There was less than a 6-year age difference between Stephen Nichols and Joy Garrett. And there's just a 10-year age difference between Ali Sweeney and Guy Wilson, so it's not too out of the ordinary to have people close in age play parent and child. The actors on Blue Bloods who play father & son (Len Cariou and Tom Selleck) are only 5 years apart too. |

So interesting - so basically they started with the character and not the actress. It wasn't like, we need some fresh blood. It was like, we need an Eve Donovan. |

As for the age difference, I agree it's all about how they look on screen. So if it's believable with them standing next to each other, it's fine imo. I guess I'd have to see them standing next to each other first, lol. |

I love Kassie, I love Eve Donovan, I do not love the idea of Kassie as Eve. KDP as Charles Shaughnessy's daughter? Um, no. |

The only writing that could make me feel better about this is if Eve returns to Salem with her new boyfriend or husband in tow... amnesiac Jack Deveraux. But still, I'd probably still wish it was Charlotte Ross. |

The problem with that for me is that Jennifer herself is no longer a rootable character. As much as I resent Dr. Gary Stu Jonas, she is at least half the problem for why the pairing is so godawful. |

She's gonna need some major overhaul in the looks department. Firstly, Eve *has* to be blonde. |

While the storyline in that idea seems great the thought of it happening without CR makes me cringe just thinking about it. |

Sorry to post twice the same in two different threads but i hadn't realized we had this thread yet. Here is what I said on the matter: A high percentage of current Days viewers have no idea who Eve Donovan is. Hell, someone could be a viewer who has watched in the last 10 years and still not know. So I'm all for this. I loved Charlotte Ross as Eve but that was 20 years ago. If the show did offer it to CR first and she turned them down, that raises my respect for the producers even more but it's not required. After seeing her in recent things like Glee, I'm not sure she's up to the challenge of coming back to the show (sorry, but that's my feelings). KDP is a terrific actress PLUS the show might get OLTL viewers coming over as well. It's a win win. |

This is conflicting. I love both Kassie DaPaiva and Charlotte Ross. If they couldn't get Ross back, then I am glad that they picked someone decent to play Eve. It all depends on what the story is and how the character chemistry plays out on-screen. |

Kassie went back to her lighter color just last week. She's blonder than she's been in awhile. |

I don't mind ashy, or brownish blonde - I mean BLONDE blonde, as in serious blonde. |

Am I the only one on the planet who doesn't think Charles Shaughnessy looks young? |

Nope. I think he looks about the same age as of the other people on the show who are the on screen parents of the actors in their 50s. |

The age thing doesn't bother me since Shane seemed too young to be CR's dad way back when. He would have sired her at twelve if we were going by real life ages. I love Kassie but I would rather she was a new character or maybe a Jessica Fallon recast. I just always think of Charlotte as Eve despite the years since she has been on. And the chance to see some classic flashbacks would have been great. I'll wait and see I guess. |

She's been gone for over 20 years and still has a thriving film and television career. It's time to let go. They've picked a wonderful and talented actress who more than carried OLTL for its last decade. The real concern will be whether Days can give her quality material.
