Soap Opera Digest:
Victoria Konefal, who joined DAYS as Ciara Brady in 2017, has announced that she is leaving the soap as a full-time cast member. Her exit comes on the heels of her on-screen mother, Kristian Alfonso (Hope), revealing she was done at the show, and Greg Vaughan (Eric) sharing that he is done, too. In a statement to Deadline.com, Konefal explained, “I cherish every moment I have spent working on Days of Our Lives. It is an honor and a privilege to work in an environment filled with so much talent and passion in every direction. The experience and knowledge I¹ve accumulated over the past three years is irreplaceable, and I¹m forever grateful for it. I would love the opportunity to continue working with my castmates in the future, but at this time I will not be returning as a full-time cast member. To the cast and crew, it was an absolute pleasure working with you. To the loving and unwaveringly supportive fans, thank you. Thank you for joining me on my journey of finding Ciara Brady. It was a beautiful one. Cheers to some of the best days of my life.”
We knew this one was coming as well. I guess this makes it 8 official exits. Galen, Chandler, Freddie, Kristian, Camila, Olivia, Greg and Victoria. Now’s the time for them to bring back some old time favorites if they have a little more budget.

Apparently there are two more exits to come and they are a big couple??? All I saw on Twitter is that the fans (stans as they called them) of these two are going to lose their minds.

Has her departure been confirmed yet? Last I saw on here it was rumored. How many couples are even left to consider? There's John and Marlena, Lani and Eli, Steve and Kayla and Victor and Caroline. Am I missing anyone who hasn't been announce as leaving yet? Do Abby and Chad count, with the news of Marci coming back? |

Yeah not a lot of couples left. Nothing confirmed about Lauren leaving yet.
It's not SN/MBE because they did that interview with Ron Carlavati recently talking about what is coming up and returning to filming.
J/J, Elani, Chabby, Sarah/Xander...one of them I guess.
I don't think the DHs are leaving and Eric Martsolf is not leaving either.
Seems to me like a lot of these actors are pissed they let the whole cast go. I just find it odd so many people are leaving. Something must have gone down.

I wouldn’t be surprised if Jack and Jennifer are the next to go. I just have a feeling that the reason Melissa Reeves firing on TV Line was retracted is because maybe she actually decided to quit the show herself? I can’t see a major fan being overly upset if Eli and Lani or Xander and Sarah are leaving. Maybe Deidre and Drake? It’s becoming more and more like “Revolving Doors Of Our Lives.”

I hate to say it but I suspect it's J&J or they cut Billy Flynn and Marci Miller already.
I also wouldn't be surprised if it was Sarah and Xander leaving. But I like Xander so I hope he stays.

OK based on the comments on this thread, pretty sure the two exits are Matt Ashford and Missy Reeves...

Here's some added info: Both Paul Telfer and Linsey Godfrey confirmed on Twitter that they're still with the show and have no plans on going anywhere.
Apparently the two people both quit. In my mind, that effectively takes JnJ off the table. No way Matt Ashford quits. Ditto the DHs, they're not quitting. It would seem to only leave us with Sal and Lamon, but... there are some in the know on DR who seem to not believe there is any departing couple and that as far as they've been told at, the moment, that's the last of them... although who knows what changes by September 1.

I stay updated via mags and online, but this is a little messed up. |

I can't see SS and LA quitting but who knows. That Alan guy seems to be in the know and has followers that are in the know. Someone on there said GV was leaving before it was announced, and that is where i heard about Lauren Koslow leaving which I am still not sure is true. I don't want it to be MA but I won't be surprised at this point if he and MR quit. All I have learned is that there are two more to come, but some say it's a couple so who knows anymore. Here's some added info: Both Paul Telfer and Linsey Godfrey confirmed on Twitter that they're still with the show and have no plans on going anywhere. Apparently the two people both quit.

As much as I like to see racial diversity on DOOL, I’m so bored with Lani and Eli. I like their characters on their own but they’re an extremely boring couple. So, I’d be fine with them leaving. I’d love to see Theo come back. I just hope that Jack and Jennifer didn’t quit. Even though they don’t get used well on the show anymore, it would be such a big blow to the legacy of the Horton family. It’s already going to be strange not having Hope on the show anymore. Even though she hasn’t had a decent storyline in years, she was just such a fixture on this show. Well, filming resumes in just over a month, if they’re able to, do I guess we’ll hear very soon.

The show has certainly gotten away from the core of the Hortons and the Bradys.
I really like Lamon Archey as Eli and I think Eli is one of the better new characters they have brought on the show in the last decade. I like Lani too. I thought the scenes when they were arresting the guy that had Gabi and she had morning sickness and barfed were really cute/funny. Happy couples are usually boring. I do hope they stick around though. I'm enjoying their interactions with Julie and Doug too.
