I totally agree. There's definitely a lot of potential for a "Jack's not really dead" storyline, especially now that Eve's returning to DAYS. For example, maybe Eve arrived in Salem on the evening of the DAYSaster because she wanted Jack to help her with a business deal. Eve learned that Jack had been in a horrific elevator crash, so Eve rushed to the elevator wreckage and saw that Jack was still alive. The paramedics arrived, and Eve bribed them to say that Jack was dead. Then Eve whisked Jack out of Salem and took him to a medical clinic in Europe. Meanwhile, a random homeless guy (a Jack lookalike) died in the DAYSaster, so Eve arranged for the homeless guy to be cremated, and fake Jack's ashes were given to Jennifer. And all this time, the real Jack has been living in Europe and suffering from amnesia. And when Jack gets his memory back, he can return to Salem and tell Jennifer to go to hell. Then Jack and Eve can buy the Spectator and be colleagues and best pals! :cheer: |

Eve debuted 8 days before I was born. That's probably why I have absolutely no recollection of her! I say bring on Kassie, ha. Most people watching now probably have no idea that CR was in the role or won't even notice the difference. My mom thought that the new Will was Jacob Young. :shrug: Edited by Spencer Hastings, Jan 26 2014, 05:24 PM.

It's not new but I found it kinda interesting because it's Logan saying this: Michael Logan @TVGMLogan Jan 24 ALL ABOUT EVE! Did Charlotte Ross screw herself out of a gig by Tweeting that @nbcdays was having Eve meetings? Gotta wonder @DaysofourLives https://twitter.com/TVGMLogan/status/426787820145885184 |

THIS! THIS! THIS! "Good" characters can very believably do "bad" things and that's what helps to make them more interesting, complex and relatable characters. They used to do stuff like that all this time with their "good" characters, but you just don't see it much anymore and I think the plot over character writing is why. That is, because they focus on plots rather than characters, they don't like to take the necessary time to invest in creating real motivations for actions. So rather than building up to why a "good" character would do something "bad," they just have to take the easy way of giving the interesting actions/plots to their "gray/bad" characters so the audience will find the action to be believable without any of that pesky build-up or creation of motivation. |

Not related, but I would love if they made Jordan turn out to be Eve's daughter anyway. |

I think TB is an extremely good comparison. GREAT actress who was horribly mis-cast. Having a role to fill and finding out that a great actress is available should not equal automatic green light to put THAT actress in THAT role. To me, that's the biggest concern here. KDP is just not an Eve-type of actress. |

With the exception of TB (she played Taylor? Really? I thought she played that crazy chick who was after Steve) all of those recasts came along with recent departures from the former actor and IMO, the new recasts were not good actors anyway. KDP is a good actress. She can adapt. But what I find more important, most of the audience's relationship to Eve is gone. I'm not going to hold the show accountable for trying to keep the integrity of a character that was last seen over 20 years ago. In RL, people change thus Eve Donovan could very well be a completely different kind of person than she was back in 1992. |

KDP is a GREAT actress and I will certainly give her a chance in the role....but this reeks of bad miscast...which seriously sucks because KDP is so good and I would HATE to see what happened to TB and Taylor happen to KDP in this role. Just gonna have to wait and see with this one. I do hope CR returns one day, because Eve is her role and I don't give a fuck HOW long she has been away from DAYS. |

I think that may be true, but there are a number of roles that I would have been upset to see recast even after that length of time. Some roles are more actor-dependent than others and I would have thought Eve was one of the ones that fell more to that side, but we'll see how it goes. And yeah, TB was recast as Taylor when they let Natalia Livingston go, but it didn't take. Did they each do thirteen weeks? |

I'm glad she's excited, but she has the time wrong...unless she won't be airing until 2018 (which with Days tape schedule is entirely possible). |

I agree but Eve is more of an adult now and that may be why TPTB think KDP could play an older version of Eve. I do hope if this turns out to be a miscast that they will fix it and bring on Ross to at least when she is available. I still think they wouldn't agree to her terms or she wasnt happy with the pay and therefore she used twitter to try to get support and therefore went with the primetime gigs. |

This is really puzzling. She has made similar comments on her twitter. Does she know nothing about the character she is getting paid to play or an initial idea of current storyline that brings Eve to Salem. I hope KDP does some freakin research. Wish TPTB would have waited for Ross to return. It would have been great buzz. |

I'm guessing she's confusing Eve's first year onscreen with the year she left. Eve first appeared in 1987 which would be 27 years. Just a mistake, no big deal. |

I have no problem with country bumpkins, love them in fact. I just don't want one of them playing Eve Donovan. I haven't watched the show regularly in awhile & I definitely won't be tuning in to see a 3rd rate interpretation of one of my favorite characters. |
