The Week of July 7, 2025

Eva LaRue has wrapped up her run as Natalia Ramirez. Her character died after ingesting a lethal dose of pills and alcohol last week. LaRue debuted as Blaze’s (Jacqueline Grace Lopez) mother back in February 2024. She is perhaps best known for her role as Maria Santos Grey on All My Children.

Meanwhile, the role of Maxie Jones has been recast, albeit temporarily. Nicole Paggi, who stepped in as the character back in December 2023, is once again back on the scene.

She made her first appearance on July 3, replacing Kirsten Storms, who was unavailable for filming due to scheduling conflicts. The casting switch is expected to be short term.

Finn Carr is back as Rocco Falconeri. Look for Dante (Dominic Zamprogna) and Lulu’s (Alexa Havins) to make a bold move on Friday, July 11.
