DAYS Christopher Sean Talks Paul/Sonny Lip-Lock, Playing Gay, And The Drama Ahead!

The secret is out to viewers of NBC’s Days of our Lives, but for Salem’s latest arrival … professional baseball player Paul Narita (Christopher Sean) … that may not be the case to most all that think they know him.
As DAYS fans saw right before the Thanksgiving holiday break, Paul planted a whopper of a kiss on none other than Sonny Kiriakis (Freddie Smith), ending months of speculation that the incoming newbie character would indeed turn out to be gay, and an ex of Sonny’s.
On-Air On-Soaps caught up with Christopher Sean, who had been all the buzz of late, at last night’s Hollywood Christmas Parade where he joined his cast mates as the long-running NBC series was being honored for their upcoming 50th season.
Christopher shared a few of his thoughts on taking on the very topical gay role, whether he sees Paul as a good guy … or perhaps the villain, what he thought of Paul’s kiss on Sonny, and more!
On Days of our Lives, you get to play a professional athlete who is gay which has been a ripped-from-the-headlines story these days when you look at Michael Sam, Jason Collins, and Robbie Rogers, to name a few who have all come out over the last few years. How did the DAYS brass pitch you the role?

CHRISTOPHER: They said, “Are you comfortable playing a gay role?” And I said, “Yes!” I talked to my manager about it. He was like “Listen; at the end of the day, it’s a very controversial thing to play a professional athlete who is coming out.” And so for me, to be able to be a part of the gay right movement, seriously, it’s like “Wow!”
So, viewers just saw the big lip-lock between Paul and Sonny. How has it been working with Freddie Smith (Sonny)?
CHRISTOPHER: He is cool and awesome, and one of the nicest and most humble people I have ever met, which is so nice when someone is a celebrity.
Did you watch back the big reveal when viewers learned 100% that Paul must have a past with Sonny, and is gay?

CHRISTOPHER: I had forgotten that last Wednesday was the day the reveal aired, and so my Twitter account blew up with “OMG! OMG! OMG!” I couldn’t believe I missed it, but my parents did DVR it! So, I am just going to go to their house, and we are all going to watch it together.
Who has been the most helpful on the DAYS set and took you under their wings when you arrived several months ago?
CHRISTOPHER: I would say Shawn Christian. He is Shawn Christian and I am Christopher Sean. (Laughs) Our very first day, our stage manager brought that up! He would go, “Shawn Christian…Christopher Sean …to the set!” (Laughs) It was one of those awesome moments. And as for Shawn Christian, he has been a leader and a father figure, and is such a great guy.
So, what can you say to us … do you think Paul will end up being a good guy or bad guy?

CHRISTOPHER: We are five months ahead on DAYS … but I am also on Hawaii-Five-0, and I am the bad guy on there which is awesome! On DAYS, I get to play Paul Narita who is aware of his emotions and is intelligent. I will say, his intentions are as honorable as he possibly can make them.
So, the jury is out! (Laughs)
CHRISTOPHER: What is coming up in the months ahead are so many twists and turns. It’s going to be amazing.
Does Paul definitely want Sonny back? Is that his intention?
CHRISTOPHER: I can tell you he has a past with Sonny, and he is hoping to see what future they may have.
So, are you intrigued thus far by Paul’s story and what is to come? Do you hope Paul turns out to be a good guy, and give Will a run for his money? Could Paul even win Sonny’s heart? Have you enjoyed Christopher Sean’s performances thus far? Comment below as the story continues to pick up steam this week on Days of our Lives!
I find it interesting that DOOL, B&B and GH have great gay storylines but Y&R won’t touch the subject. JFP never would at GH, is she homophobic? Does make one ponder the thought, she appears to hate everyone else after all. Kudos to DOOL, GH and B&B for their great stories.
I’ve only watched B&B one year. What gay story line is currently on there? Caroline’s mother?
