Days Of Our Lives
DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Eve Drops A Bombshell That She is Mrs. Deimos Kiriakis!
Courtesy/NBC
At Deimos’ (Vincent Irizarry) gravesite, Brady (Eric Martsolf) and Victor (John Aniston) are surprised to run into a shocking black widow, Eve Donovan, signaling the triumphant return of Kassie DePaiva to Days of our Lives.
In story, Eve lets the gents know, “Where else would I be but at my husband’s side?” She then clarifies … she married Deimos six months ago! Eve is armed with proof to show Victor and Brady … a marriage certificate. In story, Deimos and Eve apparently tied the knot back in April while Nicole (Arianne Zucker) and Brady were off in Canada!
In flashbacks featuring a return by Vincent Irizarry, Eve says he was at the mansion when she returned to town and Deimos was alone. She admits she had lost her job and needed somewhere to stay. It appears Deimos had been drinking, but Eve swears he was not drunk and in his right mind, and that they bonded over lost love and their mutual dislike of Victor. They later married at City Hall and spent their honeymoon in the tropics until he left her high and dry, after Deimos got a lead on Nicole’s whereabouts. Eve claims she was notified that Deimos’ remains were released, which is why she’s there. Victor asks what she wants and what is her bottom line. Eve does not think this is the time, nor the place, to talk about all of that!
Kassie DePaiva took to Twitter and commented on getting the chance to work with Vincent Irizarry, tweeting: “Loved working with #Eve ‘s new hubby @VincentIrizarry you are a force! #greatactor #greatguy @nbcdays #gl #oltl“
Are you glad to have Kassie back on-screen at DAYS so Eve can shake-up the canvas? Were you glad to see Vincent Irizarry in scenes? Comment below!
It’s a neat twist. I love seeing stories like this, with in fighting and bitching in mansions and among characters we know and love. That’s soap opera! Leave the gunfights and gore to the movies. I am glad Kassie is healthy after her bout with cancer. Always good to see Her on screen!! Her last go round was wasted on teeny bopper manufactured “drama”. This time she is playing with the big boys, the heavy hitters. That’s where an actress of her caliber belongs!
can we say – Wally Kurth ‘ Justin and Eve are top of the line heavy hitters
now that Adrienne is “back” and will nurse Lucas back from the bottle.
this frees up Justin to have at IT
Justin and Adrienne are going to get back together.
I think Chloe and Lucas may find their way back to each other. I wish they’d bring Anne back, especially now Lucas is free.
Ron Carlivati who is the show’s head writer worked with Kassie in the past.So he may know what she is capable of and knows she deserves to be used with the heavy hitters at Days.Plus i’m wondering if the show will make Eve the new bad girl of sorts.
Salem – really – doesn’t have a resident baddie.. and who , from which to cull.. the best
with Sami and Nicole , gone
even Theresa had her moments
Eve will turn and tantalize so much more
show stopper
I am thrilled to have Kassie DePaiva back on Days. I’ve been waiting for her since Ron’s writing began airing. I’m sure he has exciting things planned for Eve. Since Eve is Deimos’ widow, perhaps the question of who will be CEO of Titan has been answered. Yes, she has no business experience; but, this is a soap opera.
as much as I love Freddie Smith character.. he certainly isn’t CEO material… as of yet
GADS – can we say… Freddie Smith is far and away a better actor , than Chad Duell @GH. HIM ? CEO of ELQ?
JUST love Justin and ( @NED – GH ) both should be vying for and wresting control of… Kiriakis and ELQ. Wally Kurth is the BESTEST
Kassie DePaiva and Wally Kurth have the MOST chemistry.. natural pairing if ever I saw
lots of potential for hotted out every thing
it pains me to say this : and I LOVE TO BITS.. everything John Anniston
GOD – we do not see Peggy McKay
with our beloved Joseph Mascolo passed
it’s time to move forward and cement ties on keeping the Kiriakis a stronghold.. just like the DiMera family
you’d have Victor, Maggie, Brady, Sonny, Eve… to solidify
that’s a whole lot of personality, discord, and charged energies.
same goes for the DiMera Manse – I am so IN LOVE with :
Chad and ABs – who are the definition of LOVE LOVE LOVE. Man the dynamic and energy between the hottest Newbie coupling in all of daytime… STIR
OK – I’m marquee’ Koslow and Penglis… the dream team of all get out.
the funsters with panache – the dole’ing out of terrific times to be had
case in point : Monday 10/23 ep
Andre to Kate : “Tell me about Will”
Kate : “He accepted me more than my kids every did”
as Kate and Andre embrace :
Kate : “I dont’ want my hopes dashed ”
Andre: “you’re going to be fine, I’ll see to that”
I will always christen Lauren Koslow AND Kate Roberts as thee “I’m every woman”
she just resonates class, style, sex, drive, and always put together.
SO.. to see Kate – open up – with a sensitive pull from the heart , her love for her grandson… just choked… to see our Kate “crying” sharing and REELING
the DiMera family is so ON par of why I love DAYS
it’s so telling – that Ron Carlivati is keeping up with and further driving the two families outside of the Brady and Horton… the always present
Kiriakis and DiMera
what a show
I sometimes roll my eyes at the diMera madness on DAYS but this twist excited me. It is plausible. And it brings back Ms. DePavia, a talent that should be featured. (And likely will considering the writer in charge now!)
