returning. At a loss for words, actually. One role I dreaded about being recast. I am especially devastated because Charlotte was tweeting with DAYS fans recently and seemed very excited about the prospect of returning. I now know how the Peter Reckell fans felt when Robert Kelker Kelly stepped into the role. It really hurts! I respect Kassie’s acting, but Charlotte just touched my soul as Eve. I don’t want to let her go.

Thrilled!

I am excited to see her take on the role and maybe give Theresa a wake up call but I am embarrassed to say when I heard the news I was wondering ;exactly how old is Shane?

I think they knew that Ali Sweeney was leaving so they needed to bring a similar type character/actress to the show. I say they need to bring on Vincent Irizarry as Peter Blake too and maybe even Jack too!

I am glad to see kassie come onto days. I love onelife to live and glad she is coming. she is a great actress and she can sing too. that has to be a plus. hopefully we will be able to see a lot of music on there now. I loved when they used to have that with Melissa.

Guess Ill be checking into Salem after I give Genoa City the heave hoe!

She’s Eve? I was hoping 4 Charlotte Ross!!! Mixed feelings here!!!Hopefully, she’s still Jordans momma!!! Theresa will now have her half sister to worry about!!!

Wow congrats kassie, so happy for her. I wanted kassie to play kristen dimera. so maybe eileen davidson might come come back as kristen, in the near future. Kassie is a wonderful actress.

I had to wait and see some fan response

I too feel deflated – let down

and a fan be damned…. If i don’t know how good Charlotte Ross could have been as Eve…. with Theresa, Kimberly, and Shane…. this would have been the perfect family to catapult the brady-donovan tribe

just loaded with femme fatale and the uber himself hottie Shane.

I had hoped that Kassie would have come on as Jordan’ mother.. or another horton or brady…

be that as it may…. I fully support DAYS

darned ??? I wonder if TPTB offered Charlotte Ross something… and it wasn’t to her liking?

Welcome to Days Kassie DePaiva!

I’ll be looking forward to seeing how this plays out on screen.

Despite thinking Kassie is tremendous, my first thought was she was too old for Eve. But, then I looked up Charlotte Ross and found she is 46. And, Kassie can pull off younger so it might well work.

Charlotte tweeted that she had to decline her “fave role” due to other projects.

I don’t know why people are complaining about Kassie being to old for the role,she is only 6 years older than Ross.

I love the Eve character, & I love Charlotte Ross. Im so sad its not her coming back, with Sami leaving Days could use Ross. I like Casie, she’s the next best thing, but Ross would have been so much better.

Love Kassie, but this is going to be a hard sell, at least for me. I remember Eve very well and I don’t see KDP in the role. Sorry. But like other former Prospect Park actors who were left high and dry when the shows were cancelled, she has a right to try other soaps and make a living, so I wish her well. I’ll give her a chance because she’s a terrific actress, and because I’m glad that she’s not waiting around for the GH team to make her an offer to play some new character and do to her what they’ve done to KA, RH and ME. But it’s another odd recast choice done by a soap IMO and it will take me awhile to accept it.

gosh darn it! I’m Pissed!

Charlotte Ross’ Eve with her equal, daring, sultry, tigress… Theresa would have suited me to a T

add in the equally spitfire Kimberly
and dashing dear big daddy Shane….

and this would have been the #1 family on DAYS

I don’t know her acting… Kassie DePaiva’

so… it’s a 4 month wait

You’ve got to be kidding! Kassie is ok but Charlotte is Eve!! I did like Kassie as Chelsea Reardom on Guiding light tho so maybe it will work out

I love Kassie. I think she can pull it off. It’s been like 23 years since Charlotte Ross was Eve. Can’t wait to watch!

i love Kassie Depaiva,but i don,t see her in this role,maybe she should,ve done what the other soap stars did n get herself in a web soap opera ,those soaps r pretty good ,even better than some of the soaps that are on T.V.,right now

Kassie is a fantastic actress and there is no doubt she will blow the ratings off the chart. But then I am saddened to know Blair is gone, I wish it would of been OLTL being brought back. But I will support Kassie and watch Days along with GH, Y&R and B&B. Long may I soaps live. Amen 🙂

There is only a 5 year age difference between Kip and cr

Great news- she is a good actor. Charlotte no longer looks like the young Eve we all remember. Plus- have you seen Charles S recently? He DEF looks old enough to play Kassie’s dad.

Love Kassie DePaiva and those who do not know her will, too! As for this age problem, Charlotte Ross is 46 and that makes her 12 years Charles Shaughnessy’s junior. DePaiva is 52 and looks younger. Just last year, Eileen Davidson was tramping around as Kristen DiMera. In daytime, age is relative and the years between generations shrinks as everyone SORA’s or returns after their stints in boardsing schools or rehab! One post noted it has been 23 years since Charlotte Ross was on DAYS as Eve. History can be adjusted.

