I think KDP is a great actress ( I am a major T&B fan), but I think she's miscast as Eve. I think this is a similar situation to Maura West's on Y&R as Diane. Talented actress, wrong role. I think if they wanted a recast for Eve since CR was unavailable, Gina Tognoni (GL, OLTL) would have been better, imo. They could have made KDP's character related to Jordan or something. I wish KDP luck though.

As for CR's tweet, I don't think she had any petty intentions. She congratulated Kassie in a tweet already, so I doubt Charlotte was being spiteful with her following tweets or didn't mean for her tweets to be seen that way. JMO.

What's funny to me is that you never hear fans saying how much they want John and Marlena broken up, or for Kristen to destroy them, yet that's what happens.

But fans have said over and over that they despise Daniel and Jennifer, wanting them with others, and you just know TPTB don't care.

Deaf ears to what fans want. They destroy popular couples who the audience wants together, and push couples the audience doesn't.

ITA about the miscast. As I've said I don't mind the recast where CR was unavailable. I didn't watch MW on Y&R, but the same thing seems to happen to big name soap actresses that get transplamnted. Not all the time, mind, but I remember hearing similar things when Genie Francis was on Y&R, and how people were annoyed by the One Lifeers on GH (which is many ways a very different story, of course). KDP is a capable actress, but I'm not convinced this role will fit her, no matter her talents. Hopefully us naysayers will be proven wrong.

Charlotte Ross þ@charlotteross 4h
#FlashBackFriday My 2nd #Emmy Nom for #EveDonovan. What a FUN 4 years I had on #DOOL I’ll be back one day ;) #FBF pic.twitter.com/9yRAx0AQll

I find it very interesting that she says that she will be back one day with a winky face. Is this recast just temporary perhaps?

There's a reason that Charlotte was so convincing as Eve...she's as narcissistic as the character she played. In her first tweet yesterday, she let everyone know that she was their first choice and that Kassie only got the part because she was unavailable. This second tweet is more of the same...look at me, pay attention to me, don't forget that I own the part and will be back to reclaim it one day! Yeah, whatever...
I loved her as Eve. But I don't think she was very well liked by the cast :)

I certainly don't mind an Eve return, especially since Sami is on the way out and the show will need antagonists that can be rootable in certain circumstances. I'll give KDP a chance, though I don't really see her as a good fit for Eve.

However, the ominous thing here is that Eve will come back and fall in love with Daniel, which given the character's history with Jack makes my skin crawl. The show should be firing on all cylinders, but there's still the cylinder clogged up with Daniel and Dannifer. The idea of Eve propping, being in love with ...or even liking Daniel is just not right.

KD is way too common-looking for this role. She won't be able to bring the princess bitchness Charlotte Ross brought to the role. I know it's been a long time since we saw the character, but I can't help but feel they're going to try to write the character around KD, which would be a HUGE MISTAKE.

In other news, here's a video of CR arriving to a pre-Grammy party yesterday. She looks AMAZING. Her botox seems to have settled down and she can move her face again. I really wish her schedule allowed her to return to the role.

I love KDP (her & RH's Todd were such a fun, crazy couple on OLTL) & I'm excited to see her on Days, but like a lot of you, I'm not feelin her as Eve. I will give her a chance though since she's such a good actress. I just hope she isn't completely wasted on Daniel.

I am still shocked that they wanted Eve back. The deal fell through obviously, and DAYS was forced to recast. They must have had enough reason to believe that Ross WAS going to return to plan the story out, where they had to recast. Forced to recast, you choose an actress that you know, you have worked with, and who has a following. I don't picture it working. But, there are so many people who weren't watching when Eve was on, so it may not be a problem for most.

Its an obvious choice from a story perspective. They seem to like for Jennifer to have enemies and Theresa has been Eve-lite in that respect, even calling her Jenny. Giving Theresa family and more fodder to Dannifer is a given, fortunately or unfortunately. Plus, with an obvious musical connection, Eve could sweep in on JJ, have a connection to this "Ben" character, who is supposedly going to court Abigail. And if she's suddenly been livuing in the south for several year, connections to Birmingham must not be out of the question.

Is it possible they choose KDP for her singing ability? Wasn't the Eve character a singer?

I don't mean to imply that they didn't pick her for her acting ability lol, I KNOW she can act. ;)

Kassie's a terrible singer, IMO. I always cringed when they had her do it on OLTL.

I love KdP so I'm willing to see where this goes, but I cannot stomach the thought of her getting bogged down in another Dannifer propfest.

That said, it gives me life to think of Jennifer Rose Horton sparring with Eve Donovan again. Just the thought of it HAS to be bringing Melissa Reeves back to life, if we take a look at any of her recent scenes with MSL as an example. If Anne Milbauer thinks she and Jennifer have a contentious relationship, she ain't seen nothin' yet.

The thing that gives me a pit in my stomach is the idea there'd be Dannifer involved. There's enough Eve/Jennifer/Theresa fodder here to keep Saint Skeevy out of things, and I really hope they do.

(It really is a shame about Charlotte Ross not working out. My guess is she thought she was negotiating for the budgetary days of yore and overshot what DAYS could actually afford.)

Anyone have any clips they can post so people can see some of her better work?

