Days Of Our Lives Newcomer Thia Megia Talks Playing Haley Chen and Making Music in Salem

Thia Megia was all smiles when she talked about her new role as Haley in Days of Our Lives, in an interview with Soap Opera Digest. Megia recalled that she had to ask Casey Moss to look her in the eye for about one minute as suggested by her acting coach, Steven Anderson. He believed that this will help her feel at ease and connected to her acting partner, Casey, who played JJ.

She managed to muster the courage to ask him for a staredown but it didn’t last that long. Both of them ended up laughing, which helped break the ice. At that point, it was obvious that the two had a connection and of course, having great chemistry with your partner is extremely important. So those at the helm decided to hire her.

Megia takes on the role of Haley an undocumented nurse who meets JJ after a suicide attempt. She has nothing but praises for her screen partner. She said, “It’s always a good time working with Casey. He’s absolutely hilarious. It’s really easy to feel at ease when you’re on set with him. It’s also, honestly, like having your own personal rock concert because he’s always singing. So we have that in common.”

Days may be her first time to take on a role for a TV soap, but Megia has been performing in front of an audience since she was little. She competed on America’s Got Talent and American Idol. She’s been making her mark in the singing industry but aside from that, she wanted to pursue acting as well.

She’s been taking acting classes up until she nabbed the role in Days. She’s thankful for getting the job but also feels intimidated because she’s working with seasoned actors. Now, that she’s been with the soap for a few months, she’s started to acclimate to her daytime role. She also said that she’s been having a lot of fun with the team and loves what she is doing.
