JASON47 EXCLUSIVE: NOVEMBER SWEEPS ARRIVAL FOR NEW CHARACTER...FIRST ASIAN MALE ON CONTRACT IN "DAYS" HISTORY...

"Days" fans might remember this casting call for "Micah" earlier in the year: "The show is seeking a 24-30 year old gorgeous Hispanic or Asian male. Micah is a baseball player with fantastic looks and killer charm making him irresistible. He is masculine and charming but authentic so as not to come off as a 'playa' or slick."

Recently, a casting call for "Micah's" mother, Tori Norita, was posted: "A gorgeous Japanese woman between the ages of 40 and 50 to play Tori Norita. She is the proud mother of a 25-year old son and lives in Japan, but longs to be in the States with her son to support his career. The role is recurring."

While it's not known if the character will still be called Micah, one thing is for sure: This will be the first major Asian character in "Days" history. Look for his debut during November sweeps.

Asian?

'Playa'?

Tori Norita?

And they're all gorgeous?

Oh my...

Let's see, could he be Daniel's long lost....just kidding. Imagine a grandson for Tommy Horton? He did live in Hawaii................

So with a Japanese mother, I assume Micah is also Japanese? Or is he Korean. Or Filipino. Or Taiwanese. Or Chinese. "Asian" is a pretty big umbrella to fall under. And, with the option of Micah also being potentially Hispanic, it's like what?

Maybe they dusted off the bible for Pacific Lives

If they asked for Asian and Hispanic, could possibly be Filipino

That'd be awesome

At least they're not the [!@#$%^&*] Chins. Who own a Chinese restaurant. Thanks again, AMC!

I remember the Chins. Oh, the humanity.

Can we just have a whole new soap?

That would be a good guess.

How delicious if they nabbed Mia Korf and she played opposite Kassie.

Remember bitchy Asian lawyer chick from several months ago? Wouldn't mind seeing that actress back.

Can we just have a whole new soap?

Its already going to be.

I hope DAYS is NOT promoting this in a release - "first Asian male" and it's editorializing. If so, that is rather pathetic and a further reflection of how truly white-washed DAYS has been over the years. Coincidence that "Maya" an AA character is also coming on canvas.