I think that’s it. Karen and partner, whose name I can’t remember, played by Crystal Chappell. I think if the actress (Joanna Johnson) were available, there might be more story with the pair.
Well I new that Sonny had a lover that was famous in his past so I was not surprised
Still deciding. I ship WilSon so do not like to see anyone trying to come between them. But I will watch the drama unfold and hope for the best.
Me too Kay….Like you, I will be watching the OOC writing for WilSon and hope like heck that they intend for WilSon to be endgame. I like Christopher Sean, but I’m not so sure about Paul lol! Does anyone else think that the days writers could have come up with something more imaginative than a loving couple cheating on each other? Days needs some writers with more imagination than yet another infidelity sl. Having said that, I’m glad we are starting to see more of Sonny and his life pre-Salem.
I hate the fact Days felt the need to screw WilSon up after ruining Ejami. I get happy couple are not interesting in soap land but cheating seems to be the only answer to every freaking problem people have with their partners. This is so sad and stupid in my book.
I’m in love. With Paul. With Sonny. With PaulSon!
Best thing to happen in a very long time.
Christopher Sean is the best young actor I’ve seen this whole year.
DAYS would be totally nuts not to give him a lasting role.
And I don’t see how Paul’s story can be told in a meaningful way if he doesn’t ultimately come out publicly, especially because he wants to tell the whole world how much he loves his partner, Sonny!! That’s a central part of the situation these young men who are forced to NOT tell their own story in the sports, movies (Hollywood!!!) etc. arenas have to deal with: that they are not only denying themselves, but their boyfriend/life partner!!
So, Paul not ending up with his big love wouldn’t make any sense, if not totally destroy this whole story.
I know so many people who stopped watching because they didn’t like the new version o WilSon. Right now, they’re telling me they’re coming back, because they want to see Sonny/Freddie shine again! PaulSon is the way to go here.
I agree…CS is a great find and one of the best new actors to hit daytime in a long time…hope Days holds on to him!!!
Paulson all the way! I barely know Paul but I am really rooting for him with Sonny. You hit thenail on the head.
Unfortunately, I could really care less-just so disappointed in the show right now-stopped recording it.
I was hoping that Paul already has another Salem connection…let Anne turn out to be his older half sister…let her know he is gay, and both Paul and Anne keep it a secret because Paul fears itll hurt his career…then lets see Anne’s reaction when Theresa tells her she has fallen in love with Paul…will Anne tell her the truth…will Paul admit he is gay to Theresa or use her to hide his secret…it most likely wont turn out this way but this couldv’e lead to some very dramatic moments!!!
This is a little off the point, but what is with all the characters calling Anne a cow?
When other characters are referred to as beautiful, etc., she gets labeled a cow.
Anne is a horrible, evil person. It’s sickening to me that they have a character on the show bashing the Hortons. I guess she is the “Mary Sue” of these headwriters.
Anne is a favorite of mine…the actress is beautiful…the name calling is stupid but just part of the sory…shes a keeper…hoping more story for her…the Hortons are one of my favorite tv families…i dont know why some soap fans pick on her…she isnt the only evil person in town…the Dimeras are the most wicked and yet fans love them(i like them and Anne)
The connection I want … Let Paul be an unknown love child of Lucas from his (pre-Sami) playboy military cadet days, thereby Sonny would be caught between two half-brothers! How soapy .. lol! (btw – They’ve had the casting call out for Paul’s mother (Tori) for awhile now, so this could happen.)
You may be getting your wish. I know Lucas is going to be getting a big story soon and Will helps him – some kind of mystery. Maybe it comes about after Paul’s mother comes to Salem and Lucas recognizes her from years ago.
What do you mean? Pauls mother has been on the show for at least a couple of weeks now and also has been being mentioned a lot before that?
I thought Days shot three months in advance, not five.
Looking forward to today’s show and seeing what transpires.
It’s 5 months close to 6 actually !
I love Days!!!!!
