Who's Going
Days of our Lives

Find out what he had to say about his exit here .
Patrika Darbo (Nancy Miller): Darbo has wrapped her short stint, which centered around Nancy bringing her younger daughter, Joy ( AlexAnn Hopkins ), to town.
Serena Scott Thomas (Fiona Cook): The actress who plays Xander's ( Paul Telfer ) mother who mowed down Sarah ( Linsey Godfrey ) with her car while drunk has wrapped up her run on the show. The actress told Digest that Fiona was "honestly probably the most fun role I’ve ever had. Fiona, in spite of all her failings, is in a strange sort of way — even though she lies and covers things up — authentically herself. There are flashes of authenticity, which I just thought was so great, because alcoholics, people with mental illness, and people with those kind of problems, are not all bad. They’re ill."
Greg Vaughan (Eric Brady): Now that Brady ( Eric Martsolf ) has been cleared of responsibility in the hit-and-run accident that caused Sarah ( Linsey Godfrey ) to be paralyzed, Eric will leave town to return to Paris on Tuesday, October 29 — but according to Digest sources, Eric will make more appearances down the line.
