Who’s Going:

Christopher took to Facebook to announce his exit from Days of Our Lives. He said, “I left Days of our Lives several months ago because I booked a role as a series regular for a new show coming to Amazon Prime [the faith-based series It’s Not Like That] in 2026. Days of our Lives was such a dream set to work on. I started on this beloved soap when I was just 4. How lucky am I that I got to call it my home for almost 6 years!? I have been so blessed to always be busy working but because of that I couldn’t be in two places at once and I had to leave the show to go work on other projects.”
He revealed that he continued to cherish the memories of the show and appreciated working with Billy Flynn’s Chad. He added, “I can’t say where Thomas’s story leads, and I don’t know! so you’ll have to continue to tune in! I’m next on as Thomas DiMera on Oct 22nd and Oct 31st.” (via Soap Opera Digest)
