On Days of Our Lives, Kristian Alfonso has played on-screen mother to Jason Cook, who portrayed Shawn Douglas Brady from 1999-2001. She recently talked about him on the official show website.

"I haven't spoken to Jason in a while. I miss him dearly. I miss working with him and socializing with him. He's a great guy and extremely talented," the actress said.

When Jason left the role of Shawn, blue-eyed hunk Brandon Beemer (pictured) stepped in.

"Brandon is a wonderful guy and a delight to work with," Alfonso said.
