DAYS OF OUR LIVES: Kassie DePaiva and Casey Moss Bring The Tears As Eve and JJ Learn Paige is Murdered! True O'Brien Shares Goodbye To Fans!

On Wednesday’s episode of Days of our Lives, Paige was found murdered, and it was the end of the line for her portrayer True O’Brien. Paige is the second murder victim in the latest serial killer storyline on the NBC soap opera, the first being Serena Mason (Melissa Archer).
O’Brien took to her Twitteraccount this week and shared a heartfelt message to her fans as she ended her on-screen run, which actually ended for her some six months ago since DAYS tapes so far in advance. True had related: “Thanks everyone for all the love! On the bright side, some AMAZING and heart wrenching work is coming from @1CaseyMoss and @KassieDePaiva”
And it was Kassie DePaiva, who at the end of Wednesday’s episode had the moment of the day when Eve insisted on seeing her daughter’s lifeless body in the hospital morgue. Eve is now a grief-stricken mother having no idea what to do next now that her daughter has been taken from her. Later, she comes to see Justin (Wally Kurth) in the D.A. office and falls apart in his arms. Earlier, in the episode a shell-shocked JJ (Casey Moss) had found Paige dead in the shower in her dorm room.
The drama should continue in the days ahead which will also provide plenty of angst, tears, and drama for Moss and DePaiva as they grapple with the ramifications, and their endless guilt over this young woman’s death.
So, what did you think of Kassie and Casey’s performance? Will you miss True? Looking forward to seeing what happens with JJ and Eve? And, who do you think is the Necktie serial killer? If all signs are making it looks like the guilty party is Chad DiMera (Billy Flynn), who would then be the next victim? Share your thoughts below!

‘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.
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.

As powerful as both performances were, Casey Moss delivered a more believable performance for me than Kassie did in the final result.
In my opinion both Kassie and Casey delivered emmy worthy performances.
That’s very hard for Eve she loved Paige the highlight of her life but JJ he didn’t do anything to help he should’ve called to tell Eve but he didn’t so it was his own fault I hope he could be the next one to be killed off he shouldn’t be too attached to Paige and I want JJ to go and Jennifer and Abby
I thought JJ did a very poor job of showing his grief. I was surprised that he wasn’t as upset as I thought he should be. Very disappointing…as for Eve, I thought she did an excellent job.
Well Jill, please keep in mind, everyone shows grief not only at different times, but also in different ways. I don’t see JJ as the type of personality to breakdown into hysterical tears; I picture him to be more of the swallow that hurt and turn it into something else type of personality.
Eve killed paige
Definitely will miss True, she is a great talent, she really shinned in the last few months. I need to catch up on a few episodes to respond properly to the episodes revolving around Paige’s death. With that said, hoping Kassie submits herself for Lead or Supporting Actress next year!
Wow, I think you must be watching a different show than me because my opinion of True is the total opposite! LOL The poor girl couldn’t show emotion, rarely changed expressions, and basically walked through all her scenes. I kept hoping she’d get better, and I think there was one time she did show emotion, but I’m relieved she’s gone.
This killer story, if it gets rid of the totally useless characters, is a god-send! So far, so good!
I agree with SZima. The Paige character was lifeless when the character was alive.
I thought Paige would turn out to have a long lost twin Eve gave away at birth…Paige found out and has had secret off camera contact with the twin named Saige…Saige and Paige switched places…Paige left town and Saige pretending to be Paige was the one actually murdered…Anyway, you’d think with his ‘grandaughter’ murdered, Shane would come to town and help with the investigation???
Totally on board for all/any of that to pan out. True O’Brien showed Paige to be much more than the ‘way to sweet to be interesting’ cersion we originally met. Paige was finally starting to be interesting!
Yes, she was, Tom84. However, Paige always did have a sense of herself….of who she was…..very mature for her age. It is unfortunate to have things turn out the way they did. It is always the case when the writers attach complicated love stories to a character’s life. I would have loved to have seen the relationship between mother and daughter develop more extensively on the show.
Eve did a bad, bad thing. She is now paying the consequences of her actions. When flirting with fire, there is always the chance of getting burned.
