So, what do you think about how NATAS has chosen to give out this year’s gold statuettes? Looking forward to the ceremonies? Comment below.
Eve Donovan first appeared in Salem 26.5 years ago, and has been off the canvas for 22.5 years. So, slight math fail there, Kassie. 😉
Thrilled to see the character returning, though, and Kassie will be fabulous in the role. 🙂
Really? Let’s scrutinize and be technical! Do not watch the show however couldn’t let this pettiness go without a response!
Feel better now, dear? :p
Some people just get off on correcting others.
Yeah, you’re right because I remember I stopped watching around 1991 (after watching for a good 15 years) because the story lines were becoming so bad on that show. Eve’s was one of the worst.
I like that Kassie says Blair is just “on hold.” 🙂
Hoping Eve turns out to be Jordans momma(4got who suggested that)…also hope Tad is Eve’s son she put up for adoption…and i want Liam to turn out to be the long lost daddy of Tad…i want Frankie Brady to be Jordans daddy…I want Aiden to be Jordans abusive husband Jordan is running from…it is revealed Sheryl had an affair with Aiden…Aidens son Chase is Jordans son she left behind….instant connection for all these newbies!!!
I am pumped. I am new to DOOL and Salem, moving there from Llanview and Oakdale when those legacy soaps were cancelled. I enjoy Kassie dePaiva and know she will do well as Eve.
Isn’t she off on how long the character has been off screen ?? I’m no days watcher but 27years I don’t think so..
I’m loving this casting. I assume this was to help fill the void left by Allison Sweeney (Sami). I am actually excited about this and I think they should put her with Daniel.
Please, anyone else but Jennifer should be with Daniel. I am so tired of Dannifer! Same scene over and over again! I had actually wanted Jordan to be with Daniel. Could care less about Kate digging into Jordan’s past.
Loved the character of Blair & Kassie and I love Days of Our Lives sounds like a great match!
Totally AGREE 🙂
She will be fine in the role, she was excellent as Blair on ONE LIFE. Since there is a very slim chance that One Life to Live with ever see the light of day again, can’t blame her for moving on. Many fans of OLTL and AMC have crossed over to NBC to watch Days of our Lives much to the chagrin of the brainiacs that work at ABC-TV. ABC used to rule the afternoon daytime slots but they blew it big time with their catastrophic error in cancelling both AMC and One Life. So, if part of the reason… Read more »
Love KDP and will watch her on Days until ABC brings back One Life to Live!
Get over it, one life to live is over. abc will never bring back one life to live. lol.
Love this casting myself, and Jordan as her daughter could be interesting… I wonder how long of a contract she has with DAYS? Also what will happen if in fact OLTL returns??? I seriously hope she is successful at DAYS because I have to say DAYS is my favorite soap right now! Kudos to DAYS for this amazing casting!
Who cares how long ago Eve was in Salem? She is back now and being portrayed by the fabulously talented and gorgeous Kassie DePaiva. Wishing you the best of luck in your new gig and looking forward to watching you make this character your own! Knock ’em dead!!
Best of luck Kassie! Will be fun to watch you! Shake up Salem! 🙂
Love KDP! Welcome to Salem. Can’t wait for Eve’s return. Kassie will be awesome as always!
“I love her enthusiasm”
it’s infectious… what is going on, in Salem… for the past 2 years…. and it’s rolling … steam and ALL !!!!!
DAYS deserves to win Best Serial, this year at the Emmys
You are SOOOO right Patrick.
DAYS deserves another Emmy win for Drama…And trust me, Kassie is going to “burn down the house”…Just like YnR and GH are doing, DOOL needs to bloat their cast with uber popular daytime actor, and the ratings will soar.
I agree.
I think Kassie will be GREAT! She is a talented actress and e-z to love. Did I say talented? Please everyone–give Kassie a chance in this re-cast, back on screen role and she will NOT disappoint. Promise.
kassie you are a wonderful actress, I know you will be great as eve donovan. best of luck to you. loved you as blair, on one life to live. mia korf originated blair kramer, kassie was the recast, and she won our hearts. the rest is history. Now we need her husband, james depaiva to play bo brady. he would make a terrific bo brady.
I’m new to Days and could not be happier that Kassie is joining…..
Switching to Days just for Kassie. I hope they write her some fabulous stories.
Love it! Awesome for Kassie but a loss to the NYC area. Lucky I met her at Loving Llanview. She is a very charismatic person and with DAYS losing Alison Sweeney, she will be a welcome presence. Still missiing OLTL, but with Kassie on DAYS and Kristen on GH, will be a great consolation! Go Kassie!
This is just great news all around. I love KdP as Blair – one of the best, most natural actors in daytime IMO. And now she’s going to be on the BEST of the remaining shows.
I started with DOOL when we lost OLTL and AMC online and my only regret is not starting sooner. It’s really good, and having KdP there just makes it all that much more enjoyable for me.
Thanks, DOOL!
She’s too old. I just can’t see her as Eve. I don’t know what Days is thinking, except maybe her fans will come.
Eve was in her twenties when she left Salem and that was almost 25 yrs ago. Eve would be in her late forties by now.
Why doesn’t some soap on the west coast beg Erika Slezak to join their cast?
Now days needs to find a home for Erika Slezak she is one of the best hello 6 emmys
