Alex Shipp wrapped up run as Marybeth today.

[Jason47]

Alex Shipp wraps run as Marybeth; has starring roles in two TV movies debuting in the next few weeks.

Alex Shipp wrapped up her run as Marybeth in today's episode. The actress left "Days" to star as Aaliyah in Lifetime's upcoming movie about the late singer. Shipp's starring role in "Aaliyah: The Princess of R&B" premieres Saturday, November 15 at 8PM on Lifetime. Shipp's other TV movie, "Drumline: A New Beat", where she plays a lead role, premieres this coming Monday, October 27 at 9PM on VH1. Best of luck to Shipp in the future. No word yet if the role of Marybeth has been recast.

Perhaps they will let Paige discover how Marybeth has been in on Eve trying to scam her!? It could make for a good exit.

 

[jgk]

Should this thread be in the Crystal Ball??

 

[Sparkster]

According to Jason's post today was her last airdate. No word on a recast. So I think it's fine to stay in Daily Days.

Too bad she didn't tale Paige with her........

 

[Sparkster]

......and Eve.....

 

[missharleyquinn]

Ha, I knew that the Aaliyah movie had been recast, knew Alex Shipp was taking over the role... Had no idea she was Mary Beth. She looks so much different on the show than in the promo pictures/modeling shots I've seen of her.

I can't wait for the Aaliyah movie. From what I've seen in previews, she rocks the part. I hope they have Missy Elliott play herself in it if they even touch on their closeness.

 

[Daysdegrassi]

My grandma saw her in that promo and I'd heard rumors she was done taping at Days. Guess this is why, I'll have to tell her tomorrow.

 

[Poirot]

I had read several months ago that she was done taping, but did not know when her last air dates would be. Too bad she did not tell Paige about the conspiracy with Eve. However, Paige did mention how MaryBeth suddenly claimed to need to go the hospital, but nothing was wrong with her arm. MaryBeth bristled and said it really hurt....maybe Paige will get a lightbulb moment soon. Doubt it, but it could happen. LOL

 

[Heather4CU]

I guess going to the hospital is the new version of going to mail a letter

 

[Poirot]

LOL, Heather.....Paige mentioned MaryBeth needing to go to the hospital on the night JJ was drugged, pictures taken, etc. She noted MaryBeth "needed to go there" just before all this stuff happened with JJ.

 

[SarahBeth]

Too bad she didn't tale Paige with her........

She outshined Paige. If I were casting for something and saw those two in a scene together I'd ask who the actress playing Mary Beth was and not give the actress playing Paige any thought as she does NOT do anything to grab my attention.

 

[WhizGidget]

Well, that's too bad. Maybe she'll come back to Salem as a different, better, character. I didn't really like her scheming with Eve, but I did enjoy her being all snooty about JJ.

 

[JasonDíSpeech]

She was one of the characters I would have liked to see develop beyond a one-note. Sadly, this will not come to pass.

 

[katmouse]

I have no idea who Aaliyah was


Here's a short promo for the movie.

 

[Just Samantha]

She was a young singer killed in a plane crash.

 

[lonewriter]

I hope Marybeth will not be recast and that mean girl never comes back to Salem. As for the actress, she did a great job playing mean girl Marybeth but I will not miss this character.

 

[gramcracker]

This is about Marybeth, but if you put Paige and Jordan in a bowl and stirred it, you wouldn't know who was who. Totally uninteresting.
