Background
Paige was born on May 29, 1995 and would grew up with her single mother Eve Donovan. Her father would later be revealed to be Eduardo Larson; which would make Rafe, Arianna, Dario and Gabi her half-siblings.
2014-15
In early 2014, Paige Larson arrives in Salem without her mother, Eve Donovan (Kassie DePaiva), and quickly develops a connection to JJ Deveraux (Casey Moss). Upon Eve's arrival back to Salem, Paige's relationship with J.J. begins to hit a hard spot, ultimately ending with them parting ways multiples times. She becomes close to another guy, Cole Hines (Riley Bodenstab), and asks him out on a date, which he accepts. After their date, Paige meets up with J.J. at the park, where he apologizes profusely and asks for a second chance. She forgives him, leading them to reconcile. Cole finds her at the park watching Parker play and tells her that J.J. will hurt her and that she deserves better, but when he sees that she's not listening to him, he leaves. He then works with her mother Eve to break J.J. and Paige up. Cole plants drugs in J.J.'s backpack to frame him. When Paige realizes what Cole has done, she angrily confronts him. At first he denies the accusations, but then Cole tells her how amazing she is and that she deserves better. Paige tells him to stay away from her and J.J. before leaving.
Paige would find out that her mother and J.J. had an affair and Jennifer Horton knew about it and reveals it at her surprise nineteenth birthday party, on May 21. She becomes very cynical and wants nothing to do with them. Paige begins a relationship with Kyle to make J.J. jealous, not knowing that he is a drug dealer and that J.J. works for him; however the relationship would later end.
Paige and J.J. begin to reconnect the following month. She becomes a witness to the Chad and Serena fight and would reveal what she saw, since Serena would later be found murdered. Since they become close again, Paige is the first person J.J. tells about the Clyde/drug ring and was sworn not to involve the police. In early September, she would retell what she saw to Rafe and exchanges words with Chad, who doesn't remember what happened after the fight, and calls J.J. afterward; Paige had something to tell him, however when J.J. arrives at her dorm, he finds her in the shower with a tie loosely around her neck.
Paige is pronounced dead, much to the horror of J.J. and Eve who apologises to Paige over her body. Chad Dimera is mentioned as the prime suspect due to the fact that a flower found near the crime scene can only be found at the DiMera mansion and Chad can't remember where he was when Paige was murdered.
