‘Heated Rivalry’ Star Franco LoPresti Opens Up About ‘Days of our Lives’ Debut as Dante Vitali
Next week on Monday, September 14 will mark the first appearance in Salem of Franco LoPresti in his new Days of our Lives role of Dante Vitali.
Heated Rivalry fans now LoPresti very well from his part as hockey player Cliff Marleau in the series first season. (No word yet if Cliff appears in season 2).
Now in a conversation with TV Insider, DAYS fans will learn that LoPresti is on the soap for a limited run. No timetable was given.

When LoPresti does burst onto the scene come Monday, Dante makes quite the impact as Franco LoPresti explains. It seems that viewers will first see him in scenes in Monte Carlo at a poker table with none other than Gabi Hernandez (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip Kiriakis (John-Paul Lavoisier). However, Dante will come to Salem to talk to the Brady family about his supposed fiancée Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney).
Franco shared, “Dante was born and grew up in Italy and educated at this pretty top-tier English boarding school. He then went on to build his own dynasty in finance, all the while trying to distance himself from the Vitali name (as viewers know Tamara Braun played his cousin Ava Vitali).”
“But at the core of Dante, there’s definitely an old-school quality to him”, continued LoPresti. “He’s super passionate, he’s sincere and incredibly generous, but he’s also someone that you probably shouldn’t underestimate. Loyalty is something that means a lot to him. As Dante enters Salem, I think the audience will get to slowly peel back those layers and discover what’s really driving him. So, I’m excited for Days fans to go on that ride with Dante.”

As it turns out, LoPresti taped his episodes of DAYS starting back in November 2025 which happened to be weeks before Heated Rivalry became a smash hit.
Franco recalled, “It’s so funny because I thought my episodes would air in a month (on Days of our Lives). But I found out it was nine to 10 months and I was like, ‘I gotta wait that long?!’ So, I’ve been biting my nails, trying not to think about it, and I think it’s actually kind of helped because now it’s here and it’s all coming at me from all different angles. I’m nervous. I’m excited, and I just can’t wait to see it all come together. It’s one of the best jobs I’ve ever had for sure.”
In his personal life, Franco just had his first child with wife, actress Emily Alatalo, just a weeks ago on August 23rd when they welcomed their daughter, Stella into the world.
So, looking forward to seeing Franco LoPresti’s debut come Monday? What do you think about the fact that it’s being reported as a limited run? Do you think Dante and Sami have a chance on-screen or off-screen to be a happy couple? What do you really think brings Dante to Salem sans Sami? Let us know your thoughts via the comment section below.
In a metaphor for the start of the school year and their upcoming anniversary in November, Days of our Lives revealed its “Class of Season 62,” with a very clever yearbook montage on their social media handles, welcoming new cast members, while paying respect to the veterans and “class”-iying the other characters in Salem.
The official Days of our Lives Instagram account shared on the posting, “The Class of Salem Season 62 has arrived. Familiar faces, new names and plenty of personality. Flip through our yearbook for a peek at this year’s class.”
Let’s take a look at how they broke it all down: The Salem Yearbook starts with saying “another unforgettable season,” with some group pics, and then we dovetail into Salem’s new class which features: Sydney Malakeh (Sydney DiMera), Brandon Butler (Mason Whitfield), Angelica Nero (Victoria Kiriakis), Cole Gersmeyer (Thomas DiMera) and Lorelei Olivia Mote (Rachel Black).

Next up, are the likes of: Cherie Jimenez (Gabi Hernandez), John-Paul Lavoisier (Philip Kiriakis), Tyler Joseph Andrews (Theo Carver) and LeeAnn Hopkins (Joy Wesley). Then, in the “Drama Club” section are: Dan Feuerriegel (EJ DiMera) and AnnaLynne Cipriani (Cat Greene).
Following the ‘Recess” section with some group snaps, comes “Homeroom Highlights” with: Abigail Klein (Stephanie Johnson), Eric Martsolf (Brady Black), Rob Scott Wilson (Alex Kiriakis), Lamon Archey (Eli Grant) and Sal Stowers (Lani Price Grant).
