She has been trying every way possible to keep her daughter away from her boyfriend, and now, Eve (Kassie DePaiva) has found herself the perfect plan on Days of Our Lives.

JJ and Paige Continue Dating In Secret

She managed to whisk Paige (True O'Brien) out of town and away from JJ (Casey Moss) by using her sick father as an excuse-and now, Eve will continue to manipulate the situation by using her father's health as a reason for she and Paige to not return to Salem-meaning the distance will still remain between the two young lovebirds, and will potentially cause their relationship to flounder.

Eve has been trying to keep the two apart for some time, after initially wanting them to break-up when she believed that JJ was the reason Paige decided to defer admission to Stanford for a year, in order to attend Salem University with him. However, after JJ learned the truth about his father and nearly broke things off with Paige because of it, and Eve learned she couldn't have the surgery to get back her singing career-the two slept together.

JJ Makes A Decision About His Future With Paige

Since that fateful night, Eve has continued trying to force JJ to end things with Paige so they could protect her from the horrible thing they did-but instead he chose to convince Paige that they should continue their relationship entirely in secret-which Eve figured out very quickly.

Now that she has Paige out of town, Eve will continue trying to keep things going her way-and in the process, may succeed in getting exactly what she wants.

Days of Our Lives airs Monday-Friday at 1 p.m. on NBC.
