NBC has confirmed that "One Life to Live" vet Kassie DePaiva is en route to "Days of Our Lives" — to fill the role Charlotte Ross once played.

Per our friends at Soaps In Depth, DePaiva is joining the NBC sudser as onetime teen hooker Eve Donovan, aka Theresa’s half-sister.



Ross had tweeted in early December that she met with "Days" executive producer Greg Meng and headwriter Christopher Whitesell about a possible encore, but ultimately, she claimed this week, she opted for other opportunities, including "Nashville" and VH1′s "Hit the Floor".

That's weird... I can't picture her as Eve Donovan at all, although I do like Kassie DePavia.

I didn't start watching DAYS til 1995 (I was 12 or 13) so I don't remember the character Eve Donovan. I never really followed OLTL but I have always like Kassie. I wish her the best with this role and I look forward to watching!

I do have a DAYS family history book. I may go do some character research on Eve before she begins.

"Days of Our Lives'" Kassie DePaiva Confirms Ouster: "It Saddens Me"

Daytime-TV vet Kassie DePaiva has confirmed not just her exit from "Days of Our Lives", but that the decision was not hers to make.

On Sunday morning — days after SerialScoop.com broke the news of her exit — DePaiva thanked fans, via her official website, for the kudos she has received for the past few weeks of storyline (“Eve’s loss … forced me to go to a very dark place that no one ever wants to go to in ‘real life,'” she shared).



The two-time Daytime Emmy nominee (for her run as One Life to Live‘s Blair) then went on to affirm that, as she put it, the sand in her hourglass was running out at Days.

“I have no regrets. I had a truly remarkable experience there,” she wrote. “It saddens me to have been let go from the show just as Eve was finally finding her footing… but that is the way the soap business goes.”



DePaiva, who made her "Days" debut in June 2014, is expected to appear on screen for several more months due to the sudser’s famously large lead time.

SerialScoop.com says DePaiva’s exit storyline will not tie into the current serial killer mystery.
