Everyone is waiting to see the debut of Chrishell Stause in her new soap role on Days of our Lives come Mid-August. While Chrishell is still sworn to secrecy to not reveal much of her new Salem alter-ego, it is difficult not to, especially since the beautiful actress had been taping for a few months now at the NBC soap!

On-Air On-Soaps Michael Fairman caught up with Chrishell at the 40th Annual Daytime Emmy Creative Arts Awards a few weekends ago for this video interview, where we ask the former All My Children star about what she can tell us about her new role on DAYS!

Stause relates: “I can give you a little bit. So here is what I am allowed to say … she works in a hospital. She has a big secret. I work a lot with Galen Gering (Rafe) and Lauren Koslow (Kate), who I love. I can say she is very opposite of Amanda on All My Children. So I am playing something completely different!”

At the Creative Arts Emmys, The Young and the Restless current casting director, Judy Blye Wilson won for Casting Direction, Chrishell took a moment in our interview to honor her, and relieve her casting process of getting her first soap role on AMC through Judy, who was at that time casting the ABC soap. And, that Judy was also responsible for Chrishell’s BFF, Y&R’s Melissa Claire Egan landing her soap roles as well!

Stause recalled, “Do I remember? Of course I remember. I am from Kentucky! So is Judy Blye Wilson, and so we bonded on that. You have to remember, this is the first time I had gone through the audition process, but I had gone through a lot of rejection before that. So, I was thinking, ‘free trip to New York’, whatever. But Judy was so lovely, and made me feel special the whole time. She told me later she always had her eye on me.”

In addition Chrishell shares her thoughts on the revival of All My Children, working with former co-star, Ricky Paull Golden (Ex-Jake, AMC, now Jesse, B&B) and more!

Watch the video interview below and let us know what you think Chrishell’s role will be on DAYS? And, if you are excited to see her back on daytime!

I hope Days is not setting themselves up by making such a big deal by keeping her role a secret for so long. I have seen shows play up so called secrets and they end up being a total letdown. for Day’s sake I hope they know what they are doing because we all know viewers will not have a problem voicing their disappointments.

I loved Chrishell on AMC and I wish that she was part of the online reboot, which has been excellent. But I’m really looking forward to seeing her on Days. She’s not only a gorgeous young woman, but also a very talented actress.

She is SO HOT & Sexy!

and I readily admit I’m Gay.

she’s captivating… alluring… dynamic without trying… she’s a natural presence.

only knowing her from AMC…. I think she is a STAR.

Hot Women – HOT MEN. why we watch Serial. and LOVE.

I’m waiting for Chrishell and Jenn Lilly to come back.

Guest

Looking forward to her reveal.

I think there is a lot of storyline if she was indeed Cassie. We would all need to forget how Cassie and Rex were introduced on the show, but could add a whole new dimension to Kate. Since Billie and Austin’s return was not well-received, I would like to see Rex and Cassie come back. I also wish Brandon Beemer (Shawn-Douglas) and Belle would come back. Maybe Jen Lilly is the new Belle?

OMG I love her!!!! I hope she’s the new Cassie Brady!!!!!!!!!!

Guest

Tony

I hope she is the new Cassie too. That would give so much potential for storyline, especially if she hooks up with Rafe….who has dated both her mom (Kate) AND her TWO of her sisters….(Carrie and Sami)…I mean seriously, Days…can we say drama??

I will continue watching no matter who she plays. DAYS is not a YawneR.

It’s obvious that she’s Cassie and that she’s also Rafe’s physical therapist — since she’s Kate’s daughter and Sami’s sister that would be the logical Days thing to do.

DAYS Alison Sweeney Previews the New EJami

June 6, 2021

Coming up on Days of our Lives, Dan Feurerriegel take over the role of EJ DiMera on-screen, and the character is making quite the timely, or untimely return to Salem now that Sami (Alison Sweeney) has been hitting the sheets with her ex-husband, Lucas (Bryan Dattilo).

Feurerriegel is stepping into the coveted role of EJ made soap-famous by James Scott, who left the series back in 2014 and never returned.

Now the question is can Sweeney and Feurerriegel strike soap gold with their re-imagined duo known as “EJami”?

In the latest issue of Soap Opera Digest on newsstands now, Alison Sweeney opened up about the casting, working with Dan, and the future of EJami sharing: “To be honest, I was nervous when I heard they were recasting EJ. That’s a big role to fill, I mean, James Scott was definitely a fan favorite and EJ is such a memorable role in the story and certainly in Sami’s life.”

Sweeney said of sharing scenes with Feurerriegel, “Dan has been fantastic. I’ve really enjoyed working with him. He clearly understood the importance of the task ahead.”

As for what fans of EJami may be in for, Sweeney noted: ” I hope those ‘EJami’ fans see the couple they were so connected to, but of course, in a new, different way.”

So will you be giving the new EJami a chance? Looking forward to Dan’s debut, or are you Team Lumi all the way? Share your thoughts via the comment section below. But first check out this week’s promo for DAYS.

DAYS Billy Flynn Opens Up To Maurice Benard About His Battle with Addiction on All-New ‘State of Mind’

May 30, 2021

In a terrific episode of Maurice Benard’s (Sonny Corinthos, General Hospital) State of Mind You Tube series, the actor welcomes another one of the best actors on daytime, Days of our Lives star Billy Flynn (Chad DiMera, Days of our Lives).

What made this so compelling was Billy Flynn’s ability to talk openly, frankly, and with great understanding about his battles with addiction which he notes have been alcohol, drugs, and the cycles he has found himself in within his life and how he was able to break free of them, and the work he continues to do to keep him from falling back into them.

Flynn shares how much of his adult life was greatly impacted by his childhood, and explained to Benard, how he acted out when he was younger. He also shares how his addiction caused issues for awhile with his job at Days of our Lives.

This episode is a powerful one to watch for anyone struggling with issues of addiction, dependency, suicide, having problems at work, and trying to not self-destruct, which so many of us do, once we seemingly get what we what or while we are trying to obtain it.

Bravo to Billy and Maurice for bringing this forward and to the audience.

Watch Billy’a visit on State of Mind below, followed by a bonus segment where Flynn asks Benard some ‘hard-hitting’ questions.