The “Salem Spectator” section features: Conner Floyd (Chad DiMera), Greg Rikaart (Leo Stark), Stowers again, and Ashely Puzemis (Holly Jonas). In the “Afternoon Sweets” section look for: Paul Telfer (Xander Kiriakis) and Linsey Godfey (Sarah Horton), Emily O’ Brien (Gwen Rizchech), Stacy Haiduk (Kristen DiMera/Susan Banks), Brandon Beemer (Shawn Brady), plus Jackée Harry (Paulina Price).
Towards the end of the yearbook, veteran performers such as: Mary Beth Evans (Kayla Johnson), Stephen Nichols (Steve Johnson), Lauren Koslow (Kate Roberts) and Josh Taylor (Roman Brady) are featured, plus Deidre Hall (Marlena Evans), James Reynolds (Abe Carver) and Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux), Susan Seaforth Hayes (Julie Williams) and Suzanne Rogers (Maggie Kiraikis) with her on-screen daughter, Linsey Godfrey.
The Salem Yearbook comes to a conclusion noting “Big things happening in Salem” and to tune-in on Peacock, where we also find Jacob Martinez (Javi Hernandez), Maggie Carney (Rita Lesley), and a host of other favorites previewing what’s to come this fall.
So, what do you think of the Days of our Lives Class of Season 62? Looking forward to seeing what happens in Salem? Did you like the yearbook concept for promotional tune-in? Let us know via the comment section below.

‘Days of our Lives’ Head Writers Give Fall 2026 Preview: Marlena and Stefano’s Chess Mystery, The Arrivals of Dante and Sydney, Romance Drama for Sarah and Others
As summer comes to a close with Labor Day weekend, the former Days of our Lives co-head writing duo of Paula Cwikly and Jeanne Marie Ford have given their annual fall season preview in episodes taped some 10-11 months ago.
As previously reported this past July, Ryan Quan returned to Days of our Lives and is now co-head writing the show with Ford, while Cwikly is now a consultant. The new co-head writing teams stories will not be seen till late spring/early summer 2027.
So for now, the stories pick up from where we left off with Cwikly and Ford promising via TV Insider, “Fall in Salem is full of twists and turns and secrets and surprises. Dots connect in unexpected ways as seemingly unrelated threads converge.”

CHECKMATE?
In one of the top mystery’s, Marlena is still having troubling memories and she will have another one on the Monday, September 7 episode. Meanwhile, her daughter Belle (Martha Madison) has gotten very close to Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) and as pictured here, the two smooch while in Italy searching for answers to the chess set that Stefano DiMera gifted th the late John Black and Marlena (Deidre Hall) that has some significance.
The head scribes share, “The (chess board) mystery and its fallout are central to the fall stories. Chad and Belle follow the clues to a discovery that changes both of their families, and Salem, forever. Marlena worries that their investigation/the chess set may be a Pandora’s box that has been opened. And she is right…”
Newcomers are also the order of the day for Cwikly and Ford, this fall. We have already seen the debut as Brandon Butler as Mason Whitfield, and next week you can add as previously reported Sydney Malakeh on the Thursday September 1o episode as Sydney DiMera, followed by the the Monday, September 14 arrival of Franco LoPresti as Dante Vitali.
Photo: Corday Productions
Paula and Jeanne Marie expressed on the incoming Dante, “The arrival of a stranger who will set the whole town on its ear. The character has several strong ties to the current canvas and impacts many storylines.” What will Dante be up to? We know Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney) had mentioned in 2025 she got engaged to the man, but that was off-screen.
LOVE THE ONE YOU’RE WITH OR THE ONE YOU WANT?
In the romance department, the triangle between Brady/Sarah/Xander heats up with a very conflicted Sarah (Linsey Godfrey). The head writers reveal, “When Sarah faces attacks personally and professionally, Xander (Paul Telfer) and Brady (Eric Martsolf) work together to help and protect her. Sarah’s new love for Brady is challenged by her lingering love for Xander. Xander risks everything for Sarah.”
In addition look for, “Gabi (Cherie Jimenez) and Philip (John-Paul Lavoiser) to draw closer as he tries to save the family company and home.”
Kristen (Stacy Haiduk) will also be returning at some point this fall and she won’t be alone. Who might she bring with her? And from the looks of the Peacock promo for next week’s DAYS, someone is wearing Stefano’s ring around their finger, but who … and how does it all tie in this fall?
