JASON47's PRESS RELEASE ON "DAYS" CASTING NEWS:

Former "Days" fan favorites Melissa Reeves (Jennifer) and Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) return to "Days" this fall. Camila Banus joins the cast as a newly-aged Gabi Hernandez. Former contract cast member Eileen Barnett guests as a nun. Soap vets Stacy Haiduk, Robin Mattson and Ty Treadway make guest appearances in the next few months. Actor French Stewart (3rd Rock From the Sun) also makes an appearance. Complete biographies of each actor are listed below. http://www.jason47.com

Melissa Reeves (Jennifer Deveraux) is returning to "Days of Our Lives" this November. Reeves portrayed Jennifer from 1985-1995 and again from 2000-2006. Unlike her guest appearances in June for Alice's memorial, this time she will be on contract. No word yet on whether Matthew Ashford (Jack Deveraux, Jennifer's husband) will be returning as well. Reeves was nominated for a Daytime Emmy as younger actress in 1992. She has also won four Soap Opera Digest Awards for her role as Jennifer. Reeves, 43, was born March 14, 1967 in Eatontown, New Jersey. She has been married to actor Scott Reeves, whom she met on the "Days" set, since 1990. They have two children, Emily and Lawrence.

Camila Banus will be replacing Gabriela Rodriguez in the role of Gabi Hernandez in late September/early October. Her first tape date was Friday, July 30. "Days" made the change in order to age the character of Gabi a few years. Rodriguez turned 17 in March, while Banus just turned 20 in July. Banus appeared as Lola Mendez on "One Life to Live" from 2008-2009 and has made guest appearances on "Dexter" and "I'm With the Band." She has also made numerous appearances on many Telemundo and Univision series. Banus was born on July 22, 1990 in Miami, Florida.

Mary Beth Evans returns to "Days" on September 21 as Kayla Brady Johnson. No word yet on how long Kayla will be staying in Salem this time. Evans appeared on "Days" from 1986-1992 and again from 2006-2009. She also returned briefly in June for Alice's memorial. Evans, 49, was born on March 7, 1961 in Pasadena, California. She has been married to Dr. Michael Schwartz since 1985. They have three children: Daniel, Katherine and Matthew.

Former contract cast member Eileen Barnett, who played Stephanie Woodruff (an alias of her character's real name, Brooke Hamilton) on "Days of Our Lives" from September 1978 through February 1980, returns to "Days" as Sister Anne on Wednesday, August 4. Barnett's husband since 1991 is actor Bruce French, who appeared on "Passions" for its entire run as Father Lonigan, the blind priest. Barnett, 64, was born May 8, 1946 in Chicago, Illinos.

Long-time soap opera veteran Robin Mattson will be appearing on "Days" in October as Lee. She will be involved in the prison storyline along with Stacy Haiduk, who will be playing Jane, the warden. She began her acting career as a child in 1966, making her soap debut on "Guiding Light" in 1976. Through the years, she has appeared on "General Hospital", "Ryan's Hope", "Santa Barbara", "All My Children", "The Bold and the Beautiful", and most recently on "As the World Turns" in 2007. Mattson has been nominated for four Daytime Emmy Awards, as well as winning five Soap Opera Digest Awards. Mattson, 54, was born on June 1, 1956 in Los Angeles, California. She has been married to Werner Roth since 2006.

Stacy Haiduk will be appearing on "Days" in September in the role of Jane, a prison warden. Haiduk began her acting career with a four-year stint as Lana Lang on "The Adventures of Superboy" from 1988-1992. She has also had series regular roles on "The Round Table", "Seaquest 2032", "Kindred: The Embraced", "All My Children" and just recently wrapped her stint playing a dual role on "The Young and the Restless." Haiduk, 42, was born on April 24, 1968 in Grand Rapids, Michigan. She has been married to actor Bradford Tatum since 1997.

Ty Treadway will appear on "Days" this fall as Dr. Jason Walters. Treadway started out as Colin MacIvor on "One Life to Live", but more recently has been known for hosting "Soap Talk", "Merv Griffin's Crosswords", and "American Idol Extra." Treadway, 43, was born on Feberuary 11, 1967 in Trenton, New Jersey. He has been married to Monica Surratt since 2003. They have two children, Samantha and Ryder.

French Stewart, who starred as Harry Solomon on "3rd Rock From the Sun" from 1996-2001, will be guest starring on "Days" this fall. This will be Stewart's second appearance on "Days." Just before making it big on "3rd Rock", Stewart appeared as a robber on "Days" in 1995. He was nominated for a Daytime Emmy in 2000 for his voiceover work on the animated series "Hercules." Stewart, 46, was born on February 20, 1964 in Albuquerque, New Mexico.

F*U*C*K YES!!! Melissa Reeves is back as the darling Jennifer Rose Horton for good!

I could give a rats patootie about the other casting news, unless Ty Treadway is going to be in square-cut boxer briefs during each episode he appears in....

Jennifer Rose Horton is BACK!!!! And *without* that oafish Jack Devereaux!!! Too bad Mark Valley's career in primetime is booming... is it anti-DAYS to admit I preferred Valley's Jack over Ashford? Ashford has the sex appeal of Rosie O'Donnell...

      I know Passions used this trope with Ethan and Sam to drag out the paternity, but GH seems to speed through certain stories while dragging others.

      For any other soap, I think I’d agree, but GH, I don’t know

      BTG: May 2025 Discussion Thread

      By AbcNbc247 · Posted

      Agreed, that there was some strange choices in the episode, especially at the end, but overall, that was some great drama that opens up the potential for so much future storyline. Kat vs. Eva having the most potential, especially over Tomas. I have mixed feelings about Martin/BC though. I thought he did pretty well in scenes with Smitty/MM, but the scenes of him confronting Leslie and of him throwing the books were bad lol she acted circles around him.  It’s similar to what Harding Lemay said about George Reinholt at AW; he could be brilliant in one scene, but then mediocre in the next.

      I know some of y'all really like Brooke Kerr, and so I've tried to give her a shot, despite her frequent flat line readings and distracted "did I leave the front door unlocked?" facial expressions. But lord, she is so bad at playing a tough-talking badass that I was actually rooting for Brad today to spill the beans to Drew.

      Googling does tend to ruin it.  For those of us who were teens in the late 1970s and early 1980s, you can't imagine how much fun it was to watch the show in the afternoons.  (It came on right after school.)  There weren't any "spoilers" at the time.  We would always try to anticipate how each crime and each mystery would be resolved, and we were ALWAYS wrong, because the stories are filled with so many weird twists and turns.   The head writer (Henry Slesar) and his dialogue writer (Steve Lehrman) invariably toss genuine clues directly into your face in the most unlikely ways, but then they provide a host of "red herrings" to completely confuse you and send you off on the wrong path.  Once the story reaches its conclusion, all you can think is Why didn't I figure that out weeks ago?  lol

      Does the vault have the original scene and not the short flashback?

      I appreciate that you are using AI with the knowledge of it's limitations. Some posters take everything it produces as fact.

      The Saturday 8pm slot usually had the lowest rating of the NBC 4 sitcom lineup for some reason. NBC let Saturday night fizzle, They used 9.30 pm to launch 227 and Amen, both of which moved to earlier in the evening but they  kept Empty Nest following GG for several seasons.  Empty Nest should have moved to 8pm with their strongest new sitcom at 9.30, anticipating that GG would eventually falter. Instead they left them there and stretching the sitcom pool too thinly on other nights. When Grand talk over at 9.30 Thurs maybe Night Court and Wings could have been used on Saturday.
