These two haven't been formally announced but according to Twitter/DR/elsewhere they're done deals. Camila Banus and Victoria Konefal are also both out. Sounds like VK left of her own accord and CB was let go.

So at this point it's just going to be the John and Marlena show? I know they have a fairly sizable cast, and there are still plenty remaining on canvas, but somehow it's seemingly like there's hardly going to be anyone left.
I could have sworn Camilla's departure had been announce with some of the others. I'm not positive on that, but it seems really familiar; and I feel like that might have been something I saw her talking with Freddie about on his podcast, shortly after it was announced he was let go.
It's hard to care too much, given how lousy the writing for Gabbi has been.
Victoria's a little bit of a surprise, especially being her decision - although even that can be a relative thing. I have mixed feelings about it, because she wasn't doing a terrible job, and I didn't strictly mind Ciara with Ben (with the caveat that they needed do a better job cleaning up the fact that he was a flipping serial killer.....). But on other hand, like so many other characters, they just never seemed to know what to do with her. And now with Hope leaving, this only further diminishes what's left of the Horton/Brady presence with Hope's daughter being gone. I think Shawn is said to be coming back, but it's probably not long term, because it never is anymore.
What does that mean for Ben? Or they going to recast Ciara again?

Apparently at the moment RSW hasn't gone anywhere and Ciara has not been recasted. But then, everything's been on hold so maybe a recast is in the cards they just haven't had the opportunity to get to it. Not sure who Ben would go with otherwise? Gwen? Allie? Yeah, does feel like a lot of exits, and certainly the show can't just be J&M, J&J and S&K eating at restaurants being happy. But we do have some big returns on the horizon like Philip and Chloe and there could be more that we don't know about. And, then, y'know, the likes of Xander and Sarah, Nicole and Eric, Brady and Kristen, Chad and Marci's Abby, etc. |

Wow! I’m just really surprised about Camila. I thought I had read that she was leaving the show in the Fall but that it was short term. I mean, why bring Stefan back if you’re going to get rid of Gabi?
Also, I also read recently that Freddie and Chandler May be back pretty soon. Sounded like they were just giving them a rest for a while like they are with Stacy.

That's surprising about VK. She has such major screen time. I'm not sorry to see CB go. Nothing against the actress but I can't stand Gabi and her antics.
I am wondering if a few things are happening here:
1. During this break the writers have had more time/less pressure to think of story lines and they are retooling a lot of things.
2. With the shooting break, and then the Covid shutdown, essentially the entire cast was "let go" from my understanding. So the show likely tried to renegotiate a lot of contracts to save on money and we are now seeing the casualties of these - people who didn't want to take a pay cut being let go and people who said, see ya I am out. I'm certain they approached KA about a salary adjustment since hers was so high and they let her craft an "it's time for me to move on" narrative when she refused.

Apparently Lauren Koslow is also leaving... Whoa, really? I hadn't seen that, where'd you get that? About time, if so. Nothing against Lauren, or her portrayal of Kate, but she hasn't felt like a relevant character to be on this show in years. Without a bunch of her kids on canvas, it's just this unending saga of her scheming to get this job or that. |

Someone in the thread of the guy who broke VK leaving on Twitter...said LK is leaving and there is more. Alan Sarapa...someone commented on his post about how there are more to come.
Someone speculated Greg Vaughan is out too.

Okay, seriously, who the hell is going to actually be left? They should just start a list of who all will actually be remaining, because it seems like that might turn out to be a shorter list.

This is nuts! It’s like half the cast will be gone. Who will be left? Jack and Jennifer and Steve and Kayla. I love these characters but they don’t actually have much going on in the show. Marlena and John just seem to be sidelined as well.
Will Arianne stick around if Greg leaves? Maybe she’ll reunite with Brady? Again?
Basically we’ll just have Chad, fake-Abigail, Ben, Stefan, Lani and Eli left in the younger set. That’s pathetic if you’re trying to get the important 18-49 aged crowd.
I think this is the final nail in the coffin for DOOL. Unless they’re planning on bringing back Sami, EJ, Carrie, Austin, Belle and Shawn back, then there’s really nothing left.

I just assume with letting the cast go they have to hire everyone back so they are trying to save as much money as they can and most of the actors are like screw this I'm out.

I'm not too worried about it. The GV and LK thing aren't very official, and honestly, I wouldn't miss either of them. Really, most of the departures this year aren't people I'm going to miss all that much. I think the cast kind of needed a shake up.

I really like GV but once he and Nicole are married I can see them being backburnered.
I don't mind the shake ups, but they are getting rid of people who are busy on screen ATM so it will be weird to see how they just shift to new stories/characters.
Not addressing why Hope is gone will be extremely bizarre. From everything I've read, KA did not film an exit.
