In the Days February Sweeps article and SOD casting, they said Aketra "Keke" Sevillian is playing Jada Hunter's younger sister Talia Hunter, also daughter of Marcus. Talia has a medical degree, but applies for a job at the bakery. There is a small mystery about this.

 

In her IG post dated Oct. 24, Aketra "Keke" Sevillian said she'd just completed a month of filming at "a show". This post contains a batch of pics at the Days studio:

That's cool because we need more Jada stories, just like DAYS dressing rooms need new ceiling tiles.

I love the idea of Jada as Marcus' daughter, but I hate how bland they've written her.  As discussed on another thread a couple of months ago, the show didn't have Lani anymore so they cast another Black female cop and then made her Marcus' daughter as a way to tie her to the canvas.  But it was "checking the boxes" casting with no character development. Such a shame because Marcus was a great character and Elia Cantu can act.

LOL, I never heard anything like that.

This is what Ron said:

Jada and Rafe will want to date each other but a new city regulation prevents the city employees from dating their superiors.

Unrelatedly, Talia has some sort of medical degree but, for a reason not yet explained, she applies for Allie's old job at Chanel's bakery.  There's a small mystery about her.

Honestly, at times it seems like they even style Elia like Saleisha and she kind of just comes off as a recast. It's a shame because I feel DAYS really needs more people that aren't related to everyone on the canvas; this sister business just makes me wonder if they're going to write Chanel off lol
