Days Of Our Lives News – Is Tyler Christopher Set To Return To The Soap?

‘DOOL’ spoiler news about Barash has left fans wondering, is Christopher set to return to the NBC daytime drama? It is highly unlikely that the daytime drama will write Stefan out. ‘DOOL’ films up to six months in advance, which makes it possible that writers could end the front burner storylines for Stefan.

If Tyler Christopher were to return, how would ‘DOOL’ writers make the transition from Barash back to Christopher as Stefan? ‘Days of Our Lives’ spoilers reported previously that Stefan is right in the middle of a huge story arc.

Christopher opened up about his exit from ‘DOOL’ not long after his departure. He explained that though his time as Stefan was nothing short of pure fun, he had personal reasons that made it difficult for him to continue on in the role at that time.

    Yes, very much so. Wish they had reconsidered since Stefan is in this big storyline with Gabi and I love these two characters. But, of course, the fan’s feelings are not considered by these writers!

  2. Guest says

    YES! I really got to like Brandon, he’s a great actor. He will truly be missed. Love him and Gabi together!

  3. Guest says

    I will miss Brandon Barash. He makes a better DiMara than Tyler Christopher.
    Hate Gabi Hate Christin

  4. Guest says

    Yes, but if Brandon Barash has prior commitments, please recast Stefan’s character. Gabi and Stefan’ make an excellent pair. There is so much great writing for these two that still needs to written. Do not end this pairing.

  5. Guest says

    Brandon &Camila are dynamic on screen together sad to think of this duo not playing Stefan &Gabi they connect.

  6. Guest says

    I don’t want him to leave and all my soap opera friends feel the same way and there are a lot of them! Brandon brought that character to life and there is no one who will have the chemistry with Gabi like he does that would be like breaking up Chad and Abby you put them together now we love them fix the problem!!!!!!

  7. beebee says

    yes, I’ll miss Brandon, but he misses his wife and kids who are residing in Indiana and he as an actor is in LA where DOOL is filmed, so this time it is not the writers fault, but Brandon Barash’s decision to leave DOOL for family matters. With that being said I do hope the writers find a replacement actor to play the role of Stephen, anyone will do as I’m liking the Gabi-Stephen characters together, they bring fire type of romance that is much needed on DOOL

  8. Guest says

    No,bb Brandon’s family doesn’t reside in Indiana, Tyler Christopher’s did. Brandon has a little girl with fellow L.A actor Kristen Storms. It doesn’t state why he would be leaving, whether on his own terms or the shows. He made a great Stephan and he would be great coming back to GH as Johnny as well.

  9. Guest says

    yes

  10. Guest says

    NOOOOOO

  11. Guest says

    This show has no stability. The storylines are so far fetched they need to keep continuity with the actors. Getting close to spending my time with another show

  12. Guest says

    I love Stefan and Gabi together! Which really surprised me! I liked seeing them happy .I think Brandon really killed it in this role. I would be very disappointed if he leaves

  13. beebee says

    thank you for clarifying that!!

  14. Guest says

    I WILL MISS STEFAN HE WORKS WILL WITH GABI AND WITH BEN.

  15. Guest says

    Such a disappointment!!!!! The chemistry between Christopher & Gabi cant be recast. /big mistake by the writers & producers.

  16. Guest says

    Absolutely not!!!! Wish he was taking his wife with him!!! They could go on a long honeymoon far, far away from Salem!

  17. Guest says

    Yes they are! The ratings are down the tubes! Obviously they aren’t as popular with most fans or the ratings would have improved by now!!

  18. Guest says

    Abby and Chad will be back soon! They will bring all the loving romance the show lacks now!
    Those two evil sociopaths, Gabi and Stefan, can leave together and never come back! It would be an improvement!

  19. Guest says

    I CAN’T TO SEE IF THERE IS A TWIN OF STEFAN THAT WOULD BE A STORY LINE UP THE CHARTS.

  20. Guest says

    CAN’T BLAME THE WRITERS FOR EXITING SOME CIARATURES. THE WRITERS SHOULD HAVE KEPT REX BECAUSE IF SARAH IS PREGNANT AND REX MIGHT BE THE DAD HO WOULD WANT TO KNOW. THE WRITERS SHOULD STOP BRING BACK THE HISTORY OF JORDAN AND CLIARE JUST MOVE ON WITH DIFFERENT STORY LINES. CIARA MAYBE PREGNANT AND A WEDDING WITH BEN. BUT DON’T INVITE JORDAN OR CLAIRE TO THE WEDDING.

  21. Guest says

    STOP HAVING PEOPLE KILLED AND BRINING BACK THE OLD VILLIANS. LIKE JORDAN, VIVAN,CLAIRE AND KRISTEN

  22. Guest says

    I THINK BEN AND STEFAN SHOULD INNER ACT A LITTLE MORE BEFORE STEFAN DIES. I DON’T WANT STEFAN DEAD THAT WOULD MEAN BEN IS OUT OF HIS JOB AND GABI WON’T HAVE HER HUBBY.