I am so in tune with Eve right now…..her heart is no more. She is to be pitied and embraced, sorrow and all. A good ploy for the viewer to forgive what she did. Feeling sorry for her is one thing, but not blaming her for putting this in motion, is another.
I would like for Kassie to remain…I love and appreciate the actress. Perhaps, it took this tragedy to set her Eve on the right past….but, the cost is too much for me. The sacrifice too colossal. I get a pang in my gut each and every time a child is killed off.
as posts have “all” ready stated: the return of Frankie (Billy Warlock) WOULD create more mystery mayhem and feud between Eve and Jennifer…
I’m distraught for Eve’ : what if she had a child with Frankie that no one knows about…. and this would be the catalyst for one upping Jennifer… and these two just move ON. or at least have a mature feud .
I want for Eve to have her own child. NO… this isn’t right…
JIMHHHHHUHHHHHH
Paige Saige and a triplet Parsley..GOOD GRIEF MAN
And raised by Mrs. Dash…lol
I read that was casting the role of Summer. Maybe True got the job and will return as a different character altogether! Then the new character could be JJ’s girlfriend! Can’t you see the look on JJ’s face the first time he lays eyes on Paige’s look-a-like?
That would be great…
Just read your post, Jimh. What an imagination!!! May I have dome of your brain cells?
It makes more than perfect sense to me…Paige and Saige…twins….ok writers, let’s go!!
serial killers targeting young women is not entertainment. reminds me of the music box killer in OLTL–cheap misognistic thrills. right up there with killing children during ratings sweeps.
doesn’t mean that death and grief don’t have a place in soaps. they could actually have a plot about low income families and show how at risk kids are when they are poor. or have a rich character get caught up in drugs and get killed getting their fix (or explore the rise in heroin use across all classes)
But where people got the idea that serial killers focused on young women is a legitimate plot twist should be sent to rewrite hell
Some male characters will be killed off too…maybe Will and Bo???
Then you should check out Hollyoaks’ Glove Hand Killer storyline. Its victims have so far been male.
And let’s not have the killer end up being gay (I mean really how many of those are there–they are typically lumpy white heterosexual males). How about a fundementalist Christian who wants to kill all male adulterers? That would be an easy way of wiping out any male chaff on any show as there would be no one who would be immune!
I haven’t even seen the eps yet… and I’m crying…powerful wave of emotions wont stop
What’s my Eve’s hold ?
does she have a lifeline… for her daughter Life was bigger than her own
will we see Eve fragile, taken apart, shell shock…
will the humane lost part of her surface
doggone it…
tip my hat to @Ray
it looks like , we will be getting two of the Donovan woman (Eve and Theresa) moving the audience forward.
Eve w/ Eduardo… possibly Justin… and I can hope… w/Rafe.
Theresa with help from Maggie… for ownership of Basic Black…
I will continue to laud two of the most versatile women in Serial… Kassie DePaiva and Jenn Lilly…. who continually captivate and generate story… whether you like them or not… they reel worthy script
I love these two women… I hope Shane and Kimberly come home for Eve and Paige.
Yes, Patrick. Eve is falling apart as we speak. But, she’s a DONOVAN…..made of strong stuff. Picking herself up is the only way she can fortify herself for Paige’s sake. This is why she should immerse herself, neck deep, into finding the fiend that killed her precious baby. I hope the writers go that way. But, of course, Rafe has to be the hero. He’s back on the force….so, it stands to reason he has to be the super hero, yes? What say you?
Very sad that they killed off Paige. Kassie did give great performance.
She really did. But to me, it seems like Eve is still in shock – I have a feeling that in terms of Kassie’s fantastic performance, the best is yet to come!
“Oh” without doubt… Paige was her life
Kassie DePaiva’ best is here
The only part I didn’t like was a line Eve said when Justin took her home. Eve said she couldn’t believe Paige would not be sitting on the couch waiting for her. If Paige would not have been murdered, she wouldn’t have been waiting for Eve at the apartment. Paige would hardly set foot in there unless she had because she never got over what Eve did with JJ! The writers goofed on that line! Paige and Eve never “made up”. That is what the writers should have focused on. It would have added more opportunity for Kassie DePavia to snag an Emmy nod. Maybe it will come later (the dialogue or in a monologue).
