Look for lots of drama ahead when this week when two of Days of our Lives, hottest young stars, Casey Deidrick (Chad) and Camila Banus (Gabi) are picked to be the new faces of Countess Wilhelmina Cosmetics and their steamy ad campaign will make them an international phenomenon!

However, this sparks Gabi to want more of Chad! How much more? Well in a new interview with TV Guide, both Camila and Casey preview the next beats in the storyline which has a twisty triangle in store between Gabi/Chad/Melanie! Here are a few excerpts!

Camila on if Gabi is on the rebound from the disaster of a relationship with Will Horton: “She’s totally on the rebound! There was nothing going on with Will — not even a little bit of kissing — so when Casey saved Gabi in the kidnapping, which is what she thinks happened, she looks at him as her hero. She sees how cute he is, and she thinks there’s something there. Plus, now they’re doing all these sexy modeling shoots wearing God knows what. [Laughs] Or, rather, not wearing God knows what. She wants him.” Casey: “Which makes sense. [Laughs] Chad’s the only straight young male in Salem these days! What other choice does she have? My character has three girls after him right now. Oh, actually four. I’ve been shooting scenes with Lisa Rinna [Billie] and she wants Chad, too! She’s totally after him! And he’s weighing his options. [Laughs] But, hey, for my character this is just another day at the office.”

Casey on how the Gabi/Chad/Melanie triangle will come to pass and then explode come this spring!
“A lot of soaps do the triangle thing, but this is being really well written and we’re having a blast. I can’t wait for everyone to see it. [Laughs] There will be blood! Gabi will get very manipulative. To be honest, I think she’ll go a little psycho. I don’t want to be mean. Just being honest.” Camila: “Hey, going a little psycho never hurt anybody.”

So will this be a case of fatal attraction? If so, Melanie better watch out, given that we have seen Banus play man-crazy when she went off the rails as One Life to Live’s Lola Montez!

Oh please…Billie is old enough to be Chad’s Grandma. This is just another rip-off of Ejami when they modeled for Kate back in the day as far as the modeling goes. If I wanted to watch re-runs of Days, I would watch the older Days of the past.

It is a shame that Chad is the only straight young male in Salem these days, because it’s very clear that the only two gay young males in Salem want him!!

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.