So, what do you think about some of the highlights coming up this fall on Days of our Lives per the series head writers? Does anything float your boat or pique your interest? If so, what? Let us know via the comment section. But first, check out the action next week on DAYS in the promo entitled “Bag of Tricks” below.

voted daniel he is an amazing doctor
No offense, but Days is not what is used to be or could be. So many actors/characters who are on now stink. Below is my Days wish list.:)
1. Actors I want to return?
Don Craig(played by Jed Allan.)
Mike Horton(played by Micheal T. Weis.)
Bill Horton
Roman(played by Wayne Northrop.)
make Josh Taylor Chris Kositchek again
Steve Johnson
Shane Donovan
2. Actress I want to return?
Marlena Evans
Liz Curtis
Melissa Horton
Jennifer Horton
Kayla Johnson
Kim Donovan
Center the show around the Hortons. End the Dimera crap. Let EJ, Kate, Chole, Nicole, Brady, go. Bring on Victor Webster as Nicolas Alamain. Get Bo and Hope back together. Bring back Blondes and Shenanigans. Bring on Nicolas Coster as Justin’s long lost dad and get him together with Louise Sorel ( Vivian). Add family, social storylines, love and humor Please LOL!!!!! Oh yes and have Hope find out that Julie is her Mother. Not even Doug knew. Only Alice, Adie and Alice knew. That would be a great storyline.
.
Yes, please and thank you – other than Julie being Hope’s mother. That would destroy the memory of Addie, and the Horton legacy is already sorely missing from this show.
Bring back Bill (the guy who played him for Alice’s funeral was a good casting choice), get anyone other than Jamie for Laura; there is also Tommy, Sandy, Julie’s brother Steven; the list of missing Horton’s goes on and on.
Bring back Liz! Gloria Loring is a wonderful actress and this 45-year viewer misses her on the show.
I have been watching this show since I was little in the early 70’s(Yes I am showing my age lol.) The show was centered around the Hortons. It was so beautifully written. It was about family, social storylines, love, romance and it had humor.
The show is a shell of what it used to be. There are so many actors who are on it now who stink. Their characters have no soul. It is also hard to see Kayla, Justin and Adrienne wasted. It has become a show about blackmail, secrets, paternity test Oh ya and the Dimeras.
The only bright light is Maggie and Victor. They are sweet and cute together.
When Alice was dying and the family came back to say their goodbyes it was so meaningful, heartwarming and so sad. It was the well written, acted and meaningful show that I grew up watching.
HRMitchell so nice to see someone who remembers Days the way I do and who knows what a glorious show it once was. It is also great to see someone who remembers Julie’s brother(played by Stephen Schnetzer .) Do you remember when Marlena and Don’s son DJ died of crib death? I was little when I saw it.I remember it so well. I saw again on Youtube. Still Heartbreaking.
This clip represents how wonderful Days once was and could be again.

You may have to copy that link to your browser.
If Days was produced the way it was 30 years ago the ratings would be amazing.
All the soaps have forgotten about their history. They all need to get back to basics, great writing, and hire actors and actresses who can act not just those who look good.
Actually this soap is about the Horton granted (i also want more Horton to come back) but ONE family doesn’t make this show. There are THREE powerful families since years who have built this show. They are the Horton of course but also the Brady and the Dimera and let’s not forget the Kiriakis which are important also in their own way. So we can have the Horton and the Dimera, we can have a show about family, social storylines, romance AND drama, blackmails, secrets in order to give conflicts, to be exiting and entertaining…sorry i don’t want to watch “the little house in the prairie”, i don’t want to be bored otherwise i stop watching so i want all the package with above all character driven storylines..and that it is up to the writers who right now are quite incompetent IMO.
I am not saying the show should be Little House LOL!!! I am also not saying the Horton’s should be the only family. The show was created with the Hortons, something Mr. Corday and the writers have forgotten.
The show has lost its heart. Yes blackmail is interesting to a degree, but that is all the show has become. There is no humor, no romance that make you want to watch and tape, so you don’t miss it. Heaven forbid two characters have a conversation about something other than a secret, a man, blackmail, or who’s the daddy LMAO!!!!
I want character driven storylines too, but with characters who are complex, interesting, and acted by actors who can actually act. Who are not Ken and Barbie.
