If they’re beautiful and sexy that’s great, but we are looking for somebody who can step in and fill this legitimate role with a legitimate storyline, and a really well constructed character.”
Applications are being accepted until March 22nd, with shortlisted applicants to film a scene and the chosen winner flown to LA. To apply click here at Days of our Lives Search For A Star. The requirements are as follows:

35
age 20-35 … DAYS : Mary Beth Evans, the lovely Kayla would like some company
Enough of these Aussies, already. Hire an American. We have plenty of ruggedly handsome men right here, in this vast, beautiful country of ours. Think Texas, Montana, the Dakotas….etc. If Australians can speak with a ‘patched up’ American accent, so can an American affect an Australian one. I don’t get it…look in your own backyard, casting directors! Let’s go to Days, now…..Am I to believe that Paul is John’s son? I really like that concept…Finally, something meaty for John. He’s not my favorite soap actor, but, now, at least, I will not be as bored or annoyed by him. How… Read more »
Soaps are big in Australia. I wonder how many Americans are cast on their soaps?
If that is the case, Timmm, where there is an even balance?…..Then, I will eat my words and take everything I wrote back.
Of course Daniel is involved with this…may as well call it ‘Daniel Of Our Lives!’
Too many newbies…all i like is Paul and his mother…Eve, Paige, Serena, Daniel, Melanie, and Erik can all leave town. Why does this show need Roxanne(she is sort of ok) when it already has Bev…and why cant Paige be seeing Rory, the cool one, instead of TheNewKidOnTheBlock?
I don’t know how this is going to be possible, but the way Paul’s mother reacted to both Marlena and John– I bet my last donut, that John is going to be Paul’s father.
Perfect : ‘Daniel Of Our Lives!’
darned if you do and darned if you don’t : right?
How is it possible that one “anointed” person is ALL Salem Needs?
like CeeCee said above…. I’m glad as well.. that John Black gets story… and YES! it’s Paul Norita…
I was instantly taken with his mother
I also agree… that watching Eve jealous… surprised me… I’m still not undone by the story… if the writing improves… these two able actors are ready
What about Bren Foster? 🙂
I guess since B&B and Y&R both have Australians, Days wants to compete. 😉
I’m not necessarily excited. Just want the show to improve.
Compete for what, Mo? Who has more Australians? Seriously? We are swarmed by them……meanwhile, there are starving American actors who are struggling right here in the US of A.
What is Ingo Rademacher (formerly GH’s Jax) up to these days?
I”m thinking they need some male hunk to keep Anne, Theresa, Melanie, and Serena company… add in Kayla
Australians seem to breed hunks, Patrick. Love the accent…nothing like the real thing…
Theresa is still so ” hung over” Brady, Patrick. So, yeah, a hunky doctor for her would sober her up in more ways than one. Anne is just too funny to have a guy come around and kill that in-your-face aura surrounding her. If she falls for some man, she will lose all that spunk I love so much and put all her energy toward impressing her love interest. Serena should take a train, plane or hike back to Llanview. Melanie has Brady, for the time being…hope he goes back to Theresa and both be united with the baby Kristen… Read more »
I wish they would search for a new Will. I wouldn’t mind if Will had an Aussie accent as long he could act.
Yes- I agree Tad- a new Will- one who can ACT woukd be a great improvement. Every single time Guy opens his mouth I cringe. And I really wish Sonny would stop acting like such a pussy. Man up and get angry, upset, etc.- but I’ve had enough of Sonny as ‘victim’.
ditto
it just boggles the mind that the DAYS production team keep Guy Wilson and Shawn Christian .
they do not ACT
Tell me about it, Patrick. I doubt TPTB will rid themselves of Shawn any time soon. He is one of the lead actors, if not the top male character. I also think that Daniel and Nicole really fit…perhaps because they are a couple in real life? I am waiting with bated breath to finally see “them” bring these two together, finally, without a hitch. I really feel they will be explosive because Nicole has that extra ingredient which helps her male counterpart shine. Let’s see what happens. Will? He has never worked for me. After all this time, he is… Read more »
Ingo Rademacher.