I like that Days has finally introduced a third party for Will and Sonny. I’ve never really been able to invest in Will and Sonny because they never had to truly struggle to be together. There was no gay male version of Sami Brady scheming to break them up. It took my favourite couple Carrie and Austin 5 years to get married, but Will and Sonny were married in maybe two. Maybe Will will end up being the bad guy who’s scheming to keep Sonny and Paul apart. He is Sami and Lucas’ son after all.
And I have to give Days credit for casting an Asian-American actor in this role. It’s nice to have some more diversity on the show. If I were running Days, I would have cast Abe’s nephew Ben Carver (Wendy and Jonah’s son) for the Will/Sonny storyline, but Paul will do.
So fighting for his husband makes Will a “bad guy” in your mind. Marriage must not mean anything to you.
We’re watching a soap opera. There was nothing more thrilling than when Marlena and John made love on the conference room table at Titan even though she was married to Roman. And again, I’m not invested in the Will/Sonny relationship because the show hasn’t put made them earn it yet. I’d love to see Will channel his inner Sami and lie and scheme to hold on to his man. That’s juicy, soapy drama.
I hope Sonny and Paul hook up, SO SO tired of Will and his whiney a$$ self. Plus Paul is way hotter than the new Will. Go team Panny, or is it Saul, lol
You haven’t been on Twitter lately, have you?
It’s #PaulSon all the way :))
Is PaulSon
Yeah I am tired of Will playing the victim. .I never have been sold on this latest Will…the former one was a better fit.
So far, so good… I loved the line Sonny had today to Paul: “Oh, that’s right. You’ll never come out of the closet.” And with Theresa in the mix, this should be highly entertaining!
You are referring to Paul as Sonny’s partner already? Sonny is MARRIED to Will so Will is his partner. Paul may think he is in LOVE with Sonny but that does not automaticalky mean Sonny feels the same.
“… for me, to be able to be a part of the gay right movement ”
Thank You, Days : Sony : NBC
right out of the gate : Sonny and Paul flew
their is a sizzling dynamic going on
and I am overjoyed at the potential for exciting story… and character envelop
SOAPBOX : Cheers!
I dislike how they are having Will treat Sonny but I know its all for storyline purposes and its no excuse for Sonny to cheat but its definitely a reason for him to. But at the same time Sonny needs to stand up for himself and let Will know his true feelings.
The athlete in the closet storyline is relevant and interesting but I can’t say I like that Paul is coming in between WilSon. But at least Will and Sonny are getting a storyline and some drama. Hopefully Will having some competition will make him appreciate what he has with Sonny because he seems to be taking it for granted. I have faith in the end of it all Will and Sonny will find their way back to each other.
I love Paul and can’t wait to see his background along with Sonny (sad Sonny was on 3 years and we still don’t know much about him). I want PaulSon. I root for couples if obstacles are in their way and have great chemistry. PaulSon has that. His closet situation which I assume is what ended their relationship and Sonny’s marriage are huge obstacles. Love their chemistry. Other than Brian, Paul is the most spark I have seen with Sonny. Please days. At least let them have an affair or break up WilSon and make PaulSon happen. I was over Will and Sonny for more than a year.
Paulson is never going to happen
First, you should use something to differentiate your name from mine. Add extra letter or number.
Second, PaulSon already happened in the past. Paul predates Will in Sonny’s heart and life and obviously there is still something there if you have seen today’s episode. Just expressing my hopes for the direction I would like to see. You should add something to the discussion instead of acting like annoyed 12 years old shipper.
Never say never.
Why are you acting like two different posters?
@4everDays
I’m the Alex that has been commenting on the Freddie and Guy video and here. I’m not acting like two people. Why are you assuming that. If you read my comment in support of Paulson, you would see that someone else using the name Alex just to be assholes or just didn’t think replied to me with “Paulson is never going to happen” to my original comment and I even suggest they change their name or add something to it to my reply to them.
Had to reply here. Apparently I was wrong to assume that Michael Fairman would not accept people with the same usernames.