Mr. Corday needs to get a clue. He brings back Justin and Adrienne only to waste them. They have such an amazing history with the show. Heaven forbid the writers explore it. They bring back Kayla only long enough because of Stephanie’s crap. Changing paternity, oh that’s original LOL!!!! Then they give us a taste of Shane and Kim. Those few days with them ( no pun intended) where great.
If the show got back to good old fashioned storytelling that was more than blackmail and secrets with complex characters and amaing actors they would get millions of viewers back who have long given up on the show, and the ratings would be amazing!!!!!!
Let’s start by bringing back Liz Curtis, and Marlena Please!!!!!!:)
.
James Scott overall Actor…He is the most talented soap actor to come along in a long time and he is just so good looking.
Renee Jones performance as doctor…Always loved Lexie.
Joe Mascolo as veteran actor……this one was hard because I love John Aniston and Suzanne Rogers too.
I agree with you on all categories…but it is a tossup for me between Joe and John cuz I just love Victor’s dry wit!!!
But yes, hands down….James Scott is the best actor to EVER be on daytime television..in all of my 40 years of watching! 🙂
Damn we share the same perfect taste in Days actors!!
James scott 100% Agree with you
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Victor
I disagree w/Sally, I probably wouldn’t be watching the show if it centered around the Hortons. I like that it’s a lot Darker than it used to be.
The Dimera’s are a very talented family LOL. James Scott, Joe Mascolo and Renee Jones are all exceptional actors, some of the best on the show and I never tire of watching them. John Aniston would have been my second choice for veteran actor
Yes, the actors are exceptional, but EJ is a character that should not even be as old as Will. SORASing a character taht much breaks any connection long-time viewers have, and in the end, it is long-time viewers that keeps a show on the air.
This is one 45-year viewer that has stopped recording it, and if I happen to miss it, oh, well – nothing much lost.
Oh please he is certainly not the only who has mess up sorasing, if you know the show’s history you know that Mike Horton, yeah a HORTON has been sorased, desorased i can’t even number how many times but Mike was a great character nonetheless like Ej Dimera is a great character that a talented actor succeed to make a flesh out, dynamic no matter the sorasing..i can name some other characters who had not been hurt by a sorasing but who are pretty dull and played by some bad actors..so i prefer by far the great character played by a charismatic, great actor who has been sorades.
I have been watching 25 years. Was watching when Philliip was born (went from 4 to 15) as well as EJ and others who have been sorased over the years. At least Ej was gone a long time before they brought him back unlike Phillip and others. Thanks to JS acting I don’t feel any connection was broken. Sorasing can be annoying but IMO there are worse things, like bad acting and poor, drawn out or repeat SL. I for one am glad they sorased Ej cuz if not I wouldn’t be able to enjoy the amazing Ejami chemistry that has kept me watching the last 4 years.
James Scott overall Actor!He is the best days had
i love james scott! i love ej dimera:)
1)EJ
2)Lexie
3)Stefano
james was and remains the best thing I’ve seen in this series from the day she started
1. Ej
2. Lexie
3. Stefano
I’ve always loved Lexie and her ability to stand up to her father and love him at the same time. James Scott is an amazing actor and one of the reason I watch Days religiously. And Stefano. . .no words needed.
1) James Scott – no contest
2)Mark Hapka – love the Dr Horton
3)John Aniston – best snark ever – 2nd – Joe Mascolo
There are a number of very talented actors on Days, but James Scott rises far above the rest. The passion and effort that he puts into his acting has been evident in every scene since he started on this show in 2006. James has the very special ability to convey an unspoken message in a scene that requires no dialogue. He is truly an asset and Days is very lucky to have him.
James wins hands down!
Best Actor: JAMES SCOTT (EJ DIMERA)
Favorite Doctor: Mark H. (Nathan Horton)
Favorite Vet: Joe M. (Stefano DiMera) [with John A./Victor Kiriakis very close behind! Very close 2nd!]
I have to agree with your choices of Joe and John – they both do so much with the very little they are given to work with.
James performances overshadowing !James knocked it out of the park!
i love Lexie And Stefano
james amazing actor.I really think he deserves emmy.What was All My Children thinking when they let him go?
Go ej.
The pic of EJ and Sydney is too cute.
I never thought of Shawn christian as a hottie. JAMES SCOTT IS MY HOTTIE.