He was up for a role on the series back in the early 2000’s, but it fell through.
Since Days is big in the land down under I suspect this is a way to get them involved with the 50th Anniversary of the show– it is a stunt, nothing more, and unless they luck out and find an amazing talent, this guy will last as long as Lexie’s half brother, who I have already forgotten this name- I want to say Cameron is that right? Let’s hope they write him a better story than being a male stripper to pay off medical school loans.
It does seem obvious John is Pauls father…wish he had been Abe’s instead…for John they shouldve brought back his daughter Belle!!!
Steven Spiel. Has day time soap experience check out
http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=y_qX-NuHnyI
Nah….not hunky enough. Lips too thin…not tall enough….not handsome …JMO.
How do we get Zachary Garred in the running? Loved seeing that Aussie on my screen. Granted it would mean having to start watching Days but if it means ZG onscreen, I’ll do it and I bet I wouldn’t be the only one.
Oh yes, I do miss Zachary as Levi on GH. And, I do think it’s very doubtful that DAYS will consider ZG. I think they are really pushing for an Aussie actor who hasn’t appeared on any other American soap.
I would love to see Bren Foster return to daytime!
@Mo said the same thing above ! YES… even tho he’s been on DAYS before… they wasted him and never utilized his character
(May 2011 – February 22, 2012) he played Vivian Alamains son… Quinn
RETURN HIM as a new Character, or as Quinn….
my other pick would be Ben Lawson….
Bren was GREAT as Quinn – the most convincingly devlish bad-guy on Days in years. They made a mistake letting him go, imho. Hope they pick someone like that for this new role. The Aussies have charisma to spare (Bren, Ingo, Nathan parsons, etc.)
Side note – Australian … I wonder if he is connected to Tony/Andre? A long lost son?
It’s a bit ambitious, but it would certainly help Days ratings if they could land a Hemsworth – they’ve all done soaps before!
Even someone like Jonathon Wood, Wade Briggs, Matthew Le Nevez or Conrad Coleby sound like they’d fit the brief! Not sure whether the first two meet the ‘rugged’ criteria but they’ve all proved they’ve got the chops to handle it!
OMG. If one of those Hemsworth brothers would even appear temporarily, I would immediately stop picking on the Aussies. Is there a word that supersedes gorgeous, beautiful, perfection, flawless…..?????
This should go to Nathin Butler, he was gone way too soon from GH
Good choice!
Forgot all about him – he was excellent!
@mar SF. You are right. I had already surmised John being Paul’s father on the previous site. It will be interesting to see the ‘how, when and where’,…..the plot thickens ?????

DAYS OF OUR LIVES: What Did You Think of the Life-Sized Duke and Ava Scene?
Okurrrr! On Tuesday’s episode of Days of our Lives, the long-running NBC soap opera served up a scene in which Ava (Tamara Braun) wakes up in bed and sees a life-sized Duke doll come to life in the doorway.
If you recall, Ava ripped the small-sized stuffed-animal, Duke to shreds, previously, with a scissor in a fit of rage as she appears to be losing her grip!
Photo: JPI
In this scene, Duke returns with pair of scissors in his hand and says he’s there for payback. Ava screams out. Next, she grabs a nail file to defend herself and tries to run, but Duke grabs her.
What does Ava do next? She bites Duke. He tells her that she’ll pay for that. Next, we see a startled Ava in bed as Rafe (Galen Gering) appears at the doorway with coffee… and wait for it … a bear claw!
As Rafe informs Ava of the accusations against him at work, she asks if he thinks she is engineering this, considering he accused her of dismembering Duke? Rafe says he believes she is not responsible for any of this. Oh, Rafe!
So, what did you think of the scene when you watched it between larger-than-life stuffed-animal-come-to-life Duke and Ava? Share your thoughts in the comment section below.
