Hope Brady’s Journey
The DOOL fan-favorite joined the soap in 1983 and at that time, she was known as Hope Williams. Then, she got married and changed her name to Hope Brady. She had children, including one who died. She was also a police detective, commissioner, and had many huge storylines.
Alfonso did have two temporary breaks from the show, but would always return. It seems that she really is leaving for good this time.
DOOL Star Issues Statement
According to Deadline, Alfonso feels honored and blessed to be on the soap for so many years. She explained, “I feel blessed and honored to have been invited into people’s homes for over three decades. However, it is now time for me to write my next chapter.”

The fan-favorite added “I will not be returning to Days when it resumes production in September. I’ve already filmed my last episode several months ago.”
Production Resumes In September
As we previously reported, Days of Our Lives is planning to restart production on September 1, 2020. While there will be safety protocols that could change the way stories are told and how filming is done, there are other changes too.
The soap has struggled with an extremely low budget for years. The last renewal slashed their budget even further. It is speculated that is why many-core actors are leaving. Budget cuts mean expenses have to be sliced somewhere and paying actors is probably one of the biggest expenses.
Now, the COVID-19 safety measures will increase costs by an estimated 20 percent, which could hurt the soap even more.

Days of Our Lives: Will She Leave With Rafe Hernandez?
It has been hinted that Hope and Rafe Hernandez (Galen Gering) might reignite their spark. As fans recall, “Rope” didn’t quite work out. But now, things seem to be different and they might actually have a chance together. Gering’s final episode will air in September, it is indicated. Could Rafe and Hope leave Salem together? We will have to keep watching to find out.
Be sure to catch up on everything happening with DOOL right now. Come back here often for Days of Our Lives spoilers, news, and updates.
Totally shocked! I hope it was her decision and not some knuckle-headed front office move.
Me too I am speechless
will quit watching not good anymore
I hope the producers, business people don’t take so much from the show by letting veteran actors/ actresses go that we viewers decide to leave this show to the younger generation. I hate to see Kristian go. I have loved her since her early years with Bo.
If she is leaving, i hope she leaves with Rafe. Bo gave Rafe his blessing to be with Hope before he died. I hope that Rafe and Hope have their happy ending as they leave Days and they leave together. This will ease the pain a bit for fans of both Kristen Alfonso and Galen Gering being they are both leaving.
I totally AGREE! Give Rafe & Hope a loving send off, if they must go. Looks like Steve & Kayla are leaving. Adrienne is already gone. Sonny & Will have been supposed to be leaving for months now, yet they’re still around, but will likely be gone. Sarah is only good if she’s with Xander, otherwise she’s a waste. They got rid of Chloe and of Lucas… I like Eric & Nicole, I like Gabi with Stefan, or with Brandon Barash. I like Brady with Kristen. When did Eve leave? Is Jack still with Jen? Maggie still with Victor? Find someone for Roman. Maybe Kate? She was good with Roman & John before… Ben & Ciara are good, but Claire? She’s a total loon… But Salem without Hope? It’s unheard of! Plz let her & Rafe be happy together & go off into the sunset for a new life adventure together…
Ashleigh, I totally agree. My sentiments exactly. Thank you for responding to my post.
Me too
