Departing 'Days of our Lives' Star Kassie DePaiva: "It Saddens Me to Have Been Let Go From the Show Just as Eve Was Finally Finding Her Footing"

Kassie DePaiva

As reported by Serial Scoop last week, Kassie DePaiva will be leaving Days of our Lives and the role of Eve Larson in the coming months. The actress thanked fans and co-stars in a posting on her official website over the weekend:

"As the sand runs out of my hourglass over at Days… I have no regrets," DePaiva wrote. "I had a truly remarkable experience there. From the beginning as Eve showed up in town and throughout her bumpy ride through Salem it has all been a good time for me. I got to work with people that I have admired for many years. I especially want to thank Melissa Reeves, True OBrien, Casey Moss, Jen Lilley, Wally Kurth, and A Martinez. They each helped me find the "real" Eve. 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. Characters come and go just as actors, writers, and producers. Some we love… Some we hate… But fortunately for all of us the stories still go on. Keep watching and here's to 50 more years of Days of our Lives!!!"

Emmy winner A Martinez makes his Days debut today as Eduardo, Eve's ex.
