Days News – Playing Abe Carver

It’s interesting that Reynolds is honoring someone in real life at this point in time. This is because his character on DOOL, Mayor Abe Carver, is honoring Hope Brady (Kristian Alfonso) and Steve “Patch” Johnson (Stephen Nichols) for their heroic acts in Salem.

He is also working with an interesting character, Kate Roberts DiMera (Lauren Koslow). Despite the two not exactly seeing eye-to-eye, there might be a bit of a romance brewing. We will have to keep watching the NBC soap opera to see what happens next.
