James Lastovic Joins 'Days of our Lives' as Joey Johnson

Days of our Lives has released the first photo James Lastovic (Joey) with his onscreen parents Mary Beth Evans (Kayla) and Stephen Nichols (Steve).

James Lastovic has joined the cast of Days of our Lives as Joey Johnson, the now-teenage son of Kayla (Mary Beth Evans) and Steve (Stephen Nichols, who is returning to the show). Born in Salem on May 16, 2008, Joey moved to Africa with his parents in February 2009. He returned with Kayla in December 2011 but has rarely been seen.

The casting notice for Joey described the character as "a 16-year-old, gorgeous Causcasian male who struggles with resentment and abandonment issues."

Lastovic signed a two-year contract with Days of our Lives and will debut in late summer.
