And so it begins! I’ve been hearing that there will be several exits coming up on “Days.” I think that Camila is a great daytime actress and probably has a lot of potential for other projects. So, I’m happy for her. Plus, I think it’s time to give Gabi a rest. Here’s the article:
Camila Banus, the Emmy-nominated actress who has played Gabi Hernandez on “Days of Our Lives” for 13 years, has decided to leave the Peacock soap to “start the next chapter” of her life, she tells TheWrap exclusively.
Her last shoot day was April 28, but her last airdate is many, many months down the line.
“There’s definitely been a lot of changes at ‘Days,’ the last couple of years, one being moving to Peacock. Although it’s been wonderful and we’ve had a super great reception, for me, I felt like that was kind of like the initial start for changes happening in general. And I kind of just saw that as a sign for me to start the next chapter in my life,” she said.
That chapter includes having a baby with her partner of over a decade and husband of less than two years, Marlon Aquino. “My husband and I are trying to start a family, hopefully,” she said. “And that’s another big factor in possibly just slowing down for a little bit and seeing kind of where this time takes me. But I’m also open to other opportunities and ready for big things. I’m just ready for something different.”

I just saw this on Facebook. I also saw a separate post related to the new writers strike; noting that Days has episodes filmed through November... 🙄

Hmmm not surprised by this news, but also totally fine with it. I have nothing against Camila, she's great in the role, but I can't stand Gabi and I'm ready for her to be gone.

I just hope that this doesn’t include firing Brandan Barash as Stefan. He really is great in the role and can have a lot of potential even without Gabi. They could even recast the role but I think with the upcoming budget cuts, that won’t happen.

The only good thing about this writer's strike is maybe Days can close the gap on air dates. Filming stuff 6 months ahead is brutal.
I like BB also but I don't like how entitled Stefan is.
