Days Of Our Lives
WATCH: Jackée Harry Comes to Days of our Lives Promo
Next week on March 1st look for the arrival of Jackée Harry to NBC’s Days of our Lives.
Harry is coming to the long-running soap in the new role of Paulina, who is connected to the Carver family.
In the newly-released promo heralding her upcoming DAYS debut, the actress shares, “I’ve got three good reasons you should watch me on Days of our Lives … I’m bold … I’m fabulous .. and you know I’m going to stir up trouble. Let’s do this!”
Harry is best known for her roles in the sitcoms 227, Sister, Sister and numerous roles on television and motion pictures.
Watch the NBC promo featuring Jackée below.
What kind of trouble do you think Harry’s Paulina will stir up in Salem? Share your thoughts in the comment section.
Come on Miss Harry! She is fabulous and I can’t wait for her to return to daytime.
I hope it’s as fun as it looks!
I believe I was meant to begin watching Days just so I can experience the tornado that will hit Salem next week in the guise of Jackee.
Welcome back to daytime.
Excited about this news, but… Can DOOL do the viewers a favor and never have Susan Banks onscreen again? Okay, we get it: she’s an eccentric, unusual character. Originally, she was created to showcase the acting talents of Eileen Davidson, giving her a total of five (!) DOOL characters. With Stacey Haiduk playing the role of Kristen and now Susan, I guess it’s a chance to showcase Haiduk’s acting chops.
At this point, I feel that I could play Susan! Just give me the wig and the teeth, and I’ll handle the rest! The thing is, the appearances of Susan do nothing to enhance the storyline or show. She is just an annoying, outlandish (and dare I say, unbelievable) character; it’s difficult to listen to her rantings and manner of speech.
ReRon will never dump the ridiculous doppleganger stories. That was evident enough when he made the idiotic decision that Bonnie Lockhart was more of a legitimate part of Days than Adrienne Johnson Kiriakis.
NO member of the Lockhart family was ever worth a second of airtime… let alone the doppleganger.
As for Susan… I thought she was supposed to be living somewhere in Europe, taking care of her “baby boy Elvis” (who apparently hasn’t fully recovered from being a Rolf-zombie yet). That would be a more plausible existence for her (offscreen, of course) than volunteering to sit in a prison cell while Kristen (whom she used to refer to as “mean mean mean!!” ) runs around Salem getting up in everybody’s business.
Satan, thanks for your reply. You’re right about those “ridiculous doppleganger stories.” I think we’re all getting tired of them. And Adrienne’s death was senseless, especially in lieu of the reemergence of Bonnie. Stay warm, Friend!
Hey, Jamesj! Have to disagree; I love Susan! I just find her hilarious and I think Stacy is doing a great job. Yes, she’s outlandish, but I expect her to be; as is Dr. Rolf. But I find these cray cray characdters/stories fun. Not, of course, if they were the main characters or the main stories…but just the right dose of levity.(As for Rolf, I do enjoy his bringing people back. Wish he crossed over to GH and brought a few characters of theirs back from the supposed dead.)
Having now seen Jackee Harry’s character I can say I can’t stand her. Way too obnoxious for me; way too much emphasis on race right out of the gate. I prefer soaps don’t go there, to covid or anything else that is current and laden with conflict or worry, grief, etc, in real life right now… I LIKE that race hasn’t come up in Salem; how the characters relate and blend as friends, family, etc. I have no desire to have any “conversation” or “teaching moments” on soaps. Curious to see what type of reception she gets from the viewers.
Hello Rebecca1! Long time, no back and forth… In this case (of Susan Banks), we can agree to disagree. But I certainly appreciate hearing from you on this and understand your viewpoint. I don’t go back as far as a lot of DOOL viewers, so I didn’t see firsthand the work of Eileen Davidson in the roles. I also like your idea of Rolf crossing over to GH and providing his “services….”
Regarding Jackee Harry’s character, I largely agree with you. Thus far, the obnoxiousness of her character overwhelms even her humor. And so far her work is reminiscent of other roles Harry has played. But we got the hint the other day that she is not as rich as she claims, so it will be interesting to see where they are going with this. I think that her obnoxiousness is the point. She is so different from the other (often heroic) people of color on the show. And she brings out the different, shall we say, “shades” of Julie’s character.
