Something unexpected happened on today’s episode of Days of our Lives, or was it unexpected? JJ (Casey Moss) and Eve (Kassie DePaiva) found themselves down in the dumps and together! First, JJ has just had a terrible fight with girlfriend Paige (True O’Brien) over her wanting to have sex with him! JJ keeps holding back, due to his conflicting emotions in part, because his father Jack was a rapist and Paige knows about it! Meanwhile, Eve is distraught after learning from the doctors that she can’t have her vocal chord surgery, and she will never be able to sing again. And that sets up the perfect recipe for these two characters to seek solace with each other … and, what do you know? They have hot sex!
Will JJ and Eve become an item or is it a one time fling? Will JJ become caught between mother and daughter? Will Jennifer (Melissa Reeves) lose her grip whenever she finds out what happened between her son and her arch-rival? On-Air On-Soaps caught with DAYS young star Casey Moss to get some answers, and to get the details on working with daytime favorite Kassie DePaiva in the steamy scenes!
The big game-changer! Eve and JJ have sex! What brought them together to have the hot steamy encounter?

CASEY: JJ and Paige had a terrible fight. He goes to her apartment to find her, and Eve was there. We start talking and Eve starts crying over the surgery she is suppose to get on her vocal chords as she won’t be able to sing anymore, and they both have been drinking.
So, she’s drunk, and he’s buzzed! That equals – sex on the soaps!
CASEY: Yup! We both feel alone at this time, and the music has this unstoppable attraction for them, and it holds them and gives them sexual tension, and they both connect that way. So they lock eyes, and stuff started happening!
What do you think the fans will say after the tryst? They wanted this to happen, you know that!
CASEY: It’s kind of crazy, because from the first episode people were saying, “Oh, my God. JJ and Eve are going to sleep together!”
Did you not play the attraction between you two charactes early on in your scenes with Kassie DePaiva? Did the producer/writers tell you to play that? It seemed very apparent to the viewers, when watching the two of you that there were sparks.
CASEY: No, we did not know! We did not know till Kassie and I were filming together for two to three weeks. Then, one of the directors told us, “You know, you guys are really attracted to each others, and you got to kind of turn up the heat a bit.” We had no idea. We were blinded by that, and we were playing it more and more, but I didn’t feel, or see a spark at the beginning. Apparently, everyone else did … which is kind of interesting.
How do you feel about the set-up of Kassie as Eve being the older woman, and you as JJ being the younger guy? Cougar romance! (Laughs)

CASEY: It’s actually been really comfortable working with Kassie, and we both have made it comfortable for each other. There is so much guilt that comes with this for JJ. It’s a complete nightmare. I am surprised Jennifer isn’t throwing up every second, because her children are going haywire! They are making the worst decisions, and that can only make a mother feel so guilty. It’s been a crazy storyline.
How was it for you when it was actually time to tape the sex scene with Kassie? Were you anxious?
CASEY: The day we were actually going to have the sex scene, we talked about it. It was very much like, “Wow. We are actually going to do this.” And the thing is, when the characters went there, it was “hate sex”! Kassie and I just had to go at it.
You know, “hate sex” can potentially turn into major love story on the soaps! Just sayin’!

CASEY: I am very excited to see how the fans react to the sex scene, because I am pretty sure they are going to love it. They are looking for it. They want it! (Laughs)
When was True O’Brien (Paige) in the loop on this … that you would be having sex in story with her on-screen mom?
CASEY: All she could say was, “Oh, my God.” That is pretty much all she could say. She was pretty much freaked out by it.
So, Paige is going to have to turn to someone else for comfort, right?
CASEY: Possibly! I am hoping she turns to JJ’s friend Rory, because he hasn’t gotten any action on the show. (Laughs)
What has it been like working with daytime favorite, Kassie DePaiva (Eve)?
CASEY: She is lovely, and I adore her. I think Eve is an interesting character, because she has been hurt by a lot of men in her life, and instead of separating that between her and her daughter, she is putting them as one, sort of speak, meaning Eve got hurt by Jack and JJ is Jack’s son. Eve is assuming that JJ is going to hurt Paige, as Jack hurt Eve, back in the day. Eve is a complex character, for sure. She is going about everything the completely wrong way!