Kassie really proved herself to her critics. No one can play a grief stricken mother as well as she can. I also love her paired up with Wally Kurth.
First off I have known for a longtime that Paige was going to die both actors did a fine Job on screen and Kassie was not Eve when she paid tribute to True O’Brien playing her daughter on Days. My mother told about Paige she got it from her Grandson Freddie Smith..none other than Sonny K.
So is true that Bo will be killed off? If not, how are the writers going to deal with the fact that Peter Reckell apparently only agreed to come back for three months because he didn’t like the way Bo was written off last time.
Kassie DePavia is leaving Days? Hope not!
This topic is so achingly real, I find it very hard to discuss it.
Kassie is so believable….she must be drawing this reality from personal experience…..straight from her heart….her gut. It is that painfully visceral.
She gave an emmy winning performance and won me over…i now like her as Eve!!!
Everyone will say this, but just when Paige got interesting, she died. This is one example why such an accelerated taping schedule can backfire. But it will allow Kassie to do what she does best…rage filled grief. And if it gets her out of the teeny bopper storyline, even better! She needs to be in league with the heavy hitters in Salem! The show is firing on all cylinders now, and is living up to the hype! I cant wait to watch it each day!! Casey Moss will impress as always, as the stakes are high now for all the characters.
dang! wow!
marquee, feature, and gavel….
LOL yes…
“…She needs to be in league with the heavy hitters in Salem! The show is firing on all cylinders now, and is living up to the hype! I cant wait to watch it each day! ”
I truly am at a loss for words.. on how good DAYS of OUR Lives has turned
each day I’m stupefied… at what’s reeling
LOL… gamut of tears, joyful, jubilation, that it’s in Salem!
this is one of the fastest turn around ! and take note ! this is not just good stuff… it’s the best !
I watch this show… each “DAYS” … building… the momentum… is taking off…
I’m just soaking in all production that’s going on
and cant believe it… so… i’m a little shell shocked with
It was really well done. I miss Paige now. I thought it was stupid for the writers to have Eve kiss Justin on today’s episode, on the same day she discovered Paige was dead.
The kiss made absolute sense. When Eve is desperate, she acts out sexually. That’s how she got JJ into her bed in the first place. She’d just learned that she could not have the throat surgery and saw that as the end of her singing career. Now, she’s lost her daughter and feels totally alone in the world. She probably doesn’t know any other way to try to cope. Eve is a deep disturbed character.
Kassie DePaiva is fantastic in this role.
Yeah I get what you are saying, my response when she kissed Justin was that it was that it was a cheap shock for the audience. But today’s 9/11 episode was awesome. Eve got to show remorse and guilt so I was really happy to see that. i know they want to put Eve and Justin together but I want to see Eve dealing what what happened. I hope they keep writing scenes like this for Eve because Kassie can really bring it.
I totally agree, but I suppose on one hand, they’ve already made Eve turn to men when things are bad, with the whole pouncing on JJ thing when she found out she couldn’t sing. I didn’t like it, but I can’t say it came as a surprise either.
Well the good thing is Eve was much better on today’s episode 9/11. She showed more remorse and Kassie did a fantastic job. I really hope that they write things like this where she shows her true talent. This Eve I would like to see more of.
Wow Days is getting good now, kassie Depaiva deserves a emmy next year. Her acting on yesterdays episode made me cry.
Oh wait til you see today’s episode, 9/11. She really knocked it out of the ballpark.
Personally, I was heartbroken. I didn’t see this coming, and I thought maybe it was a hoax to throw off the killer that Paige had agreed to do with JJ’s assistance, especially since he didn’t seem as overtly emotionally as I expected.
The performance given by Kassie DePaiva ranks as one of her best. Not crazy about her character but felt deep empathy for her as was crying with her when she kept saying “Paige I’m sorry,, I’m sorry” and I kind of lost it.
I really thought it was a hoax, but well, guess I was wrong, JJ and Paige were a cute couple, I was rooting for them somehow to surmount the recent events and get back together.
I guess now, Eve will hate JJ even more after her initial grief and despise Jennifer even more than she already does….and I guess this time around we can’t blame her.