I wonder why the Donovan family is the one they're beefing up. I'm all for it if CS is involved, though I am not a Patsy Pease fan. How about the Black family? Belle?
It's all about Jeanie Theresa, also a character whose age is screwed up.

And the recast is terrible, but again this is a show that cast Josh Taylor as Roman Brady. Nuff said.

Maybe they're going for a Theresa / Brady / Eve triangle.

Kassie a fabulous actress,but the tiny age difference between her and Charlie makes her as Eve not believable.
Maybe for some of the audience but this show paired Brady (born in 92) with Kristen.

THIS!!!

Now I very much enjoy Marlena more snarky and combative. That part of her character died, due to bad writing, when she was with John. She did put Stefano into a semi coma that paralyzed him, but the fallout from that was neatly brushed aside. That was one of the things Marlena would have done years past, and now we have this character animate again without John. The problem is, we are not seeing her enough, and there are no signs yet that she and Drake will share any scenes when he does return. I am afraid if they do, the writers will ship them away to Europe after a one episode "Forgive Me Marlena" special, and we will hear about where they are via postcard.

If "Days" Does That and Brings On More Daniffer Angst For The Selfish Intentions Of TPTB (From Producers all the way down to writers), I May Be DONE.

I have watched this show without Hope and Marlena being on screen. I have even put up with years of them wasting Susan Hayes, until recently.

The point is, if they expect us to embrace Kassie as Eve, and make her the new Sami, while missing legacy characters that have a place on screen like Carrie, Belle, Stephanie, and I could go on, it would infuriate me.

Point: Martha Madison and Christie Clarke can act rings around Sweeney IF given material and airtime, so do not switch the entire feel and direction of the show. To keep the show together, and the Brady/Dimera controversy going on, they have to cast one of Marlena's kids, and keep Stefano's and "Days" Queen on canvas and vital.

IF they STUPIDLY re-align the show to make it centered around Jennifer and forget everyone else, what do the Dimeras do? What do the Brady's do? Also, I love the Horton's most of all, but does it feel right to have Jennifer the center? NO! Melissa is not what she once was and cannot carry a bucket of water, much less this show! The same goes for Eve and Kassie for different reasons and purposes. Eve becoming the new Sami would be jarring considering the fact that you have to change the entire substance of the show to make it work. We who are watching will not take kindly to Eve acting as if she's a Brady since her step-mom she HATES is Kim, and Eve always looked down on the Brady family. Then, you have the fact that she will be just Dannifer angst.

I need to hear that the show has other ideas about heroines joining that will rock the show from the true Brady/Black bloodline, and the only real options are Carrie or Belle. Otherwise the entire balance of this show will shift completely to Jennifer/Daniel and we will have no depth left. There will be no historic or intricate stories, only plot lines that play to the small part of the Horton family I cannot stand (take Abigail and JJ from the mix). I want Hortons! Where is Melissa, Sarah, David Banning, Scotty Banning, Jeremy Horton, Mike Horton, and even more grown up characters like Marie, Laura, and Bill. The Horton's need a chunk of story, but letting that chunk be Dannifer, with all of potential and those possibilities to make drama that could be bearable for viewers, it frustrates longtime fans that really know this show! The Horton's are so far above Daniel, and Jennifer no longer has the class of a Horton.

CENTER THE SHOW THE RIGHT WAY! "Days" will bleed viewers if they do what they may be in the works of trying, and that would suck to see, but after 35 years, if they leave legacy and years of planning in the dust, I will not watch it turn to crap again. This time, if they take Dannifer to launch a new "Days" without Marlena, most of the Brady's, and the Dimera's shut out, it will suck in the worst way.

TPTB: 95% OF THIS BOARD WANTS MORE VET INTERACTION FROM MARLENA, HOPE, CARRIE, BELLE, AND THE DIMERA"S.........AND 95% OF US LOATHE DANNIFER AND WILL NO MATTER WHAT YOU TRY!

Charlotte also congratulates Kassie in another tweet, for those so eager to call her a jealous bitch. Maybe Kassie will be just holding the role until Charlotte becomes available. That is the ONLY way that I will accept Eve as some country bumpkin with a hillbilly twang.
And, pray tell, what is wrong with country bumpkins? Damnation.

It pains me to say this, because I did enjoy Martha as Belle, but she is really quite frumpy. I do believe that Belle and Shawn need to be on the show, but I would make Belle younger, and try to either get Jason Cook back as Shawn, or recast both Belle and Shawn. As for Christie Clarke, I love her as Carrie. And I feel bad she was fired 3 times from the show. And yet, I can't help but blame her, because she was poised to become the new leading lady of the show, but she left the show at the height of her popularity, which lead AS to take over her place.

Thinking about it more, I'm glad that Eve is back. And I am starting to picture how Kassie could play her. But there does feel like there are several younger vital characters that are missing from the show.

I think it's time to shift the focus from the Bradys, to the Brady/Blacks, so you have John (cringe) and Marlena as patriarch and matriarch, Eric, Brady, Belle, Carrie, and Will as their family. Dump, Caroline, Roman, and Kayla. Shawn is a Horton as much as he is a Brady. So you're building up the Hortons, repositioning Marlena as a major player, and you have some younger characters back. Anyway, I went off on a tangent.

Hopefully Kassie will work out great as Eve.