We thought from the very beginning, what better way to get back at Jennifer then to have JJ sleep with Jen’s arch-nemesis, Eve!
CASEY:
Isn’t that horrible? (Laughs)
What on earth is going to happen when JJ’s mom and Eve’s enemy, Jennifer (Melissa Reeves), finds out about their liaison, and the rest of Salem?
CASEY: You guys are in for another ride that is all I can say. We will see what happens!
So, what did you think about Eve and JJ’s sexcapade? Were you rooting for it to happen? Were you appalled? What do you think will happen next? Will these two spend months covering up what they did, or could they end up in between the sheets, yet again? Weigh-in below!
He is so cute and days is so much fun to watch!
I agree. That was such a pivotal show. I live in the central TZ, and they broke into the show for a Mitch McConnell press conference. I was fit to be tied. Ended up having to wait to Thursday morning to watch on the NBC app. But, I did get to see it.
CASEY who play JJ on days is beyond beautiful. cute imo he is a mixture of the bad boy,turn good,”loyal” emo-at times, and sweet altogether! so cute,but good looking too.Most guys imo are 1 or the other.he is the whole pkg.face,skin,bod,hair,etc.love him so much,and the voice! love him. I m loving how close he seem to be with his lovely tv mom the talented JEN,Melissa Reeves,PAIGE is lovely o so cute she is,so pretty .not sur of paige mix race i hear,not sure,but she is beautiful with jj.they really do compliment each other. i m happy he is LOVING his role on days,and SL.love that!
The romp was nasty and distasteful. It was done out of grief and hatred, just like the EJami romp of 2011 and, more recently, when Daniel almost had sex with Kristen. Why isn’t sex about ‘making love’ anymore? I think Days has really jumped the shark now. An almost 50 year old woman sleeping with her daughter’s 19 year old ex-boyfriend who also happens to be the son of her ex-hubby and her arch-enemy? Too contrived and unbelievable. It’s sad because I was really hoping for watching on a regular basis now that EJ died and Sami has left, and Dannifer broke up. Now I’m back to taking a break. With horrible storylines like these, it’s no wonder Days is at the bottom of the ratings list among the soaps. CBS Daytime soaps are far more entertaining and better written–and even they have their flaws.
I agree with some of what you said-basically, where is the romance?
Exactly, dmr. I still have that sneaking suspicion that JJ is Jack’s son. And, that is the reason why JJ and Paige never end up having sex…..there’s always some obstacle or other preventing it. I may be derailing here, but, it is sort of a logical assumption, yes? Is it possible?
I am truly so disgusted with it – thought Daniel/Kristen in bed was bad but this is downright disgusting. Is there never a couple that can be happy for more than a day or two – the young love of Paige and JJ could’ve been something great and they had to go and twist it so distastefully that I am done watching. Only really like the Sami/EJ storyline anyways so since they are gone and they are so desperate for storylines that they have to do disgusting things it’s no longer worth my time
Couldn’t have said it better Dmitri. I hate hate it when soaps do these twists in a cheap attempt to heighten drama. No romance, just awful stuff.
I saw it coming and wasn’t surprised. Now, if Eve will only be PG.
I was going to post a reply elsewhere, but You Dmitri said it best..I am really losing interested in the show..The storyline are just painful to watch..I saw this JJ/Eve hookup coming months ago, but hoped it was just my imagination..I am all for older woman/younger man, but it SO does not work here.
You are right also about romance..This show has zero romance..I was praising this show months ago, but its really on the decline big time and losing major character..And now this stupid pairing of JJ/Eve??
Someone here mention that this show is ripping off GH storylines, and that person was SOOO RIGHT!..New writers PLEASE, or this show ratings will fall further and cancellation will be in the horizen.
If you are trying to raise your ratings, I don’t think JJ & Eve having sex is the way to do it, Nor is it believable that Kristen is young enough to carry a baby. Ya’ll may be able to fool or pull in the younger crowd, but the older ones remember how old Kristen would be at this point. Also why does Daniel go to bed with everyone he meets. Will he sleep with Will next? Geez, ya’ll are so predictable. When is the story line of Nichole’s baby coming through .Awhile back there was rumors about Stephano taking her baby with EJ and also Abigail’s fetus with EJ. Ann and Nichole are the reason’s I watch.
I believe Paige will turn out to be JJ sister!! That’s why Eve is trying so hard to keep them apart.
You’re tight, Mary SF. I do remember that incident. There was such a pregnant pause , suggesting not embarrassment, but sexual tension, perhaps? I thought it strange, but since nothing came of it. I stored the thought away.
I suppose the writers know what they’re doing….they teased us with that glimpse of what could possibly happen and it did. You have a great talent for picking up and remembering things, Mary.
My brain is full of my children’s whining, demanding my attention. LOL.
Hi, Mary Walker…you are one funny lady.
You’re right. Some people change, but they always stay the same….that’s what my Gran always says. Daniel will always be Daniel , albeit he had been sedate for a while….LOL.
Daniel and Eve should get together….I wonder……better yet, Daniel and Nicole really belong together…..taming of the shrew and the beast…LOL
On the subject of Kristen, I believe that women in their fifties, sixties even, in good health, are able to be surrogates. We hear about surrogate grandmothers giving birth to their own grandchildren. But, this whole thing is so convoluted. How old is Kristen supposed to be? I agree with you, how will she explain it away? Has she slept with Brady recently? Did I miss something. I wouldn’t be surprised if Marlena and John get back together and she ends up pregnant? Oh, my !
Dmitri, I could not have said it better myself. I am only 28, but I have very high morals and standards for someone my age, or so I’m told. However, I do not consider myself a prude. I wear make-up, minis, stilettos….LOL….I do not necessarily conform to society’s dictates, as we see these little tweens ,now , behaving as twenty-year olds, and middle -aged women behaving as teens. Nonetheless, this very thing happens in reality.
I do not ken why all the four remaining soaps have to use and abuse this revolting ploy to get ratings, as Mary suggests. They all seem to copy one another…it’s THE AMAZING RACE, I guess.
Inasmuch as Eve looks great for her age, Dmitri, I do believe, Kassie DePaiva is well into her 50’s. ….great post, Dmitri.
There was a report that she has a son in high school in the East.
She and her husband have a home there.
She flies here to do her show. I don’t think she is 50.
Disgusting as it is, maybe the Kristen-Brady-John story that won two Emmys for acting lead to the Eve-JJ-Paige thing. Days needs to do better!
It’s like when Dorian bedded Joey back in the day on OLTL. Watch for a Jennifer and Eve catfight!
I thought of the Dorian and Joey pairing as well. Jennifer is going to have a cow.
I totally agree it was disgusting,JJ and Eve should be written out change the storyline
i also thought about tad & marion back in the day on amc…………………
Actually, I thought of Doug marrying Addie when he was mad at Julie.
Casey is soooo Hot! Paige is so dull…he needs a hot storyline.
I AGREE! Paige is so terribly boring and no fun. Watching JJ constantly justifying himself to her — and always worried about being good enough for this girl — is such a snoozer. JJ and Eve are hot together and I am less tempted to FF through their scenes.
They need to have an ongoing affair, not just leave it at this one-time quickie and spend months of scenes worrying and hand-wringing over whether anyone will find out.
“…They need to have an ongoing affair, not just leave it at this one-time quickie and spend months of scenes worrying and hand-wringing over whether anyone will find out. ”
Salute
it’s simply bring together two actors… with chemistry… who know their craft… ACTING…. whether by themselves or with any one else… and intrigue follows…. as a pair. heck…. i’d distend belief for imagination wander
You may have a point, Goobus. Although I find this sex-filled interlude repulsive, perhaps there is an attraction there. JJ’s hormones are raging and she was there, ready and welcoming. I doubt he could not get it anywhere else….that other girl (can’t think of her name) would do flips and somersaults for him…I just think it was the right moment at the right time for Eve and JJ. Yuck…LOL.
It wasn’t unexpected– like others I knew the minute he met her, with her blouse half undone that eventually they would hook up. But I didn’t see it as hate sex, to me it was drunk and dumb sex—- and it lack the hot factor of the same story that was done on GH, with Morgan Ava– it came across as awkward– so I am hoping unlike the cougar story on GH, this will be a one time thing and never happen again.
IDays is starting to loose my interest…the whole JJ and Eve bedding is so contrived and an easy ripoff of GHs Ava and Morgan storyline…Kristen stealing Theresa’s embryo plot is also similiar to Nina’s at GH…both Kristen and Nina cant have children so they are stealing another womans baby in such tacky ways…and boring Jordan, Clyde and Ben can all leave town…they do absolutely nothing for the show…i really think Ken Corday has lost interest in this show…itll never climb out of fourth place the way it is now…im hoping things improve with the return of Melanie and Melissa Archers arrival…ive been such a long time viewer and with only 4 soaps left i want to support the genre but dull days ahead is making it difficult…jmho!!!
