Days Of Our Lives Comings & Goings: 4 Cast Members Fired In Shocking Shake Up Move

By Liz MeyersOn Jan 13, 2026

Days of Our Lives spoilers indicate some shocking exits are on the horizon, as four cast members have been fired from the Peacock soap. CTS has all the details below.

Goodbye Johnny, Chanel, Tate, and Holly!

As per the Daily Mail, four actors are leaving Days of Our Lives, and they also happen to be two super couples. They include Carson Boatman (Johnny DiMera), Raven Bowens (Chanel DiMera), Leo Howard (Tate Black), and Ashley Puzemis (Holly Jonas).

The only silver lining in this all is due to the show’s advanced filming schedule, fans won’t see these exits take place until late 2026 or potentially early 2027.

A Days of Our Lives spokesperson commented on the firings, stating, “While we don’t comment on individual contracts or casting decisions, we have tremendous respect and appreciation for the actors who bring these characters to life.”

They went on to say, “What may seem sudden is part of long-range storytelling decisions. Our goal is to balance the show’s rich history with where we’re headed creatively.”

The statement concluded with, “Due to our long tape-to-air gap, any changes won’t be on screen for some time.”

More On These Exit

Bowen has been on Days the longest, debuting as Chanel in March 2021, with Boatman following after the fact in August 2021. Bowen was a recast of Chanel, taking over from Precious Way.

Meanwhile, Puzemis has been playing Holly since October 2023, while Howard was also a recast, taking over the role of Tate from Jamie Martin Mann in April 2024.

There’s a lot more story to tell for these four characters, who are all struggling within their respective relationships.

As such, it’ll be interesting to see just how they end up leaving Salem – and if they end up leaving the little town together as a couple – when all is said and done.
