I don't see a problem here. Ross was an adult when Kimberly started having babies on screen. Her daughter hasn't been rapidly aged and there's 20 years of aging on Eve since. Are we complaining about Julie being Hope's half-sister too? Edited by Drew, Jan 24 2014, 05:39 PM.

My main response is regret that the show won't be able to use any of that great past footage establishing Eve as a character now that they're recasting the role. And with someone who's a)older, and b)taller. What a pity they couldn't have found another part for KdP. Also, if Eve is going to be yet another Fetch interloper, I'm over this before she even starts. Bored to death with other characters being used to generate angst and sympathy for a walking stink bomb of a couple who can't generate any on their own. |

Not that there's a chance in hell she's coming back (because I'm about the only person who really liked her in the role and she has another career), but KdP is actually older than Karen Moncrieff (Gabrielle Pascal).

He looks his age which is unusual in Hollywood these days. |

Blair also matured into that type of character. Eve was only on the show for four years. Not a very long time when it comes to establishing a character on a soap. And in that four years, Eve was a character in her teens/early-20s. Who knows what she would've turned into with some maturity. I love this decision. DePaiva would never be my first choice when it comes to recasting Eve, but I think she'll make it work. She's a powerhouse of an actress. She plays bad oh so good. And she can sing! I'm just impressed the show is bringing the character back, despite who's playing her. It just seemed so logical to have Eve come back, considering Jennifer and Theresa's feelings towards each other. I have to praise the writers for going in this direction. And now those meetings with Ross a few months back make much more sense now. Unfortunately, she must not have been available, so DAYS went with a recast. I'm looking forward to seeing what DePaiva can do for the role. And as for age, Ross is 46. DePaiva is 52. Only a six year age difference. Shaughnessy isn't really old enough to play either's dad. It worked back in the 80s due to Ross' babyface when she was younger. She lost that a long time ago and actually looks her age now. Damn good for her age, but still, she definitely looks 46. A good 46. But still 46. Edited by DrewHamilton, Jan 24 2014, 06:06 PM.

Gotta admit my jaw just about dropped when I read this, but............ it's a smart move. The time's right to bring back Eve and inviting the OLTL crowd to tune in is good for business and ratings (if they deliver on story which seems more likely now than at any time in recent years). Despite the minor SORASing, I think KDP is more than up to playing this role. I would have liked to see Charlotte come back and I'm glad they asked her, but it's not a necessity. I've watched religiously for 22+ years and I've never seen Charlotte on Days as she left in July '91 and I started watching when they hyped Marlena's return in September '91 (I was a Santa Barbara watcher and finally got sucked in by those infamous Days promos :toetap: ). And no I don't consider myself a newbie lol. So I there are lots of Days fans who won't be comparing the two at all (except from watching classic clips on YT). Welcome aboard Kassie! :welcome: Edited by DeeDee Barone, Jan 24 2014, 06:23 PM.

Omg really?!?! This may be the most shocking news I've heard in a looooong time. I know Kassie is a good actress and popular...and we knew she was coming to Days..but as EVE Donovan?!? I'm thrilled to have Eve back and I'm glad to see that family beef up but I can't picture this at all. Bummed we aren't getting CR. I don't know what to think about this yet lol. |

Okay, I know that some people are going to jump on me for even daring to compare the two, but regardless, it's a valid comparison. People here were just saying a few months ago, when many of us were apprehensive about Chandler Massey's Will being recast, that it's not a big deal, recasts are just a part of soaps, the powers-that-be had no choice because Chandler was planning to leave, life will go on, it's important to give the new actor a chance, yada yada yada...but now that the same is happening to Charlotte Ross's Eve, it's suddenly a different story? Seems like the same exact scenario to me. :shrug: And I also find it ironic that in the Justin Gaston casting announcement thread, there was talk about how Days should be using what they already have instead of creating new roles, and in this thread, there's talk about how Days should have created a new role for Kassie DePaiva instead of using what they already had. :lol: Damned if you do, damned if you don't. |

If DAYS puts Eve in a storyline with Daniel, then I want Eve to be the one person who finally knocks Daniel off his pedestal. My dream scenario: Eve is feeling ill and asks Daniel to give her a medical exam. Then Eve goes to the hospital board and says that Daniel touched her inappropriately during the medical exam. Jen is enraged and thinks that Eve is lying and trying to cause trouble because Daniel isn't interested in Theresa. Abigail decides to investigate in order to prove Daniel's innocence. But then Abigail finds evidence that Daniel actually DID behave inappropriately towards Eve. (And it turns out that Daniel molested several women in other towns before coming to Salem.) Then Fetch is over for all eternity; Abigail begins a career in investigative journalism; and Eve secretly buys the hospital and kicks out all the Hortons. (At this point, Anne does a dance of joy!) Eve lets EJ stay on the hospital board, and Eve and EJ work closely together in order to make the hospital more profitable. |

I would like the pairing of EJ and Eve. I agree it would be a waste of her talent with Daniel.....she is a leading lady...so happy Days picked her up. |

Horrible casting decision. There is only one Eve Donovan & that is Charlotte Ross. I had no idea she was even considering returning & to find out that she was, makes this news heartbreaking. CR is one of DAYS all-time best actresses & this depaiva broad is way too old & unsexy to play such a delicious character. |