So agree amean jj and eve in bed make me sick to my stomach,wish sami and ej didn’t leave the show an also ben can go I’m so over his bad temper ,chad and Jordan needs to get it on I don’t know this story line is getting worse and worse I soon stop watching it
Sadly, jimh, some people get a high from baby snatching and gory melodrama. Perhaps I’m a tad sensitive due to the fact that I lost a child a few years ago. He was one when he went with the angels…..not a day goes by that I don’t shed a tear. It is hard for me to watch. So, I don’t. I cannot expect TPTB to omit certain scenes…it is what it is. Not entertainment, that’s for sure.
I have said this before…it seems that all the soaps play copy-cats….must be the trend…later.
Paige and Rory were kinda cute today they should hook them up Rory cracks me up’!
Rory is a favorite of mine too…tptb should drop Clyde, Ben and Jordan and give Rory his own storylines!!! He’s a cool dude!!!
I am all for a Rory / Paige (‘Raige’?) storyline!! I just hope Paige doesnt hook up with Dr Dan… Although given he’s had just about every actress in the cast, it does kinda seem inevitable…
jimh, Do you remember Pete Jannings’ friend, Speed (the brother of Ivy)?
I thought the same way about Speed as we do about Rory. Speed went nowhere. I hope Rory is placed front and center and doesn’t fade away like Speed!
Love Rory! More Rory please!
I thought Rory & Mary Beth would be an interesting hook-up.
Although the story is implausible, please remember why we watch soaps in the first place. It’s an escape from reality and a chance to watch characters do what we in real life would never think about doing. Frankly the two actors do have great chemistry and it’s fun to see it play out onscreen. I know Days has shown raunchy sex with many characters. I think it would be fun to see these two fall in love and deal with all the fallout. I am looking forward to another love scene between them. Next time I hope we do see less of th sex and more making love. I believe this can be a great love story and romance.
Jj is hoooot . Like the scene and love Days have been doing great story lines and not dragging them out. Every older females fantasy a young hot guy rocking her.world…:)
This sort of reminds me of the movie “The Graduate”. I could not believe that J.J. and Eve had sex. Now I want to see how long it takes before Paige figures it out.
I can’t wait until JJ and Paige learn that it was Eve who sent the hooker who drugged JJ. That should be good for some fireworks.
Im suprised Eve didnt find her singing voice and started singing opera during ‘the moment’…lol…however, im not too invested in this storyline being it seems like an easy ripoff of Ava and Morgan’s over at GH…i wouldnt be suprised if Eve ends up preggars…so Paige will probably figure it out 9 months from now…lol
kay, maybe JJ can sing “Mrs. Robinson” to Eve while playing the guitar!
LOL, 4ever…..or read her an excerpt from THE THREEE FACES OF EVE.
Nasty, distasteful and just plain Stuck On Stupid!! They were not drunk or high enough to not stop….
“Oh, Lordy!”
“Too Hot”
steamy uncontrolled
I”m not surprised
1. I’ve always said…. Casey Moss… should be with the big guys…. it was obvious when he was with Theresa… it’s time for the bubblegum to drop
2. I said not too long ago…. FIND Eve a MAN. LOL… if her mojo is MEN… then lets GO
this is more than chemistry… it’s bringing two persons who ACT !
I’m giddy these two actors have meaty material to show
I LOVE THEM
OK this is on
I hope upon hope… that they let Casey Moss’ JJ : FLY
just go with this… and revel in ALL of IT…. the experience… what this does to him
an adult play he’s more , than ready… as an ACTOR
down the road the fallout …. emotional crux… this will be his to mine
he’s just on top of his game… his acting craft is to be parlayed… to the audience
Eve has a wonderful relationship with Paige… I like her more with her mom… than with JJ… her sullen serious expressives… are not FUN.
JJ is so much more fun to be around when he’s not being the dutiful Horton.
I hope he’s smitten and even declares his love for Eve
Eve .. for all her history… should be able to play out this serious relationship…. her daughter, shouldn’t even figure in the equation….
if the feelings are mutual… then it’s Eve’s to win or lose.
I want that these two incredible actors in Salem explore …. themselves and together
SOAP BOX
let this pairing play out… betwixt themselves for a long while
developing and interplaying… each others need
what a feast for the eyes and dalliance with feeling
PLEASE
this would be so good for DAYS…. and not nix it with dullsville Jennifer and Daniel intruding on a good time… let alone St. Maggie
God I so hope Melanie is as saintly… if she’s a match for Chad… then GO THEIR… it won’t work with Abs…. that needs to come from the recast of Shane and Kimberly SON.
it’s time to spruce up this show….
* I so hope Melanie IS NOT as saintly…if
ARGHH !
I want some fun in Salem
I want that we should be feasting
cause celeb with abandon
it’s all their
well save for : bringing in the Donovan’ family to cement a chore feature
Shane, Kimberly, Eve, Theresa, and recast SON
this is quality
casey moss is the only reason i watch days right now!!! JJ is the future of days!! now with kirsten leaving again, jj s character is the only storyline keeping me glued. caseys so believable as conflicted and torn !!!
love casey, keep it up!
He’s okay, but I find Billy Flynn as Chad more compelling.
agree with both of you :
Casey Moss
Billy Flynn
Freddie Smith
impressive!
I just so hope that Melissa Archer and returnee Melanie will fire up, Chad and JJ… and heck…for more fun… bring back BRIAN for Sonny….
Yes Yes im hopping to see jj and Melanie together so loving chad hopping chad and Jordan get a chance together so he can change her or turn her into a dimera lol
Hi, PV,
I agree…..Billy Flynn is a man, I wasn’t sure at first , ….I was a little hesitant. But, Billy proved himself. Those brilliant eyes of his did me in….that wintry stare…so intense and straight to the heart…he’s hot.
JJ is flighty and wet behind the ears still…..has not found his niche, per se. He’ a tyro, but he’ll get there !
“… I am surprised Jennifer isn’t throwing up every second, because her children are going haywire! ”
one can only hope
she’s so dire…. so flatline ….
oh lordy… if she’s carrying the Horton
I”m done
Wait until she come back home.. She is currently away with a sick mother or grandmother…
Ahh, Patrick,
Poor Jenny. Where has she been hiding? I am so relieved we will not be subjected to her pathetic scenes with Daniel. There has never been a more boring and mismatched couple on soaps. Oh, please, Patrick…don’t even think that she will carry the honorable position as the head-Horton!!!… LOL.
And, Daniel? I would think that a man of his age should get a grip and leave the pining to lovelorn Romeos…..as Brady should also.
Keep writing, friend…your poetic soul always shines through, even in simple prose….which sometimes hits the spot deeper than embellished words. You are an expert at both….later.
let’s get this show on the road… with love, romance, sex, and FEELING
Eve and JJ
Nicole and Eric
Theresa and Brady
Adrienne and Justin
Kate and Rafe
Maggie and Victor
Marlena and John
Hope and Aiden
Abs and T
Anne and SOMEBODY for a respite for her other responsive needs… she’s SO funny
Oye… I have to agree with some posters… who are over the way Will just up and left for Hollywood…. it doesn’t bode well for Sonny… he’s too much of a catch to be left dangling
I hope nuCHAD and whomever Melissa Archer is coming on to play… steam it UP !
Melanie and T ????
there are so many good couples and potential galore…
have at it
Mary Beth Evans should be the top draw…. Kayla TIME all the time
find her a love interest
I agree.. She is still so beautiful… I can’t see why they don’t use her in an interesting storyline…
how about melaine and JJ
Was done better a few years ago between Nick and Billie but this was a good twist. And who would have thought Eve Donovan has sex with her bra on – never would have pegged her as the shy type. We’ll see where this goes. Eve blackmailing JJ into an ongoing series of trysts would really spice this show up!
Yeah, Nick, blackmail could create much needed havoc in Salem. As things are, the storylines do not seem to go anywhere. BORIIING!! However, I think that Eve really loves Paige and I doubt she would want to see her hurt. JMO.
Even though I suspected this was in the pipeline, I was still surprised to see it happen. Maybe when Paige finds out this will help give Paige a little more fire! I think True O’Brien is doing a great job for her first acting gig and would really like to see her play the explosive scenes with JJ and Eve when she learns the truth.
Perhaps JJ could turn to great uncle Doug for advice? I’m sure he learned something from the Doug/Julie/Addie triangle!
I do like the chemistry between Paige and Kayla and would really like to see Paige turn to Kayla for support through this. Plus, that would mean more Mary Beth Evans. How could that be bad?!!
certainly would be better than BFF with ugh! Daniel
have to agree with another poster…. why doesn’t JJ turn to his uncle Lucas !?!?
go figure
I don’t want to diss Paige… she, like you said… could use a little fire… gumption…
there are times when the camera hits her just right… I think… what a lovely girl
I really believe the mother/daughter duo of Eve and Paige
I am a huge fan of Casey Moss and Kassie but them together nooooooooooo ewwwww…my eyes my eyes..I loved JJ and Paige but then they got boring.
This is not something I want to escape too in the afternoon… First, Paige throws herself at JJ.. He won’t…so he does with her mother… Next thing they will have Jordan and Ben going at it… Disgusting…