I think KDP is a miscast as Eve Donovan. I wish Wendy Muniz was available. To bad she is on that awful prime time show Betrayal. Wendy would be bad a$$ as Eve Donovan. I just can’t imagine Kassie in scenes with Shane Donovan and Kim Brady.

I was looking forward to seeing KDP in a new role but this seems like a total miscast. I have a feeling we’re all just going to see Blair scenes instead of Eve.

Even though KDP looks good for her age I don’t know why she always has to play someone 10 years younger. Eve is suppose to be the same age as Jennifer. It’s going to look really weird.

This is a really good recast in theory. I look forward to seeing her onscreen. I would love to see Frankie return and maybe an interesting love triangle between Eve, Frankie and Jennifer.

Congrats Cassie! I always hoped you would take on the role of OLTL matriarch once the great Ms. Slezak retired. With that not possible I am happy for your new path. I never watched DOOL but will go to see you. Once again Congratulations!

Congrats Kassie , now All we need is Erika Slezak and Robin S on TV again

KDP not only replaced an Asian actress as Blair, she made that role hers. I have no doubts she can do the same with the Eve character and I hope FV & RC see what a big mistake they made
not hiring her@GH. She could have helped them make Franco acceptable which he isn’t to the majority of the fans despite how much they like RH. So fellow KDP fans lets show GH what they’re missing by helping Days get high ratings especially when Kassie arrives. Days has been must see tv lately. I wish her the best of luck.

This is a complete and utter miscast. Not much else to say. Its strange that Kassie is experiencing the same thing as Roger Howarth. Out of all the characters they could have chlsen for him to play, they made the worst possible choice in having him be Franco. And same hong with Kassie. There was an instance several years ago where Beth Ehlers was promoted and hailed as the new Liza Colby on AMC. But that decision was changed. I sincerely hope that the powers that be read fan forums like this and realize that while hiring Kassie is awesome, hiring her as this particular character is a HUGE mistake.

Another perspective about actors ages & parts….in The Manchurian Candidate, Angela Lansbury played Laurence Harvey’s mother and there was only a 3 year age difference between them.

Fantastic news. Kassie will be a great Eve Donovan.

I think society in general is too “hung up” on age. It seems to me she is in the general age range of the character and if the Producers didn’t think she could pull it off they wouldn’t have hired her. To my eyes, at 52 she looks closer to 42 so it’s no big deal. As for her former role as Blair on ONE LIFE TO LIVE, if the show ever resurfaces, as some say it may, she could always reprise that role if asked. Unfortunately, not that I have any “inside scoop”, it seems doubtful that OLTL could return although Prospect Park never officially Cancelled it – only time will tell what that show’s ultimate fate will be.

A total MISCAST sorry but they should have waited for Charlotte to be available, I am doubtful of Kassie pulling off being Eve and what is with the rumour of her being Jordan’s mother? Shane has a grown grandchild he knows nothing about? Come on Days do this right or leave my fave Days family The Donovan’s ALONE! My only silver lining is that we might get to see more of Shane AND Kim but I would be worried about what they would do to them also…UGH # DaysFail

I am looking forward to seeing what kassie does with the role and i love charlotte as well and am excited to see her on nashville. TPTB did approach cr first but she had other commitments. I cannot wait to watch kassie on days i have missed seeing her daytime. This is great news to me

I think it is nice that Days is making room for actors from cancelled soaps. Sorry things did not work out with Ms. Ross, but it is a nice opportunity for Ms. DePaiva.

cool love her

I’ll tune back in now! BUT they really need to recast Jennifer! She’s going to look even worse of an actress next to Kassie!!!!

Having lived through the soap opera SORAS with our son Carmen LoPorto as Jack Manning on OLTL, the fans were very upset also but over time they all adjusted to the change. I am sure that Kassie will do a wonderful job portraying Eve. She is an extremely talented actress and beautiful inside and out. Good luck Kassie…. Lynn and Carmen LoPorto

I think this is great I love Cassie and she will bring added depth to the character. GREAT news!

Isn’t Eve just Shane’s daughter? I thought he had a daughter when he met Kim.. I am probably wrong but I thought Eve caused a lot of trouble between Kim and Shane..

Boo. Sorry, I like her and all, but there was no one like the original, and I cannot think of her name right now, but she was Eve.

Would have preferred Charlotte Ross to come back. At least they would have been able to show old story lines. Not happy about their decision to bring in someone new.

I’ve been watching DOOL since the beginning and we’ll remember Charlotte Ross’ s Eve. I am not liking Kassie DePaiva’s portrayal no matter what her age. She’s not coming across as natural and is really spoiling DOOL for me. I may not be able to watch on the days she is “on”. I’ve never seen her on any other soap so I can’t speak to how well she portrayed other characters but this is NOT a good fit for her or the show”

She is definitely not at all suitable to play Eve as Charlotte Ross was a petite little doll…It’s hard to believe her as Eve…change please….

I believe Eve deserve a change. Cant wait to here her sing.

Three actors that dool could do without are: eve donavan, serena (a newcomer) and melanie jonas. They are really boring. I forward thru their scenes whenever they are on!