I totally understand your point about “real life” issues that provide “conflict or worry, grief, etc.” As for social issues, including race relations, I am okay with soaps on occasion turning into an “ABC After School Special.” If done right, soaps are able to deliver a good message and provide some “teachable moments.” Clearly, the issue of gay rights/gay marriage was handled on DOOL via Sonny and Will in major storylines. I’m sure some of the “less enlightened” viewers were endlessly offended. I feel that, with any sensitive issue, it helps when the viewers have an allegiance to the characters involved. The viewers are already invested in (notably) Abe, Lani, and Eli. So any conflict that may arise from Lani’s aunt will be seen through their eyes. I feel that anything that can be done to combat racism, misogyny, homophobia, xenophobia, etc., even with fictional characters on a soap opera, is an effort worth making. I hope the writers of DOOL are again successful in their approach.
Getting back to your larger point of “real-life” suffering, 2020 is thankfully over. Many of us — wink! wink! — are ecstatic over the new tone and direction of our country. I hope things improve exponentially, and I further hope that the division in our country (political, racial, and otherwise) is lessened dramatically.
Best to you, Rebecca, and your loved ones!

If you ever read this comment. I find it harder every day to find a site to make a comment, unless it’s GH, which I love, but there are three other shows too. Just wanted to agree thoroughly with your comments about Susan Banks, which I could tolerate with I.D but S.Hs rendition makes her intolerable and I wish I could just slap her and tell to just shut the hell up, which I do to the TV.A word about Jackee Harry. I think she’s playing the part true to form, gosh a thought. Hope she never gets together with Susan, OMG!
Violet, so glad to see your reply here, which I noticed because this comment is (was) featured on the home page (and with my name at the beginning). Glad you feel as I do regarding Susan Banks. It’s just annoying to see/hear her. Too, too much! In today’s episode, Jackee Harry’s character showed some redemption and was more appealing.
Regarding your question in another thread about someone shooting a corpse a long time ago: I go back to the late 60s in my soap viewing — and I watched a ton of them, but I don’t remember seeing (or reading about) that storyline. I hope someone else can connect the dots for you. Take care, Friend!
Well, the bad news is that Susan will probably be sticking around for the forseeable future…..
Because there was a podcast earlier this week where Thaao Penghlis revealed that his little brother (and Susan’s kid) Elvis is coming back to Salem in recast form!
No reliable info on who has the role yet, but given all the other recasts since ReRon’s been writing the show… I’m expecting the worst.
Thank all that’s unholy that Roger Howarth is still under contract at GH, because otherwise he would be the first person ReRon would call. Even though he’s not tall or British!
Jackee, you go girl!
So now that Kate is going back to the DiMera corporate offices with her latest boy toy, and Abe will need a new Executive Assistant in the Mayor’s office, is that how Paulina ends up in Salem?
Seeing as Abe seems to have a hard time keeping that position filled for the long term, it would make sense that he would go with a “family member”, hoping she might stick around longer. The timing of Kate’s departure can’t be a mere coincidence…. not with ReRon’s formulaic writing!
What a treat!! Jackee is so unique—-no one can walk in her “stylin” shoes. Yes, let this superb talent do her thing. DOOL needs her so badly—liven up the stage —the characters need to lighten up, too.
Aside–forgive me for being a nuisance by intergecting my nonsensical observations—but, is Nadia (Chloe) pregnant?—-what’s with the oversized bags?
I must be seeing things—-Am I imagining Marci’s pregnancy, as well? Need my eyes checked……
Celia, don’t feel bad, a friend and I definitely thought Belle was pregnant a while back. Maybe just her tummy with a too tight dress??
She made me laugh when she mentioned how rich she was. And the expression on Eli’s face after she said it. 🙂
Carrie
Did you see the Christening when Aunt Pauline handed them the blank check for the babies education? I thought Eli was going to run away with it, but Lanie calmed him down and said they’d talk about it.He was so funny.