This storyline was gross and I actually tossed my cookies. Dont get mevwrong I love casey bbut this is just a disgusting repeat of the ava morgan kiki scene from gh. And as much as I love kassie and casey opi wont be watching anymore until thecwriters get there act together. And if this turns out to be a she raped me he raped me storline Im done.
I love Casey and Kassie but that was just disturbing as hell! I am with True on this one! This is the end of JJ and Paige which we needed on this soap. A sweet, young love affair not him hooking up with her mom. I mean, who says, my girlfriend is young, beautiful, smart and hot but I want her middle aged, rode hard and put up wet mom, give me some of that! No one. No one has ever said that.
“… rode hard ”
LOL
thats epic
one for the books
in defiance…. Jennifer sure could let go
bye, bye
@Laura : with all due respect to you and the ladies
it was just a laugh out loud moment
Ha Ha. 😉
Laura, JJ didn’t say that either. He didn’t go after Eve…It just happened and they know they messed up.
Really? Wow. It’s an expression. I was trying to make a point.
I think a lot of us suspected this happening way back when-JJ showed up at the apartment and Eve answered the door (?) (or did he walk in) in her bra. I think Kassie is a very beautiful and sexy woman. JJ is a hot-blooded young boy/man. Maybe this will light a fire under Paige?! & you know, it won’t only happen once! Bring it!
I am SO tired of reading about Jack the rapist. YES it was horrible that it happened…. BUT IT WAS 25 YEARS AGO!!!!! He turned his life way around!! If KAYLA forgave him, why is this an issue now?! I’ve watched this show since 1995 and I found out about it a few years ago from youtube vids/message boards, but It was never mentioned on the show in that time until AFTER Jack died. He was an AWESOME charioteer and suddenly he dies and he’s a “Rapist”. All that is, is writers that don’t like the charicter and is trying to get the Jack/Jen fans to accept her being with Dr. Dipshit. Sorry, Jack Deveroux is a million times the man that jackass could ever HOPE to be!!
“…and is trying to get the Jack/Jen fans to accept her being with Dr. Dipshit. ”
thank you… I totally agree
Jack Deveroux was a GOOD Man ( just so fun)…. Jenn hasn’t been the same since he died
i’ll give her that much. this supercouple once was in the top echelon of DAYS
I find this story…. bringing up Jack being a rapist far more bothersome than JJ and Eve together
it would pain me as a mother that it’s so troubling to my son, JJ…. Paige really needs to stop her moral antics….. and YES…. thats another double edged sword… no need to be getting pregnant or putting out…. woah whew Yikes : haven’t we all been their
Hey, Jack…you’ve got me roaring with laughter…I can only read the posts a little at a time…busy, busy…so, I just got to yours. You know what? So far, your moniker fits Daniel the best….LOL.
I didn’t like it because I hate to see Paige hurt and Eve and Paige’s relationship damaged.
I truly hope not, as well
for the lack of development… in either Eve and/or Paige
this is the one thing that worked so well… the mother/daughter moments… onward and upward
I don’t know… a part of me… thinks with all the show of Paige just not being happy… with JJ… and No.. it didn’t have to be about will she or wont they have physical relations
but.. all the show of Eve coming between them… was too much time spent on
a part of me… thinks she may end up in Stanford… and it’ll be an all systems go.. with this pair
of course it’s a retread of Ava and Morgan. wow.. didn’t they combust with these two
who’s to say it couldnt happen WITH.
two quality persons… who know their craft… who are excitable… for their own reasons… and simply need a good pairing.. to escalate that much more for the show.
“for the show” it’s not unfounded to go their. I watch these two actors scenes…
I delight in both of them
This will be very interesting, and could take several turns before we get anywhere near an ending. For the first time yesterday I saw Rory soften towards a girl. Usually, he thinks of them as someone to get high with, but when Paige was telling him about the argument with JJ, he seemed to feel a little bad for her…So when this is revealed I fully expect to see this bring Rory and Paige closer. Of course that would send JJ into a jealous tailspin, and Eve…Well, since Rory is truly a bad boy…Her world would go dark quick. Lol
Oh great…..now she will end up pregnant and her and Theresa can raise their babies together
I think this is the worst thing that the writers could have came up with. I’m wondering can the writers not come up with a better story line than this. It seems like the writers can’t come up with anything that they practically have to put a child and a grown women in bed with each other. That is the most disgusting thing that the writers could have done. The writers has to destroy any hopes of a good story line. First it was EJ and Sami. That was a total let down! Letting a hick from the sticks kill him off. That did’nt even make sense to me. Sami and EJ have been through a lot together. They should of had a happy ending together. The whole story line with Jordan is so stupid,and Clyde and Kate. I mean come on ,any other guy she would have told to get lost. Where is the Romance on the show!!! The writers have all these couples going in circles,nothing ever good happens on the show any more. I have been watching the so ever since I was in JR high,and now I ‘am 43. I’am so disappointed with the way the writers are taking the show. You wold think the writers would come up with something new and exciting. You would think that the writers would get a clue,and do something to bring up the ratings. It sure wouldn’t be by putting JJ and Eve in bed together. That is just sick!!!
Ok the whole Mrs. Robinson thing was just gross! I was really hoping a couple of arguments ago Paige and JJ would of come to their senses. They made such a cute couple before. Now I can’t stand to look at her pouting face or his cheating one! Send Paige off to Stanford where she belongs. Send JJ off to the military where he can learn to be a real man! He is such a push over! His Dad was nothing like this. Jack always had a way of jumping around and getting a reaction from people. JJ is so boring!! Please fix this storyline! Also what on earth did Jordan do to her Momma! Spill already are just let it go! I do like the scenes with Kate and Clyde. The scenes where he talks to Ben are okay. Just get the dumb look off of Jordan’s face already!!!
I hated it, had to FF through it,, why do the writers think the men of Salem can’t co0ntrol themselves sexually, between JJ and Daniel, I’m really tired of this show and I’ve been watching it for 49 yrs and have never felt that way before. They may lose a viewer.
This was disgusting & gross I had to FF it, not because it was a love scene which it wasn’t how could they do that JJ was on the straight & narrow & now there making him a bad guy. it really turned me off
What a disgusting crap!!!
DAYS head writers are destroying character after character.
And by the way: One “affair” viewers certainly won’t get to see is the other one that’s supposed to happen soon (when nuWill cheats on Sonny.)
These worst head writers of all times won’t even care to introduce, let alone develop, another gay character to make their crap look only remotely plausible.
Seems that they are doing everything they can to get this show canceled.
I’ve never seen such a lack of creativity, totally dumb, one-dimensional and destructive writing as on DAYS 2014.
“… (when nuWill cheats on Sonny.) ”
I can’t be surprised by this… perhaps he’ll blame his not being single enough and get caught up in the hollywood scenery
but to do this to Sonny…. NO WAY would that happen to any other guy who’s with him
Sonny’s a keeper
it’s story
i like that he was honest with Marlena in that big ole Salem Park . LOL
telling her they’ve been experiencing some problems …. but can be worked out
we’ll see
I hope this isn’t a will they or won’t they work it out….. he actually told Abs that nuWill will be gone 6 MONTHS! that just won’t do….
it’s time for DAYS to possibly recast any way… inasmuch as i’ve tried to like nuWILL the actor… with Sonny…. after all this time… I’m not feeling his character brings as much to the show as Chandler Massey…. it’s that big a miss… at times
so… with nuWILL taking Ariana away and moving for 6 months to hollywood… Sonny down time… just won’t be for long…. find him another husband, or bring back Chandler Massey
Eh, I’ve seen it before.
*But heading into 2015 could we please lose (yes I said, LOSE not loose – need to learn how to spell that word correctly again), the idiotic term “cougar.” Cougar is a mammal, not a middle-aged woman who dates/beds younger guys.
I’m not opposed to a cougar/younger guy sex scene on a soap, and to give Days’ credit, they did lay some groundwork to explain why JJ and Eve had sex, and it wasn’t just because they were drunk. There’s been a weird attraction between them, going back to when Eve sang while JJ played guitar. And I admit, Kassie and Casey have good chemistry and are both good looking actors. As a result, I’m not as turned off by this story development as other viewers.