Just hoping we don’t get too much crazy in Salem.
Well today’s episode 10/31 brings more crazy!
LOL, blake…you may be right; but I love it. And, I love Kassie….so, if this new ‘development’ showcases her outstanding talent, I’m all for it.
I’ve oft wished that Xander is Deimos’ son. as Victor told “Bonnie” that Xander is free and out of touch.
could this be in the wings ? Paul Telfer is such a good charismatic actor.. that his return
would be most welcome
I like it, Patrick…..never would have assimilated those facts…..bravissimo!!
Nobody’s listening to me—that bastard Deimos is still alive!!!
I wouldn’t be surprised if he returned in time for the new year right just as Eve is settling in as the wealthy widow…
If Deimos is alive, then Nicole and Eric could be together.
I also wonder if Deimos is still alive but is in hiding because he could face charges for drugging those people at that party.So while Deimos is in hiding Eve does his dirty work for him.Plus i have a feeling that Brady to get Eve out of the picture will try to frame her for killing Deimos.Then just as Eve is about to go down for killing Deimos he walks into the courtroom or whatever showing he’s alive.Then i could see Deimos and Eve been a power couple of sorts in Salem.
no matter , the naysay
gawd… bad writing has “wreaked” so much havoc on any show
Kassie DePiava , like reading a phone book.. makes something
she rung it up; with –
JJ
Justin
Eduardo
PLUS she excelled with sister Theresa and daughter Paige
that’s saying a “whole” heck of a lot for a fantastic actress
for storyline purposes… of course it’s eye to eye when two forces collide
Deimos and Eve – dang just saying their names , reads
her entry in to Salem – thankfully is in the past. whenever any show pits a newbie with a “veteran” and is propped as such. does not do any favors for actress or character.
such was the case with the constant bludgeoning of Eve with Jenny Bear.
NO WAY is that going to happen this time around. Eve will take blood
Today’s Halloween episode (10/31) is really wild, even more returns that were not announced! I hope it’s not a dream.
It was! Abby’s!
Kassie d is the best!
And there goes ReRon…. totally rewriting history to benefit his OLTL pets, just like he did when he was destroying GH.
There is absolutely no valid reason to have a character named “Eve Donovan” on this show unless Charlotte Ross wants to come back.
Happy that Kassie beat cancer. Not happy that she’s back on Days…. she adds nothing of value to the show.
Perhaps she will, this time, Satan. If we are to believe Eve is Deimos’ ‘bride’, she will ensconce herself in the mansion, as its mistress, per se.
Whole ‘lotta’ havoc goin’ on…..right up your alley, yeah!!
i still dont think that is Susan…i think it really is Kristen!!!
A femme fatale is a stock character of a mysterious and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations. She is an archetype of literature and art.
this is Eve : with no limits
Welcome back Kassie.I still don’ think that Deimos is dead.I just have this feeling that he is hiding somewhere.
Clever twist! Love all actors involved. Nice treat for OLTL and AMC fans.
Even though it’s kinda hard to process how the marriage came to be, I like it as it will put Eve against Victor and Brady. Exciting story ahead! Welcome back Eve/Kassie.
Towel drop
tripp
and Chloe – w/Theo
this is working
AND Claire ! that is the cutest I’ve ever seen her in that Pussycat drag
AND I – am in LOVE – with – THAT – Elvis
John Enos, ex Bobby Marsino, Y&R
@DAYS playing “Elvis”
WHAT a Comedic turn… SO laugh out loud FUN’ny
Kassie DePiava – you can just feel and see the – Layers – of talent , drop – take flight
WOWSAH
as she immerse’ herself in Eve and All the denizen of Salem
THIS has got to be the most exciting TURN.. for Ron Carlivati
with his beloved profession… his beloved turn @OLTL
getting to share his passion and love for .. Kassie
I LOVE HER TO BITS !
she’s a priority in my book.
Mr. R C – should you read this
“Thank You” for the sterling and uncompromised scripture. Days is a complete hour
Billy Flynn – as that swash-BUCK-ling – you’re in danger for wanting MORE
Eve is Deimos’s widow…never saw that one coming…lol.
Show has gotten kind of ridiculous, at least to this viewer.
The Halloween Dream was, to me, so obviously a dream. The only thing
I didn’t know was “whose” dream it actually was, turned out to be Abigail’s dream.
If others like it, meaning the way the show is now, that’s fine with me, maybe I have been watching soaps too long for after a very short while, they all re-hash the same silly stories. Also, the sets are tiresome – it’s like, they have 3 sets, and how many times can people meet at the “town square” – and everytime someone goes off to a “cabin” regardless of what state it is, it’s the same cabin set.
I think this show should thank it’s lucky lucky stars it is still on – Stronger shows, like One Life to Live and All My Children have unfortunately bitten the dust (but may someday seen a regrouping and new launching) and yet somehow this show survives.
It would have been more interesting if Casey Deidrick and Kate Mansi had appeared in Abby’s dream.

‘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.
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.
