‘Days of Our Lives’ (DOOL) spoilers find that star Raven Bowens (Chanel Dupree) admits that the moment she was recast as the new Chanel in Salem, things have been a “rollercoaster” for her. But that hasn’t stopped her from hitting the ground running in her new role. Here’s what she has to say!
“They called on my birthday, which was crazy,” she told Soap Opera Digest in a new interview. “We closed the deal the day after. They sent me five scripts that day. I had to finish shooting [in New York] — I think I had two more days — and then I flew back to L.A. I had to change my hair, get everything together because it was a recast so they needed certain matchups and things like that. I literally hopped on a plane, was learning lines on the plane, had one day of being in L.A. before I started filming on DAYS. My first day, I think I did something like 29 scenes. It was wild. Wild. I had to go in doing everything that I’ll probably ever have to do. My first scenes, I come in bawling, so I was like, ‘Okay, well, that will get me really comfortable with everybody real quick.’”

With that said though, Raven admits that it didn’t take very long for her to get to know her new co-stars on the set of ‘Days of Our Lives’. In fact, she says that it was quite easy to bond with everyone, and especially with Jackee Harry, who plays Paulina Price on the hit show.
She said, “I grew up watching SISTER, SISTER over and over, so I was really excited to meet her and work with her. Everything went so, so fast but she was so supportive. The first day we had no time to talk and then the next day, I was like, ‘I’m sorry. We didn’t get any time to talk,’ and she’s like, ‘No, no, no. You’re focused and I love it.’ She’s very sweet.”
Raven also admits it’s been nothing but fun with Lucas Adams (Tripp Dalton) and Lindsay Arnold (Allie Horton). She continued, ‘They were the first people that I got to work with and they pretty much took me under their wing and showed me the ropes and prepared me. We got to run lines over FaceTime, and they were letting me in on what’s going on, what my storylines were with them. They were so gracious and helpful in helping me through the process and I feel like we just melded together really well.”