But my problem is that (1) Eve hasn’t been written well since she came on the show (she’s much too shallow and a villain too much of the time with few, if any, redeeming values) and this just adds to why I can’t like Eve even when I want to and (2) I find JJ and Paige to be much too dull. I can’t be offended on Paige’s behalf because I don’t care if JJ and Paige stay a couple. I’m very surprised that Days has decided to invest as much time and effort in this couple when I don’t think they generate any heat or electricity, and sadly, I think most of that is due to Paige (both the actress and the character). So to me, this is just a “shocking” act which has fizzled. I’m not glued to my seat to see Paige’s reaction when she finds out because I don’t think she can show the appropriate amount of rage and horror, and I don’t think that Eve vs. Jennifer, Part 99 since Kassie’s arrival, is riveting, either. I would like to see something that grabs my attention, and unfortunately, JJ/Eve sex doesn’t do it.
IMO, a lot of what’s not working here could have been fixed if Days wasn’t taping as far in advance as they do. It takes much too long for writing to improve once the fans weigh in against a character or a story twist or a couple. Only now is Days finally apparently ending Dannifer after so much time has passed. But they need to give Kassie some depth to play, and having her one redeeming feature be that she loves her daughter so much is just not enough. That’s literally all she’s got going for her, and it’s a disservice to Kassie’s talent and the audience’s patience. JJ and Paige need to end, stat, or keep going with another actress. But either way, Days shouldn’t be building November Sweeps around them. They cannot carry the show or a frontburner storyline during a critical time like this.
At least u r not yelling kick them off the show! Everyone in my group is doing that….If ur on facebook maybe you can come talk to them name is “Days of Our Lives Fan Talk” I’m the owner…
it does seem to me… they’ve been steering away from Jennifer.. I’m sorry… but Melissa Reeves has run her course… just dried out… kaput
there’s no longer any thing interesting about her… since she no longer has matthew ashford.
thank the heavens she has Abs and JJ to lean on.. she certainly isn’t bring her game on… and belong
I like that as of late, Eve .. she’s been mixing it up with … Theresa, Eric, and Kayla… isn’t that enough to venture
it’s simply time for DAYS production team to read these message boards and steer with
Kassie DePaiva, has always been, an enigmatic actress… who belongs with and cares about this genre. she solidified her belong YEARS ago on OLTL … her recast .. has made it her OWN…
Theresa is pregnant : wow this is big story coming up…
I loved that Ben punched out Chad.. and this is the fallout of Ben leaving Salem. I Hope
Kristen : when on all cylinders… BEWARE …. she can be so downright chilly ! LOL
she’s the best and on top when she wants
i howled out loud when Anne, Theresa, were reading Marlena the riot act…. in defense of Theresa…. with Eric standing by and is so disapointed once again in his cousin… poo poo father Eric… get over your moral issues and frontburner NOW with Nicole
At least someone agrees with me if ur on facebook join my group I’m the owner “days of our lives fan talk” is the the name of it…
thank god for hulu and youtube…. all of yesterdays ep was taken up by a news conference with President Obama….
so I still have to watch Wednesdays ep – yesterdays
had to go to youtube today and watched the ep
“I was turned on” all systems go for this pairing
it was rife with a lot going on
JJ and Eve : a sizzling conundrum of emotional upheaval and dance
Theresa and Anne : Anne and Kristen are the only ones who really know she’s pregnant… this is an all out tour de force for these two to clamp on and chew
I wonder if they can do a medical test to prove she was pregnant
Brady and Daniel : is it going to matter any more.. that Daniel and Jenn are lambasted and given the heave ho ? doubt it… but it’s always a good feel when these two are aimed at
I hope that, further down the road that Eve can in fact get that surgery done… it’s just more for this pair to share…. love of music… sex… ATTRACTION ! Yikes ! implode with me
Kristen fury and become in Salem is aghast, reprieve, and damnation… she’s all that!
lots to savor fester and entreat…. it’s still on
Salem’ites
It´s time for the writers to start being creative again, because replaying the same story three times in a year is too much. Everybody can predict what will happen now. JJ and Page will magically reunite and become happy again, only we will see the endless “nobody can ever know” conversation between JJ and Eve until someone finally overhears and then, either during Feb or May, the truth will finally come out. It´s repetive, it´s unoriginal and sorry to say, watching EJ and Abby doing it was atleast hot as hell and the sex was oozing from the screen whenever they shared a scene, JJ and Eve are just awkward.
perhaps the first time should be awkward
what’s not… is the attraction
APB : it was through the roof commenced HOT
way better than JJ and Paige
way better than Eve and Daniel
way better than … well.. not even… better than with Eric.. that would stratosphere
it’s just a forefront for sensual tantalize stimuli
Does anyone ever have any control? Do all just do whatever they want to at the moment? It seems to me that a few of the characters should come across as reputable people. Eve is a out of control, horny grandma that has hooked up with her daughter’s boyfriend. What a disgusting specimen she is. I am not a saint but I am moral to some degree. If I cannot watch this without feeling like a grub worm, I’ll just have to go to another channel. I already turn my head on some of ya’ll’s junk so you see I have been trying to hang on.
Are you Charlotte Ross?
reputable
these two persons endorphin have been latent.. and on fire
Kassie DePaiva and Casey Moss… are big time camera loves them… know their ACT works
This was another stupid day on Days. Poor Paige is soooo stupid. Why didn’t she just open the door ? Really !! Then Kristen is getting implanted with Brady’s Baby !!! I’m about to QUIT watching this Show !!
I loved it. Paige is so boring and a real whiner about everything. Eve and JJ is hot. The older woman making love with the young stud. I think they should continue the affair. Maybe Eve will get pregnant and eventually break off with Paige. She is not his type. I also like Brady with Kristen. Kristen does things out of emotion. Theresa is just pure evil and I can’t stand her. I think Kirsten will come back with a baby.
What? Kristen is much more evil than Theresa. Can anyone justify Kristen stealing another woman’s child because she’s “emotional”? Give me a break.
You were perfect up till you posted Theresa is just pure evil
the thing about Jenn Lilly take
she’s coming from the point… of Theresa … like Anne said… you need to think things through before you act
she’s not reliant on “drugs” so has to come from a perspective that she’ not enabling her person to act out… while under the influence
she’s learning her mojo.. and is on the up and up and capable of owning Salem… I know this…
she’s developing from her childlike behavior stemming from her upbringing in Los Angeles and lack of father present… and Kimberly full persona
I love the character of Theresa.. as she’s spitfire personified.. just relishing and lie in wait… take not prisoners in charge fully embodied in the know presence
I DID NOT care for the scene between JJ and Eve, who is old enough to be his mother and THEN some. I don’t mean that in any way against the talented actress who portrays Eve, but JJ looks like a Drug Store Delivery boy and the only thing he should be bringing to Eve is a Jar of Porcelana.
I didn’t think the writers would go there, this kind of plot has been done to death on soaps, but here we are again. Then again, Paige is about as interesting as a box of Kleenex so I can’t blame JJ for looking elsewhere, but not with someone who could almost be his Grandma.
The entire scene, idea, etc. was thoroughly disgusting, and shame on Days for trying this again. Is that all these writers know what to write……throw two people in bed.
Days already did this with Billie & Nick when he was dating Chelsea. but then recycle is the name of the game, right?
The entire thing was gross and a complete turnoff.
No matter what the followup is, the event has disappointed and disgusted a vast segment of the audience. Probably most. A turnoff for sure.
if this is recyle… with Kassie DePaiva and Casey Moss
then game on
this is celebrate… that the DAYS production have hit the jackpot
i’d relish all the possibilities of mining and tapping in to all the potential for
The sex was okay. Hey, at least they had some chemistry unlike JJ and Paige.
Some men date older or much older women IRL even when they aren’t loaded $$$ not booze. Also, some young guys want to be with women who know what they’re doing.
I don’t even care about Paige’s reaction. It’s Jennifer’s shock and disgust I’m looking forward to. Maybe JJ can move out of his mommy’s house soon.
“… It’s Jennifer’s shock and disgust I’m looking forward to. ”
Amen
Seriously this kid just graduated from H.S. a few months ago…..I too am in my 40’s and honestly to me there is no appeal whatsoever! He is a KID! Really Kassie, as an actress, deserves so much better!!
There’s no coming back from this!
One more thing…if TPTB think THIS kind of writing is going to make up for the fact that EJ and Sami are off the canvas, they had really better think again! They had months and months to prep for this, and this is what they wrote? This is November sweeps?
Loved it, yes saw it coming, they def have chemistry !!
I think that JJ and Paige will stay as a couple and like Eve was telling JJ that this romance never happened.
We knew it was due to happen from their first meeting and the majority of us that have been with Days since its inception soooooo hoped it wouldn’t happen. Got tired of the constant explaining to Paige but, this was NOT the answer. I find it distasteful and below what these two competent actors deserve and we as viewers deserve better. Losing interest at this point and it’s the first time for this long time viewer!

