I like KDP, but what about giving Kayla or Adrienne more storyline than bringing in another actress in the same age group? I didn't include Hope because it seems like she's finally on her way.
I think, they need more grey/black characters and Kayla and Adrienne are heroines and TPTB don't know how to write interesting s/l for this type of characters (re: Jenniffer who gets a lot of screentime).

Whatever the news is, Eileen seems excited about it. Maybe she inked some sort of deal to play Kristen on Y&R. They're both Sony shows so it's not out of the realm of possibility. Perhaps Kristen flees to Genoa City where she hopes to escape her past, runs into Ashley, realizes she looks just like her and decides to take over her life to get a new start. It would suck for us because Kristen belongs in Salem, but I can see where Eileen would be excited to play her two most iconic characters on the show that pays more and has a more relaxed taping schedule. It would be the best of both worlds for her.
Personally I can't see any soap wanting to have a crossover character after the ABC/Prospect Park clusterfuck over the GH/OLTL crossovers. Can't see any network touching crossovers with a ten foot pole after that mess.

Speaking of One Life, hope the rumors about Kassie dePaiva are true. I was very impressed with the brief scenes I saw of her on General Hospital.

I'd love to se DePaiva show up on DAYS as Jordan's mom. Or even Sheryl's mom. Both are from the south.

I loved her on OLTL. Now I am a huge Kayla fan and wish the show would use her more (or Adrienne or even Hope). But I agree that this part may be required for someone who is not a Salem resident and my guess is it will somehow tie into Jordan since she's the huge question mark. But you can't dive into her past with JUST Jordan and Sheryl, nobody else in Salem knew her.

I would be curious to see her play a different kind of character than Blair, my guess is it will be a similar role. We need another veteran actress making trouble now that Kristen is gone.

WOOOHOOO... Don't know who she will be, but I like this. KDP is a great actress and I adored her as Blair on OLTL!

I agree completely. I want Kayla, Adrienne, Marlena, Hope, etc. to get stories and have more to do, but I also don't think TPTB really know what to do with some of them (Kayla, Adrienne) and others (Hope) are starting new stories. I don't think hiring someone else prevents TPTB from not using people that are currently around or recurring.

Like Matt said this is probably a role that a current cast member cannot fill. Jordan's mom, new guy Ben's mom, etc.

Nah. She has no reason to ever be thought of again really. When is the last time she was even mentioned?

I know, just wishful thinking on my part. Anything to get him out of Nicole and Jennifer's orbit. I'd even root for him and Sami, if I wasn't desperately hoping for a Lumi reunion before Ali leaves.

I love how KDP's name has been the most often stated one in Jason's latest tease thread & now people are "hearing rumors" that she's joining the show. At least Chrishell's tweet has told us that, if she is joining the show, the cast doesn't know & she hasn't shot any scenes yet. Thus, even if she does join the cast, she probably won't be seen until the summer.

I think its safe to say that Michael Logan knows what he's talking about and he isn't just hearing whispers from the internet. He said its "official." I don't think he would have bothered to mention a rumor.

He said "I'm hearing it's official". He hasn't posted an article on it, and no one else seems to have heard it's official. I'm not saying it's just a rumor, but imo this is also different than a confirmation.

Yeah, if they wanted to use them, they'd use them. But honestly, it does temper my excitement around new characters in the same age range, when there is big buzz around actors from other soaps and they have such great talent and characters just wasting away. I don't let them off the hook for not knowing how to write heroines. Other shows do it.

It's not even about getting a story anymore, it's being recognized as characters, period, with history in Salem. How many times has Kayla had a doctor scene with relatives where they didn't acknowledge the family tie? How do you cast the son of Kayla Brady and Steve Johnson and never even have him have a scene where he is acknowledged by name? It just boggles the mind.

We are on the same page here. I want them to realize what they have and try to utilize it, but like you said it would have probably been done by now if they wanted to do it.

Yeah like I said, official. He wouldn't say that if it was a rumor. Has Logan ever acknowledged a rumor? He has more inside sources than anyone else in the soap business. He would look like a fool for tweeting it without being 100%.

I do agree its not confirmation yet and an article is probably on the way. He likely reached out to the show and Kassie for comment, but judging by Chrishell's tweet she hasn't even started filming yet so you know Days isn't going to want to confirm this so early.

DONE DEAL? I'm hearing it's OFFICIAL! @KassieDePaiva @nbcdays @DaysofourLives #DOOL #Days #daysofourlives
https://twitter.com/TVGMLogan/status/426126461213216768
Wow! This is turning into a big news week for Days, isn't it?

We Love Soaps also posted an article about this: http://www.welovesoaps.net/2014/01/kassie-depaiva-joins-days-of-our-lives.html
I can see this happening....she'll be the new leading lady...she has the name and the acting chops to pull it off...not to mention the fan following....this is good for the show IMHO...

With AS leaving they needed someone of her caliber to fill the void...I think this is as good as it's going to get now...