I voted for all the DiMeras!! They are what makes this show dynamic and compelling to watch. James Scott as Ej is the most talented actor in my opinion he puts in his heart and soul into his character. Lexie Carver as the doctor and Stefano as the veteran. The DiMeras these days are the most entertaining on this show.
James scott is overall actor the best days ever have! period!! James performance is makes he’s character believable, just amazing.
James Scott is the best actor!!
So great to see Vic w/ a real story and not just the grumpy old man junk they gave him for way to long!
James Scott is #1!!!! There is no competition.
James scott- He is the best actor on the show,very complex and appealing.
Lexi- I love Lexi, she is the best doctor, she just needs a good story.
Stefano- He is amazing, veteran all over, I love the dimeras.
1. James Scott
2. Renee Jones
3. Joe Mascolo
It’s been so good seeing Renee Jones off the shelf and back on my TV screen fairly regularly. That woman needs her own storyline. James Scott and Joe Mascolo are both fantastic (which goes without saying, in my humble opinion). A trifecta of amazing talent. 🙂
James Scott is the best actor on Days. His performances are always top notch. He makes you want to watch a certain scene over and over. I watch DAYS because of James and the Dimeras. Give us EJAMI battling Stefano and Kate and that will be emmy worthy.
James Scott’s EJ and Matthew Ashford’s Jack are the two best characters “Days” has ever seen, in my opinion. I believe that in both cases, the actors gave those roles much more than was originally intended, and the characters became huge thanks to brilliant performances. I would be very happy to see Matthew Ashford back opposite Melissa Reeves again, by the way.
yes Matt Ashford was great too…but still think James Scott is the best by far…until James, i”d have to say Matt was my fav!
I totally agree with you, Ej and Jack played by Scott and Ashford are some of the best characters this show had thanks above all to their performers. Complex, multi-layered, played with lot’s of subtext..can be bad and good, between antihero and villain (well the early years for Jack/Matt after that they quite mess up the character but Asford managed to still make Jack enjoyable above all because of his acting talent charisma and great comedic timing). However Jack was much better written than Ej because the writing was talented in early 90’s..but Scott thanks to his talent manages to make his character complex and captivating..imagine if Scott would have played a character on this show in 90’s..it would have been..just delicious..but right now at least we have him playing all the right notes and subtlety even with this crap writing and for that kudos James Scott..you can be a star outside of Daytime you have the talent.

Galen Gering
Alison Sweeney
Eric Martsolf
These are the ppl who I feel have ,without question, really “brought it” with some amazing performances!! Love them!!
Really Galen Gering OMG !! He’s ok but not best actor. sorry
Yes, Really. Let me restate it incase it wasnt clear…
I think Galen Gering is phenomenal!!
Im certainly entitled to my opinion and entitled to support him here or anywhere else I choose to for that matter! I didnt comment about any one elses choice!!
Yes…I think Galen Gering is the best actor on Days…
i would love to see james scott and alison sweeney get back together again. the galen thing is too old fashioned. sami is a bad girl in need of a bad boy like ej
Yes, you are I said sorry and that’s your opinion. For me James scott is the BEST actor on days my opinion.
KenseysMom
Love your choice of Galen especially after those emotional hospital scenes with Lindsay. Wow!!!
Peter always pulls me into his character and Eric has delivered with his dark Brady turn. Great men delivering fabulous performances!
I love Galen, too. He delivers on those very emotional scenes, the comedic banter, and the romantic leading man role. I only wish he were on much more than he is now.
More than he now ? fact and you can check it, the best demo of days of our lives was when galen rafe was not there! But each opinion ,galen good actor not great and I’m sure I would not give him a prize! people dont care abaut him!
I agree with you, Waverly, and KenseysMom. I love Galen, too. I have really enjoyed his performances. He was definitely outstanding in the hospital scenes after Arianna’s accident and in today’s show during her memorial service.
To each his own i think Gering is the weakest actor on this show.
