Update 4:25 p.m. – James Lastovic and his roommate Nevin Dizdari have been found. They are safe in Hawaii after getting lost on a hike, according to Nevin’s sister.
Days of our Lives alum James Lastovic has gone missing in Hawaii with his roommate, and his mom has sent out a plea for help finding them.
James played Joey Johnson, the son of Steve (Stephen Nichols) and Kayla (Mary Beth Evans), beginning in 2015 when the character was aged.
The actor was on Days for two years from 2015-2017, leaving when Joey was sent to prison for allegedly murdering Ava (Tamara Braun). James made a brief return in 2020 when Joey was released from prison after Ava was discovered alive.

The two were slated to return to Los Angeles on Monday. However, they never made their flight.
Now, James’ mother, Lucienne Lastovic, has used social media in a plea to help find her son and Nevin.
