MEET DAYS'S ELIA CANTU
Soap Opera Digest|July 25, 2022
Elia Cantu was already familiar with DAYS before she was tapped to play Detective Jada Hunter, who makes her debut on July 19.
MEET DAYS'S ELIA CANTU

"I was a watcher from back in the day," she reports. "I watched with my sister. It started, though, with my cheer squad. I used to be a cheerleader. I was the new cheerleader on the squad and all the older cheerleaders were already watching DAYS OF OUR LIVES. They were sophisticated and grown-up [laughs].

So I started watching it. I would watch it during summer break. Then I got my sister hooked, and we would watch it together. But then when school started, I would record it and then watch it." So it was a full-circle moment for the actress when she got a callback after she sent in her selftape audition. "I went through a chemistry test and a network testing," she recalls. "There was quite a bit of back and forth. Then I received a call the next day from my agent [that I got the part]. I was super-excited. I celebrated with my dog, who was with me at the time. I was really happy in that moment. I screamed. He barked. We were jumping around in circles. He's used to my antics. He's been with me for 10 years. He's my baby. His name is Danny. I have to give him a shout-out. I don't hold my breath. I don't count my chickens before they hatch. I'm really in the moment. I don't take anything for granted or assume anything is going to happen. So I wanted to make sure this was mine. This is my role. I got it."
