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?
I find it highly unlikely that they would "waste" their opportunity to hire Kassie DePaiva on something that was only intended to be a temporary recast instead of using her in some other role that they could keep her in "permanently"...unless, of course, there was never a chance of Kassie signing on for an extended length of time in the first place.

But I suspect that this is likely just a case of Charlotte Ross pandering to her fans with a sly, hopeful assurance that she'll "one day" return that will probably never amount to anything at all.

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?
I have A LOT of Kim and Shane love and I will make that clear after the first paragraph

It really does blow my mind that they would just "skip" any of the Black/Brady girls, and go with a Donovan. If they felt the need to recast Belle (which would make no sense at all considering the fact that Martha Madison created an adult Belle we love), then just do it and get a big name that could play opposite Dee well, like Madison did. Then there is the ever wondering question about why Carrie isn't joining this show ASAP to finish the groundwork JER started. I consider Marlena to be Carrie's "Mother" . Anna was never a real mother to Carrie in any way shape or form. However, there was a clear path the show was taking that worked, and everything fell into place perfectly., Christie Clarke, an Emmy nominee, would take the shows lead for the Brady and Black families, and Belle was placed to have many storylines that would involve such a wide variety of characters. It was perfectly put into place that John and Marlena's daughter, Belle, was in love with Shawn, Bo and Hopes son. The tradition would continue and the continuity of the show would keep loyal viewers.

That said, Each person would have their cup of tea, and the ex hooker Kimberly, who came from a sincere and yet at times dysfunctional family, falls in love with Shane Donovan, a dashing spy who is too caught up in his work to even realize how deep in love he was with Kim for a while. Then you have Kim's past haunting her in a terrible way,, while Shane is trying to set aside his feelings and put duty first...It was an emotional supercouple that chased each other around the bed the first time playing cat and mouse, and they were the epic couple of the late 80's and early 90's in my opinion (Sorry Steve & Kayla and Jack& Jenn fans).

The one person that started the undoing of Shane and Kim was Eve, an above it all bitch that you loved to hate. Did her never ending need for control allow her the ability to have what she wanted? Absolutely, and just like Sami in the 1990's, it worked and viewers wanted her on the canvas. Eve was very prominent on this show, and even though it's been a very long time since we saw that fake smile and devious intuition, we longed for her presence about 5 minutes after she was gone. Eve Donovan in many ways has a historic tie to that era in "Days" history, and thank God she is not forgotten. I want to see her just demolish Jennifer, and if anyone can take Jennifer down to nothing, it's Eve. I will watch a wait to see Jennifer fall right into Eve's trap, just like she always did.

NOW......KASSIE DEPAIVA AS EVE.......... Is it a perfect match? Hell no, and we could have found a slew of actresses that would be more true to the original Eve that are Kassie's age or younger.

Can Kassie Pull This Off? Yes she can. Eve has been gone since 1990 and even those of us who remember her will adjust to a person who is miscast in a role that is so distant.

Robert Kelker Kelly was a miscast we had to deal with on day one, but we still considered him Bo once we got over it, and Kelly had enough fans to get a SOD Award. Drake came on to play Roman and they slowly let us in on the intentions for the bandaged and reconstructed man that called himself John. In a small space of time, the biggest hero in Days history up to that point, was re-casted successfully and we loved Drake as Roman. Would I consider Drake to be like Wayne in the acting department? No, not at all. It pains me to say this as a VERY enthusiastic John & Marlena fan, but Wayne is the better actor of the two. However, what made it work was the fact that Drake had MUCH better chemistry with Marlena.

So Charlotte Ross will not return due to scheduling conflicts, what are you going to do? You go out and find an award winning vixen that has proven to have acting chops. Is it a miscast considering CR, yes and anyone who watched this show when Ms. Peach poured afternoon tea can really get that! The thing is, it's been 23 to 24 years, and though she was vicious and unforgettable, we can learn to see Eve played by a better than usual actress.