WOULDN’T it be a kick though if JJ entered a room smiling and Paige was there, and it had all been a set-up to throw Clyde off the scent…..if indeed it IS Clyde behind these murders….and I suspect it’s not even him, I suspect it’s Aiden.
I really don’t want it to be Aiden.
I mean… what a tribute to Daniel Cosgrove
what an actor he’s turned out to be… just top notch… nothing over the top… a quiet, present … romantic.. tender… loving… He’s Masculine and yummy to boot…
when he first started…. I posted… he has magnificent eyes… they just throw me…. ! LOL… he’s that present…
I want it to be Ben. or… as some have posted… what if it’s Andre ?
Loving Kassie and Casey and already missing True! Loving the characters and storylines! Loving the twists and turns! Loving all of ‘Days of our Lives!’
Daniel or Jennifer is the necktie strangler. Daniel never wears his ties, so Jennifer may have found a use for them!
The next murder is said to be controversial…Victor or Caroline is my guess and Bo will be too late!
When Maggie and Victor were talking about Caroline and life, you kind of felt one of these three will be next…i still think its Will who is murderd and that is why Sami returns to Salem!!!
That could be, Jimh! Sami would also come back for Caroline…
OH please… do not let it be any of the three mention…. (Maggie, Victor, or Caroline)
let it be Will
I actually forgot for a moment that Caroline and Sami are related…she could be next but Guy Wilson isnt too popular with many Days fans so i still believe his DAYS(PUN) are numbered!!!
I found the reaction of JJ to be curiously understated. The shock and horror of finding the love of your life murdered was just not portrayed. There’s no way to know if this was the due to the actor’s choices or dictated by script or direction. Kassie DePaiva turned in an excellent and heart wrenching performance. Days is on fire and has gone from being my least favorite soap to my favorite.
casey protrayed jj as more angry and shocked then grief and sorrow! jj found the body and his mind went straight to anger towards cylde! casey s best when jj s angry! he tore the salem pd and cylde and a new one for paige s murder! i cant wait to see more of jj s reaction in upcoming episodes! casey s been so good at having a explosive temper and in between he s been delivering cool subtle performances! he s also been awesome as knowing he s out of his league in taking on cyles drugpin business and scared shitless!
casey s the best young actor and future days leading man! good job casey!
Kassie DePaiva’s performance was truly gut-wrenching & heart-felt. You could feel her pain. That was one of the best acted scenes I’ve seen on DOOL’s in a while. She really tapped in some raw emotion. She’s a true veteran! Love her!
I think either Ben is the serial killer & is trying to frame Chad so he won’t ruin the chances of Ben & Abigail being together. Or, it’s possible Aiden may be the serial killer.
As far as True’s character, I’m sad to see her killed off. I really loved her and Casey Moss’ on-air chemistry. But, I won’t be missing her over-all on the show. I know the new writers will be adding some dimension and excitement into the existing roles. Hopefully, any new characters on the show will be brought to life by great storylines.
ICAM! Wow. KDP brought it.
This was another great show. It seems the pace is almost too fast. After JJ found Paige, why did he not reach out to Jennifer and Abigail? It would have been great to see him have a final “morgue” scene with Paige, but it might have been too similar to EJ and Sami. I hope the show lets her death play out in many ways, especially with Eve and Justin, Eve and JJ finally calling a truce, etc. The drug storyline is getting lost in the shuffle with Patch, Bo and the murders. As much as I hate to admit it, I have not missed Sonny and he has already been gone for two weeks.
The show’s lighting looks better every day. The production standard is much better than three weeks ago. I look forward to the show every day again, which is something I haven’t said since Sami and EJ left the show.
Give us more Kate!
Keep up the great work.
And finally some different sets!!!
While I was never a fan of Paige, I thought the acting on all fronts in this storyline this past week has been stellar. Casey Moss and KDP were terrific. Just goes to show that when the writing challenges the actors as Paige’s death definitely does, these two performers can deliver and then some. For too long, DOOL has been too dull and uninspired, but the cast is energized and things are finally happening. It’s so much more fun to watch the show nowadays.
