I guess there's not that many people here who used to watch OLTL, going by how many are wondering if KDP can pull off a character like Eve, lol.

Anyone who has seen Blair knows that KDP has a pretty good handle on Eve-type characters. :lol:

This is really confusing me. She can totally play the type of character that Eve used to be, but Eve has been gone for so long no one can even really say what Eve is now. I'm hopeful she will still be a bitch Goddess, but we will see. If she's a schemer Kassie can easily handle that. Do people really think she can't mask her accent? I mean I don't know if she can, but I think Days found out she could before they even considered signing her for this role

What I want to know is if DOOL thought the character of Eve was needed, why couldn't they just wait for Ross to be available? This must be a big story for them not to wait or be willing to recast. I hope it is a good one because I typically dont like recasts for roles that have been defined by an actor.

Daytime rarely has an actor mask their true accent, so my thought has always been not whether Kassie could, but whether she would per TPTB's carelessness.

Blair and Eve were both vixens and schemers; there's no doubt about that. But even that class of characters comes in different shades, shapes, and sizes. That doesn't make them remotely alike as far as type. We'll see.

Does it matter if she even has an accent? Eve left Salem 23ish years ago. She could have moved to Georgia or Alabama and picked up an accent pretty quickly. When I visit my relatives down in Southern Missouri for a week I start twanging. It's an easy thing to explain away.

Of course she could have. Us silly Eve purists don't want it for her, that's all.*

*I only speak for myself and anyone else who has mentioned the accent.

I really don't know what difference it really makes. She's playing a troublemaker and that's all that matters. No need for nitpicking as to what type of bitch she'll be. Kassie is going to put her own stamp on the character. I don't want her to try and be Charlotte Ross.

Yep. I loved Blair, but Blair's not Eve. And it's not a better or worse thing for me, it just...is.

While this news surprised the hourglass out of me, I'm excited to see KDP because I've seen OF her (flipping to OLTL for a few minutes here and there) but I don't really know what she can do but I've heard what I've heard and it's all been positive. Having said that, my fanboy heart would've exploded if Charlotte Ross was coming back. I love her and she IS Eve Donovan but when a story is ready to roll and that actor can't roll it, ya go to plan B. I don't think CR's tweets were rude at ALL. She's getting tons of feedback from diehards and she's being sweet and hopeful. I personally thought it cool she thinks Days will never end and one day she COULD come back. KDP may be a home run tho and I certainly don't want her to fail as I looooove me some Eve Donavon. I'm thankful the character is back. And it has been, what?, 25ish years? I think it'll be ok.

Any word on when Eve hits our screen?