I would have gone after someone else, but Tomlin has worked with Kassie before and understands how to give her the right lines and scenes. He had an idea in mind for Eve, and somehow Kassie fit that idea once Charlotte said no. Kassie is no Alfonso, Hall, Evans, or Hall, but she's better than some others they could have drug in off the unemployment line.

Now......Where's Belle and Carrie.......and how much will I actually see Shane and Kim?

And where is a Deidre Hall story that WILL still draw viewers? Days is using Kate enough, and now Susan Hayes thank God, but an Icon like Deidre has to get a storyline soon than can involve wide variety of characters. Maggie gets a love interest, and Kate gets one as well, so what's up in Burbank? Remember, this is "Days of Our Lives". Dee is an actress that defines the show. Note to TPTB....FIX IT.

What?!?!?

I swear the soap world is more fun now than the soaps themselves. This little post is a bit pesky, strange, and almost detrimental to Kassie. If we are to think there is a good chance Ross will return, then why invest in the recast?

I am still going to invest because that post was bizarre and I have a sneaking suspicion what it COULD mean. Kassie is on the screen playing Eve, while Ross comes on a plays__________ Horton or someone new. OR, like it has been suggested, Kassie is a placeholder. Kassie is a pretty big name, and I just do not see them getting mid stream and saying, BYE Kassie.

As for the southern accent......Kassie has a more pronounced accent on OLTL than most southerners do. Especially a person from the metropolitan New South, like myself. I go around the country, tell them I was born in Atlanta and my family from there, and I get "No way man you sound like you're from Cali or Illinois. You have no accent, so how did you lose it?".......... In the cities of the south accents fade into the skyscrapers.

Kassie cannot play a backwoods and southern Eve Donovan. Jesus, that would be sour.

It is very possible than New York-based KDP is nothing but a placeholder until CR is available. Maybe they can do a real Eve Donovan promo like ABC pulled in the old days with Greenlee ;)

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...

Yes! Kind of undermines Kassie before she even gets started. Sounds like something Eve would do ;).

Is she too old? Um, this is a show that has almost an entire cast full of ridiculously too old actors playing characters that are suppose to be decades younger. Brady is suppose to be 22, and he's being played by a 42 yr old actor! This show is ridiculous.

You know, you make some good points. I'm admittedly a KDP fan so I've been happy with the news of her joining Days but I'm starting to seriously question CR's sincerity. Those tweets weren't exactly about her taking the high road.

I didn't watch Days back in the 80's and 90's so I never saw Eve but I'm definitely hoping that KDP stays a long time in the role. She is an amazing actress who will definitely be able hold her own with the powerhouse actors on Days. Granted, she hasn't played a real bitchy character in quite awhile but something tells me that she'll be able pick it back up easily enough. She's not a newbie to soaps, she's not a one-note actress and and she was a big favorite on OLTL. I hope older fans of Days give her a real chance.

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.
Yes, it's a different story. Eve was played by a good actress, Charlotte Ross. Will was played by an awful actor, Chandler Massey.
Chandler Massey was not an awful actor. He was a great actor. His portrayal of Will Horton is what brought me to Days.

Spoken like a classy woman she is. Compare that with the self centered bitch who originated the role.

Explaining DePaiva's accent can easily be explained. Eve has spent the last 2 decades in Nashville or Atlanta working in the music scene. And just picked it up. Bam, there done. ;)

It says a lot that even though we knew there was discussion of Eve coming back and we also knew there was a possibility of Kassie DePaiva joining the show, not a single person guessed that she would be playing this character because that's just how wrong she is for it.

Great actress, huge miscast.
Lol, someone actually guessed it here and everyone dismissed it!:

http://daytimeroyaltyonline.com/single/?p=9062252&t=8944430
Because that's not who Jason was hinting about. Jason was teasing about the actor who plays Ben.
I guessed it on 1/8 in the spoilerish tweet forum

I watched and loved CR as Eve but am still going to give KDP a chance. She kicked ass on GL and OLTL; she's a talented actress. Plus, it's about time that Days beefed up its show so that it doesn't center around one or two actors and actresses.

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.
