Days of Our Lives' Jackée Harry on Bonds With Co-Stars Carson Boatman and Raven Bowens: "I Enjoy These Young People Immensely"

On Days of Our Lives, Salem mayor Paulina (Jackée Harry) is quite. close with her younger daughter, Chanel (Raven Bowens), and Chanel's husband, Johnny (Carson Boatman). In fact, those bonds mirror the off-screen connections Harry has with her two younger co-stars. She spoke to Soap Opera Digest about her friendships with Boatman and Bowens.

One thing the duo taught her is the meaning of the phrase "cause it." What does that mean? She explained:

When you enter a room, wear something see-through, wear something tight, or wear something bond. When you cause it, you walk into a room and everybody reacts. I mean, you know swag and all that. You've got to listen to all these lyrics. It's all new to me, but they're inundating me with all kinds of things and making me feel welcome, which warms my heart. It never used to be that way.

In addition to Bowens and Boatman getting Harry acquainted with the latest slang, the three spend time together off the set. Harry said:

I went out with Carson and Raven the other day, right after work. He just had a baby, which is great. They keep me up to date on their lives. They’re real people. I went to Raven’s play. That was exciting. I saw her on stage, and she was fabulous. They’re always doing things. Raven took me to the opera, but I don’t know about that. Four hours! I had a long dress on and everything. Between that and going to see Wicked, I was done. I was like, ‘I’m in for the night.’ But I enjoy these young people immensely. I really like them, and it’s not fake. Sometimes you have to [fake it] with your coworkers, but with them it’s easy peasy.
