Brandon Beemer Dishes about Days Return

Getting invited back to DAYS to be the pivotal force in uncovering that Princess Gina has been masquerading as Hope has been rewarding for Brandon Beemer (Shawn).

“It’s a lot of fun to feel that you’re needed for something specifically, as opposed to just going in for exposition or something,” notes the actor. “It’s nice when you actually have some activity. And Rafe and Shawn do team up together to figure out how to get rid of Princess Gina and make sure that nobody gets harmed in the process.”

Beemer’s always up for another go at the soap when he’s asked to resurrect Shawn. “I love coming back. I love working on the show,” he says. “I started there in 2006, and so many people at DAYS are kind of like family. They’re good friends and family. It’s always nice to go back and see people; especially when I have a storyline like this one.”

This return also presented a new twist: It’s the first time Beemer has gotten to work with his TV mom, actress Kristian Alfonso, as Hope’s alter-ego, Gina. “That was fun,” enthuses Beemer. “We were talking about the things that she gets to bring to Princess Gina. I think she even discovered more things to bring to her, this being the third time around [she’s played her]. It was good to see Kristian get to have fun with that character. Gina is also a fun character to watch and be able to work with.”