My question is WILL there be any more murders in Salem? I heard the rumor that Will Horton will be a victim. If Will is murdered by the Salem serial killer, it will most surely point the finger of guilt at Ben because Abigail has been confiding in Will. When Ben finds out and hears convention between Abigail and Will, he (Will) is toast!
As far as Paige’s death is concerned, I addressed that on the page that discusses Aiden, Paige and Bo. Don’t care to repeat myself here.
Regarding Paige’s death I will say this… Why hasn’t Theresa been told that Paige has been murdered? Theresa should have found out by now! Instead they have her running around trying to buy Basic Black!
Everybody in Salem knows that Theresa is Eve’s nearest kin in Sake. It is not realistic that no one would contact Theresa regarding Eve!
Even though Theresa is not the most mature or responsible person in Salem, she could have been told her sister needs her. I attribute this to short-sightedness on the part of the writers. There would still be time for Theresa to pursue buying Basic Black. (Although I think that idea is ridiculous and I hope that falls through because the notion is not believable even for a soap opera!)
I really think the writers are trying to mature Theresa and give her some growth…
I say: it’s about time
as i’m watching the best of daytime…
I watch scenes with Daniel, Eric, Brady, and Nicole… and have so little interest in them…
and these 4 were (doing their best) at carrying the show
so I can’t totally abandon their characters
everything else about DAYS is exciting
I believe the writers are trying to mature Theresa and I am all for that. But it should be done in a way that is plausible. Getting a job drawing designs would be plausible. One could even believe that Theresa is so excited about exploring her fashion design talents that she would come to work regularly, work hard and learn the fashion design business. But the idea of buying Basic Black or the idea of Nicole agreeing to partner Theresa is too farfetched.
Maybe the writers didn’t know how good Jen Lilley had been at portraying irresponsible and immature Theresa! Surely they couldn’t have come up with this ridiculous story if they had known.
I was never really a Paige fan however I do love Kassie I think she did a wonderful job as the grieving mother,actually speaking for myself I love Eve.I just feel so sorry for her .She always look so sad ,and if someone ever killed my daughter or son worse yet my grandchildren I would go after the sob myself.As far as Chad is concern no I don’t think he killed anyone ,it will be someone that you would never expect.Who knows maybe it is VIctors nephew I know he left town but how do we know for sure if he did or not.Now that is someone who is very capable of Murder we all know that.I hope Eve doesn’t get killed and I like her with Justin
I missed the part about Xander leaving town…. what an opportune time to return him… back to the show… as was posted… that… he’s the son Vincent Irizarry’
this would a a surefire twosome
another strong family to feature
PS: I Love the potential of Eve and Justin
I read in a SOD issue that Adrienne is breaking things off with Lucas and wants another chance with Justin…
could Eve be the one to make all the difference…. for big time drama…
and before we even have time to soak this in… VI character falls for Adrienne?

I don’t know if you did catch the show yesterday or not but Adrienne and Justin are going to give it another try .Oh rats I was so hoping that Eve and him would become an item.Unfortunately I just don’t see that happening especially now that Adrienne is going back to Justin,ugh,Oh do you or anyone else here get the Pop channel?Well they are now showing same day episodes of Days every night from 8-9 pm so now if we miss an episode we can always watch it there.. I also saw that Days ratings are not doing to well,maybe this necktie killer story will pick it up somehow ,funny they should do another serial killer story because I have been thinking for months now they need something like the Salem Slasher story or the Salem Strangler and boy was I ever happy when they decided to do this because the shows need something to liven it up. I want to see more of Eve ,I have this sneaky feeling that she will be on a lot more now,Good because as far as I am concerned she is the best part of the show.
What if the reason that Justin is so eager to put Chad behind bars is that he, Justin, is the killer? It’s far-fetched but they can justify it somehow if they wanted to. Meanwhile he and Eve grow closer and closer, making the reveal that much more dramatic. Just a passing thought….
I don’t think it is far fetched I went on record on another thread that Justin was my gut feeling to be the killer. The killer has to be someone no one would suspect in a million years. It has to be a character that is central to the show, but whose long term potential is limited– Days lured WK from GH, and I doubt he switched shows just to be a two bit player– and Justin owns a lot ties– the only mystery if this is true is what turns Justin into a murderer and what is his motive? Of course just by guessing Justin this early could be he is just a red herring and in the end we will all be surprised by the real killer.
