Days of Our Lives actress Cherie Jiminez recently opened up about what she really thinks about her character, the one and only Gabi Hernandez DiMera. Keep reading below for everything you need to know.
Speaking to Soap Opera Digest in a new interview, the stunning actress admitted that it’s always tough playing a character that also happens to be a recast.
Not only that, but she was also well aware of the fact that DOOL fans loved actress Camila Banus in the role before Cherie took over.
She put it this way, “I got to see some of what she’d done [on YouTube], and I loved it, too. I was like, ‘Oh, wow. She’s got spice. She’s got fire.’ But I am my own person. I am not Camila at the end of the day.”
“I want to give the fans what they want, so I’m grabbing elements of what Camila brought to the character. That was my first focus coming into it, making sure that they still have all of the elements of who Gabi Hernandez is, but also I’m not her.”
“So I’m going to do it completely different in the sense of just myself as a person and myself as an actor with my own mannerisms.”
Cherie also added that it’s been quite easy playing one part of the sexy couple of Gabi and Stefan with actor Brandon Barash.
She explained, “When I first walked up to him and looked into his eyes… I felt like a past life thing is the best way that I can describe it. Everything is just so connected. Our back and forth is so effortless, so seamless and so beautiful.”
“He’s such an incredible actor, and working with him has been the absolute best. I’ve told him, ‘You make me a better actor every time I step on set with you.’ There’s just something about us being together on set. I can’t help but give it my all every single time and feel really connected.”
Of course, fans will have to tune in each and every day to find out what will happen next. Days of Our Lives airs weekdays on the Peacock streaming network.
