Young’s portrayal of the teenage Kinsey, many times was comic relief for the younger set in Salem. No word what precipitates Kinsey’s departure from Salem yet.

Many may also know that Shelby Young appeared in last year’s smash motion picture, The Social Network!

This isn’t remotely shocking given where we know Days is going starting in September. I don’t see her purpose, never have. Perfectly nice girl, I’m sure, but I ff’d thru the four whole scenes she was ever in.

Well, if they go forward with Will/Sonny past Sept, they need friends to add to the story. She was one of Will/Gabbi’s group. Ironic this comes out the day Kinsey befriends Sonny onscreen and we’ve been seeing just a bit more of her lately. Can’t imagine they would save much money here.

Best of luck to the actress.

Well I’m disappointed, I always found her refreshing and funny and wished they’d do more with her. I really wanted her to have some connection with Nicole, like maybe a baby she gave up as a teen or something like that. I wish her luck on everything she does and hope this door closing means a window is opening to bigger and better things for her.

Just when her role is heating up! I hope she has something much better to go to…. Days wasn’t using her talents as much as they should have.She was starting to be a real support for the ladies as they fall. IE. Nicole, Chloe.

Too bad. Actually liked Kinsey. A little self absorbed and clueless at times but at least she wasn’t as boring as some of the other teens.

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.
