From Soap Opera Digest:
Precious Way, who debuted as DAYS’s Chanel in March, 2021, has been recast, confirms a show spokesperson. Raven Bowens assumed the role of Paulina’s daughter on April 1 and will first air on July 6. Bowens’s credits include INSECURE, ALL RISE, MR. STUDENT BODY PRESIDENT and THE NEW EDITION STORY. Jason47 first reported the news on his Facebook page.
I hope she will be better than Precious Way. I thought she was horrible and irritating. I say good riddance! But then, I don’t care for the character at all and think that Paulina is too old to have such a young daughter. Granddaughter would be more believable. I like Jackee, but I’m finding Paulina to be too over the top. Comic relief has always been a great addition to Days, but only when it’s done well with characters like Eugene, Calliope and Eileen Davidson’s cast of crazy characters like Susan, James and Sister Mary Moira.

I like Paulina and I like that the show has added more diversity. I am curious to see what happens with the town square stuff - I actually think it's an interesting story. The Hortons are so beloved in Salem and an outsider is coming to shake things up.
I thought Precious Way was really pretty and I enjoyed elements of her portrayal, however, she was THE SAME in every scene. Same tone, same pace of speaking, same facial expressions. So her one-noteness got irritating after a while. So I am looking forward to the recast. I thought to myself watching the other day that Chanel was not the best actress.
Jackee is 64 IRL, so if Chanel is in her early 20s, then Paulina had her later in life, which is totally feasible since she is a career woman. I don't think she is too old to be her mom.

Jackee is only 64? Wow! She looks older to me. She’s great and I adore her. I loved the 227 reference she made the other day. I just hope that she isn’t too over the top because she can act and is a great addition to the show. I just can’t help but wait for her to break out of character and say “Mary!”

OMG YES!!! I love her so much and have such fond memories of her on 227.
I like the energy she brings. I hope the NuChanel works out as well.
