Camila Banus, who played Gabi Hernandez from 2010 to 2023, cited backstage stress, a shift in the show to Peacock streaming, and a desire to honor her father's unfulfilled dreams as reasons for her departure.  DOOL saw Tyler Christopher, known for his role as Stefan DiMera, tragically struggled with alcohol addiction, which led to his dismissal from Days of Our Lives and, ultimately, his untimely death in 2023. Greg Vaughan, who portrayed Eric Brady, left the soap due to dissatisfaction with his character's storyline and screen time. Ari Zucker, who played Nicole Walker, left amid allegations of inappropriate behavior by executive producer and director Albert Alarr.  Days of Our Lives saw other key departures include Victoria Konefal, who played Ciara Brady Weston, whose decision to leave was influenced by the pandemic, and Christian Alfonso and Peter Reckell, who played Hope and Bo Brady, respectively, but left due to personal reasons. Brandon Barash, who played Stefan, was let go from the show twice, while Drake Hogestyn, known for his role as John Black, sadly passed away from pancreatic cancer in 2024.