‘Brilliant Minds’ Officially Canceled After 2 Seasons at NBC; DAYS Alum Al Calderon, OLTL Alum Teddy Sears and Zachary Quinto Among the Cast
After languishing on the bubble for months, on Friday, NBC handed down the decision and canceled the medical drama Brilliant Minds after two seasons.
Brilliant Minds stars Zachary Quinto as neurology physician Oliver Wolf, who’s character and the series is inspired by the life and books of neurologist. Oliver Sacks. The series focuses on the medical mysteries of the mind, as Wolf a larger-than-life neurologist and his team of interns explore the last great frontier, the human mind, while grappling with their own relationships and mental health.
The final six episodes of what will now be the end of its second and final season were already set to air beginning on May 27, after being pulled off the network schedule in February as viewership saw a steep decline. Brilliant Minds second season became the lowest-rated drama on linear TV viewing, which didn’t bode well fo a network renewal, although it had its hard core fan base.

There are some exceptional notables in the cast along with the talented Quinto that includes Days of Our Lives alum, Al Calderon (ex-Javi Hernandez) who joined the series in its second season as Nurse Nico Silva, and One Life to Live alum, Teddy Sears (ex-Chad Bennett) who plays Wolf’s love interest and fellow physician, Dr. Josh Nichols.
The rest of the talented cast includes: Tamberla Perry, Ashleigh LaThrop, Alex MacNicoll, Aury Krebs, Spence Moore II, Donna Murphy, John Clarence Stewart, and Brian Altemus.
In an ironic twist of fate on Thursday, April 30, Days of Our Lives finally revealed the actor who was Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Javi, when they announced that actor Jacob Martinez had now stepped into the role. Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming new episode, Calderon left in the spring of 2025, but will be seen in the part for the final part this month, and then on June 20, Martinez debuts as Salem’s new Javi.
Taking to his Instagram with a sorrowful and heartfelt post on the Brilliant Minds cancellation was Teddy Sears who wrote, “Thank you, Brilliant Minds. I got the call today and I didn’t want to hear, but I knew that it would come, You have to be a particular vintage to quote Don Henley from memory, but that’s the line that came to mind earlier today after I got off the phone with our inimitable showrunner Michael Grassi who delivered the news that NBC has cancelled the series”.