All his emotional scenes did no anything for me..actually it was quite laughable (and i am an actress..) He also lacks of screen-presence and chemistry with his acting partners..it is lame and pretty weak..but good for him if he has his fans, even the worst of us have to be liked..lol..his “acting” we call that “hair model acting”..the guy should give his place to someone who can act and has presence..ah well anyway in every soaps you have bad and dull actors..it is for this reason that lot’s of people make fun of this genre..so i guess Gering has his place as a bad soap actor..lol
oups i meant the emotional scenes did do nothing to me, niet nada just some laughs of mockery..it was pretty bad..
agree with your synopsis of gering. he is ok but the chemistry of sweeney and scott is what keeps me watching.
James Scott without a doubt!! Favorite doctor, Lexie 1st, then Nathan, Veteran, I voted Victor but Stefano is a very close 2nd. John Aniston has had better lines lately.
A DiMera sweep from me
James Scott
Renee Jones
Joe Mascolo
My votes go to Galen Gering, my favorite actor and character on Days, Crystal Chappell, and John Aniston.
Chappell and Aniston ok they are good actors but Gering seriously ?! Lol hey everybody likes who they likes but ..seriously you has to be a passion fan..otherwise..lol Ok i kid..Gering is pretty bad but it is your choice..why not..it is just your choice..not a acting teacher’s choice or a casting director’s choice or an academy choice thankfully ! lol
Best Overall Perfomer – JAMES SCOTT!!! He is just amazing and hott!
Favorite Veteran Performer – JOE MASCOLO! Love the Dimera men!!!
Favorite Doctor – DANIEL! He is the lifesaver of Salem! He saved more lives in the past 2 years than all the other doctors combined. Bo, Victor, Philip, Theo, Kate, Chloe, Melanie, EJ, Stefano and he was there to help Stephanie and Maggie…. Without him half the characters would be dead. Lol!
James Scott by far is the best actor Days has had on the screen in a long time! He takes me to Salem and I see and feel what EJ is going through because of his unrequited love for Samantha Brady. He now is a father first and foremost and wants to be with his children. Sami Brady is being horrible keeping him from them. I think Lexie is a wonderful, caring doctor. Joe Mascolo is my favorite veteran actor. As far as I’m concerned, it’s a DiMera Day!
Best actor without a doubt is James Scott. He is definitely one of the best the show has.
Thanks for the polls, Michael. Galen Gering gets my vote in any catagory he is in.
I also love John Anniston and Joe Mascolo.
James Scott all the way! He’s tall, dark and handsome, charming and naughty but nice! Shawn Christian as Dr. Jonas is my favorite doctor – he’s an awesome surgeon with wonderful bedside manner. I love John Aniston as Victor with all his snarky comments! Go Days! Get back to #1 in ratings!
Dany & Marcy ….well just woke up and forgot I had checked that lovely little box to continue receiving replies to this thing!! What a way to wake up. What on EARTH is wrong with you people?? Honestly. Bad home lives? Hate your job?? What is it that makes all of you EJAMI fans so vile? The folks that you are berating,after their comments of support for GALEN GERING, made NO refrence to their distaste for James Scott or the zillion reasons why we dont like HIM!! Why the need to continuously do that in regards to Galen? I dont think children are allowed to post here, right Michael? So lets not behave like them.
I will leave this by saying first…Michael Im sorry to keep this sillyness going but its so darn hard to see the continued bashing of Galen and anyone that supports him. To the EJAMI clan? Good for you. Glad you support yer guy. Bet he appreciates it. I for one cannot watch him on screen. LOOOONG before there was a “Rafe” on the show..I couldnt. NO Im not a passions fan. In fact Ive never watched a soap EVER till I caught Galen and Ali during the Safehouse scenes….been glued ever since. My opinion. My choice. Please Please…stop the bashing. No one CARES about your obsession with JS. I realize you are passionate about him for whatever reason…but they are YOUR reasons and not shared by the universe *gasp*
Thanks and yes…I remembered to make sure I WONT be receiving anymore replies to this thingy!!
Michael, Bless your heart, Thanks for having this…..poll…and tell our Galen he may not have won..but his fans love him 🙂
Firstly, not all James Scott fans are EJAMIs and not all have obsessions, unlike the 5 Galen fans.
All of you that think James Scott is a better actor than Galen Gering have your own opinion but those of us that think otherwise should have respect. This is a public poll you know. Those of you that mock Galen don’t have any right to, he’s just as good as, if not better than James Scott.
crystal chappell is a fine woman and great actor. her amazing webseries, venice, should not be missed. she is so very creative.