1. i’m reveling in “all” the posts
because they’re that good
and DAYS is reigning
but… Wally Kurth’ Justin
this would be thee sucker punch of all sucker punch
I love him too much
but his acting is so sublime intelligent and mystifying that i’m on for the ride
I thought Kassie was phenomenal; as I expected she would be.
I’m not a fan of any Devereaux character. And I find any scene where Casey has to express significant emotion to be horrible. His voice takes a pitch that is incredibly whiny & grating.
I’m hoping Eve channels all her fury over Paige’s murder and directs it at Jennifer, JJ & Saint Abigail.
Kassie was amazing. I haven’t cried during a soap in ages but I have this week. Awesome performances!
I agree and yes I did some crying myself too.
Why did they have to kill Paige off, her and JJ made a good couple. I’m bout to stop watching Days and when is Clyde going to get his cause he needs to be stopped!
paige was just starting to be interesting. There are other characters that I’d like to see the serial killer strike…Theresa, for instance isn’t believable as a person that could possibly be in charge of basic black… Really? Cmon she still appears to look and act like a child could you really picture her as a woman in charge? It’s laughable!!
Kassie is one of the great actresses of the genre. If things had turned out differently I was certain she would have taken over from the great Erika Slezak as the matriarch of OLTL. Alas, was not meant to be.
I miss our beloved One Life to Live and all the fascinating people of Llanview so very, very much.
Its over three years since the people of Llanview left ABC. I assume you were a long time viewer as I was. There was never a better crafted, family oriented, funny or entertaining soap. I mourns and miss it still.
I think Clyde is the killer.
I hope you’re right. But I dunno. I think that is what they want us to think and they will twist it and it will be perhaps Ben? Ben knew Paige from before they both arrived in Salem so there is some history there. I think he’s trying to set up Chad to get him out of the way and apparently he has no conscience.
KDP always delivers, but I found her scenes way too short to have the needed impact. Soaps today think we have zero attention span so they switch scenes with dizzying speed.
can a body tell me about Justin and Adrians kids other that Sonny
Justin has a son with Angelica named Alexander. Justin and Adrienne adopted twins they named Joey and Victor and Sonny is their only natural child together.
pueformance good…willmiss True…Bens dad behind the killings…jenifer or JJ may be next
I know who the murderer is.. .Non other than Eric Brady.. Notice the ties he has been wearing these days… It has to be someone we know and someone we would never expect… There are clues that days is planting in the scenes.. we need to be watching for them.. .I am sad that I have figured it out so early though… but watch.. you heard it first from me!! Tim S…………………….
My husband has been saying the same thing – Eric.
U r proberly right it will be someone we least suspect. I just want Clyde gone. I am surprised at Victor and Stefano. They R suppose to know everything. I’m mad because of EJ. Stefano should know by now that Clyde was behind EJ murder. And the bug he planted hasn’t been found yet. Eve caused Paige death with all her meddling, she put everything in motion.