Hmm I’m conflicted. The actor is doing a good job, for sure, and the gay athlete storyline with Theresa in the mix is nice. However, I think that we’ve had enough happy fan-favorite couples split up. While I hate how Will is treating Sonny and I definitely think the new Will has less chemistry with Sonny that his predecessor, I’m still a WilSon shipper and want them to wind up together in the end. But I’ll be interested to see where “PaulSon” goes.
Would it not throw a curve ball into the situation, if Will comes back, and Paul falls for Will???
That is major fear I have. I don’t think it would be interesting curve ball. It would just be insult to Sonny’s character and make everything about Will. If you look around on twitter and other places, people are specially excited about this including me because it finally gives Sonny some attention other than hand holding Will and his problems. Plus most people don’t like Guy Wilson as nuwill. It would be total fail on tptb.
In this case I’d be finally done with this show. And when I’m looking around, I’m certainly not the only one. TPTB can’t be so clueless they haven’t noticed that viewers and fans want to see Freddie in a different pairing that allows him to shine again. The huge wave of excitement about PaulSon after barely three days of them together on screen speaks volumes!!!
This show has lost another viewer.
A penny for your thoughts, penny.
Will you please explain your comment. Although people may or may not agree with your thoughts/comments. Most of us like to read people’s opinions.
DAYS lost you because they added one more gay character? Or maybe because gays are seen kissing. Could it be because of the direction the storyline is going?
Commenting in a more detailed fashion may help with your frustration. I know we, the other posters, would have a better understanding.
Its nice seeing him play a ballplayer trying to come out. Maybe he will open the door for are profesional players to be open
I love love love Paulson! Will and Sonny have no real chemistry in my opinion. The sparks are flying with Paul and Sonny! I usually can’t stand the mushy romantic scenes unless the characters really actually seem like they connect. I can’t wait for more scenes with these two!
The Will recast has been a failure so it’s about time DAYS moved Freddie Smith into his own story. Christopher Sean is a great addition to the cast. (DAYS seems to do a better job casting men like Casey Moss than girls like True O’Brien) I did not see this story coming, which is another great reason to avoid spoilers, and I really thought Paul would not be anywhere near the gays of Salem. Smith again has a scene partner with whom he’s got bona fide onscreen chemistry. So give us more of Paul and Sonny, DAYS!
I never thought I will like Sonny with anyone but Will, but after new Will I think he has a great chemistry with Paul.
I would love it if they cast Mia Korf as his mom. And have her have an instant dislike for Southern Eve.
Ha! Brilliant! As long as Mia’s character says to Kassie’s Eve somewhere, “What, are you trying to replace me?” 🙂
I don’t like the gay stories, and do not watch that part of DAYS. When I saw Paul kiss Sonny, I was happy they put it at the end of the episode. I’ve been FF them since then, and will continue to do so. This is one time I hope Theresa goes completely off on someone….Because if he likes men he should not be deceiving women. I’m very thankful Y&R will not put these kind of stories on their show. Kudos to them. DAYS totally destroyed my favorite couple on the show (Nick and Gabi), just to make their gay couple come off like a couple of princes. Now they have their new gay character making a fool out of women by pretending to be straight. Please…Those producers and writers suck. JMHO
Ah yes, this is why I have you on my ignore list at soapcentral. You’re favorite couple was Gack and you hate gay storylines. So you don’t like watching two consenting adults, who just happen to be the same gender, being in love, but the kidnappers are just your cup of tea. You have problems with Paul using women but love Gabi, even though she knew who kidnapped Melanie and where she was but wouldn’t tell anybody just to cover her own butt. There was no way the situation with Andrew would end well for Melanie if no one could find her. She would either be held hostage for years or she would be killed (or both). Also, in both scenarios, I don’t see how rape would not be involved. So, Paul dating women is horrible but what Gabi did to Melanie, or what Nick did to Caroline by letting her be arrested for Trent’s murder even though he did the deed, didn’t put them on your ff list instead they were your favorites. And for the record, neither of those things had anything to do with Will and Sonny so please don’t act like Nick and Gabi were perfect little angels that were thrown under the bus to service WilSon. I’m also not sure what part of Will initially agreeing to deny his daughter so that Nick could raise her, put Will in a good light.