Sears continued, “To say that I feel sad to be moving on from these stories, this character, and this cast and crew just doesn’t paint the entire picture. I’m sad, sure. But I’m also deeply grateful that I got hired to play this part, so proud of the stories we told, and the other actors I got to play alongside. I’m excited to see what comes next, what adventures await, and terrified to be without a professional home. A quick and heartfelt thank you to everyone, all over the globe, who found us and found themselves in us, in our characters and in our stories. We wouldn’t have been able to tell them without you. And we still have 6 fresh episodes yet to air, and I do hope you tune in enjoy the remainder of the series. They’re the best we’ve done.”
As he wrapped up his sentiments, Sears signed off with, “The more I know, the less I understand. All the things I figured out I have to learn again. I’ve been trying to get down to the heart of the matter. But everything changes…Thank you, Brilliant Minds.”
The medical drama was created and executive produced by Michael Grassi alongside Greg Berlanti, Sarah Schechter, Leigh London Redman, Lee Toland Krieger, DeMane Davis, Jasmine Russ, Henrik Bastin, Jonathan Cavendish, Andy Serkis and Shefali Malhoutra.

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Sophia Seemingly Plans to End Her Life, But Not Before Setting Fire to Johnny’s Apartment With Him Trapped Inside
The final few moments of the Thursday, April 30 episode of Days of our Lives, will pave the way, to what just may be the end of Sophia Choi’s (Rachel Boyd) life, but not as you may think!
After an unhinged Sophia paid a visit to Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman), maced him in the eyes, knocked him out and then tied up to a chair, now conscious, she lets him know that she holds him responsible for all the trouble and trauma she has gone through from adopting her child, and her being sent to a mental institution.
So instead of the unregistered gun Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) gave her to finish off Johnny, Sophia sets up a plan to light candle, use nail polish remover and turn on the gas on the stove to ultimately create a mass explosion, which although Johnny pleaded to her not to that to all the innocent people inside his apartment building, she doesn’t seem to care.

