Apparently it won't be for a while yet. He apparently confirmed in an interview that he's only back filming for a few weeks to film his exit storyline.
In my mind, this is a long time coming. Rafe hasn't felt particularly relevant on canvas in years. He's really someone who probably should only have ever been a short-term pairing for Sami and then moved on from when that wrapped up.

Rafe hasn't felt particularly relevant on canvas in years. He's really someone who probably should only have ever been a short-term pairing for Sami and then moved on from when that wrapped up. I can sort of see why they wanted to try an make Rafe a thing; he has a lot of the hallmarks of past mainstays that caught on, but they just kept trying to force him into any and ever conceivable situation to see what stuck and the few that might have been promising never got followed up on. I wonder if this will also lead to Gabi's departure. I imagine 6 months from now they will have already brought the whole pacemaker story to ahead and moved onto something else; particularly Stefans return. I get the impression that their screen chemistry, with the Stefano recast, was at least partly a factor in bringing him back.

At this point, I think Gabi stands on her own and has sort of eclipsed Rafe as the premier Hernandez on the show. She's sort of the Sami of 2020, and since Stefan's presumably back for her, I bet she sticks around. Of course, Camila Banus also seems like someone who might eventually try leaving and branching into primetime. She does already do the most consistent primetime work of any of the cast.

I personally think that Galen seems like a great guy. But, the character of Rafe has always been so boring for me. He actually is at his best when he’s not paired with anyone romantically. I hope he’s leaving on his own terms but sounds like he was part of the cuts that had to be made to save the show. I’m sure he was one of the higher paid actors on the show. I just wonder who Hope will be paired with since Kristian will never leave the show again until it ends.

So while Rafe is super boring, he's been on so long it will be sad to see Galen leave. I think when he was introduced in the context of Sami's FBI protector it made sense and he was interesting and I didn't mind her with him since it kept her from EJ and they were refusing to pair her with Lucas. But they said he was an orphan and then suddenly had parents and 3 siblings! It was too much.
I can't stand Gabi and I can't stand Hope so if there is any glimmer of a chance they will both leave as a result of this, I am all for it. I HATED Rafe and Hope as a couple. It made ZERO sense. Rafe has always wanted to be a dad, why would they pair him with Hope?
I suspect something will go down with Evan trying to take David away from Rafe and Rafe ends up either dying or leaving town with David to protect him? Or maybe Evan isn't David's real father and the real father comes forward and Rafe moves to California to be near David who has been given to his real dad. I don't know.

Galen Gering has been playing Rafe Hernandez on Days of our Lives since October 31, 2008. The actor recently did an interview with Cliff Dorfman, a screenwriter, film director, and actor on his podcast where they discussed Gering’s contract status at Days of our Lives. Gering says, “The fact of the matter is, I might as well say it. I don’t know how long I’m going to be on the show . . . what the next chapter holds. If I’m staying, if I’m going, I know I’m definitely going for a bit, you know what I’m saying.” When Dorfman asked if he was returning to Salem, the actor said, “Well, I have a couple weeks of shows to do,” and admitted it was to wrap things up and spread his wings. The actor is interested in writing and to become a part of directing. Soaps.com will update with his last airdate when the time comes though we believe it will be a ways away since the show has already taped up to August 2020 and they’ve returned this week to tape scenes from August onward. Galing was introduced to Days of our Lives as an FBI agent who came to Salem at the request of Roman Brady, in order to guard his daughter Sami Brady who was targeted for murder since she stumbled upon the Mayor Anthony Marion’s dead body with the killer standing over him. Rafe stayed with Sami at a safe house and the two didn’t get along right away. soaps.sheknows.com/days-of-our-lives/comings-and-goings/558975/galen-gering-shares-that-his-days-are-numbered-as-rafe-hernandez/ |

Remember that even with the two month hiatus, they're still pretty far ahead with filming. Galen probably won't be leaving until the fall, at which point I'd expect the Evan storyline will likely be long since resolved. I wouldn't be surprised if he just gets the Chloe or Tripp treatment. Randomly one day he's like "Hey, I got this great job offer to be Chief of Police in Vienna or Dubai and I'm leaving town today with David. Goodbye!"

Ah good point. Hopefully it will all be resolved soon and we will see how/zehn he’s leaving. If he is.
