One of the most popular daytime actresses is now turning heads in Salem. Kassie DePaiva sat down with us at THE BUZZ to chat about her role as Eve Donovan on NBC Daytime's "Days of our Lives."

Soap audiences fell in love with DePaiva (then Wesley) when she first started in daytime in 1986 on "Guiding Light" as Chelsea Reardon. After leaving the soap in 1991, she would soon breathe life into the role of Blair Cramer on "One Life to Live," where she played the part from 1993-2013.

Fans soon fell in love with DePaiva's portrayal of Eve, the vixen who proves daily that she can still use her dirty tricks when necessary. 

"I am grateful for the opportunity to play Eve, and I am glad it's working. Eve is definitely not a pleasant person. I think she is the Queen of Miserable. *laughs* However, there is a soft spot for her daughter, Paige. That will drive Eve to do just about anything. I think that is the whole point of Eve's existence in Salem. She wants to make sure that her daughter has a better life than she did."

One of the concepts that I find interesting is how the show managed to incorporate Kassie's and Casey Moss' (JJ Devereaux) singing talents. We got to speak with her about this concept as well:

"We get to see a different side of Eve through her music. As much as she really hates that JJ is in Paige's life, they (Eve and JJ) have that common ground with their music and love for Paige. I thought they were nicely written scenes because it gave a connection between those two characters that you don't get to see. Eve is really trying to take JJ down."

One of DePaiva's recent projects that she worked on last year was the independent film, "We Are What We Are," a horror film which starred former "All My Children" star, Ambyr Childers. Kassie spoke with us on what it was like filming this movie:

"I had just been offered my second round of air shows to film for 'General Hospital.' This was an independent film that was shot up in the Catskills, and I know I was cast based on the popularity of my character in the 1987 film, 'Evil Dead 2.' Once you are a part of the horror film genre, you kind of are remembered. When I went in to audition for it, I basically said, 'Please, let me do this part!' It was a small role, but it was really fun. It was a physically challenging part because I had to drown and spit up black vial. *laughs*"

We spoke more with Kassie about working with her cast members at "DAYS," plus much more on our full podcast with the actress.

Casey Moss plays the role of JJ Devereaux on the NBC Daytime soap, "Days of our Lives." The son of Jennifer and Jack Devereaux, JJ came back to town over a year ago following Jack's death, and instantly had a chip on his shoulder. The character has certainly evolved since arriving back into Salem, but fans certainly miss the days when JJ was just a bad kid slashing tires, messing with drugs, and being plain old mean to Daniel Jonas. 

"Everyone loved it, which was cool. When you have someone come onto the show who was a pain, they don't get positive feedback for it. For some reason, I got to be thankful for it, as fans LOVED me being that way. You're gonna like what's coming up. I'm not going to give away any details, but you're going to really enjoy it. I think everyone is."

As we touched on this subject the last time Moss was here, we spoke more about the actor's music, and how it was able to be incorporated into the show. Fans may recall a scene which aired within the last couple of weeks that featured JJ and Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva) with the two singing. 

"It's really exciting that they are actually incorporating music into the show. I'm very thankful that they allowed me to play my guitar, and do my thing. Hopefully, they incorporate that more, which I believe they are going to. I can't be any more thankful, because this is what I do in my personal life, as well. And, what a blast working with Kassie. She's great!"

Moss was recently seen at The Viper Room with his band, "Eyes of One." The group has been together for almost a year, and competed recently in "Battle of the Bands" at Universal Citywalk. 

"We are now advancing to the next round. We actually have been going back and forth to Vegas, and discussing a few things with a couple of people out there. The band is taking off, and I'm very excited for it. We've been getting some steady progress, which has been a blast!"

For the past two decades years, Alison Sweeney has been known to many soap audiences for her portrayal of Samantha "Sami" Brady on NBC Daytime's "Days of our Lives." Now, after 22 years, the actress and character say goodbye to the fictional town of Salem. While Sweeney has officially been done taping since May, the character of Sami will be last seen on October 30, 2014. We spoke with her about how she came to the decision to leave a role that has been a huge part of her life for so long:

"It has been a big part of my life for a long time. It was a tough decision to walk away, for sure. Also, it was very emotional. I had to look at it logically and make the best decision for me and my family. Fortunately, it was the right time for me to move on and do something different. I want to try some new things and give myself a lot more free time to be with my family. Luckily, the 'DAYS' family was so understanding of it, and sent me off wishing me the best. However, it's been hard to go."

While we may have seen the last of Sami in Salem, expect Sweeney to be back at her former soap home to direct more episodes, as well as directing another episode of ABC Daytime's "General Hospital." Aside from directing and being an actress, Sweeney also is an author, and has written two non-fiction ("The Mommy Diet;" "All the Days of My Life (So Far)") and two fiction ("Scared Scriptless;" "The Star Attraction") books. She also is the host of the hit NBC reality series, "The Biggest Loser." Alison gave her thoughts on seeing the contestants on the reality series try to achieve their goals and want to better their lives:

"It's so motivating and inspiring to be with them, and see them fight for want they want and get their health back. They even make little changes along the way to slowly regain their health. Unfortunately, it IS a hard road. It's so easy to slip off the path and end up overeating, or slow down on your workouts. One day leads to the next and you find yourself overweight. Fighting to get your health back is a really hard journey. To watch them claw away at that, get their health back, and conquer it is really spectacular."

As we celebrate Sami's last days in Salem, we spoke more with Ali about our favorite Samantha Gene moments, as well as more on "The Biggest Loser."

We want to know...what were some of YOUR favorite Sami moments since her 22 years in Salem? We at THE BUZZ would love to hear them!

Hard to believe that it has been seven years since we first began the Internet podcast, "BuzzWorthy Radio." On November 5, 2007, I literally had no idea what was going to happen, and what would later transpire from this little show. I have had the chance to speak with many people whom I loved and admired for so many years. However, what I continue to love about this is the interactions I share with many on social media. I have come to meet new people because of Twitter, Facebook, Instagram due to this venture, and it brought us all together sharing a love for what we all love: television.

When we first started "BuzzWorthy Radio," it highly centered around daytime soap television. Now, as "The Buzzcast," we have been able to bring not just daytime to the show, but even branch out to primetime television. Also, we even now have started to do more with publishing posts on a website platform where it doesn't just deal with podcast episodes. The reach continues to broaden each and every day. I, for one, couldn't be happier.

This week, we had the chance to celebrate seven years of the Buzzcast with some memories of my hosting not just this show, but a previous BlogTalkRadio show, "In the Zone Radio," with TVSource Magazine Editor, Ryan White-Nobles. A lot has changed since we first hosted a show together, but it made us better in our areas of expertise, and I would not change that.

Joining us for the star-studded event included soap fan faves of TV and Internet including:

Ricky Paull Goldin (ex-Jake, "All My Children," ex-Gus, "Guiding Light")

TV Guide Magazine's Michael Logan

Melody Thomas Scott (Nikki, "The Young and the Restless")

Katie Caprio (Bianca, "DeVanity")

Maura West (Ava, "General Hospital")

Martha Madison (ex-Belle, "Days of our Lives")

I really cannot say enough for everyone who has followed the show for the past seven years. Thank YOU all for being a part of this, whether it is the podcast or on social media, I couldn't possibly do this without the love and support you have shown me. Not to mention I love what I do. I think that counts for something, right? To the guests who called in for the show, past/present/future, you all are amazing. I appreciate you all.

Here is to seven more years!