FIERY FACE OFF
The plan was supposed to be, after she takes care of Johnny she will toss the gun in the Salem River, then focus on payback to Holly Jonas before leaving town to start a new life.
Now, Sophia makes her exit, leaving Johnny to be a few moments away from an explosion or gas inhalation, when Chanel (Raven Bowens) comes home after awaiting the results of her mammogram. She sees Johnny tied up, as he panics and tells her to put out the flame on the candle, things go awry, and a fire has begun and everything may go up in flames with Johnny and Chanel inside.

A BROKEN SOPHIA
Back in her room, Sophia breaks down after reading the social media comments about her, she planted, and then starts writing a suicide or farewell note which says. “I’m tired of begging for forgiveness for my mistakes. All I wanted was to move forward, to be loved and understood. But it’s clear that I was never going to get that. Holly Jonas said that I was dead to her. So, as her former BFF, I’m going to make her dream a reality.”

A DEADLY TRAP
Now, the fate of Johnny, Chanel and Sophia will be revealed on tomorrow’s May 1st cliffhanger, which may be the end of Sophia when she crosses paths with Kirsten at the bridge near the river. We do know Rachel Boyd is no longer appearing in the show credits section and is now off contract with the soap.
So, what did you think of the climatic final moments of DAYS? What did you think of the performance of Rachel Boyd as Sophia Choi? Let us know via the comment section.

Jacob Martinez is ‘Days of Our Lives’ New Javi Hernandez Replacing Al Calderon in the Role
Finally! The casting has been revealed as to just who would be Al Calderon’s successor in the role of Days of our Lives, Javi Hernandez. On Friday, April 30, the long-running soap opera revealed Jacob Martinez is taking on the part and he will first be seen this coming June 30th and then on all-new episodes streaming on Peacock.

The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.

When viewers see the new Javi in story, we should learn what will happen in Javi’s relationship with Leo Stark played by Emmy winner, Greg Rikaart, plus his continued relationship with his relatives in the Hernandez clan. Currently, when Javi returned to Salem after taking care of his ailing father, and after the bust-up of his marriage to Leo thanks to Dimitri (Peter Porte), he claimed he had moved on with someone else while he was away from Salem.

Jacob’s resume is impressive having appeared in the musical In Pieces: The Musical at Joe’s Pub at The Public Theater and he was hand-picked by Joey Contreras to play the role of Grey. Other credits include: the short film, Memory Swim and the play Dog Sees God: Confessions of a Teenage.
