Days of our Lives spoilers reveal that Salem is losing a whole batch of familiar faces, starting with Johnny DiMera (Carson Boatman) and Chanel Dupree (Raven Bowens). After a brutal year of Chanel's breast cancer, a surprise pregnancy and baby Olivia's birth, plus nonstop corporate chaos courtesy of Johnny's shady dad EJ, Chanel has had enough. She's now cancer free, and Johnny has cut a deal with the D.A. to rat out EJ over the Coriseal mess, so the couple is headed to Italy. Paulina Price (Jackee Harry) isn't happy about it. Both actors were fired back in January, and the exit could land by late November, though it may be closer to Christmas.
DOOL spoilers show that Tate Black (Leo Howard) and Holly Jonas (Ashley Puzemis) are also packing up after both actors were let go in January 2026. Before they go, there's the Sophia Choi (Rachel Boyd) problem to settle. Tate told his dad Brady Black (Eric Martsolf) that Holly thinks Sophia is alive. Holly and Mason Whitfield (Brandon Butler) are increasingly sure she's back in town, especially with Amy Choi (Shi Ne Nielson) acting so cagey. Once that wraps, Tate joins Holly on a holiday trip to Paris to see her mom, Nicole Walker (Arianne Zucker), and that Christmas getaway could become permanent. That may be why Rachel Black (Lorelei Olivia Mote) is crying to Brady that everyone she loves keeps leaving. First it was Kristen DiMera (Stacy Haiduk), whose run may have just an episode or two left. Then Sarah Horton (Linsey Godfrey) dumped Brady, and now Tate is going.
Days of our Lives spoilers indicate that top cop Jada Hunter (Elia Cantu) is also on the way out. Her final scenes were taped in June 2026, so she should be on screen until about spring 2027. Nobody knows yet whether Jada leaves town, gets recast or dies in the line of duty, which would leave Shawn Brady (Brandon Beemer) heartbroken. Plenty of fans want Shawn back with Belle Black (Martha Madison), and she and Chad DiMera (Conner Floyd) look headed for splitsville. Belle suggested anyone carrying the blood of Stefano DiMera (Joseph Mascolo) is a bad seed, Chad included, and she still suspects he's hot for Cat Greene (AnnaLynne McCord).
DOOL spoilers tease that Chloe Lane (Sofia Mattsson) debuts as a recast in early 2027 because the previous actress moved to Ireland. Not long after Sarah breaks Brady's heart, Chloe catches him by surprise and their passion reignites. That should be tricky for Rachel, since she's the reason Chloe walked away last time. The second recast is temporary: a young actress steps in as Rachel for four episodes in late 2027 because of a filming conflict.
Days of our Lives spoilers hint that the Orpheus bombshell hits within roughly two to eight weeks. Orpheus (George DelHoyo) is in prison orange when Steve Johnson (Stephen Nichols) and Marlena Evans (Deidre Hall) come calling, and he's expecting them. He may know how Marlena ended up in Stefano's hands. He might also have details about the origin story of Dominic Marino (Kyle Pryor), since Marlena has no memory of carrying Stefano's child.
DOOL spoilers suggest mid-2027 gets busy. Soap vet Brittany Sarpy joins in a mystery role. Then in June, Sami Brady (Alison Sweeney), Lucas Horton (Bryan Dattilo), Carrie Brady (Christie Clark) and Will Horton (Chandler Massey) all return, possibly for the wedding of Sami and Dante Vitali (Franco LoPresti). Dante is already fuming that Dominic is a DiMera and suspects Dominic set him up with Sami for a reason. Meanwhile, James Reynolds' real-life Parkinson's diagnosis has been written into Abe Carver's storyline, but he is still taping.
