In between Casey Moss’ stints at Days of our Lives, the Peacock sudser lost the incomparable Drake Hogestyn (John Black) and gained a new co-executive producer in long-term toiler Janet Drucker.

Casey Moss Reflects On Return Trip To Salem

During a recent sit-down with Michael Fairman, the much loved (and much missed) actor termed Hogesty “probably everything you aspire and hope to be as a person in the entertainment industry,” and added:

“It never got to his head, and he was always respectful. When I got off the show, and in a nutshell, I was kinda stupid with how I went about my finances just like every young kid, or at least the majority. I had to get a job at a restaurant in Malibu…The restaurant happened to be the one in Malibu that Drake frequented. I was serving him one time, and it was amazing how he treated me. He did the exact same hand-on-the-shoulder thing he does, and gave me a big hug in front of his family, and then he told me a story…Drake’s going to be very, very missed.”

What’s Next For JJ?

On the recent upheaval that saw Albert Alaar terminated and Janet Drucker promoted to his former position, Moss relayed: “Janet, being the head here now — and I’ve seen this set, you know, less than other people, but more than others for the past decade –, this set is so healthy. People that are here want to be here and want to do their best work. This is the healthiest set I’ve seen. Everyone loves each other…the type of environment that she’s created on this set is just magical.”

And while JJ’s current stint is soon set to wrap, Moss has been hard at work, churning out scenes that will our screens in mid-2025 — scenes that are sure to please fans…not that he can tease very much. “I hate saying this, but you guys are gonna have to watch and tune in [to find out what’s in store]!” Color us MIGHTILY intrigued!