I’m sorry to everyone else for the rant, but nothing pisses me off more than people that have watched soaps for years, and have no problem with adultery, rape, murder, etc, jump on their moral high horse when there’s a gay storyline on the show. That’s some screwed up morals right there.
Please put me on your ignore list here as well. 🙂
I love Paul! I think Sonny needs someone who will treat him better than Will is treating him right now. Paul’s not doing much better yet, but he’s got potential. Maybe Will will come back with a Paul of his own?
And Bring Back Charlotte Ross as Eve!
Do we really need another triangle? Being it would be gay doesn’t negate the fact that Days overdoes the triangle thing.
Sonny has made it plain to Paul he is married, is happy, family & friends have surrounded them with love. Just because Will is being a stupid idiot is no reason that would be a deal breaker. Other marriages have survived worse.
I just do not honestly want Days to go another round of happy happy til married, get divorced and move on.
I think a former love coming in while Sonny is rather vulnerable might be interesting.
Frankly, I am sick and tired of couples being madly in love, bedding and kiss off. I am sick and tired of Salem marriages going the same route. If the writers are so inept they cannot write for couples together, then Corday better get on the ball and start looking around . He should have been doing so long ago.
I think Christopher Sean is the best looking cast member I’ve seen in a long time. I find his steady gaze disarming. I hope he is a good guy but if he isn’t, I hope he stays on the show. I’m a little sick of Will and his underhandedness but because of his daughter I guess he has to stay on the show. I would like to see Sonny and Paul work it out. Also get rid of Paige’s mother, she’s boring.
Hope Paul is a regular on Days forever . . . . .
He is so dam good looking and a hell of an actor,much better then Will. Hoping is gets to stay for quite some time and hope he and Sonny will end up to to gather . Will has to go!
i started watching DOOL when freddie was casted after he left 90210. watched for a good long time then it kinda got boring esp when the new cast wil came. Started watching again when Paul came..now my last name is narita! lol! I really hope paul will be regular in DOOL for a very very long time with sonny! #paulson SOLID!

‘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”.
Photo: NBC
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.
So, what do you think of NBC’s decision to cancel Brilliant Minds after two seasons? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.

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.
Photo: JPI
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.”
Photo: JPI
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.
As previously reported, the popular Calderon exited the soap opera last year to join the cast of the NBC primetime medical drama, Brilliant Minds as nurse Nico Silva, who in May will air the remainder of their second season. The series has been on the bubble for renewal by the network. His last episodes as Javi will also air this May on DAYS.
Since DAYS tapes ten months ahead of streaming, Martinez has been secretly ensconced in all the drama in Salem for quite some time. 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.

Like Calderon before him, Martinez is a multi-talented actor and singer. 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.
Martinez hails from Norfolk, Nebraska and appeared when he was very young at the Johnny Carson Theatre, and as DAYS fans know, Jacob is now working at the Days of our Lives studios, right where the “Tonight Show” is filled. In addition, Jacob Martinez is a graduate of The American Musical and Dramatic Academy (AMDA).
Taking to his Instagram on Thursday, April 30 once the news of his casting was revealed, Martinez, expressed, “Way too many people to thank in one post, so I’ll just say THANK YOU FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART to each and every person who continues to pour into me and encourage me to chase my dreams. I cannot even begin to express how grateful I am. I already feel beyond blessed, supported, and loved. See you all in Salem ⏳”
Jacob Martinez appeared on Friday on the Days of our Lives Instagram account announcing his casting. You can check it out below. Deadline was the first to report the casting switch.
So, excited to learn who is the new Javi Hernandez? Please welcome Jacob Martinez to the role and be on the lookout for his debut on June 30. Comment below.