well I sat and just cried my eyes out for Eve. Her acting was superb. I really hated to see True go. I wanted so badly for her and JJ to get back together. Please leave Nichole and Daniel alone. She deserves to be happy. I think the killer is either Clyde or the less obvious is that overbearing Justin. I wish Rafe would smack him. Mmmmmmm maybe it’s Aiden. That would be a good way for them to get rid of him leaving Hope available for Bo. So far I’m enjoying the story. I only wish it was two hours long so we could get an hour of show instead of a half an hour with all those stupid commercials. I love Days. Been watching since day 1
I don’ t know if it was just me but watching Kassie today crying and throwing and knocking things over I broke down and yes I did cry.It felt so real.Hey I know I would have done the same thing as Eve,it just touched me so another job well done by Kassie
Okay I have at least two people I can think of who maybe the killer ,how about Ben we all know he has a mean tempter ,now get ready for this one Rafe,I know you are saying no way would Rafe ever kill someone,Hey they have had bad cops before and he to is such in a hurry to have Chad put in jail.also just a thought suppose the killer is a woman well any woman can go into a store and buy a tie,or perhaps it is someone that hates all woman as long as whoever it is doesn’t kill eve,, just a thought ,just do what I do try to look for clues for instance how some people talk I knew who the strangler was after a month by the way Jake talked,
Okay so here I am playing detective again ,something i love to do anyway that is besides the point here is a name to that I think could be the murderer ,are you ready for this Joey that’s right Kayla and Patch’s son hey he sure has a problem there is something that smells about him I know he has been angry because his dad wasn’t around but I believe there is more then that ,he looks and acts like he is dangerous is that the right wood to use and did anyone notice the killings started just about the same time Joey came into town. I could be wrong it is only a guess,but we wont know anyway till November ,,,
I also have this strong feeling that Eve and Jen will become close.Jen will feel so bad for her it may take awhile for Eve to even consider Jen as a friend,but we all know that Jen can be nice if she wants to be,I wouldn’t be upset if they got rid of Jen .never liked her snooty attitude,like she is miss perfect makes me want to upchuck lol Also that story with Abby and Ben does absolutely nothing for me at all it is just so boring ,,, To be honest I would rather have Abby with Chad…
I think that Rafe is the killer hey who would suspect him so he is a cop big deal cops can kill someone just like everyone else ,and he seems to want put someone away really fast .Even Marlena acted like she was so afraid of him.He to me looks to be hiding something and check out his and Chads jacket.if I am right they are wearing the same jacket ,so whoever thought they might have seen Chad may have actually seen Rafe.just a thought ,
As I was watching the show today I could just feel Eves pain,I cried along with her .Kassie is such a great actress and I hope she stays on days for years to come. She has touched my heart with her performance today,, she made me wish that I could reach out and give Eve a big hug.
Oh my God it has ben and yes I spelled it that way for a reason =i love to use puns but I was half way right I did say either Ben or Rafe, of course it has to be Ben the guy has a bad temper and I know he would do anything to have Chad put away.I hope Abby isnt this stupid to go away with him,but my question is why kill Paige and try to kill Marlena,? What did she ever do to him.I hope they catch his sorry well you know soon.Cant wait to see Eves face when she see’s who the killer is ,to be honest the minute Ben pulled that box out from underneath his bed I knew right away there would be ties in there ,Imagine how Abby will feel when she finds out her husband is the killer .I wonder now what is going to happen we are not suppose to know anything until November,so who knows,,,,by the way everyone have a nice day
whoops I meant to say it has ben a long time since days had a serial killer ,good job
Oh no not again well I just heard that Days has let go of Eve.I am not a happy camper.Days is making a huge mistake,why do they keep getting rid of characters that I love? I was so hoping that Kassie would be on Days for a ,long time .This stinks,well Kassie if you should read this ,I am so sorry that you are leaving you are not only a wonderful actress and I know you have a beautiful singing voice to .Days should have never made you stop singing .Now the only song I am singing is the blues.I am a big fan ,love ya. a fan
If I could write to Kassie I would tell that I think it just stinks that Days is letting her go.Whatever happened with the story that Eve was going to drive Jennifer crazy?? I knew something was up when they never had her Eve doing anything or talking about it.She is one of the main reasons why I watched days.Bad idea letter her go.As I sat here today watching her at Paiges funeral and breaking down the way she did ,oh what the h-l I sat here and broke right down with her.I know what it feels like to lose someone .I lost my husband .That is besides the point I could feel Eve’s pain.I dont blame her one single bit for yelling like that what was she suppose to do? I wish that Days would just let her stay.Is this due to the new writers letting her go I say all of this is bs.I should have know once her daughter was killed Days was going to do this.Hey this is awful just so awful I so looked forward everyday to watch Kassie perform and Kassie you got a raw deal I loved you as Eve.Damn it Days why couldn’t you get rid of Jennifer or Ben ,
Kassie’s performance was indeed worthy of an award. As a mom of a beloved daughter, I cried buckets. I didn’t like the writers killing off Paige. True is precious.
I agree with you about Kassie.I just wish Days didn’t can her.I have daughter to so I could feel her pain.Call me silly but I felt so bad yesterday for Eve I wish I could have jumped into the tv screen and give her a hug,
