May 2001

From time to time we like to give updates on former Days children who you probably haven't seen onscreen recently.

Chelsea Butler (Belle)

She was recently cast in a play starring Holly Hunter. Due to the location and time constraints, she had to turn it down. She continues to go out on auditions on a regular basis, both for commercials and episodic TV. This summer she'll spend time at her summer home in Montana. Chelsea is now old enough to go riding in Glacier Park.

Eric and Brandon Billings (Brady)

They are finishing up third grade and having lots of fun with scouts and soccer. While they enjoy time away from showbiz, there's a possiblity they'll get back in somewhere down the road.

Ashlyn and Kayley Messick (Belle)

The girls were recently seen in a small extra role in the movie Tom Cats.

April 2001

From Michlene Ann...
The role of Isaac Carver has been recast with boy twins, Sam & Max Christy. The role was previously played by girls Alyssa and Lauren Libby. The boys are about 6 weeks older than the Libbys, so Isaac has been slightly aged, but fans won't most likely notice a difference in size, because they are about the same size as the Libbys. Their first tape date was Monday, April 9. That will air near the end of April. Although leaving Days, Alyssa and Lauren have just filmed a national commercial for G.E. In it, they are sitting side by side. Look for it to air soon.
